Uneventful Friday -- just went to the gym, then spent the rest of the
day at home.  I'm dealing with a lot of stress today, as my mom looks
to be in pretty bad shape -- trying to figure out if I need to move up
my planned trip for next week.  Fortunately -- from the diet
perspective -- that doesn't seem to cause a big desire to overeat
(maybe a bit, but I've resisted it).

Food:

* 7:30 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices
melted f/f cheese & 10g grated romano
* 10:45 (gym, between lifting & yoga): energy bar
* 1:15 (home): 4 oz. ground turkey breast burger on whole wheat
hamburger bun w/ 3 slices f/f cheese, dill pickle slice, & catsup
* 3:00 (home): 4 chocolate-covered cashews & 4 chocolate-covered
macadamias
* 7:30 (home): 2 cups beef barley soup; 8 oz. wine
* 11:00 (home -- planned): 250g f/f Greek yogurt

Totals: 1616 (151 from alcohol), 40g fat (22%), 136g carbs (34%), 138g
protein (34%)
           
Exercise:

* 10:00: Lifting: walking lunges w/ bar on back; sumo deadlifts; leg
raises; standing hip extension; seated calv extension; hip adductor;
hip abductor

* 11:00: 75-minute yoga class, emphasis on quads

Thanks :-).  Something happened to her on Thursday -- not clear what,
but probably restricted blood flow to the brain due to heart disease
(mitral valve failure)  -- that has affected her brain dramatically.
She is pretty incoherent and has little idea who anyone is or where
she is.  She's in the hospital right now for some tests -- don't know
what will happen next.  Apparently she's relatively stable physically
-- but she does have congestive heart failure and doesn't really eat
-- she's 90 lbs. at 5'5" -- so she's pretty fragile.  And she has a
fair bit of pain due to spinal arthritis.  Life is not good for her
right now.  I think it will be a blessing if it doesn't last too much
longer.  But her decline has been very rapid since Christmas and it's
hard for my brother and me to come to terms with this idea.  Anyway --
assuming nothing happens in the interim to change this -- I will be
going down there on Wednesday.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother, Chris.  I know how stressful it is
to see our parents health decline.

Chris, I'm so sorry to hear all this.  I do hope she's not suffering
too much.  I'm thinking of you at this difficult time.

Thanks, Janice -- and also to Beverly (whose message I inadvertantly
deleted before answering).  We're just taking it a day at a time.  At
least I do feel confident that she's getting good care.
