Woke up at 3am, again. I guess it's not surprising since I fell asleep around 8 or so. Cats and Bobby are still driving me crazy at night. Especially the cats. I locked them in my master bedroom after feeding them around 5 pm. Then I felt it was too early so I opened the door around 7pm. Fritzy followed me and Bobby to the guest room. By 3am, all three cats were laying next to me or on me waiting for breakfast.

Going for the knee MRI later this morning- dreading it. Then taking Bobby to the groomer at 1pm.

Watching carbs, keeping them below 100 grams is getting tougher. I know for many people on this site that is not low carb but it is in general and certainly for me. About a week ago I found the last bottle of cranberry juice in the garage refrigerator and it's almost impossible to fit in even a 4 ounce glass. I had 2 mugs of coffee this morning and forgot to measure the sugar for the first cup. Since I liked it so much better than I have recently I guessed there was an extra teaspoon. I also baked half of an 8 ounce potato in the toaster oven after cutting it in quarters. Brushed butter on each quarter. So at least I'm not hungry. I've posted milk and string cheese as snacks for later in the day, but have no idea what I will eat later today.

Happy again this week to have met my 1 pound minimum loss. 6.8 pounds so far this month, very unusual for me. Working on keeping carbs below 100 grams is really keeping me on track. I am actually able to resist foods that I usually can't keep in the house. I still have half a box of saltines that I left alone. Bread is my biggest weakness. I bought a loaf of Schwarzwalder rye bread (dark brown)that was on sale. I love it as toast. I remember when I first started logging my food on FS, 2017 or 2018, I had 4 or 5 slices of toast once because I couldn't resist it. Yesterday I had one slice and the loaf is back in the freezer!

Yesterday I entered today's food plan and will update as needed. When I got up this morning I wanted a cup of coffee instead of the warm milk I had planned. Will make scrambled eggs with green onions and mushrooms and a tablespoon or 2 of shredded cheddar cheese. Will make chicken breast using breadcrumbs, trying to follow SherryeB's (not sure of name exactly) directions. Bought some more panko breadcrumbs and saw there are also parmesan flavored - maybe next time. I have blackberries and pineapple spears I need to finish. Trying to increase calories a little. I can keep calories low to lose weight but know I won't be able to do it forever. It's easy to increase calories when using olive to cook in 2 meals! Want to saute the onions and mushrooms before adding to eggs. I have an olive oil spritzer I use just to scramble eggs.

Walked Bobby yesterday. Didn't drive to a level area, just walked from my house. There were some minor inclines and declines. Walked 30 minutes, pretty slow. The knee ached just a little. It rained on and off most of the day at times really heavy. So I managed to walk when it briefly stopped raining. Same weather today and tomorrow.

It's only 11am and I've been busy so haven't had anything to eat or drink yet except water. I'm waiting on a nice couch for my car to be serviced. Then I'll be done for the day. Saw the orthopedist this morning. Really liked him and how the office was run. Was in and out in about 20 minutes! He examined my knee and told me the X-Ray showed arthritis. Also told me it's fine for me to walk even if it hurts unless the walking makes the pain bad. Said to find a flat place to walk, even if I have to drive someplace. My neighborhood has so many hills but I know where the flat areas are. He also said to go ahead with the MRI next week my primary doctor ordered just in case it is a meniscus tear.

I went to a grocery store near the doctor's office and then since I had time before going to the automotive place I stopped at the little grocery store near my home for Panko bread crumbs, applesauce, taco shells and a small new jar of mayo. I guess tacos are in my future. I have a really hard time swallowing pills and taking them with applesauce helps so I usually log 2 tablespoons most days with certain pills. Crossing my fingers for at least a 1 pound loss when I weigh on Sunday. I've been careful since my lunch at Red Robin Tuesday with a burger, fries and regular coke.

I went to WinCo the other day before meeting my friend at Red Robin. The plan was to spend $80, but it ended up at $130. For those who don't have Winco's, you have to bag your own groceries and they have all well known brands as well as generic. A huge bulk food area, with every candy you can think of, plus grains, nuts, seeds, even dog biscuits. I bought chopped nuts. Also bought a case of diet Pepsi and 12 pack of diet 7up. I shouldn't be drinking them but get so bored with water. Drinking one can a day currently, will try to go 1 can every other day and eventually just one or 2 a week. An impulse buy was Tyson breaded chicken patties. I may have had them 15 years ago or more. But only 10 carb grams and 9 grams of protein. Didn't buy any food I shouldn't, ignored the bakery department (love ciabatta rolls) and the cheddar caramel corn mix.

Working on staying below 100 carb grams, would rather be closer to 80 and eventually 60. I can see that will mean less processed food. I am thinking I will drop off some canned foods, high in sugar at the food bank when I go into town tomorrow for my appointment with the orthopedist.

Thought I would have mocha this morning (thank you Buenita) by adding a tablespoon of Ghirardelli hot cocoa mix to my mug of coffee. But it needed 2 tablespoons. I will have to have the hot chocolate very rarely, like days I have liquids only. Founds some k cups of dark chocolate cocoa, I think they are 60 calories.

Trying to figure out how to make something taste better. I mixed a can of albacore tuna with chopped nuts and smashed up avocado to avoid mayo. But was pretty bland. I bought a can of chopped black olives I will try to add, and maybe slice up a hard boiled egg. The chopped olives are good, like a spread, I have used on veggie sandwiches before. Any suggestions? I don't like spicy.
