Yesterday, we went to William's family house in Boston for a triple birthday party, so this was a test of not eating too much and being picky about what I was going to have. Since they ordered pizza and a cold cuts tray to make sandwiches, I had to estimate. I did not add mayonnaise as it was too high in calories, but I did add mustard which was zero. About 2 slices of two different types of sandwich meats, and a slice of cheese (Swiss), and finally 2-4 tablespoons of coleslaw. I had a cup of coffee black with some sweet n’ low, and later a decaf Diet Coke. I think I did okay, breakfast was at Dunkin Donuts, so I know how many calories I had, as it is not the first time I’ve had their awesome turkey bacon breakfast croissants, so good!!! 390 calories though, and an iced coffee, slim milk, and sweet n’ low.

I Hate Being Hungry!
I think the worst part of a diet, is not the exercise, well I guess that is too lol but it’s adjusting to not eating, what you normally were eating, or should I say the portion size. The first few weeks, you go hungry. I hate that! I can’t even be near the kitchen, because I get hungry haha. I try to drink water when I get hungry, it helps fill me up. I’m trying to stay under 1,660 (corrected) calories a day, some may think that is a lot, but I think for myself it’s ideal at this time, perhaps later it will change. But as mentioned, it’s just those moments when I feel the hunger pangs. I can’t wait until I get passed that phase. As for exercise, it’s difficult for me, as my knees are bad. I injured one over 5 years ago, and have not been able to have a doctor look at it. It’s bad enough I just got a bill, that was not fully covered, Continue Reading
Happy 60th Birthday Catherine! WooHoo!
Last night we had a family dinner, Williams family. We all met up at a great restaurant. It was to celebrate Williams moms 60th birthday, woo. There were a few times during dinner, the restaurant go so loud I couldn't hear people at our own table talking lol. There were about 11 of us. It was nice, we sand Happy Birthday to her, we got her a nice warm New Englands Patriot zipped up sweater, really nice one too, she absolutely loved it. She really doesn't look 60 she looks more like early to mid 50's. She is such a super nice lady, and happy to call her almost my mother in law hehe. From what I heard, now that she is at 60, she gets a free cup of coffee free at Dunkin Donuts for life, that is pretty awesome. Well I stopped blogging, and did a quick search, according to this forum thread, seniors (55 and over) get a free cup every Continue Reading
