Day 9 - 7/12/13

Weight - 316.6, down 1.6 pounds from yesterday, 17.6 from end of loading phase.

Hunger - Today was a stressful morning with Amelia's surgery. I was craving a chicken and bacon ranch from Subway with the chipotle sauce. Fortunately I was able to stick to plan.

Snack - Apple Smoothie - 10:15am
Meal#1 - FYV Homemade Pot Roast - 12:30pm
Snack - Pecan rounds - 4pm
Meal#2 - FYV Shrimp cocktail - 7:45pm
Snack - Orange Smoothie - 9:00pm

Drops - 6:45am, 11am, 3pm, 8:15pm
Water - 120oz

Summary - Started the day off early getting Amelia to the surgery center. Feeling pretty good overall energy wise even with early rising. I've never been a morning person but I am doing great with no stimulants at all (caffeine, etc.) Very stressful morning, but God is good all the time and Amelia did great. Her right ear still has a bad ear infection so we are on antibiotics for that for 7 more days plus 3 days of antibiotic ear drops (she had tubes put in today.)

Today is all about keeping her comfortable, letting mommy get some rest (she didn't sleep much last night) and staying on plan. I went for a 10 minute walk last night but I have 3 herniated disks and that's about all I could muster. Surgery for me next Friday and then on the road to recovery. I'm looking forward to being able to walk for 45-60 minutes at a moderate pace.

The pot roast was very yummy but with any beef/tomato dish I stay hungry mentally for a while. I did add some spinach of my own to help. I added some cabbage with my shrimp as the veggies that came with it were parsley and I'm not a big fan.

Great news of the day - AT&T came out and "fixed" my internet from having issues. Hopefully for good this time!
