Doctor's visit
Today I went to see my general doctor. It went okay... he says that the morning diarrhea might be from the Depakote still. If it doesn't get better by the time I'm done tapering it, to give him a call and he will refer me to a gastroenterologist. It's just odd that it happens only in the morning. He suggested I use fiber, so I picked some up at Target while getting my meds. While I was waiting, I looked for my FitBit, which they didn't have. It was a totally wasted trip other than for meds. I was supposed to get new workout clothes, but the ones they had there didn't fit! It's a real eye opener that I've gained so much that I'm in 3XL again. I have to either fix my workout pants (sew a patch on them) or order larger ones from a site. I think I'm just going to patch them... I don't plan on being this large for long. I'm thinking of starting to calorie cycle. This would mean one day I eat about 1,000 calories and then the next day my normal 1,700. It's just hard to do, but I'm going to try. There's no harm in trying.
Besides being tired, today was a good day. Geo and I were laughing together at the doctor and on our date. We just had a fun time. it's nice when we can laugh together despite pain. My back was hurting and so was his. But we managed to get over the pain and have fun. I ate too much on our date (we went to a buffet) but stayed in my calorie range. I know I'm going to show a gain tomorrow, but that's from the MSG in the food. I have to go for a walk tomorrow... I'm 13 minutes away from having 500 fitness minutes for the month. I can go for my normal walk and surpass that. Then on the 3rd I can order my FitBit and it will track my minutes for me. yay!

glad you enjoyed your date and your boyfriend! i want to get a pedometer so i can see how much or how little i walk, they say it should be 5000 steps, have a feeling its not even close, even with a walk to the park.
would love to just have my teeth wired shut, they do it with caps, just like braces, you can talk and drink but you can\'t really eat. that would do it. lol. xxoo
I did the calorie cycling but I called it zig zag calories and loved it. It was to total you calories allotment for 7 days then do more or less each day as you stated but do not go over your weekly total. So one day I would eat 1600 then 1400, then 1400, then 1800....great for a meal out!
