Today was a very hectic day. We had graduation and my para has been out sick and it's the last week of school and I'm losing my mind. I didn't eat for 8 hours between lunch and dinner because of graduation and WW Meeting afterward. Does anyone else agree that 8 hours is a long time to go without eating? Does anyone else get shaky hands and feeling like they're going to pass out? That's how I felt and I could have killed DH for telling me that's not a long time to go without eating. He told me the dog needs his toys and I'm like, "I need to make food first because I haven't eaten since 11:30am and it's 7pm, " and he's like, "that's not very long." Could. have. killed. him.
Anyway! We went to Sequim for the weekend. It's a little town out on the peninsula. We stayed on a quiet little lake and I really had a great time with the in-laws. We were originally there for DH's uncle's funeral. We'd never seen a military funeral before and it was really nice. Then we spent time at a reception nearby, where I avoided chocolate cake, Doritos and baked beans with bacon and cheese. I had one piece of sliced ham and some fruit. Needless to say, I was starving after that and asked DH to take me to Subway. hehe I saved all my flex points for Sunday's breakfast at the Oak Table Cafe, which is famous for its apple pancakes. Soooo amazing.
Our 2 year old nephew and probably 9 month old neice were also on this vacation, which equals screaming in the middle of the night for two nights. I have decided I am not ready for kids yet. Not at all. Nope, no kids for me!!! My parents would have a coronary if they read this. My sister and only other sibling has already stated that she will never have kids.
At WI today I lost 1.6 pounds and it feels so good. Now to plan for another busy weekend with 3 food-ridden events taking place. I hope all of you are doing well!

Great job at the reception. And the WI!
Yes, that's a long time to not eat. I eat every 3 hours or so. Sometimes every 2.
And as far as kids go... when they are your own, it's a little different. BUT... I completely understand your decision. :-)
To keep your blood sugar levels stable, you probably shouldn't go more than 3 hours without eating a little something. I seldom go more than 3 hours myself.
Well done on avoiding Doritos! They are my kryptonite, I have no idea why I love them so insanely.
Nah, the nitrus makes me wanna barf. Its bad enuf that I woke up at 4am this morning feeling nauseated from the novacaine!!! Some people love the nitrus; not me. Maybe its also because I've witnessed both of my daughters on nitrus and coming off it it....?? Scary stuff.
LOL that you had a weekend full of little guys and you've decided you are not ready for kids. I'm telling you, unless its your own flesh and blood, its not easy to put up with tiny people! Others peoples kids drive me nuts....ok, wait, my kids drive me nuts, too. LOL
Ok, good its not just me that has a crazy June! Hope we all get through it!!!!
Congrats on your wt loss this week! Keep up the great efforts.
That IS a very long time to go without eating and those "symptoms" were all normal low blood sugar reactions. HUGS!! Pffffft men! At least you had a great weekend away. You guys have your whole life to add a family, don't rush now!
Congratulations on your loss! Also good for you on steering clear of those tempting foods at the reception!
Regarding no food for 8 hours...Heck ya that's a long time!!! Here's my take on it...now that we're eating smaller portions at multiple intervals, our bodies need food more often or our blood sugar and sodium drops just like it did for you...the same thing happens to me (shaky hands, light headed and I get a headache~actually just happened yesterday). Now I know when I was heavy and eating a ton all the time, my body had enough "reserves" where I could go a LOT longer without eating before those signs would kick in.
So keep doing what you're doing and watch that scale go down
Congrats on the weight loss this week! This is (previously) holahanson, I haven't been on here in forever so I decided to make a new account and start fresh =) Eight hours is definitely a long time to go without eating... With me I just become non-hungry.. it's weird, for a while I am STARVING but after that it goes away completely and I don't feel like eating at all.. which isn't good either! My best friend will get really shaky and feel like she's going to pass out if she doesn't eat every couple of hours though. :/
