I am so full!
I don't think I will be eating any dinner.

That meal sounds fantastic, Bizi.

I have eaten more fruits today than usual.
blueberry smoothie with spinach
fresh peach which was delicious!
lunch had a big salad with berries (strawberries, blueberries and cranberries) and grilled shrimp. It was tasty. Had a vinaigrette with some honey in it which was good.
My afternoon schedule was a bust today, 3 cancellations and one newly scheduled client not for another 1 1/2 hours. So I should do some paper work since I have this free time. Hate paper work. Oh well I always wait till I am behind then just make myself sit down and do it.
We are going to the beach on friday for a couple of nights...I just started (TOM) so the heaviest day will be tomorrow so that will be good so by friday it will be better.
I can't wait to go thru menopause but don't want the symptoms.
Make it a great day.

Yum.

Gosh, you eat good food, bizi.

I'm feeling quite peckish just around now.

Okay I had a great day.

First Will, Derrick and I went to eat breakfast before PT.

Then I went to PT, learned the swelling has gone down alot.
And I have been able to walk around the bathroom with it.
I was also able to wash my hair last night. Wow, that felt good.

Still no showers back to sponge baths. My hope is over the weekend,
maybe.

If not next week. On Monday I go back to orthopedic.

Since my drunkiness of last thursday, I have had 1 1/2 pints of cider on sunday at a restaurant with friends and nothing this week. We are going to the beach on friday. looking forward to that.
Last night I snacked on a BOWL of nuts...it was at least half of a cup at least of peanuts and salty smoked almonds, more like a cup if I were truthful...sigh
148 this morning and it is TOM so that is pretty good of a number, am happy with that.
Jeff is gone for the day going to houston to take a guitar to be put on consignment. It is a 4 hour drive if her doesn't run into rush hour traffic. He will be back tonight. We are finished watching Lost for the 5th time. Now we started watching Downton Abbey again, loved that!
I did not have a client this morning so am being lazy in my pj's still.

Have not been going to the gym, keep telling myself that I will go when I have lost more weight. I have no energy after dinner, that is when I usually go. I wonder if this is more perimenopausal symptoms????


I have been on the internet for hours, this is a real addiction for me.
Something that I can't handle at times.

Hi Bizi,

yes that is a good number for the timing... tend to retain water around this time, so you might see couple pounds drop off over the next few days.

You have been really good with the alcohol. You seem to be consuming less of it when you do happen to have it.

I've read it's best to exercise after only a very light snack if that... something like juice or a banana at most, not a full meal.

I personally get tired after eating, and that is fairly common -- not sure but I believe it has to do with blood flow to the stomach. It is more noticeable after bigger meals.

Gosh, Donna,

What a process.

I hope you're up and moving around everywhere very soon!

I agree.
