I'm down 3.5 pounds this week, back to 132, where I was before I went out for lunch and my father-in-law's visit. I am satisfied with that, even though there's not net loss for the month. Well, half pound. But I will take it. I have 13 weeks of uninterrupted eating ahead of me. Well, my son's birthday is in there somewhere, but I think I'll be able to control that.
Something just (mentally) hit me. I was reading a thread on another board about low blood sugar and anger. I've always noticed that I want to eat when I get angry, but now I wonder if I get angry because I need to eat? I have a coupon for a free glucose monitor (and there's a special rewards sale this week at Walgreens, I think) so it might be worth checking out! No, I can't just go to a doctor - my husband and I don't have health insurance. Too bad the test strips are so damn expensive.
8:25 AM - hb eggs, banana, Special K cereal w/ skim milk
11:30 AM - turkey bacon, scrambled eggs w/ onion, green pepper & salsa
2:30 PM - broccoli & cauliflower w/ tuscan romano basil dressing
6:40 PM - grilled pork ribs w/ barbecue sauce & green peppers
7:05 PM - homemade vanilla ice cream; I finally figured out the portion size and enjoyed one serving.
Three cups of coffee and 80 ounces of water. I also had a bite of the watermelon yogurt ice I made this morning. I did not like that at all, so I tossed the whole batch.

Yes, I've been uploading my stuff to Polar's site. I try to do it every day because I don't want to forget and lose anything. I'm sorry you lost yours.
