cabbage is a free food????

I am not sure if I trust this but, 1 cup of dry shredded cabbage only has 20 calories so...it would kind of make sense that it would take more energy to digest such a fiberous food than that. Also Walden Farms(tm) has a Coleslaw dressing that is calorie free. (don't ask how they do it I don't know and I am not sure that I want to know) so I could have 1 cup of coleslaw and not count it towards my calories. Much more appealing than 6 dill pickle spears. Although those are great too. Also 1/2 cucumber has only 15 calories and celery 8 calories per stalk, that combined with the no calorie Walden Farms(tm) ranch dip I ordered makes for one very full yet sticking to my calories for the day woman.
Today is fairly nice and I should head over to the pool but I don't feel like it....arrrgh will she or won't she.......


Drumroll please........
She did. I made myself go over to the pool and swam for about 10 mins straight. Only stopping for a few seconds at a time to catch my breath, so that is my exercise for today except I might ab roll later because it is a "cheat" day of sorts. (we are going for barbecue tonight).

Feeling better but...

I am trying to find more foods that have "negative" calories or "free" foods. That way I can supplement my diet with more stuff to fill me up and yet not adding extra calories. I guess I could just eat sawdust but really who thinks that is a good idea?
So far I checked Google(tm) and am not sure I trust the list I got, apricots are a free food? I find that hard to believe, also plums, peaches, and blackberries. This seems too good to be true. I will have to do some further research.

Still light headed and kinda oogey

Yes, oogey is an adjective to describe nausea. I don't know what my problem is, a woman at work thinks it is my thyroid; another one thinks I am pregnant and Greg is still certain that I am just not getting enough calories. I don't think that is it but I may not be eating enough. You can get a ton of calories and still not be eating enough. If I had 30 Oreos(tm) tomorrow I would be having plenty of calories but I would probably feel kinda faint at some point. The weird part is I am not hungry. I mean I am at meal time but it isn't like I am ravenous all day or anything.
This morning I had a grapefruit and two light string cheese for breakfast, then a 1/3cup homemade trail mix for a snack, then a chicken broccoli and cheese Lean Pocket(tm), and a baked potato for lunch and a 6" Veggie delight (tm) sub for dinner. That seems like plenty to me. What is the deal here?

Weigh in day....

2lbs, that's right 2 whole pounds, not 1.6, not 1.4 but 2. I don't know what I did this week that was different or if it is just arbitrary but I know I am psyched and am now only 5lbs away from my next 10lb increment. I find that if I look at it in 10lb increments it doesn't seem as daunting, then my next rate is where I was when Greg and I met which I believe I still have 40lbs to go but the problem is back then I was using my brother, and sister-in-law's old analog scale and so I might be wrong but, I don't think there is any harm in being off a few pounds here or there right?
I am still loosing and am so grateful.
Yesterday my stomach was upset and I felt light headed so I didn't make it to work. I slept most of the day and had to have some high calorie stuff to meet my calories for the day. Today my stomach feels okay so far and we shall see... Greg thinks I might not be getting enough calories and that is why I started feeling that way, I think it was lack of solid sleep which is why after sleeping much of the day yesterday I feel so much better today.
I get in at least 1200 calories a day and usually closer to 1500 so I am not sure what he wants me to do.
I have to go pull weeds in the garden today so that should up the exercise meter for the week... hopefully because it looks like we are getting a bunch of rain again this week so I probably won't be able to get to the pool as much as I would like to. Oh well...

Burgers....I want burgers

I smelled someone cooking burgers on the grill and thought. I want burgers! Normally this would mean that when Greg & I got out of work I would go to 5 Guys (tm) or Burger King(tm) but tonight it meant I picked up some 97% lean ground turkey and some whole wheat rolls. Satisfying a craving, is satisfying a craving right?
I am not sure how I am doing this week but my clothes seem to be getting looser and looser so that has to be a good sign right?
I don't know, I just know it feels pretty darned good.
