after notes: I was positive I would be down, but so much for what I
know up half a pound L Could be because I only spent 5 hours in bed
and didn't drink squat for water. In fact, I know that's it. Without proper
sleep and enough water, nothing else matters.

Morning
after notes: Down a whole pound! Yippee. Saw the doctor, who scheduled me
for a Doppler scan of my leg in a couple weeks with a vein specialist. Since
it finally started to heal but only with the use of a support stocking, it
seems clear that there is venous involvement. That part is not good, but it
is better to know something like that than to not know, and it sure isn't a
visible problem, if not for this infection in that area we might not have
found out for a long time that I even had a problem.

after notes: More snow out there, YAHOO. Up a pound and a half! Yikes. But
worth itI overdid the salsa and the wraps, it had been so long since I ate
anything so resembling real Mexican food. I may have to think twice about
the guacamole and salsa and SF margaritas I had planned for gametime today,
however. Although I already bought all the limes and avocadoes, and it would
be a real shame to let them go bad perhaps I could say this whole weekend
was a mini-vacation, in celebration of the book? We shall see how I feel
this afternoon, but I just may GO FOR IT. I feel worthy.

went out! Had a salad with ranch and a 10 oz sirloin steak and one bite of

these days? For the cost of our meal I could have bought a week's worth of
steak at Sam's Club, too. But we were celebrating Mitch passed his
Master Electrician's License exam the night before and Roxanne made the JV
basketball team, as a freshman, not an easy thing to do and something she
worked very hard at. And Matthew came home from school with a certificate of
accelerated reading. And I got my FEIN (whoopie). So, out we went, and cured
we are. And after we got home I made a big bowl of instant OIAB. (I have one
of these whip cream machines that use co2 so I can make individual servings
easily. One tip don't ever put davinci syrup or vanilla extract into
the machine, the cream then "burns" your tongue and tastes awful!
But the machines are WAY cool, like Redi-whip but you can make it with
Splenda and real cream.)

November
21, 2000 Tuesday
-
Got
really busy preparing for Thanksgiving and stopped recording everything in
Lifeform.
-
I
went to the vein doctor this day for a Doppler Scan. He found no indication
that I will suffer from varicose veins like my mother but he did find a
"perforator" vein under the scar. Said he can't tell if it is
"leaking" but since I am healing, to proceed on the assumption
that all is well, and if the area breaks down again, then it must be leaking
and he will do surgery to "tie it off". For now I must keep
wearing the support stocking :( especially when exercising, standing for
long periods, etc. Prepared smothered mexican wraps for dinner, and fresh
salsa, ate too much and gained a pound.
-
Wed.
the 22nd skiied all day and skiied my totally thin friend, who has
been going to the gym three times a week regularly, since last spring, into
the ****ing GROUND. As usual, I could do that even when I was fat fat fat,
but this time she didn't expect it since she is in better shape then she has
ever been. I KNEW it would be that way, since I have been exercising all
along, myself, as well, and could always do it hehehehe. I am happy to
report that once again I can ski from the tippy top of Vail Mtn down to the
very bottom without ever stopping even ONCE. Whooo Hoooo. Been 15 years
since I could say that. Karen, the virtual blur on skis, is back. Watch out.
(I even caught some air about 5 times!! And have no broken bones.)
-
Thursday
the 23rd, Thanksgiving Day I was good, but not good enough For
breakfast I ate 3 fried eggs and some bacon. Never had lunch, just sort of
grazed on the LC appetizers which included Spicy Nut Mix and Sweet Nut
Crunch, shrimp with cocktail sauce, fresh salsa and pork rinds (tortilla
chips for them), fresh veggies with TLC ranch and bleu cheese dips, beef
summer sausage, pepper jack and sharp cheddar cheeses with jalapeno mustard,
and crackers. Dinner included turkey, LC stuffing prepared with my own dried
LC bread and a loaf of Oroweat lite too, "regular stuffing" for
them, gravy made with ThickenThin and Keto-milk for all (no one could tell
the difference!) mashed potatoes for "them", LC cranberry sauce
(served "regular" as well) green bean casserole with a minimal
amount of Durkee onions in it and none on the top, a big smoked ham, and SF
orange jello with real orange pieces in it. Although I ate more than I
usually would other years, I did NOT feel stuffed and lethargic afterwards,
in fact I jumped up to clear and do the dishes pretty quickly. Dessert
included one bite of my daughter's very first homemade pie (apple) one piece
of my own LC lemon meringue pie, and coffee with DaVinci syrup
macadamia nut, my new favorite flavor. This morning, I am up FIVE pounds.
Can you imagine what would happen if I ever ate a CAD "reward
meal"????!!!! I probably had 8- carbs over the course of the day
at the absolute max. *sigh* Won't do this again anytime soon, and hope it
goes away quickly. Will be very good the rest of the weekend and as soon as
the pass restrictions are lifted I will ski again, and that will help for
sure. There will never be a more fun way to exercise than skiing hard, of
that I am convinced. And re: this holiday - I have no regrets, as I did
nothing "bad", it is just that I am so sensitive to carbs compared
to some people So I am up 6 pounds, altogether. SO WHAT. I lost them once
and I will lose them again. Starting right now! :)
-
FRIDAY
THE 24th I was very good and kept my carbs very low and dumped 3
pounds. But I didn't enter anything in Lifeform and I have no intention of
going back to try to recreate it I sort of enjoyed the break!~

Morning
after notes: No change, I am still up 3 total pounds, but that's hardly a
surprise given my meals yesterday! Making green chili with the turkey
carcass today, will try to keep my calories AND carbs low, as I have noticed
that after a high fat, high calorie day like yesterday, a day with minimal
eating but plenty of protein can really shake things up. Would like to start
the week off back to where I was, at least! But I will be there soon, I am
sure.

OIAB

Morning
after notes: This day just goes to show why I need to stick with Lifeform,
religiously, even after all this time. I was sure I ate very few carbs
yesterday, yet my net was way more than I thought once I input everything
this morning. And the scale reflected that with a 1.5 pound gain. Had I
stayed away from the baked goods, and **actually** eaten low carbs, in
combination with this kind of fat, I feel sure I would have lost. Now I am
up almost 5 pounds, total, and I am far from pleased. I vow to run to the
computer and input every single thing I even THINK about eating, BEFORE I do
it, for the rest of the week, and I am sure that will get me back on track!
Something has to! AT LEAST MY BRONCOS WON. (Sorry Bonnie! What a
nail-biter!!!)

regularly! Wish I could afford a treadmill, but I need to sell hundreds more

by my birthday in February

after notes: OKAY. Down 3.5 pounds after this day of getting serious! Guess
that weight WAS mostly water, as I am within 1 pound of my all-time low and
I expect to be back there tomorrow. And then the next day I will ski and
hopefully dump some new loss, it has been WAY too long since I changed my
flasher!
