Day 186

Well I didn't win the Mega Millions last night so had to get up and come into work today. Slept good last night. Since Callie had been waking me up in the mornings I decided to close the bedroom door and I think probably slept better because of it. Also took some Tylenol PM since I wasn't feeling good.

Weighed in at 235.2 today

Dr. Appointment went well. Blood pressure was low 140's/low 80's. I had also lost 5 pounds since I was last at the doctor about a month ago. He told me I should be eating at minimum 1800 calories a day so i've been kinda skimping on food. I need to add in more fruits and vegetables. Also told me to focus on losing 16 pounds by May. I certainly hope to lose more than that by then.

Lunch - 2:30 PM
Lean Cuisine Sesame Chicken - 330 calories

A bit of heartburn after this meal...but not too bad.

Snack - 4:30 PM
Fiber One Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar - 90 calories

Felt much better today than yesterday. I'm wondering if it had to do with the eating the carbs during my morning snack. Dr. said I should be eating complex carbs so that may have helped.

I actually felt fantastic when I left work so something must be finally coming together. I'm sure dieting is a huge shock for my system and will take a bit of time for me to get used to it.
