Well, it's the weekend. So we'll see how I do on the calorie front. Weekends tend to be hard for me when it comes to eating well, especially when we have company in town. There is always the temptation to go out to eat or, like this morning, have doughnuts for breakfast. So we'll see how it pans out, but so far so good. I'm under 400 calories so far today, so if I have a light lunch I should be able to have a decent dinner and still stay under 1500 for the day. I may even be able to keep it closer to 1200-1300. That's my hope at least. We'll see how it goes.
Yesterday was good. I ended the day right around 1200 calories (sort of iffy on the exact amount since I had some punch and I have no idea what the water/juice ratio was. It tasted pretty watery, so I think it was under 100 calories for 8 oz.) and I even got a walk in. I didn't figure up how much water I had, but I'm mostly chugging cranberry juice (mixed with Sprite today because I think cranberry juice is gross!) until this bladder infection goes away. Yes, I have a bladder infection. Turns out it wasn't the dandelion tea drink that made me so uncomfortable after all. But in a few days I should be off the antibiotics and off the cranberry juice and back to drinking water, water, water.

Careful of the Sprite if it has sugar in it - I find that I have to completely eleminate all sugars except what I get with the Cranberry juice to get rid of my bladder infections. I also find that there is a product at healthfood that is like powdered cranberry essence in a capsul, and that works well for both treating infections without drinking the juice and maintaining not getting them. For me, the biggest issue is that within about 4 hours of getting bladder symptoms I get kidney infection and yeast infection. That trio combination just about kills me every time, so I've gotten this down to a science! Probably TMI, but based on experience, quick action is necessary.
I'll have to look into the cranberry capsule when the bottle of juice in my fridge is gone. The infection seems to be going away quickly, so I'm encouraged by that. I haven't been drinking too much of the Sprite, as I've had a total of 6 oz Sprite mixed with 2 oz straight up unsweetened cranberry juice with breakfast this morning. I'm still counting my calories, so too much Sprite would do more damage than desired on several fronts!
