All Systems Are Snow
I’m all dressed for the gym, but I don’t know if I dare drive in this weather. If I need new tires?
I should clarify: the weather app says it’s snowing, that it’s supposed to snow off and on all day. I haven’t actually looked out the window to see if it’s true. Sometimes the weather app is wrong.
Full disclosure: there is nothing I’d rather do right now than to rip off this bra. All they ever do is irritate my skin. All I can think about every second of every minute is how itchy I am.
If I knew I wasn’t going to the gym anytime soon, I absolutely would take it off. Bras are stupid.
I had my last visit with the nutritionist before surgery. It went well. I’m actually down 5 pounds from the last time I weighed in there. I wasn’t expecting that.
I’ve been trying to cut back on coffee these last couple of days, down to two cups: one first thing, one in the late afternoon. It certainly makes me appreciate it more. It feels more like a treat again than something I’m on the verge of abusing. It brings down the calories for sure.
I must be a volume drinker. I pick a low or no-calorie beverage and consume massive quantities of it.
The problem is that I just looked up the meaning of volume eater and it’s not the same thing. A volume eater will eat large amounts of the same healthy foods to their personal advantage. I drink obscene amounts of the same beverage to my own detriment. Diet soda is terrible for you. Decaf coffee with artificially sweetened creamer, while not as bad as soda, is still not great.
Some health professionals, e.g. naturopaths, believe that artificially sweetened anything is not good, and that you’re better off with regular sugar.
I would imagine that for most people, it all boils down to moderation.
But for those of us who hardcore struggle with moderation, there is bariatric surgery, and the strict dietary protocol that goes along with it.
My WW leader made a good point about my surgery being in January. I can enjoy the holidays. Her daughter had the surgery, so she knows that it’s a lot to deal with.
No one around here has a delay, so I’m thinking I’m good to go.
Drive safe today, you locals. Keep your wits about you.
