I lost over 5 pounds in my first week on my diet. My husband actually lost 3 pounds despite all his drinking. Unfortunately while I was out yesterday there was a pizza place next door, all I could smell was pizza, and I couldn't shake the craving for it, so we ended up ordering one for dinner and I ate half of it! I won't weight myself for a few days because I'm already bloated, and all the sodium I ingested last night will only add to that… I'm going to have to flush all that salt out with water. I've been weak and naughty… but back to the diet this morning.

I made a quick trip out yesterday, it was only for about 15 minutes, but I was in particularly bad shape. I was much worse off than Thursday, which was the day following the cleaning. I could have been having a bad day, but there's a possibility I have a respiratory infection because of all the coughing and shortness of breath. Infections can worsen MS symptoms. My temp this morning was only 99.6F, but I'll check it a couple more times today.

I downloaded my tax software a couple of days ago, and since I think all my documents have arrived, I started working on my return. We should be getting a refund, but it's not as much as I would have liked. For some reason, I can't download my state program even though I paid for it because H&R Block says it's "not ready yet"…. very frustrating! I'm going to wait to file anyway because there will be an update to the Federal return software on the 26th, and I want to be absolutely sure I won't be surprised by any other documents arriving in the mail.

I hope the Pats win, and win big tonight!!! Another Super Bowl opportunity would be nice… very excited about the game!!!

congratulations on the weight loss!
I wish my weight would come off sooner but it did not come on over night so....it is foolish to think it will come off easily.
I discovered wine has only 4 carbs for a 5 oz glass.
We went to a play last night. Had not done that is quite a while.
Enjoyed it very much so!
have a great day kay!
enjoy your pats!!!!

I hope you continue to lose.

I watched the last half of the Falcons vs. Packers game... total blow-out.
And of course I watched the Pats game, too!!! It was a good game, and an impressive win!!! I'm very excited to see them heading to another Super Bowl, but the Falcons will be a very tough team to beat, and it will be one hell of a game!!! I can't wait!!!

1/2 pizza... gained 1/2lb. I probably should have waited to weigh myself.

I also haven't gone to the BR in a week. I'm so tired of this ****, or lack of it. I'm going to have to take mag. citrate again. My gastroenterologist wants me to take 2 bottles of it twice a week in addition to everything else I take (that doesn't work), but I only do it once a week because it makes me so nauseous after I drink it, it's such a turnoff.

My temp was normal for the rest of the day yesterday, so I don't think I have an infection. I think I've just been having some bad days because of the MS (and overdoing it). Sometimes there's just no other reason for it.

I am happy that the Pats one and that you can look forward to the Super Bowl.

Thank you, Mari

I broke the garbage disposal last night by throwing the remainders of cooked broccoli down there. I can't believe that was enough to do it... The water in the sink isn't draining normally now, but I think that's normal if you break the disposal? I'm not thrilled because it's another hassle, but I guess maintenance can fix the faucet that's leaking at the base (for the 4th time) while they are here. I've been putting dish towels back there since it started leaking again because I got tired of calling.

It was really ****ty out yesterday. It was snowing all morning and most of the afternoon, but nothing was sticking to the roadways or walkways, so I did go out to run an errand. After a brief respite, it started snowing again last night, and we're expecting a mix of rain/freezing rain/snow and high winds straight through to tomorrow morning.

I have a doctor's appointment I just can't miss at 9am today. It normally takes me about 15 minutes to get there, but I'll probably head out at 8 because I'll have to clean off my car and will have to deal with rush hour traffic in less than ideal road conditions... really looking forward to all that.

Take care on the roads today, Kay.

Be safe.

Going out yesterday was not the best idea I've ever had, but I really did have to go out.

At 8am, the stairs and the walkway here were still not shoveled (!!!), so it was rough going just getting to my car, which I had a hell of a time cleaning off. I'm glad I left early because there was a lot of traffic and there were a lot of ***holes on the road. I just made my appointment.

I had a terrible time trying to walk from the garage to the medical building, from the medical building to the hospital, and back to the garage from the hospital. I wasn't going very far (by normal people's standards), but the sidewalks and street crossings weren't in good condition, and it was still snowing and very windy.

By the time I got home (3 1/2 hours later), I was ready to go to bed, but I had to deal with maintenance, and then the plumber being here. I finally got to sleep for a little while about four hours later, but wasn't up to cooking when I got up and we ordered out again, so I broke my diet again. I weighed myself this morning, and was very happy that didn't gain any more weight though.

I'd love to hang around in my P.J's all day because I feel like ****, but I have to get in the shower soon because I'm expecting the kid from maintenance to come by sometime this morning to fix the faucet (the disposal is fixed), and I have another appointment at 11am. At least it's already above freezing and it's not snowing or raining anymore.
