Leftover Hell!

Does anyone else have a problem with leftovers? I can never keep leftovers. it might be sitting in the fridge for a couple of hours after dinner or whatever meal it is...but you can be damn sure that its eaten before i go to bed...or in this case...if im woken up. if i manage to get through a night without waking up i would have been ok. but this is not the case this past night. i was doing fine till i got woken up at 1am by a certain teenager who i love and adore....no names please.....(rolling eyes) anyway.....we had hamburger helper for dinner which the nameless teenager made and was very good but we had leftovers which is fine since she really doesn't eat dinner (this was more of a lunch than dinner...but it was like a late lunch.) and i knew that when she got home she would eat it....which she did...but not all of it. and since i was up....i ate the rest. which wasn't much..but still. i didn't need it. it was just there.

i eat because i can...because its there.

In my defense....i have to say that i have seriously started to take this weight loss journey seriously again. and i even excersised a little bit. since i didn't blog the food yesterday i will just put it here:

Monday

3pm (at home) about 2 cup of hamburger helper cheeseburger macaroni 2 slices of bread.

7pm (at ihop) Southwestern chicken fahita salad which has fahita stuff...onions, peppers, chicken, and salad stuff. the only thing bad in that salad was the dressing and the sour cream which was a spoonfull

coffee/water.

last night while playing canasta online, i did some movements in my chair. enough movements to say that i can feel it in my stomach and arms. ill explain why i did it like this in a min but i did some twisting, simulated sit-ups, i twirled my arms around for a good hour while i played cards.
some might say that i didnt' really do anything and be that as it may, but to me it was something. yo uhave to understand that my body right now is one big cramp waiting to happen. because i haven't really been as active as i should be, whenever i do anything even sleep....i cramp up. my legs especially. i get wicked leg cramps so painful im crying.

just last week i was stuck in a parking lot cuz my calf cramped up so bad i couldn't bend my leg to get into the car. i had to wait it out which was a good half hour. can you imagine having a charlie horse in your calf for a half hour.....well imagine that 10 times worse. so i have to be careful how i move my body. can't really do sudden movements. ive been taking potasium pills (thank you cindy) so im hoping that helps. ive also been taking a daily vitamin in the hopes that that will help me out too. as far as getting the nutrients that i need. and its not just my legs either....i get cramped up in my sides if i turn the wrong way....its all over.

so i did that last night and i will do it every night till im strong enough to to more. little by little. the fact that i can feel the muscle soreness in my arms and stomach lets me know that i did something. so im happy about that. its a start to bigger and better things.
so far today ive had:

2am: (in bed) about a cup and a half of hamburger helper

8am: (in my car) mcdonalds breakfast (the usual)

11:30: (at my desk) coffee, fruit cup

the rest....TBA

Later that day....

430pm (in my car) chicken sandwhich (mcdlds)

6pm (at bingo) Mcdonalds chicken ranch salad

8pm (at bingo) half italian beef with peppers and cheese, potato chips - this was so not necessary but a habit i couldn't ignore. and the salad was small really.

water

You know, potassiam pills are a good start but you really should be getting most of your potassium from leafy greens, spinach and bananas. I have the same problem with potassium - and according to the doctors it's caused by a few things including too much salt in the diet and not enough green foods with naturally occuring potassium. Also, water, water, water!
