Debbie Cousins's Journal, 17 Jul 23

Got in 12 cups of water yesterday (had six cans of Diet Coke). Fiber was 35.7 grams (I think that only 11.3g of that was insoluble Fiber - I have planned for more vegetables today) Protein was 94.33g. Calories were 1,867. Walked 5.5 miles. Did 1-1/2 hours of PT exercises.

For the week, my Average Calories Per Day was 1,799 (higher than I would like it to be). Loss for the week was 8/10ths of a pound. Average Fiber per day for last week was 34.2g (goal is 25-35, getting ready for surgery). Average Protein per day was 89.70g (goal is 75g daily until surgery, then 100g after 7/27). Water averaged 8 cups per day (increasing goal to 12 cups/day this week).

Total lost so far (since 6/23/22 is 71 pounds. Total miles walked since 1/1/23 is 745.71, and it's only mid-July. (Last YEAR, it was only 277 miles) I was only walking 2 miles a day when the year started, and now am walking five.

I hope you don't think I'm recording all this to boast or brag. I'm really just trying to figure things out for my own knowledge and motivation. Without God's help, I couldn't have done ANY of it! I am only able to walk because He gave me the "want to" (which I lacked all the rest of my life!), the "where to" (in my nice, air-conditioned house, which is all on one level), and the physical health to be able to do it (in spite of a bone-on-bone right knee).

OK, speaking of walking, it's already 4:43am, and I've only walked one mile so far. Had to catch up on three days of Bible reading first.

Morning Debbie. It’s 2:00 am here. I cant sleep. Nothing new. Since i had to stop HRT and the progesterone was helping me sleep i keep waking up progressively earlier. Considering i go to be at 11 pm this is not great. I wake up then think about impending surgery and voila. Cannot sleep. Great work you have been doing. When you see it in writing are you not blown away but what you have accomplished and continue to accomplish? The Diet Coke is definitely your weakness. Im excited for you for post-surgery and what will come next for you. God is very loving and always there for us if we are willing to put the work in. You are definitely putting the work in. It’s the old story of the boat and the helicopter for the flooding house and the person ultimately drowns. God is there when we need him but we have to do our part too. Really really good job Debbie.

Thank you Debbie. Turns out im sick. Started Friday i vomited but thought was the new pre op supplements surgeon wanted me to take. Progressed to the other end and has gotten worse last 48 hours, specifically starting last night. Thought i was getting sick then wasn’t sure. It’s definitive. Nausea and bathroom nonstop. Terrible timing.

YOH, be careful, that's how I ended up in ICU after 4 days. Hope you're better soon.

SHIRFLEUR the mad dash to the bathroom of the past 30 hours seems to have passed (i hope). Made it thru last 5 hours anyway. Still nauseous tho but no fever. My trainer had me cancel tho i was willing to give it a shot. Todays a new gorgeous day fingers crossed it was just a quick virus.
