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’m not known to be a crier, and instead go into these trances where i’m just totally out of it…and listen to a lot of sad/sappy music. 😐
fingers crossed everything starts to get better!
A good cry always makes me feel better too – it’s like instant stress relief. *hugs*
And yum, your sliders look addicting!
Hmmm – I would be thrilled with these sliders as well. Especially with those chopped onions. They look super delish.
I’m all about the cry. Sometimes, it just feels good to get it out. Ryan and I are awesome at talking things out. It may take a little bit before we can get to that point, but I’m so thankful that we can get there. I think those talks are the ones that make you appreciate one another more.
I can’t even imagine what you and Tony are going through, Biz. I’ve been thinking about you both a lot. I cry pretty often during stressful and trying times and I think it helps a ton. It helps me express how I’m feeling. Andy cries a lot too. We are sort of ridiculous. Communication has been really good for our marriage.
Those sliders make me crave a burger so bad! I’m going to make some next week. With onions. 😉
Everyone needs a good cry now and then:) Hang in there!
I’m a crier. And an emotionally unstable mess. haha So things get blubbery and snot filled around here often. Thankfully J is much like Tony – cool and collected, talking it over.
You and your daughter are just like my mom and I. I love onions and she hates them with a passion…. too funny! Looks yummy!
Hugs to you, Biz! You guys are going through a lot, but your attitudes are so positive! It’s so great that you guys are able to talk things out!
I’m a crier…at all things. I’ll cry over a Hallmark commercial. It’s ridiculous! 🙂
Tony, your comment is AMAZING!!!! And Biz, good for you for getting those emotions out. (we’re sisters in good crys this week!!) And BTW, those sliders look amazing, and Hannah is obviously better if she’s eating them. YAY all around!!!! I will continue to send good, healthy, healing thoughts to you Tony, we’ve never met, but I can tell, cancer picked the wrong guy and it doesn’t stand a chance!!!! Take care both of you.
oh my heart aches for you two. i can’t even imagine! but good for you guys for taking the time to take care of each other and talking it out. and thank goodness for wine!
love the sliders, you crack me up with your loner burger in the back, haha!
i’ve actually put on a sad movie just to get me to cry when i can tell that i need it. i don’t cry too often anymore, but when i do it feels SO good. i hope you feel better too!
Mr. Biz….I cry during the end of Rudy EVERY TIME!!!
But Biz…I’m at the point were I cry more then I use too. I really hate it too because I am not one of those that look pretty when I cry. My nose turns red, my eyes look bloodshot. ICK
Those sliders look incredible!
Every once in a while I think it’s really healthy to let out a good cry. It’s great that you guys talked and got it out, you need to!
F cancer!!!
Maybe you can both enjoy this (a little): http://theoatmeal.com/blog/cancer
It doesn’t take much for me to cry. I almost cried just reading that you cried!
I truly believe that crying is just as important for our well being as laughing. It’s such an important release and expression.
Good luck to Tony (whose comment I love, BTW)… you have so many people rooting for you to overcome this!
I cry during important things. I cry when Rudy sacks the QB, and when Jimmy Stewart comes home and his family knows him. I cried when the stupid packers won the stupid Superbowl (dammit). I cried when my son was born (and not just because his testicles were bigger than mine), and I cried when he ran away to Texas. I cried when my beloved White Sox won the World Series!!
I do not cry when some idiot drops weight, or when some singer dazzles the judges. I don’t cry when my PMS is raging.
Mostly, I will not cry about cancer of the ass. That lets the cancer think it is winning.
Ha – great comment babe! I love you!!!!
You and Tony are lucky to have each other and to be able to communicate so well – it truly is one of the most important things in life. I think a little wine under the circumstances was totally justified, and I know a good cry always helps me (and tires me out!).
Your sliders look so good! I hope everything continues to go well with all things medical.
I used to be the world’s biggest onion hater, now I add them to anything I can 😉
I stopped crying a long time ago. Not because it isn’t healthy, it is, but it tends to wig out my family. The kids and Pooldad know when I cry the pain is too much or I am worn down. So if I do cry it is either alone or silently. I don’t like to upset them.
Then again…I would be crying everyday if my husband had cancer, even while trying to be upbeat. You guys are a special crew and I know that you are handling this the best way you can and should be given kudos for that. It is hard not to laugh when Tony says “ass cancer” – sorry, but IT IS.
I really admire you both and saying my prayers everyday. Hugs darling.
I can’t even imagine what you and Tony are going through but it sounds like you guys will come through it together and on top!
On a much lighter note, I am LOL’ing at your whole onion ordeal! ONIONS RULE!!!!!!!! BIZ DROOLS! 🙂
