So I haven't updated here for a while. I got sick on Wednesday and took Thursday off (didn't even get on my computer all day), and then the weekend happened. Oh well. My weight today was 195, down 3 pounds from last week. Looking over my weigh-ins, that's a new low. My previous low was 196.2.
I'm surprised. I haven't been watching what I eat and figured I'd be over 200 again with everything I've eaten. Instead, I get a new low. :) I'm feeling better after being sick last week so I'm going to do this.
The overnight girl is sick. She doesn't have what I had. Mine was a mild cold. She has a fever and I didn't so she has something else - something I would rather not catch. Anyway, Brad will work 11 pm to 11 am, then I will come in at 11 am tomorrow and work until 11 pm. 12 hour shift. Yay. NOT. Oh well. I always need the money.

Weigh-in
My weight Sunday was 198. I am hoping it is just water weight from all the bloody marys (tomato juice is high in salt), but I have been eating and eating and eating. Today I was over 200 and that's from four days of eating everything in sight. I'm doing the "alcorexia" thing today - drinking lots but not eating anything.
My half marathon on Sunday went well. I walked it because I'm fat and came in at 3:32:30. We had an exciting weekend. Saturday after church we were driving to the expo and were in the fast lane on the freeway when Brad's tire shredded. With the amount of traffic it was a minor miracle that we got over to the side of the road without being hit. He called for help and his insurance company sent out someone to put on the spare tire, but it was just a donut tire and not a regular one.
We used to donut tire to get to a Goodyear shop and buy a new tire. They said it would take 90 minutes, but I explained that we needed to get to San Jose before 5 pm (when the expo closed) and the 90 minutes became 30. :) Soon we were on our way again. I loved the expo and spent way too much money. I got my runner packet and bought a water bottle belt. At it's largest setting I could barely get it on. Damn, I'm fat.
The run went well, but it was really hot. I loved the volunteers misting with hoses at the water stops. At one point they handed out sponges soaked in ice water, and at the end there were small towels soaked in ice water. I mostly kept cool by pouring cups of water over my head at the water stops.
Oh...the inversion table I ordered came today. I told Brad to put it together for me so I can try it tonight when I get home from work.
He're to a better week ahead with my body eating itself for fuel...

Ate
Yesterday I ended up at about 1200 calories. I was starving so I had two cups of plain Greek yogurt with my wine. Could have been much worse.
I was too hungry today and I felt a binge coming on so I went to Subway and got a footlong roast beef sandwich. I know that will make me show a gain tomorrow if only from water weight. But it could have been much worse and instead I pigged out on something healthy, so that's a win. :)
Left my phone at work last night. Ug. Got home and used Brad's phone and told the overnight girl to put it in my box. So I couldn't listen to anything on my way to work today, or update the Bible program with what I read today.
The first Teeter hangup I bought on e-Bay never came. I finally got a refund, and used that to buy a different brand inversion table. I'm hopeful it will help my back pain, since the new chiropractor is not going to work out if she can't crack my back. Need a new chiro. :-p
I am craving tomato juice. WTH?!? I have two Bloody Mary's today and they were so yummy with just the right amount of spice. And now I want regular tomato juice. I'm weird. My cravings are weird.

Mid-week check-in
So hungry today. And I'm so tired. I got to bed at my usual time, but had to get up early for Bible study and mid-week communion. Today is day 4 of my protein shake "diet." The hunger is getting to me, but I must not eat or I'll gain weight. I am desperate to get to my second weight goal: 188.4, when I will no longer be "obese," but merely "overweight." I also want to lose enough that when I see my family for Thanksgiving, they notice. I hate being the only fat one in the family.
I'm currently getting a little under 1000 calories a day, with one protein shake (160 calories) for lunch, one for dinner, then a bottle of wine when I get home from work.
I might eat Friday, but keep it healthy like plain Greek yogurt. I'll be eating all weekend. Saturday is my normal cheat day, then Sunday is the half marathon in San Jose. 8 a.m. start time. Ug. I see myself getting up at 5 a.m. to get ready and then the long drive there. This is a half marathon I haven't done before so I'm excited. Also a little scared. I'll have to walk fast to finish in the time provided (4 hours). Better than the San Francisco halves, with a 3 and 3 1/2 hour time limit for each of their halves.
