Alligatorob's Diary

[Llama]

40°C is indeed stupid hot. Great job sticking to your calories on the holiday though!

 

[liza3]

Yeah once you reach 40 degrees it doesn't seem to help that it's dry heat...
Nice you have that promising bit of snow to meditate on when it's gross. Do you have air-conditioning in your home?

 

[Emilyrose]

I feel like you have to have flag cake on the 4th of July. Your food doesn't look bad to me at all!

 

[alligatorob]

Not a great day, just 3 minutes into a workout got a call that my sister-in-law had died. We rushed over to her house got there just before her daughter and were met by the police. Nothing criminal about it, but that is who gets called when an unattended death occurs. Her health was not good, but still it was an unexpected surprise. She was 72, a lifetime smoker, diabetic, and overweight, but showed no sign of anything immanent... Stayed with her daughter most of the day helping with what we could. I think just being there was helpful to her... Anyway food was haphazard, not over on calories though, and no exercise.

Sorry for your loss Alligatorob.

 

[Marsia]

Oh, so sorry Rob. I bet her daughter was so grateful that you were there for support. I think you did wonderfully with food with such a stressful day especially.

 

[Cate]

Oh, Rob. I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL. I'm sure her daughter would have been very grateful to have you there.

 

[Llama]

What an awful shock

She was 72, a lifetime smoker, diabetic, and overweight, but showed no sign of anything immanent...

That's the scary part of all these now-common ailments: so many people have them that we're lulled into a false sense of security.

 

[MsBubbles]

I'm sorry to hear about your sister-in-law.

 

[liza3]

So nice you could stay with her daughter. I'm sure your presence was of great help. Really sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss

Yesterday was a good day. Ate more than my 1800 calorie goal, but not a whole lot more and no binge, good enough. We had unexpected company last night ran into an old friend and his son yesterday and had the over. I drank some wine, my homemade peach, but have a pact not to do it today.

Thanks all for your condolences, I appreciate that. People are doing as well as could be expected, her son arrived yesterday I think that is helping her daughter.

I'm with you! Will do my best for sugar-free day!

 

[Llama]

Less than 10% deviation from your goal sounds good to me.

 

[Cate]

You did well under the circumstances, Rob. Catching up with old friends creates an occasion. I'm glad your nephew has arrived to provide extra support for his Mum.
I had one glass of wine yesterday, but will not have any today.

 

[size32someday]

You have done great considering all you got going on.

 

[alligatorob]

Yesterday was not a bad day. I went a little under on calories, but not a lot. Struggled to make my 140 g protein goal, fell just 1 gram short. Making that goal is hard. My weight has been creeping up for the last 10 day, 6 pounds. I know that can't be fat, not eating enough for that. Hope its just water that will go away.

I'm with you! Will do my best for sugar-free day!

Made the challenge yesterday, felt good.

I know, but with my weight creeping up I do worry a little. Too soon to panic though.

Thanks Cate. I know it was ok, but getting reassurance is nice.

Thanks Someday, nice to hear it from you.

 

[MsBubbles]

I also find it hard to hit the protein amounts, and usually fail. Unless I also way exceed the fat

 

[liza3]

Good for you getting up that high--I'm always way short of my goal and mine's only at about 65-70!

Made the challenge yesterday, felt good.

 

[Llama]

Again: less than 10% deviation from your goal today. Only this time in the ofher direction. Fluctuations are normal. And being 1 g off that protein goal? That's such a small difference you can't even know if it's real, because measuring errors and rounding.
