Debbie Cousins's Journal, 26 Jul 21

Pretty good day today. Finishing off just under 1,600 calories. Drank 7 cups of water. Went to the grocery store and got watermelon, cantaloupe, cherries and "cherry plums" (which don't seem to be in the database - about the size of a golf ball, and a cross between (you guessed it!) a cherry and a plum. Did not do my PT exercises at home today. I have a regular PT appointment tomorrow, at which time I think I'll give up on the PT, though I have another month of doctor-authorized visits. I'm getting fearful that I'll get a big bill. They've already billed everything through Medicare, and now they're billing through my supplemental insurance. Can't take a chance on having a big out-of-pocket PT bill, with my husband's skin cancer surgery coming up next month.

Still don't have "a plan" as far as what I'm going to eat tomorrow, but at least I have some good choices in the house. I've been being mindful to add in some protein with each meal. So, with not doing the PT today, I only achieved three of the four things I was going to focus on. BUT, that's three things that I did NOT accomplish yesterday, or the day before, or the day before, or....

My son is making some of a special soup he concocted a couple of weeks ago. It has chicken and vegetables in it, but it's in a creamy (as in Heavy Whipping Cream) "broth". He's going to bring me a bowl tonight, and I will have it either for breakfast or lunch tomorrow. I'm guessing I'll be able to enter it as Panera Broccoli Cheddar soup, since it is pretty rich. Anybody know how many ounces are in an actual "cup" of Panera soup? Is it less than 8 ounces? I've never gotten it there before, so I don't know how big the containers are. If the cup IS 8oz, then the bowl is 12oz, because it is half again as many calories as the smaller. Never mind - I just figured out that the bowl IS 12-oz because a "bowl" is the same number of calories as "12 ounces". OK, at least I know how to record it tomorrow, and I know enough ahead of time that I can work it into my plan.

You are absolutely correct... accomplishing 3 out of 4 goals is much better!!! Keep focusing on what you are accomplishing!
