When I menu planned last week, I kinda skipped over what I was making for breakfast, so I relied on the cafe in our building. This sandwich was half of what they gave me, I ended up eating 1 1/2 with this bowl of fruit – I guestimated 11 points?
Wednesday is my rest day, so no workout. I ended up eating leftover beef stew, but was full and never ate the crackers – lunch is 8 points.
When I was making the menu last week, I put sliders on the menu and Hannah asked if I could saute onions to go with them. I agreed and Tony and I actually placed an onion in our grocery cart and purchased it. (ew!) When Hannah was sick on Monday, she said “I better not be sick on Wednesday because I want those sliders!
Yesterday afternoon I checked my phone and Hannah texted me: “Can’t wait for those sliders! My mouth has been watering all day!”
Hannah could not have been happier – not only for the burger but for my fried potatoes on the side, which are her favorite. My dinner comes in at 13 points.
And then I did something I said I wasn’t going to do this week – I had wine. It’s been such an emotional roller coaster both at work and home. Tony and I stayed up late and talked – while I can try to understand what he is going through, I never truly will. He had just gotten out of the doctors office to get the tattoo on his tumor, and I called him at the exact moment he got out to talk about a household matter. It was bad timing on my part, and I couldn’t understand why he was so upset.
But we talked it out last night – that is one of Tony’s greatest assets is his ability to communicate, and it’s helped our relationship get stronger over the years. And I had a good cry which I think helped release some of the anxiety I’ve been holding onto. I am still positive that everything is going to go well with his surgery next week though! 😀
Do you cry very often, and if you do, do you think it makes you feel better?
Stats for Wednesday:
- 39 points (including 7 points for wine)
- 34 flex points left, 23 activity points earned
- average blood sugar 103
Have a great day!
I am not a crier (but marley and me made me blubber) but yesterday I shed some happy tears and hubs and pup were all confused
Biz, I just really want to hug you right now. But I’m glad Tony and Hannah is there to hug you, and let you cry out good. I obviously cannot imagine what you and Tony are going through, but can only observe, and learn about what makes your relationship tick, even in the face of stress and distress. It’s so heartening to see your relationship only get stronger. I truly believe that this crisis is sort of a blessing, too.
