It has been 128 days since I started my Daily Food Diary. In 128 days, I have missed zero daily entries, or posts on Jetpack (WordPress). π
People do not succeed in reaching goals, or in life, by hiding behind excuses. That is one of life’s basic truths.
That being said, yesterday’s diet goals were a complete miss. While excuses cannot turn my results into a win, I do have a few to share. π
* Starting my morning with a medical appointment – a less than stellar one that resulted in three prescriptions (one that may be a permanent addition to my daily routine), a requisition for a chest x-ray and an appointment for a check up in two weeks. βοΈ
* Having taken my first dose of the antibiotic I received, I was hit by some bizarre side effects. I felt like I had been punched between my eyes and felt dizzy. π₯΄
* Since I felt rather off, I passed on my daily aerobics and walk. That meant I had zero calories to subtract from the calories that I consumed. π
* We took Molly to the vet for a tic treatment and to get one of her ears checked out.Β While there the vet did her upcoming annual checkup, identified a fungal ear infection and prescribed medication, and provided her with a tic prevention as well as one for worms.Β Molly came away with a clean bill of health and kudos for being such a big, beautiful, happy, friendly, calm girl.Β I came away with a $442.00 bill.Β π

* And finally, we got home and I received the sundress I had ordered. Size Small. AND.. It fits perfectly! π πππ
So there you have it, a few hits, a celebration, and a miss on my daily diet goals. I am not terribly upset. I, am delusional enough to think days like this help to keep my body from going into starvation mode. (That will never happen. π)

Amazing how the dog comes out with a better report than you do! Not that I would want Molly to not have a clean bill of health but just saying. Sigh!

Thank you, Mags. Molly will get a hug. The kids – maybe not. We can handle these bills, it’s the dental surgery that kills us. Luckily Molly is good there so far.

Vet bills have never been cheap, but they have a LOT of expenses to cover and we do what we have to do for our pets.

That insurance is ridiculous. I’d rather put money into my savings account every month, then it’s there if she even needs a pricey fix.
