Up down up down up down... and not the fun kind :(

Sunday morning. 213.3
Monday morning 215.1?!?! WTF. I went for a walk and didn't eat a bunch of shit.... maybe it's Saturday nights booze catching up with me? . . . Or the bitch load of carbs I ate on Saturday in "celebration of being able to eat solid foods again"

Soooo  woke up and stepped on the scale. Wanted to cry. HOW THE FUCK am I up 2 pounds (almost)???? Kill me now. Sooo I skipped breakfast, had an XL coffee and 3 caffeine pills instead.
Had 1 chicken breast (finally didn't have to cube it all tiny. It was super dry, so I put some applesauce on it before I nuked it. Had a teaspoon of peanut butter for "dessert"
Water all afternoon. Another teaspoon of peanut butter because I was witholding dinner until.......
.... wait for it..... I WENT FOR A RUN!!!!!! I didn't check before I left to see if my podcast was on my ipod. It wasn't. Had to wing it. I did run 60 seconds/walk 90 seconds since I haven't run since like August. But on the plus side I got to listen to better music :) But this is it. Shit is getting real. RESTRICT RESTRICT RESTRICT. RUN RUN RUN.
For supper I had half a salmon fillet and some steamed veggies. Then a couple spoons of date flavoured Greek yogurt.

Feeling so much better now that the antibiotics are doing their job. Still can't sing really.. :( and my i dunno, not my throat quite, but the muscles on either side get tired when I talk too much, and I definitely can't yell... which occasionally needs to happen while teaching. Today instead of yelling, I made the students who wouldn't settle down write an apology letter to their teacher, for being disrespectful and not getting anything done while she was away. Annnnnd they had to write it directly into their French notebooks, since that's the subject they were in at the time. If we'd had more time, I would have made them translate it into French. muahahahahah.

Anyway, this week is a busy one. Play rehearsal Tues, Wed, Run Wed, Fri, Teaching Tues, Wed, Thurs, Hair appointment Friday morning, Job interview Friday afternoon. I'm getting on as casual staff at the hospital. Doesn't pay as well as teaching (... I think?) but should bump up my income a little bit.

Brrrr. I'm cooooold. Shoulda showered right after my run, but I was hungry by 7pm.
Alrighty lovelies, I leave you with a picture of my glorious face, because I felt pretty for the first time in a long time. I look alright for someone over 200 pounds (*shudder at the number*). I've got a long way to go (again) but at least I'm not hideous.
