I'm afraid to step on a scale. We had turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, cranberries, green olives, and pumpkin pie. I had a turkey sandwich on regular bread with lite mayonaise, along with green beans, boiled potatoes, two buttered rolls, and some green olives. And three budweisers. And then later had pumpkin pie with whipped cream topping. Friday lunch was a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with lite mayonaise, green olives, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert. Friday and Saturday I had pumpkin pie for breakfast. Friday night was pizza. Today's lunch will most likely be a turkey sandwich. In the five days prior to Thanksgiving I was working around the yard putting up our outside decorations and installing gutters around our patio area. I don't count that as a lot of exercise but when I'm busy I don't eat. Those days I ate lightly with no snacking in between meals. And I bought a book "Quick & Healthy Recipes and Ideas" 3e by Brenda J. Ponichtera http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Healthy-Recipes-Ideas-healthy/dp/0981600107/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259426012&sr=8-1 This book has a lot of good recipes and gives the breakdown of carbs, "exchanges", and "nutrient analysis". I'll start cooking from this book next week. I've heard a glass of wine a day is good for you but I've never gotten into wine. An author friend of mine, who lives in Napa Valley and really knows his wine, once sent me six bottles of really good wine. I sampled a few of the bottles and ended up giving the other bottles to friends.

I saw my nutritionist this afternoon. The last time I had seen her was a week before Thanksgiving. I have really been eating badly, what with family and friends over for the holidays and junk food when we didn't eat at home, etc. I was even back to drinking regular soft-drinks and snacking at night. I really expected the worst today. From the week before Thanksgiving to today I lost another 5.5lbs. That puts me at 47lbs lost since August 1st. At one point I had hoped to lose 50lbs in 5 months but since I took advantage of the holidays feasts I knew that wasn't going to happen. But to lose 5.5lbs since before Thanksgiving boggles my mind. I will be getting back on my meal plan and adding exercise. In today's meeting I laid out some night-time activities so I don't find myself snacking. And I wrote down some goals for the next three weeks. I need to see my regular doc as I've been feeling dizzy and am having headaches and feeling anxious or scared or some emotion I can't identify. Either my meds need to be adjusted since I've lost weight or when I started eating badly again it through my chemicals out of balance. Regardless I need to get things checked out. I hope others post how they've done over the holidays.

I've revised my end goal to 185 pounds, so I've set a goal of losing these 15 pounds by Friday, 03/12/09. Now.... you said.... ...feeling anxious or scared or some emotion I can't identify. Ditto here.
Keep in mind I'm a big guy. Weight comes off faster for us that have more to lose. Goals are good but focus on what it takes to take pounds off and the numbers will take care of themselves. I find myself thinking about the feeling, which seems to bring the feeling on or at least makes it worse (the fear of the fear as they call it). It may be that my mind won't let me rest until I do some things I need to do. This is something I developed decades ago when I was young and unsure of myself and wasn't working but had major pressure from my dad to get a job. The emotional damage from that time left me with this feeling/guilt/pressure that at times keeps me from relaxing, or at least unable to unless I feel like I've done a good job or completed the task. But I haven't had this feeling in well over a year. It's difficult to try to figure out. Mostly I need to stop thinking about it.
