My ’spartan’ diet is failing. I am having trouble staying disciplined for some reason! Arghghghghghg. It’s 5pm and I’ve had about 1125 calories. That in itself isn’t bad at all but I’m still hungry and craving sugar like crazy. Grrrr. And I’ve eaten salty crap today too.

Sigh. Oh well. What can you do? Here’s a pic of Sunshyne riding in the car with us this afternoon:

(And yes, that’s my hand in the photo, and yes I’m aware it looks puffy/fat. My hands and everything else for that matter always photograph tons bigger than they are, I don’t know why! )

Her face looks SO much better than it did only weeks ago. She’s been suffering from a skin/fur condition (I can’t recall the name of) and just a few weeks ago, her face had lots of pink splotches where she had lost her fur. It was so sad. :( But now her face is nearly back to normal! She naturally has white fur with splotches of black and a little pink in some areas.

Unfortunately the fur/skin condition on the rest of her body is healing a LOT slower. The vet put her on meds and they aren’t working as fast as I wish they would. I hate thinking about her suffering in any way.

Anyway… this is my last update for the day. I really hope my appetite can calm down and my sugar cravings will go away. I think I’m going to go guzzle two full cups of water and see if that helps. I am planning to head back to my sister’s in another couple hours, then to a meeting. I will refuse offers to go out and eat after the meeting. Well either that or just go out and have a salad like the other time. We’ll see…

I forgot to mention that last night, I stopped at a pharmacy and took my blood pressure. I’d taken one of my anxiety/BP meds about 7 hours prior to the test. And the results were…

126/77.

That is GREAT for me. I am so looking forward to when the numbers are even lower. My goal BP is somewhere around 110/70 without meds. Shoot, 120/80 is good enough for me though, since that’s ‘normal’. I’ll get there, especially if I keep up the exercise and weight loss and healthy, positive thoughts.

I was too tired tonight to go and take my BP, I’ll do it tomorrow if I have a chance. Tomorrow I have a really busy day planned!

Anyway, here are some updated pics of my sister’s sweet (big) little angel:

Her skin condition is FINALLY healing!

Here’s a pic from just a few weeks ago:

Isn’t it hard to believe she once looked like this?

and this?

Anyway, I’m so tired right now that I’m about to keel over. I’ll try and update tomorrow at some point.
