Changes

I find myself doing things different then what I did before.  I will take pepsi one’s with me when we go places so I’m not stucking getting pop or something I shouldn’t have when i get thirsty.  When we go out to eat,  I make sure to count my points but still stop when I’m full.  I think about every bite that goes into my mouth.  Today, instead of ordering a pizza to be delivered (hubby’s idea because he didn’t want to go get my salad), I called my MIL to see if she can go get me a sandwich instead.  She’s going to BK to get me a whopper jr with cheese no mayo.  I like mayo but save 2 points by not having it.  I would have enjoyed my pizza more and 2 slices equal the whopper jr; however, I may not have stopped at 2 pieces.  Jakob told me to order half and half and he would eat his half for supper.   I would have done this gladly for Domino’s because I don’t care for their cheese pizza.  I would have to order pizza hut and I do like their cheese pizza.  I’m trying to stay on plan for more then one reason.  I feel like everything’s out of my control right now.  The one thing I can control is what I put in my mouth.  I have the piece of mind knowing that I am doing what I need to in order to lose weight.  I want to get this weight off and keep it off.  I can almost guarantee that once I get back to walking that I will lose weight just because I’ll be allowed to move.  The great thing is that I’ve seen people do things for me that I don’t think would have normally.  My SIL drives from Logansport to take me to ww meetings and has come to just feed me.  Of course, we visit which beats it all.  We all know that I love her.  My parents are helping with taking me to dr and therapy appointments.  They are also feeding me on Friday.  They don’t normally go out of their way for people including their children.  This is at least the impression that they have given us.  I’m glad that my  impression was wrong.  My son like I’ve said previously is being a trooper.  He makes sure that I stay on plan during my weak times.  Hubby also has him in charge of doing laundry.  Hubby doesn’t know how.  Hubby is a unique case.  He has been great for cooking and dishes.  He, however, doesn’t do it with even close to a smile on his face.  He grumbles and yells.  He loves me but he has a knack for making me feel worse then I already do.  There are things he won’t do just because he doesn’t feel like it.  It really sucks.  He told me it was a hassle to get me out and then wonders why I feel like an inconvenience.  If he’s ever in my shoes, he may understand more.  I’m trying to be sympathetic with him.  There are times that he’s great.   Okay, I don’t want to make this  depressing like yesterday’s entry.

I don’t know if I  blogged on my son’s wrestling.  My son just started wrestling.  He dabbled in it last year but it didn’t go anywhere after  he didn’t get to wrestle in his first meet due to no one being in his weight class.  He decided to give it another shot this year.  He did get to wrestle in the meet last Sunday.  He won first place.  My husband came home gushing about how good he did.  I didn’t get to see it but I’m proud of him as well.  Well, he gets to go to the meet this weekend in Battle Creek, Michigan.  He could have gone last year but we didn’t take him because he won by default and we didn’t want him to go up there and get embarrassed.  He’s been more gung ho this year and is really into it so we are taking him this year.  We have a hotel room reservation.  Yes, my non walking behind is going.  We have a wheelchair.  Hubby wasn’t going to take him without me.  I’ll hurt because of my foot dangling but I have pills for that and I will survive.  It’ll be nice to get away.  I’m not exactly sure I’ll be able to watch him actually wrestle due to my wheelchair and not sure how everything will be set up.  I may just have to find a place to park and take a magazine to read.  We will take the camera and take pictures.  I’m excited.  The child deserves this for helping me.  I love my son more than life.  I got asked the other day when I told someone that my son was an only child if he was hard to raise.  I thought about it for a second.  I told the person no.  He’s had his moments but he’s been far from hard.  Every child will get into trouble and test boundaries.  It’s normal and I would be worried if he didn’t get into trouble.  He does for the most part listen to us.  He’s a great kid with good manners and a huge heart.

Okay, I’m rambling.  I’m bored and I love to talk to when I’m bored.  Thank you to everyone who read the whole thing or even part.

    Good for you for taking control over what you eat! I bet you can’t wait til you can get up and move more.
    Good luck to your son with his wrestling meet this weekend. And getting first place? That is great!

    I know there is no such thing as healthy pizza unless you make it yourself, but whenever I HAVE to have pizza, I’ll either do a Lean Cuisine enter (so you know once you eat it, that’s eat) or if I am ordering for the family, I go to Pizza Hut and order from the Fit & Delicious menu. The family has adjusted to the thin crust and I just have 2 slices and a side salad. Typically, that keeps me under 500 calories for dinner since slices range from 150-170 calories each.

    Great job on your eating plan. Let us know how that wrestling meet goes. It will be fun to get out as long as you don’t wear yourself out. Be careful and take care of your health!

    Most places are w/c friendly anymore. I love that phrase “friendly”. Sometimes you have to go in another door and wind through a few halls, but w/c access has improved so much in the last few years. Your son will be so happy Mom came to watch him! Have a safe trip and enjoy as much as you can. Hubby had better straighten up or he will have all of us on him! My husband was spoiled and used to being waited on by me. I ended up spoiling him even after my spinal cord injury. But he spoiled me, too. Hugs, Marge

    Good work watching your points! I’m sure you’ll be able to stay on this plan with few problems.

    Aww you know I love you too. You have a great little boy. Well I guess I can’t call him little anymore can I. Just know your family loves you and we are all right beside you. You are there when I need you and I will be there for you.

    I read the whole thing and I enjoyed every second of it. I could really sense the pride and commitment you have for your DS, where I work, I see how horrible people can be to one another, so I find it refreshing when I hear people talk about the wonderful things their loved ones do for them. You are a very proud momma and have a reason to be. I too only have one child and that’s in big part by choice, I figured raising children is hard enough, so one is my limit–heheh!! Of course the hard part comes in not from my baby (he too is a good-mannered boy), but it comes from my desire to give him the best that I can. Congratulations for raising a good kid!!

    Now about the foot, I pray that you heal soon and kudos to you for staying OP and realizing that your food intake is indeed the ONE thing, you have total control of. During these stressful times, I need to rememeber that!!
