Notes - Fell asleep much easier last night! Really am digging the close to pitch blackness! I went to sleep with a bandana tied around my eyes, loosely. LOL, how attractive! I tied it in front so I didn't have to sleep on the knot. Went to sleep in the recliner chair cuz of continued asthma.
Woke up at 4am in lots o' pain and decided to try the bed for a change of position. I have to sleep on my back cuz of arthritis knots in my hips and also because it's too difficult to breath with the asthma. So I prop up pillows and sleep sitting up in bed. Once I changed positions I slept through to 6:30am without waking.
Yesterday was a real treat. We had a BOGO coupon for Beck's Prime and so we indulged in delicious bunless burger plate. I bring one of my Revolution Rolls and get the bunless plate called a Half Kitchen Sink add grilled mushrooms. It's huge! I share part of my guac and grilled onions with Denny cuz the serving is too big.
I ate half of my burger and brought the other half home. Denny will be "stuck" eating my leftovers for his lunch today! Poor Denny. *sniff* I did eat 4 sweet potato fries. Beck's has delicious ones and they don't use soybean oil to fry. It's one of the few places I will eat sweet potato fries.
Sweet potato fries are still pretty high carb, so I limit them as a rare treat and always end up choosing 4 of the prettiest fries lol! Seems to do the job for me, cuz I get the experience without a carb rush or blood sugar spike and usually without any resulting big weight gain - a sign that my body is tolerating that quantity ok. I get my "fix" without detriment or derailment and don't feel deprived and it's a big win! I pick up my burger like the rest of humanity and I'm flying - feeling "diet free, unconstrained and letting my freak-flag-fly" - for another day.
Can't tell you how important that is to my diet success. The second I constrain myself (oh I hear ya saying it..."You eat 500 cals every other day! Jasus, how much more constrained do you have to get?") with foods that are taboo - well, it's a big fat recipe for disaster waiting to happen. And the way I get around the feeling of deprivation or constraint with JUDDD is in dealing with quantity and eating times. I tell my little warped mind I can eat anything I choose. Nothing is off limits.
I have little desire for big amounts of food during the day. I'm busy and my mind is focused elsewhere and I actually am annoyed at the inconvenience of needing to stop and prepare breakfasts and lunches during the work week. I get hungry around the "after school snack time" and if I have a little Susie Snax, it carries me through to dinner without the Mean Hungries raising there ugly heads even once!
So then, if I go into dinner with a lovely salad, a veg and 3-4oz of protein, I feel like I've had my regular dinner and no deprivation felt on DDs (Down Days). Win one for the Gipper!
Now that I'm observing this feeding window, the UD actually present more of a problem in eating enough calories. I'm just not hungry. This CRR has really zapped most of my hunger. Seriously. The only time I've had less hunger than this was during chemo and radiation.
It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out. I'm still happy to say this is an ongoing n=1 experiment.
