Happy Friday!!! Today is a crappy day for me, I feel uuuuughhhhhh. Didnt even get on the scale this am. I hope all of you guys enjoy your day! Aliya

B - oatmeal (I'm telling you it really does a good job keeping the plumbing working) S - protein drink L - bad bad bad - I had McDonalds (just count stand the thought of more tunafish) so I had a dbl cheeseburger no bun, apple dippers, and I've got a large tea to nurse on now. S - nuts D - Well dh is coming home so we'll be making home made pizza. I make it with white crust, but it's super thin crust with no big crust edge like regular pizza. S - protein drink - I've noticed some hair coming out again so I'm going back to two protein drinks per day. water - perhaps I'm not doing well in this department. Today I feeling quite poor. Lightheaded, shaky, eyes are fighting to focus. I think this is not enough water. vits - I'm on it Exercise - I'm thinking about it, but that's about it.

How is everyone doing?

Happy Day, everyone. Well, I'm not happy but I'll wish everyone else a happy day. LOL! Hopefully things will be getting better for me soon. Got some more information and things clarified. I understand things more which is good and that cuts back on having my mind race about all the "whys, whats, and hows". I know I'm talking vague here but that's all it'll be. I reached out last night and called my therapist. Hopefully I'll hear from her today. Been a couple of years but it is always nice to touch base and get caught up and use her as a sounding board for things. Knowing she is a phone call away gives me such great comfort. Today is the 3rd morning I've skipped the gym. My back/leg had been giving me grief for a while (I see my back surgeon on the 30th). Yesterday was more a lack of sleep from the night before and today was just an "I don't care" attitude. I will go tomorrow when I can take my time and put in a full workout. I weighed in at 162.5 today. Up a pound from yesterday... I could tell while laying in bed... my wedding rings weren't flopping around... can you say salt and probably not enough water yesterday? But it's 4 lbs down from last Friday (I weigh-in officially - on my records on Fridays - probably since my surgery was on a Friday and since it is before a weekend... yada yada yada). I had gone up higher than last Friday too. Damn reaction to those Power Crunch bars. Wonder what it is. 10 grams of carbs, 5 sugars. Obvioulsy the flour in them (to make the wafer) or the sugar... caused a crazy reaction to the tune of a 7.5 lbs gain in 2-3 weeks. I hate my body sometimes. I'm still up 2.5 lbs from a month ago and I had been down to 158 for a few fleeting days. Ah life... On a side note, think I might see the endo. Way too many hairs on the shower floor this morning. Hadn't seen that since the post-op shedding of last August/September. Wonder if my thyroid is funky. Though... could be stress... Enough ramblin'... Have a great day, Kathy

Karen, congratulations! That's fantastic news for you. Enjoy your new job and shorter commute! Wanda
