Day Eighty

You guys, it should not take eighty days to lose ten pounds.  Especially when I have had no sugar in that whole time.  Still, I am grateful that ten pounds is really gone.  If I had GAINED ten pounds over the past eighty days instead of losing it--entirely possible!--I would be twenty pounds up from where I am, and I would really be hating it.

Ten pounds is slightly less than a fourth of what I need to lose, so you can't really tell a difference from looking at me.  I am looking forward to there being a noticeable difference, because I am tired of this view.

I hoped to do a full hour on the elliptical this morning, but I had a late start, and I felt weak and thirsty at the fifth rotation.  I had done more weight-lifting than I honestly would have done old style, and thirty-seven minutes on the elliptical when I called it quits.  Fasting yesterday compromised my strength some, and I also did not sleep great.  I got to bed late, my blood pressure was high in the night, and I also had chest pains.  So, I slept in some.

There is an person out there raising my blood pressure at the moment, telling my children things that are not true, and that I am "manipulating them" with the true information they are getting from me.  And I have to turn my children over to this person later today for two whole weeks AND another road trip.  Ugh.  

I am worried about them.  And I am worried about my blood pressure.  Who seriously thinks this is a good idea?

I started eating after eleven.  I had a sugarless lemon square and two fried eggs with a slice of Swiss cheese.  Later, I had a small piece of salmon salad for lunch, and another lemon square.  A later lunch was a serving of the brown rice and stir-fry I had made yesterday.  Dinner was a ripe peach and half of the leftover roasted peppers.  

I'll have my cocoa and go to bed early.  I am hoping to get ninety minutes in the pool by morning.
