Well, things got quiet here for a bit, but it’s not without good reason. First I went into a straight week of one family member after another having a birthday (including me!) with Father’s Day in the middle of it all. Also in the middle of it all was me fighting a bad toothache that causes horrible headaches. Not a fun way to spend a birthday.
Because of the bad tooth I have been on a Slim Fast diet for three days now, not simply a diet plan, but a literal Slim Fast diet where the only thing I have been having every day is Slim Fast drinks. I can’t chew solid food at the moment, so I have been drinking Slim Fasts. It’s not too bad, I’m on day three (or is it day four?) of nothing but Chocolate Royal Slim Fast Optima drinks and have lost roughly 3 pounds. Go me! I’m trying to regulate it so I drink more than I feel like drinking just so I don’t starve my body and have too fast of a weight loss, and I plan when I get into town to pick up some soups and creamed soups like chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup and such, give me better nourishment than just the Slim Fast. Apple sauce would be something else I should be able to eat okay, so I’ll get some of that too.
I would love to be able to go to the dentist and just say “Fix the teeth, please.” Unfortunately that is something that I can’t afford. Would cost between $3,000 and $5,000 to get the work I need done, and that probably does not even include dentures or whatever else I would need when the teeth were finished being pulled. Sucks not being able to get health insurance.

I picked up some of that Nutra-Trim Gum when I was in town the other day. It is a weight management chewing gum that claims to help control cravings and increases the metabolism.
The recommended dose for it is to chew two pieces of Nutra-Trim Gum three or more times a day, but I have been just chewing one stick at times when I know that I am going to be having trouble with cravings, such as after midnight before I am going to go to bed, or when I am working on my novel, and it helps me to keep from going after munchies in the kitchen.
So far the gum seems to be working. I have even tried not chewing it or chewing a different kind, and I can notice a difference in the intensity of craving.

I at least know what caused this. I was rather bad this week, what with having a chicken sandwich and an ice cream at McDonalds - with a non-diet root beer. Drinking cappuccino like it was water. Eating Hershey’s chocolate… pork chops and stuffing… a Hostess Fruit pie… ice cream… ::pounds head on desk::: I deserve that weight gain. I really do.
Time to knuckle down and get serious once again, stop with the stupid diet moves and stick to a diet plan that can help me loose the weight. At least this is mostly just an upswing in the fluctuations, but it is still disheartening.

My weight has dropped once again, not a lot, but it is down to 193.8 now. I’ll take a slow, but steady, drop in weight. After all, it did not go on overnight - why should it be shed overnight? And with Summer coming on, I should be able to get out there and do even more work in the yard than I have the past few days. Then the weight should really start to drop away. I hope hope hope! We’ll just have to see on that, though. Still, I have two energetic little puppies now that will be demanding more of my attention for play time this summer, so that should help a lot with keeping me getting outside and getting some exercise - particularly when they get old enough to take for walks.

I am contemplating revising this website, I have been working on a layout for another one of my sites that I think would work perfectly for this one, so I might end up changing things around some. I need to do a little more work on the other site first, see what I think about how it is working, then I will know for sure if I want to do that or not.
