I will be a big lazy bump on a log today, although I am at work I plan on moving as little as possible as it is taking all of my energy to hold my head up today.... lol OK I am being a bit dramatic but I felt like whining :)

How'd the week go???

Make great choices!

Yup - that drained feeling is what I was fighting Wed evening and Thursday morning.  Literally all I could do to sit on the couch with my laptop there.  I just felt "weak".

On the brighter side, I am feeling much better today....and even kept down dinner last night - whoo hoo for me.

Here's the game plan:

Nap time before work
At work:
Greek yogurt 17gm
2 cheesesticks 16gm
Steak and mashed cauliflower 21gm

I am 14+ mos out

So sorry to hear you're feeling so bad, Liz.  Take it very easy today; try to escape from work early and go home to bed.

I was up somewhat late and have had a protein bar so far.  I've seen just a pound loss on the scale, but I have to say my face looks thinner - less full and round than it did a few days ago.  What I have to keep telling myself all day every day is that I am making healthier choices, not dieting.  That lifelong diet thinking can creep back in very easily, even now, and it's deadly.

I'm still in pain and may just try a short walk - or however long I can comfortably manage.  I usually have a good grasp on how to manage pain - normally, I'll work the muscles even if they're achy but rest if it's that sciatic brand of pain.  But I've got pains that are new to me these last few months and I'm still not sure what to do with them!  If I could get a gd diagnosis, I could go talk to a physical therapist and get some exercise advice...grrr!!

have you tried a chiropractor? She has worked wonders for my lower back!
