Well its been a few days since my last post, My days are all mixes up since working so many night shifts. I am starting to get a over night shift pattern developed.  I have been taking canned peaches and applesauce for a snack at 1 am and then I try so hard not to eat again till breakfast at 5 am. Where i have been having either a bananna or applesauce and one rice cake with 2 scoops of my phenly ade.  I am suppose to be lowering my scoops of phenyl ade and mixing it with mte but i am to hungry if i do that so when i am working over night i have the 2 scoops. When I get home from work I dont eat anything else and I go to bed . I sleep till 12 or 1 and then I wake up and have lunch  and dinner at regular time. I have a bigger dinner , usually something thicker like potatoes or pasta salad with 2 scoops phenylade.  Where as lunch I have the one and one with the mte. On my days off like tomorrow I will just have the one and one mixture. 

I have been really focusing on increasing my water in take the past few days. I feel I have been doing well except for today. Has anyone ever noticed the more water the drink the more you crave it? I have finally been getting in the recommended amount. I think i finally understand why people say when you are hungry you may actually be dehydrated, because my hunger is much more manageable since I am drinking more water. I also have lost one pound. I think its from the water. I dont feel as bloated and my pants fit better. 

I did another blood test on the weekend and will mail it tomorrow.  so they will have 3 im waiting for results to get back on . I am hoping this one is lower. I have been eating less and my intake has been under 300 for all 3 days prior to the blood work.  My calories where a bit high thought But I am happy I can do my own records again and that I got the new version of the food list. I know that when I get the blood level back i can go back in my note book and look at those days and see what I did and what changes I need to make. 

I bought a 3 subject notebook that fits in my purse. I take it every where with me and write down everything but i dont always calculate it every day, sometimes i go back and do  them all at the end of the week . each subject tab is a month. The first few pages are a list of my weekly weights, monthly measurements and a list of physical activity and what dates I went to the gym and what I did. It helps keep me organized and visualize my progress.  

Just going over my weekly plan for this week. I am starting yoga this week with a friend. and hoping to get back into the gym and pool this week. went for a lovely hike this weekend to and got some great photos so i am hoping to get out with my camera. 

Well thats all for tonight, 

best wishes!
