154.8 this morning. Yes, really. Yes, water. My finger joints are so swollen that my typing is affected - not sure if it's for the better or worse. I think it's all a hangover from Saturday, when I crawled around the kitchen painting the inside of cabinets. On my knees, on my back, on my elbows - no, that's not where I got paint, but the positions I was in to get at some of the more remote bits. This was just no fun. And it took, including the cleaning I started with, pretty much 8 full hours to complete. I would say that the only part of me that isn't stiff and sore is my scalp, except that's not true either - I think I bumped my head on something at some point, so I have a bruise there as well.
And that's just the first coat - we have to have a do-over to get a second coat done. That may be tonight's job. Blecch.
Anyway, I didn't eat all that well this weekend. Mexican food, lots of chips and salsa and queso. Potato chips, dried cherries, cashews, chocolate. Very little meat-and-veg, honestly. So, a reset this week. I'm going to restart (have, actually) the Shangri-La thing, and see if it helps at all if I'm able to give it at least 4 straight days. Also, trying to be a bit more diligent about getting in at least 2 meals most days - I think the no-breakfast, no-lunch pattern I'd fallen into lately is not doing me any favors at all - probably slowed my metabolism to a near-stop. Add the stress of the remodel and everything else that's going on, and I'm kind of a mess right now.
Here's yesterday's eating, as I recall it:
- tea with cream
- cheese
- cashews
- potato chips
- dried cherries
- dark chocolate with almonds
- chips and queso
- grilled chicken breast
- fruit salad (mostly berries, nectarines, grapes)
- tomato/cucumbers in italian dressing
- roasted potatoes
- a lime-flavored "fruit bar" frozen thing - way too sweet, but tasty
- a glass of wine
- a finger of scotch
Lordy! No wonder my weight went up. I'm surprised it wasn't worse!
