Breakfast: bowl of lucky charms, cup skim milk, 1 coffee with cream and sugar
Lunch:
Dinner:
Loss of appetite is more than I had expected. I had to force myself to eat my very small bowl of cereal this morning, and having a banana with it was just out of the question. I have lunch with me and despite having been running around all morning I am not the least bit hungry. I keep forcing myself to nibble on dried cranberries but I just don't feel right.
As far as I remember, I've only peed once today, took pill at 6am.
Weight was 288.5 immediately after waking, no bowel movement. I'm finding it extremely difficult to show excitement at this progress.

8 days.
Breakfast: cheerios, skim milk, banana.
Lunch: dried cranberries for snack.
Dinner: 2 plates of spaghetti and meatballs, half a cookie.
Went to the BW gym last night. Half hour on the elliptical kicked my ass. Hopefully I'll have time to go again today. Miss Callie is going to be my workout buddy on the days we both have off!
Made a blueberry and banana smoothie after the gym last night with a splash of milk and a squirt of honey... amaaaazing! Must keep that in mind.
Took my first Diamox last night, the tingling in my hands was intolerable.

33 minutes walking, 2975 steps. It was excruciatingly painful today, shooting pains coming from both legs outside calves from ankle to mid leg. Had to stop at the park to rest and stretch, it helped a bit but the end of the walk was still terrible.

35 days.
When we started this adventure, it was just about 50 days and it felt a lifetime away. Now at 35 I'm panicking that I won't have enough time. I'm also concerned how I'll hold up in these conditions, I feel worn out.
Breakfast: vanilla cereal, skim milk, banana
Lunch: chicken tortilla soup, cucumber, string cheese.
Dinner: currently undecided
Goal for today: take it easy at work, don't fall asleep. I'll reassess in the afternoon.
I ordered Proactiv on Saturday and I'm expecting it today or tomorrow. It's part of my get skinnier-better-healthier campaign. I feel better about everything when little details like my skin and nails are nice.
2941 steps in about 31 minutes, left ankle was getting shooting pains all during the walk and for the rest of the night... had to use an ace bandage. Left outside calf around ankle was very sore almost immediately into the walk.

36 days.
I was thinking I would save my weigh-in for Tuesday, or at least a weekly wrap-up on Monday but I cheated last night. I couldn't fight the curiosity, and despite just having had dinner I stepped on the scale... just cuz.
292.5!!
Five days, five pounds. And that was even though I just ate/hadn't pooped. So yay me! Small victories :) This morning I woke up remembering my good fortune, I touched a few places to see the fruits of my labor. It's most likely just my imagination that I think things feel different, the truth is I have a long way to go.
Breakfast: vanilla cereal, skim milk, banana
Lunch: 4 enchiladas, apple, string cheese
Dinner: 1.5 bowls of chicken tortilla soup with chips and cheese (I was naughty).
Goal: 3k steps at work, at least a 3k walk later.
4647 steps at work. Due to exhaustion and the weather, no workout last night. I am exhausted beyond belief, went to be around 9pm last night and I'm still tired. I also understand why people become Tylenol addicts. I woke up this morning very sore, it has subsided but I'm struggling to wake up.

37 days.
Friday
-No breakfast
-China buffet for lunch, but I did my best at editing my options!
-Half a buffalo chicken salad for dinner with a blueberry pomegranate margarita and half of a brownie ice cream dessert.
No time for exercise, my bad. Plus, I needed a day off after 5 hours solid of being on my feet.
Saturday
Breakfast: lucky charms with 2% milk, banana
Lunch: the rest of my buffalo chicken salad from yesterday, diet coke, string cheese for a snack.
Dinner: 2 leftover slices of buffalo chicken pizza, ear of corn, small nibble from a frosted sugar cookie.
I read somewhere that you should decide how much you want to eat before you start eating. I like this idea, but it worries me.
1175 steps at work, 3405 steps after dinner. Legs begin to hurt much later in the walk and with less intensity. Only paused a couple of times to stretch. Encouraged by progress, would like to increase duration/distance next week. Goal: 5000 steps.
Goal for tomorrow: do this again.
