Hi, Matt. I'm cutting down my calories & keeping track again too. Well done on getting those scales moving in the right direction again Soon you'll be under 210 againIs Misty ok?
Thanks, unfortunately it started moving in the wrong direction again. TBH, I'm a little worried about her. I've noticed she'll get more anxious at night (ie: panting, pacing, licking the floor). She's also had more accidents; I've found poop near her bed.

Today's Weight: 211.4
Breakfast: 2 Poached Eggs, 2 Pieces of Toast, 2 Packets of Oatmeal, 4 cups of Coffee.
Lunch: 1 Soba Noodle Broth bowl, 1 small Strawberry Poppyseed salad, all from Panera.
Snack: 2 Bags of Chips.
Dinner: 1 Marie Callender's TV Dinner (Meatloaf).
Snack: 1/4 of a Large Yogurt.
Miscellaneous: 4 Bottled Waters.
Estimated Calories: 2150
Exercise: 2.75 Hours of Walking.
My weight went up so I ate a little less today. Also I had a follow-up neurologist appointment. They don't think I have Epilepsy, though they want to keep me on this prescription b/c they think there is a possibility I may have another seizure. It looks like I may have to take it for a year and if nothing happens then they'll ween me off of it. I have another appt. in 5 months, which hopefully nothing will happen and I'll be cleared to drive again.

Poor Misty. She's getting on in years now. She's a lucky dog having someone who cares for her so much
She is, she's about 13-14. At least she's doing fairly well physically and doesn't seem to have much problem walking.

Cate's right she is a lucky dog, to have lived that long and still be walking she has been well cared for. Our Walker made it to about 14 1/2 years. That was about 5 or 6 years ago, I still miss that dog.

Good news that they don't think it's epilepsy, Matt.

Since the side effects of the medication have been dying down a bit I decided to go out again. I went out to eat and tried to do good, but broke down and had dessert. The doctor said I could drink, but not to overdo it so I only had 2 drinks.

Thanks. I don't blame you, before I had Misty, I had a sweet little beagle that died of cancer about 10 years ago. I still miss her.

Hey Matt, it looks like your weight is moving in the right direction again. Good for you.
Keep up the good work.
I think your doctor's advice on this is good, probably good for all of us!
Keep up the good work.

I was going to avoid for McDonald's but unfortunately I failed. Unfortunately McDonald's is the closest place to where I work, like walking distance. At least I didn't do as bad as before, though I went out to eat later on.

Ugh I'm trying to cut down on calories but can't seem to do it. Part of the problem is I think the medication is making me hungrier also I've been getting new type of yogurt that has twice as much calories as the type I've eaten before.

I should not that the calorie count is incorrect. It was actually 2400.
