Last week I went off my diet plan for about 48 hours due to being with A and his family through the wake and funeral of his grandmother. I ate very few carbs but I did have sugar in the form of 2 desserts, and one or both of these caused me to hold about an extra 3 lbs of water. On Thursday I jumped back on board and I've stuck to it even better than before.
Sugar of any amount is a big no-no, so I'm reading ingredients more carefully. We found out that bacon and sausage all have sugar (why?), so I bought ground pork from the butcher and added mixed in spices myself. It was great actually! Me and A had some for breakfast yesterday and it was really good. I never knew I could do that, and its so much cheaper to buy the unseasoned meat and make the patties myself. I also bought uncured, uncut chunk of what will be sliced into bacon. I'll let you know how that one goes. :-D
Last week I received a response from my sister regarding the email I sent her two weeks ago, and it's stressing me out. It looks as if either her girlfriend wrote it or that she dictated it to my sister. My sister is a head person, always letting her head rule her emotions while her girlfriend is the COMPLETE opposite. Well, the email was VERY emotional and some of the things mentioned are things that I know for a fact are issues of the girlfriend.
I want to write back but I've been trying to figure out what to say. I told a friend that I wasn't going to defend myself because it's a waste of time and will make me seem petty, but after letting 5 days pass I don't feel any less of a need to defend myself. I might write a draft today just to start working through it.
The semester is almost over and I couldn't be happier. I need an academic break like nobody's business, and I'm looking forward to earning a full-time paycheck again. I am going to treat myself well this summer. I'm going places, and I'm spending money on myself. I want to try new things, like maybe ziplining. I don't want to sit in the house and hide out. I want to see my friends. I want long weekends out of town with A. Boy I just can't wait. :-D
