OP!!!

Last night was hard. I was starving and I only had 10 points to last the rest of the night and I thought that I was going to die. Okay, maybe not that bad. It's a little too early in the day to be that much of a drama queen. But it was bad. My personal mantra was "It's just food and you don't want it" and guess what? I stayed OP. Here's my checklist for the day:

1. at least 96oz of water - CHECK! I drank at least that much
2. limit coke intake - CHECK! Only 3 (I know that's still a lot, but it's an improvement)
3. eat mini-meals - CHECK!
4. get some sort of movement everyday - no check - but I did get in bed waay early and I needed it!
5. No WP's used during week- CHECK! - Technically I used 4 for a glass of milk to keep my stomach from eating my kidneys. But since my points renewed at 5pm I'm counting it for today's points. (does that make any sense at all?)

We're going to our denomination's regional meeting tonight and they're supposed to feed us. Hopefully I'll be able to make really good choices, but I'll just do the best that I can. My hypoglycemia is really making itself known lately so my focus today is to eat plenty of protein. I'm thinking grilled chicken salad for lunch since I only have 8 points to last until 5 tonight and I still need to get in my mini-meals. (I've already had breakfast - thank goodness!)

So there you go. Mandy is getting back to kicking ask. And the metal demon was nice this morning - back down to 184.4. I'm hoping that I can get to 180 before the wedding on September 1st, but we'll see. I'm not going to kill myself trying to get there.

I hope you all are having wonderfully OP days!

I'll definitely be checking in tomorrow because Amanda has threatened my life if I don't! Geesh - you gals sure can pack a mean punch! ;o) And that's why I love you!! {{hugs!}}
