Quote from my wife… “you’re just kind of mean”. Sigh.
Yesterday I had a shake in the morning, chocolate and frozen berries. Blender doesn’t work very well with thick mixtures, so I drank it room temp. I take supplements from Mellalueca too. That was breakfast.
About 1:00 I went to Panda Express. White rice, orange chicken, brocolli beef for lunch.
Orange about 3:00.
6:30 I roll into home, drink another shake. Vanilla with a peeled orange in it. More supplements. I make this one thin so I can make it cold (grinding ice into it) so there are three 8 oz. glasses to drink. I feel full, no doubt.
Family night so one of the boys made “muddy buddies” and I have a couple of handfuls of them.
So how many calories is that? 300 for the shakes, what do you think?, um 700 for lunch. So I’m under 2,000 calories for the day. But I think I’ve done well. I’m not starving, I controlled my moment of weakness somewhat when I got home and saw those muddy buddies –
Then my wife comes to bed.
“Are you feeling ok”?
“Sure, why?”
“You’re just kind of mean”.
Sigh.
Is it the fact that I’ve been feeling achey and tired for 14 weeks? Is the head cold that is just about gone? Is it the fact that I’m working out in the mornings again so I’m exhausted when I get home? Is it the 66% of calories I should be eating according to some sources?
It’s hard when you think you’re doing good, and your significant other takes it upon themselves to tell you maybe not so much. Your totally together, totally skinny, totally in control of her physical existence significant other.
It just feels like I only have one wheel on the track at any given time – barely in control. Tell me this will get better.
