Good Morning & Daily Health Report - Day 23

Yesterday was a very busy day. As such, I only had one meal yesterday after getting home from the hospital. I felt like I was half-starved, so I indulged with the Christmas treats at Writer's Guild last night. That resulted in a high sodium count. Otherwise, my numbers for yesterday are good. Writer's Guild went very well. I needed to ask a question for Vendetta, the new title for the book I've been working on. How to simulate a heart attack. Bottom line, you can't. Okay, what to do. They told me to ask a pharmacist. I think I made the pharmacist's day. He had to assure the other customers' nobody was committing murder, it was for a book. I showed him my newest book and that I was an author. What I found out is it's impossible to simulate a murder because there will be muscle damage to the heart. The same with a stroke. So, what to do. There were other options discussed at Writer's Guild, and it was one of those options I researched and found the perfect murder because it doesn't look like murder, which is what I was after. That was my day yesterday, and now for my numbers. Calories: 978 Sugar: 50 Carbs: 73.7 Protein: 45.5 Sodium: 1213 Fat: 49.9 Not knowing the information for the homemade cookie or banana bread, I used the numbers from what I could find online. So the numbers could be high. Calories burned - Swimming - 388 Total calories: 590 I went shopping this morning after swimming and am just finishing breakfast, and yes, I have bananas and potatoes once again. I went to Wal-Mart, but I still need to go to Aldi. I don't need much from there, but what I need is cheaper than Wal-Mart. How did you do for food and exercise yesterday? Thanks for reading.

You are always tracking and I am impressed! That is not easy to keep up with, as I know from personal experience. I didn't eat a lot of calories yesterday, but most of what I ate was high in sodium so that is not too helpful. I did however, eat extra salad when I really wanted seconds on my meal, so that was a triumph.

Yes, it was a triumph. Good for you. It's a lot of work and very enlightening. However, if I'm going to lose weight, I need to keep at it.

No exercise yesterday and I ate fried food and meat so mine was higher. However, my blood sugar was within the normal range this morning so I am all good. That is interesting how you asked about the murder, lol.

I needed to know. I'll be editing the book either today or tomorrow. I'm leaving in an hour to get my hair cut.

I went out to Arby's for supper last night. I hadn't been there for about a year and their menu was completely different. I went for a familiar sandwich, roast beef. That meat was an inch thick, on the bun! Your numbers are really low, good job Valerie! The perfect murder? Eat my sister's cooking for two days!

It can't be that bad, can it? I'm glad you enjoyed Arby's. Thank you. I wouldn't have needed the snacks if I would have had at least one more meal.

@kobesbuddy Oh NO! I agree, that's dangerous. It's a good thing you pray over your food.

@just4him One time my sister made a casserole for her family. Absentmindedly, she grabbed a can of what she thought was 'PAM spray,' which she used on the baking dish. The casserole tasted terribleWhen Lyna checked the cupboard, she had use BUG SPRAY, instead of Pam!

Very interesting about the book stuff--good to know. The numbers do look good, besides the sodium (for people who try to keep it low).

@MommyOfEli2013 A cursory glance at the numbers shows it is under a thousand, which is good.

Nice to hear that you are maintaining your diet plan and in control of your calorie intake, As about heart attack simulation, I think, doctor or a tech expert designing the health related equipments will be better persons to answer your query.

Excellent very low calorie count. You were thinking of having a heart attack as cover for what was really murder? That's tough if the person has no history of heart trouble. If a person has a history of heart attacks and strokes, then they can be terrorized and tormented into having a heart attack so it's murder in a fashion.

Yep, that's basically what I learned. So, the heart attack will be rewritten.
