bizi's new july thread:
 

Well today is day 2 of not drinking alcohol. I had a NA beer with dinner it tasted great. It is the partake beers from Canada.
so glad total wine and more carries them again.
I think I am going to the gym to try to walk on the tread mill. If I make a mile it will be a blessing. Had my knees exrayed today.
That came back good no broken bones or knee caps. and md wanted me to start using
mobic for pain. It is a non-steroidal noninflammatory( NSAID) commonly used for arthritis. She wants me to use a knee brace
for support. I talked to the nurse about having a cat scan and she called back and ordered an MRI...just have to wait for
authorization from my insurance. She pulled the big guns out which surprised me.

Sounds good Bizi. I wondered if they would do a mri first.
Donna

The MRI'S are scheduled for the 20th. She wants both done just waiting to hear from our insurance company if the will approve it or not. No news is good news she said. We have met our yearly deduction, so here on out till the end of the year I will only have to pay for %20 of the costs. Once we find out what is what then I will go to PT.
Thanks for checking up on me. miss you.
day 5 of diet. down a couple of pounds, I yo yo so much I am sick of my self.

It was easier getting up out of bed today.
jeff gets up around 7 am to walk and

run a bit for 4 miles feeding snacks

to cats in the neighborhood.

I think I got up around 9;30am.

We went to hub city diner for breakfast like usual.
I had my BELT bacon lettuce and tomato

with and an egg. on rye bread not toasted.
It is my favorite breakfast, I skipped the side
of hash brown that normally comes with it.

very satisfying. the breakfast came out in

lightening speed. so we were back from the
diner by 11am. when we would normally

have just gotten going at that time.
I did not have any coffee this morning and on to my 2nd
cup, take my vitamins and brush my teeth.
normal morning things.
Doing laundry is a sunday task as I am out of uniforms.
Hoping that your pain/anguish/anxiety, lonely feelings subside a bit today.

Hi,
I had my second eye done today. Really was different. Hoping its
not a sign of problems, but just because I'd had the other one like
the nurse said I could expect. I have some redness in the bottom
of the eye, when I put my eye frops in. But I don't remember if
I looked at it last time so its not going to bother me. I'll worry about
things tomorrow. I know the eye has been more irritated for the
last two weeks, so I'm going to guess that has been the problem.

Derrick has been working, Dale & I went to a funeral in Kokomo
of a good family friend on Saturday it was a pretty good turn out.
We then came home and ate lunch and did some other things.

He really seems to be enjoying his retirement. I'm just getting
to the point I'm finding it okay,.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Sorry that your second eye surgery is different. I am hoping it does not cause you any more problems.

I count tuesday as day one of not drinking that is the 5th. today I continue to not drink and alcohol. so that makes a week.
I have substitute with my partake AF beers that are low in calorie and I like them.I made a rule, no more drinking after 9pm.
Don't want to get up all night. I drank 64 ozs of water today. and a can of diet stevia/zevia. Then tonight I had 4 partakes.
For some odd reason they make me a bit congested. I will take my meds tonight with little water. the cogentin almost always
get hung up in my throat, it is the most bitter pill that I take.I have had quite a lot of sodium the last 2 days,
my fingers look so puffy. I am afraid to get on the scale tomorrow. I am stuck at 4 pounds lost in 2 weeks.
Thought for sure that the none drinking would lose the weight quicker. maybe the AF ones are interfering???

It could also be the watching to see the weight go down. That was
always my problem. When i quit trying to watch my weight I seemed
to lose more. So I just stopped watching it.

Now I've lost some more.

Not sure how much because I have a goal and I'm not going to state
how much I'm at till I reach that goal, and head to my next.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I know that I should not be glued to my scale every morning but I am.
good for you Donna! Good luck as we go thru our own weight loss journeys .
((((((hugs))))))

I cut off my liquid intake after 8-9 to see

if I don't get up every hour or two to pee.
I got up 4 times last night.I was able to

get up when I wanted to get up because

my 10;30 appointment canceled on me

and I did not fill it with another client.

good night all I will sleep in again.
last night I could not get to sleep so I took some prns 10mg of zyprexa with requip to ward off restless legs. it did not do that at all I was constantly moving thought I would wake up jeff. So I moved to the other bed room and took some more requip and was able to go to sleep at 4am

bizi
I hope I can get to sleep tonight jeff is away so I am roughing it. I ate 3 beer brats for dinner, not the best choice but they were good with

brown mustard. no bread total of 9 carbs which is good.
not very nutritious. for lunch I ate a ham and cheese sandwich
with brown mustard. It was daves lower calorie killer bread....Have not had any bread at the house in so long. I am going to pick up a girl friend who injured her ankle and is hobbling around on her boot that she is not supposed to wear for more than an hour each day. That doesn't make sense to me.I told her she could ice it up to help reduce the pain.
She is supposed to have neck surgery on august 5th. I don't think they will operate with the wounded foot. I told her this to encourage her to tell the surgeon before hand. She agreed.
any way.
blah blah blah
12 night not drinking.
weight is 189.9 again this morning.

now I am really going to get ready for bed.
