We have to have labs this week for next week. So I went to Kaiser for the labs and the gal at the desk asks if I am fasting. No....because they didn't mention we should fast...how do we do all our meals on time if we are fasting and don't get to the lab first thing in the morning?
Well, it turns out that the lab tech said I only had one draw to be done and it didn't require fasting....so good thing I had decided to do it today and that way I found out, otherwise I would have to go back again tomorrow.
So far I haven't been hungry at all, although I have started to notice the smell of food yesterday was really obvious. Today, I looked in my purse when I was at Kaiser and saw I had cash. Right away I thought, oh, good, I can get a whooper on my way home.......NOT. Interesting that it was just the sight of the cash that brought it on. I wasn't hungry.
The other thing was that I figured I was a martyr and I deserved to get something, food related, of course.
So, the good thing is that I avoided those calories! And, I wasn't even hungry.I have noticed a continuing higher energy level, but my arthritis is acting up and I have some aches from falling in the puddle yesterday so I can't do all I would like to. I did do a bit of weeding and cleaned out a couple more cabinets.
I walked this morning so I have over my 10,924 steps and it is only 6 pm. I had my last shake and my snack tonight at 8pm will be my chicken soup. I put it last today, but I really like it so much I think I will have it at 6pm from now on.
Next week I will have tomato soup instead.
