Egg fasting due to sheer luck

- One egg

- Four eggs with iceberg lettuce (not exactly sure how much lettuce as it was prepared and eaten in the middle of my night's sleep)

Fried in butter (obv!)

I think that part of the reason I have been eating so many eggs is 'cuz that's basically all I have in the house... I mean, other than a bunch of frozen meat, but that is not exactly "on the ready."

Love,

(The last four eggs were made in the middle of the night, which is not ideal, but it beats eating 20 servings of condiments... oh, my life! .)

Planked for 2:50...
 Wow... Doesn't my menu just seem boring?  You know what is funny?  I seriously do not get bored with my menu.  I like knowing what to expect.  I think that some people would get bored with it and prefer adventure and to change things up a bit, but I do like eggs.

I started phentermine yesterday.  I went to the doc for a refill on my basic meds and started talking to him about my weight... I just want to quit obsessing about food so much and stop gaining.... not to mention, get to goal before I get my skin surgery !!

Middle of the night eating.........

I do better just cutting it out altogether.  I eat mindlessly, in front of the fridge, door open... ear plugs sometimes in.... In desperation mode... in screwingmyselfover mode....

I'm done with the self sabotage that happens in the night.  It's not a restful night's sleep.  It's no way to live and a fast way to die.  It throws me so out of whack that I wake up with sweaty pajamas, feeling sick, a mess in the kitchen...

Just saying "no" to late night eating is going to be easier than just doing it here and there.  Moderation is not my friend... For me, abstinence is >.

Weighed in at 186, which is nine pounds up in a day.  :/

Low carb menu whilst on Vacay, Day Three

California Day Two: San Diego, Point Loma and Orange Count

- Hard boiled egg with 2 oz cream cheese
- Some salted butter
- Sauteed mushrooms
- Top sirloin steak with blue cheese on top
- A few bites of prime rib
- One strawberry 

Spent the first part of our day exploring San Diego!  It was cold and rainy, so we hit Rite Aid for a big ol' umbrella and hit the coast.  First, we went to Point Loma, which is just the coast of San Diego, which is waaaay south.  I freaked out because my little flip phone Welcomed me to Mexico (and notified me that calls would be $1.79 per minute.)  We hit the Cabrillo National Monument.  We were so close to the border that we were even pulling Spanish radio stations. 

We found a great walk-out beach area where we found an awesome view of the Pacific Ocean, so we trudged around the beach.  I mostly held the umbrella and tried not to slip down the slippery rocks.  It was behind the National Monument, which is a pay-to-enter excursion, which limited the amount of folks on the beach.  The cold, rainy weather also limited beach access to basically "just the crazies."

You definitely have this feeling that you drive and you fly and you walk and you're finally "here."  You go west and west and west and then... you have finally arrived.   How many have come out west with a one-way ticket and a dream?

Then, we drove around to Coronodo Island.  We found a little pull-off and viewed the beach.  There were kids and dogs and it looked like the perfect place to build a sand palace - weather permitting.

We did a fly-by-night drive through Balboa park and the San Diego zoo parking lot. 

Next, we checked into Laguna Hills Lodge where we quickly loaded in and got dolled up for dinner at the Orange Hill Restaurant, which was positively swanky and totally LA.   The view... The view.  It sits atop a huuuge hill and overlooks LA, Disneyland and surrounding cities.  At about 9:30pm, we even saw the the fireworks above Disney, which actually was appeared to be the cutest little firework show above a little doll house.

We gazed into each other's eyes and laughed about the last eleven-plus years of knowing each other while we got all starry-eyed at the amazing view.  All in all, a wonderful dinner.  The valet even took cones down and let boyfriend snap some photos.

My ex gf lives here, which is kind of odd..... It just doesn't feel like her, but I don't suppose that anything would to me.  We were together so long that we were barely recognizable to each other anymore -- or to ourselves.

The view!

The ring, day one of our trip

Made it to San Diego!!!  Today was mostly a driving day.  Ken came home from work at about 10am and we were gone by noon.  I drove to San Diego... He slept just a little bit.... It's so cool here...  Then, once we got here, we went down the to the pool at 9:20pm...

Having fun on the way!

Coffee in the pool... Vacay has BEGUN! (Complimentary coffee just tastes better)

 

 

Since this is a log of what I consume.... I suppose I must include what I ate last night--

Today, just an

one egg fried in butter and lots of diet soda, a little water and low carb energy drinks...

Yesterday, I ate:

Headed out on our trip.... Excited to get going....

SO egg-cited for Cali!

Leaving for California tomorrow!!!   I'm making ice as we speak... (or the freezer is)....

So much to do....

I won't be back here 'til I visit next time... which means I will have to have ALL my stuff packed and ready to go.  I have this little luggage scale that has proven to be helpful.  It was like nine bucks off amazon and I really push that fifty pound limit to the max.

Trying to make the trip more about the adventures and less about the food.  And life for that matter!  I want to get teeny tiny before I get my skin all hacked off.  *sigh* 

TEN DAYS IN CALIFORNIA omg omg omg!  I have the best boyfriend ever.  He literally planned every inch of the trip.  I think he missed his calling as a travel agent.
