Down Today

Today I was mostly down. I didn't have the energy to go into work. Walking the 1/3 mile to the office to drop off rent was almost impossible. I tried going to the gym, too, since I was there and that was a fail. I got a couple of pushes on the arm and leg machines and gave up. I just didn't have the strength in me to keep it up. I even put the leg weights on less than I normally do and that was still too much. It didn't help that there were mosquitoes in the gym, so I didn't want to stay in there longer than I had to. I hate when the mosquitoes come out... they are never ending here in Miami. They love the gym for the small space, people and sweat. It's the perfect combination for them to come in and feed. They can't breed in there, but there's a hot tub outside where they can since it doesn't work. I got a few bites being in the gym for less than 10 minutes. That's like a bite every 3 minutes. The longer you stay, the more you get. It just sucks. Literally.
Other than that, I was in bed most of the day. I did get on the computer some, but I was mostly exhausted and just lay there trying to sleep. I keep getting the hiccups which piss me off. I hate getting the hiccups. I try to change my breathing to get rid of them but that's not working now. This is like the third time today that I've gotten them. It's almost enough to make me curse. Changing my breathing isn't working, drinking water funny ways doesn't work, I'm alone in a room and don't want to be scared, I don't know what to do. I'm typing slowly, and I think it's gone. I think I was typing about my hiccups for 10 minutes. I just don't have energy for anything.
Food today was okay. I was below on my calories, but considering I didn't do anything today that's not such a bad thing. I'm supposed to weigh tomorrow if I remember (my memory is shot when I'm depressed) so I will let you know if I remember how things go. I had some toast and Nutella for breakfast, ramen for lunch, and a pork chop with mashed potatoes and gravy for dinner. Mood today was horrible. Sleep was okay if I could just get more.

Awwwwww Larissa it sounds like you are struggling so much right now. I hope you can talk to your doc about the meds and the rash too that you are getting from one of them...that is scary. I hate meds too theysuch a pain but to go without them is hard too. I wish they could just find the right combination to help. Hugggggzzzz

I hope today is a better energy day for you. Bummer to feel so dragged out and exhausted all day.
Great that you continue to keep an eye on your food intake and hope you get a good number when you weigh.
