Every night is like a battle for me to not eat everything in site. Last night I had a good night. I had a 4 oz piece of fish and a few nuts. That was good for me. So yesterday my eating looked like this. I had protein shake for breakfast, protein bar for break, a cup and a half of roasted squash for lunch, and then the fish and nuts for dinner. So not a bad day. I didn't get on the scale because I am waiting until Tuesday to do that. I didn't go swim last night, got off work and have a terrible case of allergies or a head cold can't decide which. I'm still sick this morning. My nose is red and hurts from blowing and my head is hurting. I woke up at 2:00 with a headache and couldn't go back to sleep. My eyes are so tired but my nose tickles and runs and my head just won't stop aching. I don't feel like I have a fever but am very warm sitting here so maybe it is a cold. Hopefully whatever it is I get over it soon. I don't feel like eating anything so I'll just stick with my protein shake for breakfast and then see how I feel at breaktime. I am taking cottage cheese with a few pieces of pineapple in it for lunch today. I'm going to go sit in the hot tub tonight when I get off. I have to run to walmart and refill some prescriptions and then I should be able to go to the gym and relax. I just might swim to cool off if I am still hot.

No problems with the band except I am really tight in the morning and taking my pills to work helps because I can take them later in the day, they don't seem to come choking up that way. We are going to PF Chang's tomorrow so I am excited to see what I want to eat. They have such good food. My mom got a nutritional print out for the restaurant so I'll be looking over it. My mother seems to be doing good since getting the sleeve done. She lost 22 lbs the first month and is still losing, she is down to 150 now, boy what I would do to be 150 lbs. I can't ever see that far down the road. I'm just struggling to get to 220. I can't wait to say I've lost 50 lbs so far. It will be so nice. Well that is all I have to say for today. Take care and good luck in your journey.
