It appears my body likes being at this weight which is completely fine by me. I'm really trying hard to get those BAB's in but work is sometimes uncooperative.  I mean I have to be there at 5am so I would have to wake up an extra 30 minutes early to eat here at home but that would mean I would have to get up at 3:30am the latest.  I may have to start doing that because I went to a training today to learn how to swipe in and out.  We did this many moons ago and they act as if we're morons and don't remember how to do it.  I understand that there's new employees that were hired recently and they don't have a clue on what to do but to drag all of us there, ridiculous.  So I didn't get to go shopping today because after that training, I got out of work later than usual and I did not feel like battling with anyone.  The drive home is stressful enough with every route I take is under construction.  I did stop at Walgreen's just to get one of my free Refreshers and I did.  The flavor I wanted I wasn't able to reach it so I got my regular flavor.

Okay, so today's BAB consisted of a humongous boneless pork chop and a whole avocado. I was afraid to take some brussel sprouts because some days, I just don't know how they are going to affect me, if you know what I mean.   Later I had an apple.  I sit here right now debating what to eat and what to cook for tomorrow's BAB.  I'm waiting for things like steak, chicken thighs and more pork chops, to defrost.  I have another cooked pork chop in the fridge but I don't know if I should eat now or save it for tomorrow.  I have plenty of eggs and asparagus to make an omelet for dinner instead but I just don't know.  As I sit here typing, I've enjoyed some dried plums and a few potato chips, yes potato chips.  I only had about 7-8 of them and quickly closed up the bag before I start mindlessly eating the whole bag.  Yesterday's dinner consisted of a huge steak, mushrooms cooked in butter, lard and coconut oil (same as the steak) and a huge salad. That salad contained Romaine lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, baby carrots, cilantro, a bit of Muenster cheese, sliced radishes, bacon bits, bleu cheese dressing and ground flaxseed sprinkled on top.  I can't have a salad today because I'm finally out of Romaine lettuce.  I have fresh spinach so that's an option too.

So that's all I have to report today, or at least this is all I can remember.

Ugh these 4am weigh ins!! But I only have 2 more injections to go and I can finally take my planned interruption.  Plus my lower back has been killing me all day.  I got home early and I seized the moment, I took a nap!! I slept for nearly 2 and 1/2 hours.  I feel better but my back doesn't, it still feels stiff.  Of course I have a million things to do but the nap was priority.  I got to go shopping while I was on duty because a co-worker was needed Muenster cheese.  He usually buys the loaf and splits it with me and doesn't ask for a dime.  How sweet huh?  But today, I purchased my own loaf and he still let me keep his change.  The cheese was on sale this week $1.99 per pound and that's pretty cheap.  Sadly they make you buy the whole the loaf.  I also got some mayonnaise they had on sale. Would you believe, they were completely out of the water that was on sale? Since I was able to get in and out (twice) of the store quickly, I also stopped at Big Lots, no one was there.  I wanted to purchase an outdoor resin chair so I could sit outside once in a while, and with my rewards cards, it only costs me $7.99.  They also had the Nutrisystem food on sale today for 10/$5.  I found some heat and serve vegetarian chili, cheese tortellini, and some other soups that I can use in a pinch during Phase 4.  I was going to stop at another Big Lots on my way home but decided my nap was more important.  Once I got back to work, I ate some tuna again.  Problem with the tuna was, I didn't check the ingredients when I purchased it.  I just saw it was Herb and Garlic flavor.  As soon as I put the first bite in my mouth, I immediately felt and tasted the oil.  I checked the label, sure enough, soybean oil was the 3rd listed.  Ergh.  I had a radish since I had bought some of those too (4 bunch for 99 cents).

So now I sit here debating what to eat for dinner.  I had decided early to make cabbage rolls but I will have to make a few since it would be pointless to just cook one.  Yesterday, I didn't cook my chicken like I said I was going to but I separated it, froze it, and had steak and broccoli for dinner.  I know broccoli is not allowed as well on this protocol but if I hadn't eaten it, there would have been no room in the freezer for it after I put the rest of my steaks and chicken in there. Hmmm, that reminds me, I need to figure out how I'm going to get that whole loaf of cheese into the freezer, even after I cut it down to 2 pound blocks, there's no room!!  I have 1 pound unsalted butter blocks frozen as well since I can't have any on P2.  That shall all change on Thursday!!!  I'm so excited because I can have  all that kefir I have in the fridge!! While still making more, haha!!  Alright, I'm off to the kitchen to make my dinner.
