Well, so far what a weekend. Friday I was not feeling well and then all of a sudden around 10am I was starving, I was even shaking. So I started to eat. By 11:30 I had eaten a granola bar, my fat free yogurt, a fruit cup, an applesauce cup, an orange, a cheese stick and 5 crackers. I just could not stop eating. Went home ate lunch, still hungry so had a handful of peanuts hoping that would stick better to my stomach. Went back to work and ate a snack in the afternoon. Plus drank 84 ounces of water. Ate two helpings at dinner plus a salad. It was like I had a tapeworm or something. Went and got groceries (so didn't have to do it in the rush today of all the college students coming back to town) and got some fat free fruit slices, ate about 8 of them, got some Weight Watchers coconut things (in chocolate) and ate two. That seemed to have done it. I gained two pounds because of all of this.
Yesterday started out good and ended bad. We went out for dinner and after I had a salad I had a garlic roll, an 8 ounce sirloin, 1/4 cup of garlic mashed potatoes, and onion straws - and ate all of them. This was on top of chugging down 32 ounces of water during dinner. I was so sick last night on our way home and during the night. Today I feel much better.
So yesterday I went up 2.5 pounds from Friday and this morning I'm down 3 pounds back to what I was before TOM hit. So I'm starting today new. I'm really going to try and watch what I'm eating. I seemed to be eating this weekend without care. I noticed a bit of depression hitting me too - I was in bed on Friday night at 8pm and asleep. Last night I was in bed at 7:15 but because I had to be curled up in a ball to feel better. I didn't go to sleep until 10:30. I was really beginning to scare myself that this month was going to be worthless and that maybe this wasn't the right time in my life to be going past what I've done. Then I woke up this morning and have a whole different outlook and feel somewhat better. I've already had 10 ounces of water and I'm going to go down and eat a granola bar and orange before going to church. I'm sure some of it is stress. Since the beginning of December I've had this spot on my right side of my throat and we thought it was when I started having drainage due to my sinus infection because it was like that feeling. Well sinus infection went away but this bump feeling hasn't. Saw doc last week and he put me on the strongest antibiotic he could and it's not gone. I have to go see him tomorrow for a check up and he said if it wasn't gone then he's referring me to an ear, nose and throat specialist with a request to have a scope done because he feels it might be one of my lymph nodes - which scares me. But I'm sure it's nothing, could just be from drainage which hasn't stopped despite all the meds I've been on lately. I'm hoping that's what it is. It hurts to swallow and that does get better when I take ibuprofen. But once that wears off, about every 6 hours, then it's back. UGH.
I'm going to try to get to some journals today. I need to work on cleaning up my office, it's horrendous! And I have some Habitat work I have to do as well. Hope everyone has a good day and I'll chat with you all later.
Keep on
Chris
