For a girl who is pretty bright, I can be pretty dumb!
Let me explain:
I have been having an issue with sciatica since last Friday. On Monday I went to the chiropractor and as I walked out of that office, I felt so much better! Then I got into my car and drove the half hour home and realized I was in pain again! My damn car is not comfortable. I think I need one of those little pillows for my lower back.
So by Tuesday the pain was worse than ever and I got maybe 2 hours of sleep that night. There was just no comfortable position to be in and any time I moved, the pain just got stabbingly excruciating!(ok, so I know stabbingly isn't really a word but I like it)
I was a miserable bitch all day yesterday and mad at the world.
So last night I get the bright idea of taking a mild percocet I had left from my recent surgery and a 4 oz. glass of Cabernet.
Cabernet?! I freaking just got back into ketosis mode from Sunday's feast! Ack!
Pain apparently makes me stupid because I had been doing very well this week so far.
Ok, so I did sleep much better and feel like a human again, despite the continued pain. I will try and be nicer to my fiance because he didn't really appreciate how lovely I was to be around yesterday.
I have to watch my moodiness really. I used to have almost no temper and be very happy-go-lucky and now I am annoyed all the time and have a short fuse. I know it's partly being 48 and menopausal, but really I need to stop the bitching or at least do it silently!
The dieting doesn't make it easier because it is a constant battle and when I blow it I get mad at myself and who can I take that out on-the fiance apparently.
While I know 4 oz. of wine will not totally blow the diet and I have until Monday's weigh-in to make up for it, I should not have done it anyway.
I am realizing this is a long battle I must wage in my efforts to get thinner.
I should be exercising but right now just getting up and walking is an effort. I am doing all sorts of stretches to alleviate the pain so hopefully it will get better over the next few days.
Pain or not, I have to stick to this diet! Because if I do, I will look fabulous on May 29th!

So it sounds like a rough few days. Hope you're feeling better. I know you're gonna do great. How much $$ would you say you've spent in 2 weeks time? Also, how are you getting along with the food, and how is it getting along with you? any strong likes/dislikes so far?
ReplyDeleteLast night the DR from Ideal Protein called me at 8:30. WOW, what's this about? He heard that I was anxious to get started. Well, he is right, and I told him so, however, I am not willing to make a commitment to drive an hour each way, each week to go to see him Lake Mary (I hope this isn't an excuse, so that I don't get my fat ass up and commit). He said he understood, and said that they're having an "Evening Out" get together March 30th, and would love for me to attend. He looks to have his practice open here in early April. Well, that's great, but my Cruise is May 2nd. I really wanted to NEED to buy new SMALLER clothes for the trip... oh well, it doesn’t appear that I will need those clothes after all.
Well, hang in there. I know you're struggling, and man, do I undertand that. I should make myself drive to lake mary. what's 2 hours in a week for 3 weeks?!? Think of the weight that I could lose in that time. dangit man! If I'm torturing myself about one thing, I'll just find something else to torture myself about.
P.S. on another note - we have puppies! 3 girls and 1 boy born yesterday, so it's been a very exciting few days around here.
Hi Melissa!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new babies! What type of dogs are they?
This has been a tough week and I don't feel like I am losing and am not sure why.
The food is actually pretty good for the most part. There are a couple yucky things I didn't like and they will take back unused stuff and replace it w/ what you want so that iscool.
I am about to post so I will touch on the foods I have tried and what I think of them.I figure it would be helpful for you and others who might be trying it.
If you could do the diet until your cruise, you have what, about 6+ weeks. In that time you could lose between 18-25 if not more. You could drive the long trip for the couple weeks until they are in your area. That wouldn't be so bad. Do you know anyone else who wants to try it? It might be more fun if you had someone to go w/.
The puppies are shitzu/pekingnese, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good idea, I need to find someone to go with me! Thanks for the idea.
oooh-I'll bet they are so cute! I like small dogs, altho prefer a smooth coat. I love dacshunds, we had one growing up. I like having a cat irmutliple cats, so easy! I posted a new pic. of my cat Baby at the bottom of the blog, she's a sweetheart. Thanks for being a follower!
