Yesterday was another day in the soap opera of my life, but I'm not going to go into it - suffice it to say it involved my son AND my daughter, and it cost me $300. Sigh.
I started the day by indulging in an extra slice of my Dave's Killer Good Seed toast with butter. 285 calories. Then, I got rid of (as in ATE) those last three Entenmann's Rich Frosted Donut Holes that have been in the fridge for a week and a half. Another 255 calories. Then, I finished up ALL the watermelon to get it out of the fridge because I had another one to cut up. Instead of 300g at 90 calories, it was 510g at 153 calories. About that time, I decided I was going to stop the madness. I was STILL under my RDI of 2,000, and though I was considering skipping my middle-of-the-night DKB to bring the number back down, my calories were right at 1954, which is my birth year, so I decided to leave it there.
I still got in 30.5 grams of fiber. Fruits/veggies: butter beans, watermelon, cherries and a peach. Drank all my water, and limited my Diet Coke.
Considering all the stress of the day (like NONSTOP stress from the time I woke up until the time I went to bed), I'm pretty happy that I still accomplished all of my goals, and I managed to stay under my RDI limit (though I have been staying in the 1,500's all the rest of the week, which is what I intend to do again today).
Thankfully, the scale was still down 2/10 of a pound this morning - from 147.6 to 147.4. Unless there is an unexplained weight gain tomorrow morning, I will end the week with over a pound of loss.
The $100 that I had to give my daughter (yes, I realize that I DO have a choice in the matter) I will at least get something for. She REALLY needed the money (I won't even say for what), but she would only take it from me if I let her come and WORK for me to work it off. She's coming tomorrow, and I'll be getting $100 worth of house cleaning - which will be a nice blessing. I've wanted to pay someone to come and clean, but I just couldn't justify the expense. Now I'll get what I want AND be able to help my daughter at the same time.
I'm tired of the drama. ALL of my money is almost gone now, though, so in the very near future I won't be ABLE to help. All of my PayPal money (from doing odd jobs) is gone. I have less than $10 in my checking account. And, now, my "blood money" (from donating plasma) is down to only $200 (and I still have to buy my grand daughter's school clothes with some of that - she likes shopping at thrift stores, so $100 will go pretty far for her!). Thankfully, my grandson's have already all been purchased, except for getting him a couple pairs of shoes. Also, gratefully, my mother-in-law bought all of the kids' school supplies for them!
Yes, as someone said on here the other day, we ARE a dysfunctional family. It is what it is, though, and we do the best we know how to do. Somehow, we will all survive all these crises - we have always survived before.
