So, I've actually been on this, what I thought would be, IMPOSSIBLE diet for almost 2 weeks with no problem!!! I've been so good, have not cheated even a bite. The yummys that run around the house have not even bothered me at all.... although yesterday Phil's ramen noodles smelled oh so good! LoL!! Usually if I'm on a "diet" and there are brownies, well thats all I can think of! But I've had no ice cream, no real chocolate, no night time snack in almost 2 weeks!!! I'm SO proud of myself! This has taught me that I really do still have some will power left inside me. So, when I'm done with RAI, and my levels are where they should be, I'll be ready to jump onto the weight watchers wagon with full force... once again!
I have been getting excited about next week. Its the end of my tunnel... almost. I still cant stop thinking about how I quit smoking. I was not TOTALLY shocked by this dx of cancer. For about 3 years I've been "joking" that I must have cancer. The whole reason I quit smoking is because it made my body hurt. My lungs burned and entire chest one day decided they HATED me smoking. So, I quit. Just like that. Ok, ok, so I do have a few when I have a drink my beer... but the next day I hate myself for it. (On a side note, I've drank once since surgery and had half a cigarette and my mind, even after several beers, could not allow cancer into my body.) Most people that smoked 15+ years dont just quit. My body made me quit. I'm very nervous to have my full body scan after my RAI on the 15th. What if there is something in my lungs? What if this thyroid cancer is only secondary to lung cancer?? Ok, I'll stop!! My thyroid cancer was contained, and did NOT spill out of the thyroid at all. I need to chill!! But as my husband once told me, if I didnt have something to worry about, I would not be happy.
Honestly that is all just a very minor thought. I'm getting very excited to have my little escape to the mental ward of the hospital... I'm sure thats what it will feel like!! I'll be surrounded by plastic left to veg all alone! It would actually sound awesome if I were at the Ocean's One Resort in Myrtle Beach... but they wouldnt let me! LoL!!
A couple LID suggestions since I havent done that in awhile. Last night I made potatoe pancakes, they are under latkes in the cookbook. I assume thats German or something? Anyway - while probably not too calorie friendly... they were SO YUMMY!! Even my family ate them up! Being from Cincinnati, we had been missing our German festivals and potato pancakes! Also, in my oatmeal this morning I put a little vanilla and cinnamon in it... of course with my splenda... it was yummy. One thing I noticed this morning I havent touched are my plain rice cakes. I got them to use as bread for pb&j... but I just cant do it! LoL!!
