Thirsty Thursday

What's everyone drinking today? I had a small coffee and now it's on to Lemon Water. Lots and lots of lemon water.

The morning vitamins are in. The first series of home based PT for the knee has been taken care of. 10 minutes of walking at lunch time is planned after stretching the old achy joints. It doesn't seem like a lot but it's making a difference. More than that and it seems to want to give out on me (not to mention start swelling) but this is up from 5 minutes.

Started the day with a doozie of a panic attack. Yeah! Thank God for Xanax and self talk therapy that I learned years ago. Guess it's time to drag out the gratitude journal again and refocus some of this mess that's swirling around in my brain. Stress does crazy things to our bodies and has to find an outlet.

Food is planned for the day. It's the little things that I can control that have the biggest rewards.

Yall have a great day!

Good morning BOTTs.

Yay for Xanax, Iris.  Sorry you had a panic attack.  I can work myself into one so easily, it's ridiculous.

Okay....today is a new day.  Trying to kiss this depression funk a swift goodbye because it's been her long enough already.

I have been taking my medications daily but for no reason at all, I haven't been taking my vits and calcium.  Every now and then, I seem to go on strike.  (Stupid beyond belief, maybe it's part of my depression funk/self sabotage) But for whatever non-reason it is, I will address it now and put my little pills on my desk in front of me and take them throughout the day.   It sounds so childish to have to do self talk like this...haha...my apologies if you are still reading!!!!

Breakfast:  hard boiled eggs

I am not prepared for the rest of the day so I will have to wing it, however, I will make the best choices available. 

Exercise:  going to run up and down the stairs today to get the heart pumping on my breaks away from my desk.  A few endorphins should kick in and help me to straighten out this brain.

Water...going surprisingly well today! 

Have a nice day, y'all.

Good day.. It is Friday for me today.. I am going to a weekend long herbal conference and will get overload on info.  i have been going to that one yearley for close to 15 years now. Missed last 2 years... but I am looking forward to this one..  The only issue is that it is rather expensive.. but I paid the conference fee a few months ago.. the lodging fee will be 250..and I will take 250 with me and try o limit my shopping spree to only that amount. Wish me luck.. 

I am going to learn new good things .. the problem is to implement them after... 

They will feed us (included in 250 lodging fee) but some of the food they serve is really bad.. so I need to make sure I have enough protein snacks to survive. 

The conference starts on Friday afternoon, and lasts until Monday afternoon.. Brain overload.. ButI will be walking a lot, and learning a lot of good stuff. 

today trying to do some work for for next 3 days.. but my heart is not in it.. ugh.. 

I found new vegan protein shake ( no dairy, soy or gluten)  that I think I will be able  to drink..  

One that it is drinkable is Vega protein shakes, the other is About Time Vegan line. 

I may even be able to get blood work proteins up... (they were too low) 

Today: 

coffee+ miralax + more coffee

protein shake

protein shake

cucumber salad with hard boiled eggs as proteins. 

pork skins (microwavable) 

dinner: not sure but will find something I can eat - fish and veggies? 

exercise:need to clean the house.. 

I drink one individual packet of Crystal Light in 64 oz. of water and 2/3 of a pot of coffee with sf syrup and skim milk.  Perfect weather in Wisconsin so I worked in the garden today for exercise.  Have a great day!  Tri
