Morning

This insomnia is really a PITA.  Been wide awake since 1 and have to leave the house by 6:45 this morning so I don't see any more sleep in my near future.

Today begins a 3 day tournament for me.  Cumulative score so I need to keep my head about me. 

Tonight I plan on 2 sleeping pills and an early night.

STEPS - 6674

EATS

Right now - skim milk and a GoodFoods chicken salad with almonds and cranberry

B - 2 large mugs of coffee

    Premier protein shake

S on course - 1 oz hard parmesan cheese

                     1 small plum

L - cobb salad no dressing

D - Hot Italian sausage on a bun with mustard and pickles

     1.5 cups of kale salad - maybe

Good morning everyone.  Barb I'm sorry that the insomnia bug is back.  Here's hoping that you get a good night's sleep tonight, and that you do well in the tournament.  Was it this time last year that you played a 3 day tournament with an injured foot?

This morning I go for a 1 hour foot massage.  This is one of the gifts that I gave myself for my 1 year surgaversary.  Later DH and I are going on a short day trip to Stratford and then tonight to see a movie.

Have a great day everyone.

Which movie are you seeing CC?

Wow you have a good memory.  You are exactly right.  I forgot about the foot - broke a few toes as I recall.

I was terrible today - but going to get a good nights sleep with some drugs and come back guns blazing tomorrow.

Have fun at Stratford - great spot

Have you heard of low magnisium leading to insomnia. I had mine identified as low so I read up on magnisium. Basically no horrible side effects other than insomnia. It may be worth trying some. It can lead to loose stools according to my Dr. Anyway I thought it might be worth suggesting.

I had an interesting read on WebMD re. magnesium just now. My doctor mentioned adding magnesium to my regimen could possibly help with the debilitating foot/shin cramps I get and it is indicated in people with liver issues (me) as well - though at the time I thought, "Ugh - another pill to choke down?!" lol

I was careful to read through the possible drug interactions as well and one of the meds I take for my liver may (or may not, I'll have to consult with my doctor of course) have a negative interaction with it. 

Are you taking magnesium?

Good morning everyone!  Back from my vacation and it was fantastic! I allowed myself a few non-plan items but overall did very well, made sure to get my protein, vitamins, and water in every day.  Also swam for the first time since surgery, it was so much easier to get in and out of the pool this year, and I was able to play for a few hours at the beach no problem. Back to reality now, and I have to say I sort of missed posting here.

How has everyone been doing?  Birdiegirl sorry to hear about your insomnia, especially difficult when you are so active during the day, I hope that gets better soon.  CC your foot massage sounds awesome, enjoy!

Going to take it easy today, my first day back home and still unpacking.  Might hit the farmers market later, see if I can buy a couple of local peaches. omg local peaches are the best.

Was thinking of you yesterday and hoping you were having a great vacation! So glad to hear you had such a good time. Welcome home :)

Thanks Karen, hope your vacation was really nice too :0)

My staycation was nothing short of awesome, thanks! I can't think of another vacation ever where I have gone back to work so completely rested, relaxed and ready to go hard again. :)
