Well Don't That Beat All

Again, I had every intention of having a good day, but alas... I didn't get to sleep until around 4:30 or 5 a.m. So, I didn't make it to the gym or do much else I had planned to today.

I did eat well -- for the first two meals. Then I went to the doctor and had an x-ray which also kept me from getting to the gym.

Guess what. I've got a kidney stone that appears to me (through the x-ray) to be about as big as the end of my little finger. YEOUCH.

I've got to go in Monday morning for an IVP test to make sure that kidney is working properly. Fun, fun. Since I've got to have an IVP and possible lithotripsy which means I can't eat after 2 p.m. Sunday, and only liquids until midnight.

Sunday is out for the "free day", and Saturday is a "work day" at the church so it won't be all that "free".

We had decided to take the kids to Cici's Pizza tonight to celebrate new belts (in Tae Kwon Do), so I chose to just have fun and eat whatever I wanted tonight and take Saturday as a regular 1600 calorie day.

With that said, here's what I ate:
Breakfast: 180
Smoothie -- 180
Banana 1/2 55
Blueberries 1/4 C 44
Figs 3 63
Plain yogurt 2 T 18

Lunch: 290
Tuna Sandwich -- 150
Tuna salad 73
Zucchini 5 pieces 10
Red Pepper pieces 2
Whole wheat bread 1 slice 65
Tortilla chips (~9 chips) 140

TOTAL so far: 470

Sweet! I had plenty of room for more food.

So, at dinner, I had way more than I should have. I think it was seven slices of pizza with various toppings, 4 cinnamon rolls (I know, I know) and 2 small brownies.

At least I drank water right?

Anyway, that was my free day. Tomorrow is quite a different story as I'll be working outside in that awful heat from about 9 a.m. to around 1 p.m.

The nice thing about this whole kidney stone thing is that at least I'm not crazy, and I truly have a reason for being in this much pain. But, the whole process frustrates me. I wish these kidney stones would just go away.
