According to today's weight, I am back to my weight from before. We'll see how it goes on Monday's weigh in.
To celebrate, put Binky's plaid sweater on her and took her to the doggie park again. I counted it as walking 20 minutes as I did sit down for awhile.
SO: met calorie goal.
15 minutes light stretching.
45 minutes doggie park with Binky.
Hope to be back on my bike by this weekend.
Onward, friends.

Thanks for your kind words! Mbd121, usually the dietitian immediately talks to me (she handed it to me yesterday) when there is a problem. I will mention it to my nephrologist when she comes in. peeperjj, it's the doctor that took me off of the meds (TUMS) and the dietitian that was pushing a prescription binder. I'm just listening to my doctor, as most dialysis patients do have to take a binder. Honestly? I'm appalled to listen to so many patients that don't measure their daily potassium and phosphorus in their foods. I CAN eat no-no foods because I keep it SO under my daily limit and practice portion control (like nuts-actually suggested by my dietitian as a protein source, but strictly measured).

gsn fan, mac and cheese is a total portion control buster and it is ridiculous. It is a total comfort thing that brings me to a chaotic, happy time in my life...POOR, college student, 2-3 jobs, tons of friends and boyfriends. The other food is guacamole...almost always homemade...a family thing...love the taste and texture and it just is a super comfort food. Haven't touched either since starting dialysis...just not sure I can handle it. I can usually do okay with portion control. Okra is the bomb. It was one food my mother couldn't stand, so I had to go out to eat to have it!
