Welcome back to Oz, JB.
The past few days have been difficult in terms of staying on track of the diet. I did splurge a little bit, and had a couple of pieces of whole wheat toast with breakfast, quinoa, and some trail mix when I wasn't able to have lunch yesterday. I also did have like 1/3 cup of granola in a yogurt parfait at breakfast this morning. It was rough trying to find a filling breakfast that wasn't 50+ g of carbs. I was excited to get some sort of protein shake from Jamba Juice, but I couldn't find anything.
When I did have a piece of toast, I definitely felt the effects of consuming carbs in a more complex form. It sends messages of cravings to my brain and makes me really want sugar. And carbs. And more sugars.
Today was supposed to be my weigh-in morning, but since I am currently on a train home, there's no way for me to get home in time to accurately get a weight. I will be doing the weigh-in tomorrow morning instead. I am hoping that this deviation from the normal diet didn't do too much damage. I am going back onto the more strict regimen now.
Mentally, I am doing much better. I don't want to jinx it, but overall, the distraction of seeing two of my favorite ladies (Jackie Burns and Ingrid Michaelson) on Broadway again was a treat. I never thought I would see Jackie in the role of Elphaba again in Wicked, and it was absolutely exhilarating. I am SO happy for her, and she absolutely rocked it last night. She is easily one of the sweetest people I have ever met, and I am honored to know her.
Now that I am heading home, I am hoping I can transition back into the real world gracefully. I am not concerned in terms of diet, because it makes things easier when I have a fridge and am able to graze throughout the day. I hope my anxiety still just is at an ebb and I am able to get into the normal routine again. Not to be too graphic, but it is my time of the month, and I actually think I have been better since I've gotten it. It is like the emotional waves died out a little once it started.
Now that I am losing weight, I am hoping my concern of whether or not I am hurting Seamus by riding him will fade. It is my hope that with a better saddle fit and a lighter rider, it will make it easier on him to do his job and for me to teach him said job. A friend pampered him while I was away, and I am super grateful for it.
