Tuesday

Tuesday started off great with a smoothie and then a granola bar. And then it all went dowhill. McDonald's for lunch and Whataburger for dinner. I was so sick of fast food that I barely touched the Whataburger. Last night I had terrible insomnia even after I took some sleeping medicine and I just felt like a basket of nerves. Yes, my life has been stressful lately but I am 90% sure it was due to my horrible food choices late in the day. When is it going to sink in enough that I have to eat right to feel right?

On a big positive note, my parents have started a diet! They are both very obese and have a bunch of health problems from it. Mom has lost 11 lbs. at last count and Dad 14 lbs. Dad just started Nutrisystem last week which I think it could be a really good fit for him. He's absolutely clueless about cooking or dieting so Nutrisystem takes the guessing game out of the picture. It's a fairly expensive program but he likes the taste of the food so far. Mom's thinking about going on it as well. They are both on Medicare now and their prescriptions cost them an absolute fortune so if a diet can help them take less medicine then it's worth it financially.
