Monday is always a good time to start fresh, even at 4 in the morning. Last Monday (planning ahead) I gave up sugary desserts and I was totally successful all week till yesterday. With my circumstances, anyone would say let it go, and just start over today which is exactly what I will do. There is a free food give-out after church and I only got the chocolate croissants to give to the gal I take food to, who can't get out or hardly even cook for herself since her surgery. I am very stressed by my husband's metastatic melanoma cancer. He had the PET scan Wednesday with radioactive glucose to see how far it has spread and the melanoma specialist said he would call Friday, which he didn't. The report is in his online chart which reads: “FDG (radioactive glucose) uptake is noted in the visualized portions of the brain, salivary gland tissues, myocardium, the abdominal solid organs, gastrointestinal tract, both kidneys, ureters, and the urinary bladder.” Swell. One night this week I didn't sleep a wink, others averaged maybe 4 or 5 hours. I had diarrhea 4 nights this week and had chest pains for so long one night I finally packed a bag to take to the hospital but didn't go. Last afternoon and evening we spent 4 hours going to 2 full urgent cares then the ER of our local hospital for an ear infection of my husband. So binging on 3 chocolate croissants yesterday wasn't the worst thing in the world. I didn't take any of the cakes, pies, or cookies at the free give-out after church, and I will start over today. High carbs will have to be cut next but maybe I will give up one thing each day since I can't face it all at once yet. Let's see, can I give up anchovies today even though they aren't high carb? I started having wine again but am still doing Intermittent Fasting and lost 1.2 lbs this week. That which you have recently gained comes off easiest. I've never lived alone and with my bad back, it really scares me. That and what else is coming. Good thing the Lord is holding on to me. I'm very attached to my home after 50 years and want to stay here. Oh, another news for the couple of people that know my story: this week I received the deed to my sister's half of our cabin. She finally did the right thing leaving it to me in her Trust since she owed me more than her half was worth.
