Hi everyone,
The internet was down at Derek's parents' house for a few days and my phone doesn't support Blogger for some reason. Thus: I am going to post now.
Goal 1/ Weightloss: I have been well within my calorie limits. Most people around me have been indulging in LOTS of holiday cookies, chocolates, candy, etc. I haven't been strong enough to have zero junk, but I have for instance one half of one cookie instead of eight cookies like I would if I wasn't thinking. And I only have one of these very small treat allowances per day.
Goal 2/ Pain Management: This has been an interesting situation. My pain has been severe for the past few days and I have been stuck in bed. When we went to see the Hobbit I decided that I did want to go and took my vicodin, because that is the only one that works. I was told not to take vicodin regularly because it makes IBS worse. I have been calling my doctors' office to ask for a good pain medication that will not make my IBS worse. They wound up calling me back and recommending I stay with vicodin for now but take lots and lots of laxatives. So... that's the very tenative plan...
Goal 3/ Job: Looking at the job listings and working on what should change on my resume due to my last job
Goal 4/ Exercise: Nothing :( I have been in a lot of pain and it is too rainy and frigid to go for a walk. I tried some sit ups but that was too painful because of my irritated intestines. I am really looking forward to getting back to my gym!
Goal 5/ AIDS ride: Also nothing, except continuing to pursue a pain management strategy and trying to figure out what I have.
Yep... thats all for now. I wish I had something more positive to report but I have been feeling extremely lousy.
Some days/Weeks just suck. Keep writing. It will keep you honest.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Liz! I hope you are having a better weekend. Have your doctors recommended any kind of a specific diet? How is your cooking coming along? I was wondering if I could help you with recipe suggestions. I'm sure it will feel good to be home again. It's hard to stay on track when you are not in your own home. Believe me, I know about that!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! Yeah I am supposed to go on an elimination diet but I am going to start when I get back home. Otherwise I would have to cook all my food myself here and eat separately from everyone and that seems awkward... For now (the part that I am following currently), I can't eat soy products, citrus, most fruits, chocolate, alcohol, carbonated anything, beans of any kind, broccoli, tomatoes, or onions. That was already a lot to start! I am supposed to be getting rid of gluten and dairy and all sugars as well. Good times.....
