Food totally sucked on Sunday. I didn't have any more than 32 oz of water all day as I ran around. I didn't get to eat barely any protein until 9:30pm that night. I was starving though I tried to find healthy choices at Starbucks while running around finding size 6 - yup I said SIZE JEANS!!! - 2 6 grain dry rolls and a venti Americano no cream a little bit of splenda was totally not enough.
After I went to mom's to check up on her as she fell again at the waterfront while running. This time on her right side. I was pissed and upset all day, but she said it wasn't as bad, but she fell on her face again and ruined her glasses and cut her face in 3 places and her cheek was all swollen :(!!!!! So no food, running around on fumes, tired, did I mention hungry, and my mom was hurt and busted up again. She is worried about the pics. I told her at least they are digital. We'll have the photographer do some work on them and they will be fine. What I was angry about is that she promised the last time she took the traumatizing fall she wouldn't do it any more, but she did. What did she expect? A different result?! She promised again, but in reality if she decides to it is her decision and she is a grown adult. I'm going to try to talk to her about joining a gym. Heck I'll add her to MINE! I just want her to USE IT! Her face has had enough of a beating don't you think? I called this morning and she is doing well. She did the treadmill at home instead and said the pain is manageable. I stopped off at the store and got 2 reusable cold compresses for the freezer that are filled with a gel like substance that is softer on the face than the hard angles of ice in a sandwich bag. She is icing on and off. Hopefully she'll heal in a few weeks. If not we do with what we've got. We didn't do my hair. We'll wait until next week. She was sore and it was late, but I did get my jeans and my taxes done. I'll have to go grocery shopping tonight and cook for a couple of hours but oh well. At least I had enough to get by today and tomorrow at the least. Looks like the marriage license will be done tomorrow as well. One thing at a time.

Day 73:
136.2 - not bad after a week of not eating enough protein, or water and trying to exist on whole wheat carbs - NOT! Bloated though I feel good in my size 6 curvey no stretch boot cut jeans this morning. My tummy hurts and is slightly irriated. I'm eating my meals every 2 hours and drinking TONS of water today to help my body out. I feel bad when I totally abuse it like that when it doesn't deserve it. I'm back to treating it with the respect it deserves. It was pretty pissed at me during my morning workout. I was so tired and hungry! But I pushed hard thoughout to make the most of it and really enjoyed my protein pancake afterwards.

AM - 30 minutes of lifting for chest
AM - 60 minutes of elliptical w/arms

I've eaten Meal 1 & 2 already so I'm feeling good. I'll eat Meal 3 and then hit the gym for my PM cardio so that we can go straight home so I can cook like a crazy women tonight to get lunches, breakfasts, and dinner's ready as well as a few snacks.
