5/4- Great Day, 5/5 okay day
Today was just a great day. I went into work and everything pretty much went well. I'm a bit worried that I might have said the wrong thing to the new boss (or temporary boss). She asked me what I had been doing with Tiffany and I told her. She asked if I had a logon for the computer and I said no, that Tiffany logged me in. That's something that they had been doing since almost the beginning. The other boss knew about it and allowed it, and so did Joann. I would like to get my own login, but they haven't granted my request yet since I'm just a volunteer. Anyway, Tiffany is going to be having a performance review on Monday to see how many tasks she has been able to get out of her pool, so I was glad to help her sort it all out. I think I forgot a step, but it shouldn't be a big deal. I helped her get like 20 things out of her pool (which has like 200 things in it) so it was good that I helped.
I'm keeping this short since I'm doing this on Saturday (but writing like it was yesterday) because yesterday night I was on Skype with a friend for hours and hours just talking about all this random stuff. She's a good friend of mine that I met online when I was in the cult. She's still in it, but it's different where she is. It's not as culty. Some places the cult is more hard core than others. I was in one of the worst sections of it.
Food was good... I was in my calorie range and everything. I've been working hard to stay in it... the weight loss challenge I'm doing this week is to be in your calorie range and log all your food. I had tortilla chips with guacamole for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch, a fiber bar for a snack and chicken soup for dinner. I wasn't feeling that great with my stomach today, but I was able to keep down some really yummy homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner. I just felt really good today, despite all the pain.
5/5/12- Happy Cinco De Mayo!
I wanted to have a beer today to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, but I didn't want to risk it. My stomach has been acting up, I don't even drink beer 99% of the time, but it's a Mexican thing. I'm still in the pain from yesterday. Last night was horrible.... I was in pain with the whole back of my body. My back, my shoulders, the backs of my legs and calves. I tried taking a Vicodin, but that didn't really help either. I was up from 2:30 am to about 6;30 am with the pain. I had to take a bunch of klonopin and I took a warm bath with the last bit of my epsom salts. I did the klonopin after the bath so I didn't fall asleep in the bath, of course. I don't know what caused the pain. It seems to be totally random. I'm on the heating pad still now (and again on Skype with my friend). I just hope it goes away tomorrow so I can go grocery shopping with Geo. His gout is still acting up, so he can't walk around the stores. I have to be the one to, and I'm not feeling that great. Oh well, we will see what I can do.
Food today was good for the most part... I'm actually on the high end of my calories since Geo made meatloaf for dinner tonight and I made the bacon ranch pasta salad I like. I weighed in today at 215.5 pounds. I gained half a pound overall this week, but considering I was 218 earlier this week I have to be happy about it. My next goal is 207.5. I don't know what I'm going to get myself, but it's my next goal. I think my body is normalizing after me starving myself for a bit... hopefully I can get back to normal soon.
Mood today was okay... I'm going to post this with the journal I did from yesterday, but I'm going to put the mood as great because I did feel great yesterday. Today I've been more of depressed, but that's because I slept all day and was in pain. I slept until 3pm because of the crappy sleep I got last night. I didn't exercise today because of the pain. I just stayed around the house. I took another bath earlier before I got on the computer and I might take another one. It just feels so good to be in the warm water with my sore muscles. I have the heating pad, but it's not the same. I just hope I sleep tonight, and wake up tomorrow in less pain.
