I got an iphone and used the fatsecret calorie counter on it. Sadly, it wouldn't let me log in to my own account but wanted me to either go without one or create a new one. Not very well-desiged! But it was easy to keep track of things and I did good. Ate and burned about 1700 calories each. Just realized I ate more than that because I forgot the soymilk in my coffee. How I lost weight I don't know, but I think its because I've upped my salt and my water intake to counteract my low blood pressure, and perhaps somehow that made me lose water weight. I feel better already and haven't been dizzy when jumping up from lying down. Apparently, replacing electrolytes (and not just water) is a must when you exercise as much as I do in the heat I do it in. I can't remember if I drank a lot of gatorade when I was a runner as a little girl with my dad. Probably only on race days. It's finally getting cooler here in Florida, which makes it easier to go much faster, so in some ways I am getting more of a workout. Hmm, maybe that's why I lost two pounds. Well, I am not going to worry about it for now unless it continues. I am eating healthy, adequate food and allowing myself treats when desired, too.
I had a rough evening last night. I was upset because a friend's cat might have been murdered or at least set free in an area where he can't find his way home. This broke my heart, I love cats, and it could have been prevented if my friend's mother hadn't moved with it to an area where cats are not allowed and let it run around outside while pretending it wasn't her cat. If someone hurt that cat- people can be so evil... Then another friend calls me and tells me about all kinds of trauma in her life that I didn't know about- I knew that her former brother-in-law had raped her repeatedly and that her family never believed her or took her seriously when she tried to get help, but apparently that is the LEAST of her traumas, because there was soooooo much more that you don't want to know about. Yet it wasn't the trauma itself that upset me the most but the fact that she is drinking again and she has two young children (and a teenage boy). I think one of them is breastfeeding, and she also needs her faculties about her to protect the baby from its daddy, whom the court told her must be allowed to see the child but the FBI told her he might potentially molest her child because he is being investigated for having child porn on his computer (Yes, really!) and there was more but it's way too long a story for here... like how she held a knife to his throat to let him know not to molest her children- given some of the behaviors he's displayed which indicate the FBI might be right I understood why she did that but then she said she cut him "a little, only a quarter inch" and that scared me. I tried to convince her to go back to therapy but it didn't work- maybe I will try again when she is sober as she was obviously becoming intoxicated while talking to me. So I was upset about my friend and told my hubby I was upset and I thought he would talk to me when he got off work (from home) at midnight. Instead he worked until past 1am, unpaid for this extra time, and said at one point he was going to work all night long (again for free), and we got into a big screaming fight. I forgave him so that I could go to sleep but needless to say I did not get a ton of sleep and am on slightly extra coffee today. Praying for a good day at work today. I am a great listener which is part of why I am becoming a therapist, but sometimes even therapists hear too much because we all are only human, and that's the kind of night I had last night.
In better news, I love my new iphone. Have a great day!
