Hubby was able to make the laptop work again : ) I feel so lost without a bigger screen. I can access FS on my phone, of course, but it seems to not be able to save journal entries or comments on my buddies' journals. And let's face it, it's a lot easier to use! I think I did well with both exercise and food yesterday. Really wanted a glass of wine after dinner, but knew it would put me over. Dinner was a baby greens salad with some cut up cooked chicken on it, so I knew I'd be hungry later. Just finished my workout for today, too. Didn't do as much as yesterday - Cardio Max 1 & 2, and Bootcamp, so about an hour of exercise (430+ calories) Must have gone harder at it yesterday or just the weird way my body works, but after the cardio portion yesterday, my heartrate was actually up to 100. First time since I've been tracking it. Today it only got to 82 (130/60) or so. Just after the end of the workout, including cool down, it was only 60, and bp 105/67. That bp is just all over the place!
Going camping this coming weekend. Hopefully will do as well or better with the food and drink as last time. We plan on hiking again, maybe exploring the hiking trail near the campsite more than the first time, too. We'll probably do that beautiful hike again along West Fork of Oak Creek, but I want to look up a couple others, too. One of them is the Boynton trail and it's supposed to be gorgeous, too.
I'm going to lunch with my neighbor tomorrow and I am a little worried about it. She wants to go to a local place that supposedly has great food, but it's all really rich and fattening. I'm hoping I can have control and order a salad with dressing on the side and maybe see if there's a small steak or something. Great reviews, but I've read you check your calorie consciousness at the door! Then on Tues. I'm going to the barn with another neighbor. She's going to hopefully show me how to care for horses. I'm excited about it since we plan on owning a couple when we move, but I seem to be able to really work out only in the mornings, but after I've been up a couple of hours. She wants to leave by 9:00, so hopefully I'll get a chance to work out when we get back. She's a new friend, so when she offered, I jumped at the chance. Only commmenting on the here as all the breaks in my newfound (nearly 5 months, now) routine makes it scary for me. It's so EASY to get out of a routine and so easy to mess it up. We're leaving for Sedona on Thurs, but I'll pick my husband up from work in the late afternoon, so no reason I can't work out Thurs. But I'll miss Fri - Mon, most likely.
Mmm...what else is going on....I seem to be falling asleep easier (taking Melatonin again and added 5-HTP instead of relying on the Benedryl that I have been for a couple of months now) and for some reason wake up earlier and earlier. Today was 6:00 (for me, that IS the crack of dawn) and tho I stayed in bed another hour, I could just as easily gotten up. The only thing is, I'm tired during the day. Don't know if it's seasonal (which I suspect it is as I seem to wake up earlier in the summer - it's AZ, so it IS summer : ) or the thyroid meds, or going back to melatonin and the 5-HTP. No doubt those two help me fall asleep.
Still feeling a bit depressed, but not as much as the other day. Nor as weepy. I think I just don't cope well with "surprises" and I don't deal well with the idea of having other things control me. Maybe the idea is settling in and who knows? Maybe my case will be easy to deal with and I'll be feeling good and able to lose weight in no time. Or, more likely, I'll still have to struggle, but be resigned to and know that if I want to look and feel a certain way, it's the price I'll have to pay. At least that sense of hopelessness is going away. That sucked.

As far as lunch at that new restaurant with your friend - you can usually look up the menus of most restaurants on line these days. And most places are willing to grill you a plain piece of chicken or steak if you ask for it with nothing extra on it. Nice that you have made a new friend. And your camping and hiking area was so beautiful. Hope you have a great time!

: ) I tried looking it up (I'm the Google Queen! : ) but no luck. I'll try asking for steak or chicken without anything on it - you know it's usually so good because they slather it with butter on its way out! I hope my determination holds out. The ironic thing is, the friend that I'm going to lunch with is the same one who told me about her endocrinologist and is also always on a "diet". Funny, huh?
Yes, I hope we get the same spot to camp in, it really was so beautiful. That's why we'll risk setting up at night. Didn't realize it was a holiday weekend when we first planned on going. Thanks!

Hey D! Good to hear from you! Awesome about going camping again! That sounds awesome! This weekend we did go out and do some birding, and of course fishing (my hands are TORN up from all the fish!). I don't neccessarily believe FS, but it said I burned over 4000 calories yesterday. -------------------------------- Ugh I hate thinking about places like that, where you just have to look at the menu and basically try and guess how they're going to cook it or what they're cooking it with - but I know you're very educated, I mean you got me hooked on that one "Eat This Not That" book and it's been so helpful. And it sounds like you are already mentally prepared by thinking about what you could possibly order. I know you don't like seafood but at a really good restaurant might be a good place to try something new - and fish is LOW LOW Calorie. I eat so much fish, lol I actually had steak for dinner tonight and it was so strange - texturally, lol I'm used to fish and chicken. ------------------- Oh and about that book you posted in my journal, I will have to look on Amazon and ya know I think I saw a preview for that Oprah but I forgot to try and watch it because, well, I never watch Oprah, so I'm not sure when/where it's on here, lol. But yeah I kind of get the idea of what you were explaining. I'm not actually like... "not a believer in god", I was raised in the Lutheran church, so I'm more of an agnostic in the sense that I equate a lot of things to nature, believing in evolution, etc. BUTTTTT Anyway that's not important, lol I still respect and can understand other religions. I am gonna look that book up though, I need some good reading material probably - to help keep me on track. ------------- Sending you big hugs - Feeling hopeless isn't uncommon, but it's not fun. I can feel ya there. But I know you, you have this wonderful positive spirit so don't let it get you down for long! ------------- One more thing... I always am sleepy during the day but I sleep weird hours. I need to get my bf on some of that melatonin, I've told him about it, because he talks in his sleep and tosses and turns a lot when he's stressed out, lol. Anyway I will talk to you I'm sure this week before you go camping, we'll keep each other on track, I think we're both feeling a little the same way about everything. So - you've already beat me through a workout, so that'll motivate me to not skip it tonight! :D Much love and hugs!!
