Baby step forward

 I will be running out of titles the more I blog it seems.

Today has been a good day. :)

I woke up in a great mood. Made myself an hubby breakfast because he was awake as he had morning practice for Cross Country summer conditioning. Then I came back and relaxed in bedroom till Kroger delivery got here. I was quite cross to see that he had fallen asleep in that 30 minutes so I had to haul the order in myself. I put the cold stuff away and then back to bedroom. I figured they could put the room temp stuff away. How about my daughter was the first one up about 2 pm and it is now 6 pm and everyone else is still sleeping. 

During summer we turn into a nocturnal family it seems. I decided I needed to get some movement in at 3 and I completed a 30 minutes workout. Just a few movement on the workout machine we have and then some wiggle/dancing and then 60 kettlebell swings in sets of 20. I didn't want to do anything too outrageous and make myself give up. I have been putting off movement since I figured why bother since I wont be able to do anything after surgery for a while. But then I decided it won't hurt to get some movement in. I have plans on eating very low carb today and maybe a few more days beyond that depending on how I feel. Halfway done with my liquid now and it is 6:07 so I need to work on that more.  It isn't like I am going to bed soon but I already get up often to pee. Speaking of that....BRB  HAH! Ok while I was in kitchen I filled my cup and cleaned my scale. The bottom feet and the top glass part. You know I HAD to step on it right? It was only .6 higher and I have drank at least 50 oz of liquid and changed into a heavy outfit after my shower.  Could just be a coincidence though. At least I know my bladder is running since I went before I went into the kitchen and then I had to go AGAIN five minutes later after I left the kitchen. I am hoping surgery will improve my bladder size as I think it is being squished in there. 

I did end up keeping my surgery and now have the pre-op appointment set for Monday 6/30 and then pre-registration called and I paid the copay on credit. $96 a month for 24 months no interest but that just means adding to our already overdrawn monthly budget. Siiigh. It is what it is- I just pray that I will be one of those people that it turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to them. I was looking at old blog post and saw I mentioned our monthly bills. I WISH that is what they were now- they are 2k HIGHER than back then. UGH!!!

The reason I wanted to move today and get in my liquids is because I have been trying to do some memory searching as to what I was doing back in 2019 when I was last actively losing. I have been eating similar but I realized I was not drinking anywhere near the amount of liquid now than I did back then. Back then I was drinking 80 ounces plus a day (of diet soda) and moving more intentionally. With either walks or just trying to keep up with my bosses steps for the day. It was a game because 99.9% of the time she beat all our butts in steps for the day. 

I had eggs with ham and cheese and half an avocado for breakfast. A protein shake for a snack (techincally lunch as breakfast was eaten at noon) and I am planning a ham salad for dinner. Might throw in some turkey as well. I will be making hamburger helper for the boys later. She already made herself some nuggets so she won't be hungry.
