Week 2, Day 3, Diet with Dianna

I really dislike not getting to stay on a schedule. Life interrupts, as usual. I wasn't able to get back home in time to fix lunch. Errands ran much longer than I had hoped. I ended up waiting in line at that giant warehouse club, for a very long time; Grrr! Then a man is injured in the food court and I stop to offer assistance. Tick-tock...tick-tock...
Anyway, my three hour window shuts; then four hours have sped by, and I am hungry. Unfortunately, I was not prepared. I did not carry any life (diet) support food. It makes me feel like a hoarder...I suppose I can get used to it, but do I really want to? Yes, I will do it, hoping to make this diet a success. I will concentrate and plan even better...I hope?

Revelation Knowledge:
In life, I shall expect the unexpected. Plan as I may, I haven't planned well enough. I will keep moving forward. I won't dwell on the goof-ups and learn from my mistakes. In the process I will become a better person.

Exercise:
If you don't know it, Texas can be a hot, sweltering place in the late spring and all summer, and even lingering a while into mid-fall. Since it was hot AND humid, today, my thoughts were on the uncomfortable sweat that would drench my body as I walked, even at 10 p.m.  My daughter had a brilliant plan; go exercise in the swimming pool. Yes! I called up my uncle and invited myself over for a lingering swim, as well as a healthy way to exercise and stay cool at the same time.  One hour of treading, back stroking, and crawling is very good for my heart and muscles. I was pooped and I know that I will sleep great tonight.

Breakfast:

 I ate the last of my pancakes with sugar free Vermont maple flavored syrup. (Now I can eat something different in the morning!) In addition, I ate two slices of bacon, and my usual coffee w/half & half and a partial package of Truvia.

Breakfast S/C Total: 2/2

Lunch: 

(Cry a tear for this sad story.) One hot dog, and half the bun w/ mustard and a glass of diet soda.

I can hear the boo's and hisses! Sorry folks. If it makes any difference, I only ate half of the hot dog. I was too full to finish. Besides, the serving sizes are monstrous.

Lunch S/C Total:  3/0

Snack:

Six Whole grain crackers, gluten-free, made with rice flour. 20g of carbs, 3g protein, 2 g fiber, 0 sugar grams for 30 crackers! I only ate six! Remember, anything under 5 g carbs is a FREEBIE! My total was 4.2 g carbs.

Snack S/C Total: 0/0

I found these crackers at Wal-Mart. Delicious! Very crunchy! I must get more!
