Weigh-in Wednesday and a GI system recalibration

Today I was postcall, which means I came home filled with hopes of productivity and then napped instead. I took my mom's dog for a walk after I woke up to get some exercise in without going into an intense lactic acidosis with a harder workout since my GI system is slowly coming back to life and I didn't want to push it. I saw a dermatologist this afternoon and had some little vascular lesions on my nose buzzed and then came home and spent some time with the kiddos, had dinner, did bed time, and am now updating you, my adoring fans.

I also did a weigh-in today and am a bit disappointed that my GI distress didn't result in more of a loss.

0.4 pounds down from last weigh-in

Tomorrow I'm in clinic, which means I'm back to the walking pad, which should be good. It's at a 5% incline though (and isn't adjustable) and so I do get really sweaty when doing that workout. I've ordered a desktop fan to help with that. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, so here's hoping that I'll be less wet at work. < I'm leaving that statement right there because I think it's perfect and you will not tell me otherwise.

Today's eats:

Lunch

Other part of lunch

The oh shit, I'm hungry but I have somewhere to be protein

Same as above

Beef pot pie - it looks yummier not in its ziploc

Dessert - not from 2023, don't worry - this was probably an inappropriate test of my GI system

Let's see if I can keep up the food photos while working! And let's also hope I don't explode from drinking egg nog like an idiot.

Eats and election anxiety

OMG. THE ELECTION. FUUUUUUUCK.

Now that that's out of the way, let's proceed as planned. Today, I was in the office, which meant walking pad time! Before lunch, I had about 4k steps. I did a workout during lunch, and rounded out my 10k steps before even leaving work. That's always nice, especially on nights the kiddos are with me because I already have a ton of Mom guilt about not seeing them all the time so I'd feel too guilty not being able to spend time with them while I exercised. On weekends when I have them, I don't feel so bad sitting them in front of a screen for an hour so I can exercise, but on weekdays when the time together is already limited, I just won't take that time for me.

Food photos today were a bit harder because 1) I had to take them while walking on my walking pad and 2) I forgot a few of them and thus will supplement them by using online photos. Today, I ate the following:

Breakfast at work

Other part of breakfast

Grapes for a snack

Fiber bar for poops and farts

Right before lunch snack 

This is what's pictured above

Lunch: Banana and leftover pot pie

Berries for an afternoon snack

Cookie dough snack while supposedly making cookies

Reyah's plate (because I'd already eaten mine): Chicken tetrazzini and asparagus for dinner

Today's eats were pretty reasonable. I probably ate more than I needed to because I packed hella stuff for work and wasn't hungry every time I ate, but alas, it's something to work on. Tomorrow I'm doing a day call shift at the hospital, where it is WAY HARDER to eat healthy. You'd think they'd push healthy food at the hospital, but nope. They have mostly processed unhealthy shit in the physician lounge. Why? Because it's cheap and if you know anything about healthcare, it's a business and profit margins are the most important thing.

And lastly, OMG. THE ELECTION. FUUUUUUUCK.
