Weight this morning 132.4 I am definitely thinking about food more and what purpose it serves. Sometimes I think it's to make us happy. I know that God has created all food for us to enjoy but I think mankind has done an injustice my processing food so much. It's not even food anymore when it comes in a box and can sit in my pantry for over a year sometimes two years. I find myself checking dates now along with the sugar content of the food. Just what do they put in the food to keep to stable for that long? What does it do for our bodies except to give us a sense of fullness?
Report on last night, no sugar, yeah! There was 6 of us that went out to eat. We ordered two appetizers for the table and my husband and shared a chicken quesidilla, and lets not forget the 3 bottles of MGH 64. I didn't over eat but I sure didn't under eat either. After the dinner we stopped at the casino and spent a few hours, the machines were good to us at times but ended up taking the money we set out to spend there. My husband offered me his orange soda (not diet) and I refused, it didn't even tempt me. So we got to bed late and we both had to get up early this morning. It was a terrible night for sleep, you know how it is, when you KNOW you are only going to get 4 hours of sleep, it seems that everything starts running through your head and sleep does not come easily. Today I am tired and that makes me want to snack food but with a little will power I'm doing okay.
This morning I noticed my stomach was not bloated, it actually felt good, kind of hungry but not starving. For breakfast I had half of a high fiber bagel with freshly ground peanut butter with coffee. Lunch was easy today since Jeff is working, oatmeal sweetened with honey and I added a few walnuts for protein and the good fats.
I discontinued my therapy sessions today. It was my third session and of course, I think I can do fine on my own. The reason I went was to find out why I couldn't sleep but I now realize I may have been addicted to Ambien after taking for almost 2 years. The doc doesn't stress the addictive quality of the drug when they prescribe it to you. Thankfully I had no problem, other than not sleeping, when I discontinued it cold turkey. It took me about 7 - 10 days to start sleeping again without it. Meanwhile, the doc thought I could use some counseling for anxiety to find out why I couldn't sleep..........could my body built up a tolerance to the low level of Ambien and was begging for more. Thankfully, I recognized the signs and stopped.
I am going to make a loaf of 100% whole wheat bread, if it turns out I will post the recipe.
