Rest days are sometimes really good for us @orangesmartie
And you've been on point for over a week, so if it's not going to cause any sort of set back I say go for it.0 -

I am glad you have a prescription to help with the pain & here's hoping you're pain free soon!0 -
i ate a whole pizza and a garlic bread last night. I was so full and sick I had to stop for a rest mid-eat, but then I went back and ate more 10 minutes later0

Ah, the good stuff! Watch out for the dreams. Last time I had codeine I had really wonky, weird dreams and also they were tactile which is unusual for me.
I always have the wonkiest dreams as it is, so I can't wait to see how much wonkier they can get...

That's fantastic news!
Umm... codeine is wickedly constipating... just sayin'
Sigh... Just what I need. Oh well. The codeine is a use-as-needed drug, accompanied by a pile of NSAIDs and muscle relaxers, so hopefully they'll be enough without the codeine?
I took the muscle relaxer last night and the diclofenac this morning, and while I'm feeling some pain, it's nothing like it was before. 0 -
I don't know if you recall how my daughter was really struggling with her health..? (Anemia, exhaustion, depression, really bad periods.)
Yesterday was blood test results day. Turns out her iron is up to a healthy level (yay for Feramax!) and her thyroid function is normal. The latter was a real surprise because ALL of her symptoms fit for hypothyroidism, but apparently it's not that. Despite the fact that she's on a seasonal birth control pill to try to reign in her brutal periods, she's been bleeding almost constantly for three months. Our doctor has asked her to keep taking them until she can get in to see a gynecologist. She's also referred her for a pelvic ultrasound, and clearly thinks this is the cause of all her problems. They agreed that her weepiness/depression is a symptom, and not the problem in itself, so won't treat that for now. She's really liking her new job, so things are better at the moment anyway.
I feel a bit disappointed that we didn't get a definite answer, but I know it's good that she doesn't have a lifelong condition. I'm now hoping that maybe she'll get a D&C and an IUD and it might make everything better.... The doc said that because she's so young and having a tough time, she should be able to see a gyno within the next few weeks, so fingers crossed.
She sounds a lot like my sister, and she never really got a solution because my mom didn't follow up--she's still struggling. I really hope you get some definite answers so she can get what she needs!0 -

To be honest, I'm not sure if I COULD eat a whole pizza. I've never actually done it... I meant that I would make myself so full on some kind of food that I'm absolutely sick, then go back after a few minutes when my stomach settles a little bit and eat some more. X_X I've definitely done it with cookies, for example. 0 -

Yeah I think you're right, it's good for me mentally if nothing else. I've made it to the sofa downstairs and drunk lots of lovely filter coffee

I'm already down 2 pounds (stupid sodium) and I'm hoping to hit 182 again by the end of next week but until then I am avoiding the scale like the plague and increasing my water intake. Bonus: I'm also constipated....UGH!
Had a women's exam and physical on the 6th where my doctor asked if my weight loss was intentional. She said so far, I'm doing everything right but she worries about women my age and weight loss so she wants me to check in with her when I hit 160 to see where my head is at.
During the papsmear she noticed a slight bacterial infection and she said it SHOULD clear up on it's own but she wanted a full STD panel just to be sure(if ANYTHING comes back positive look for Sergeant Sexy Pants in the obituaries ).
I had some abdominal pain during part of the exam, so when the blood panel comes back we'll see if I have an ultrasound in my future or not.
Of course she wants to check my cholesterol(high cholesterol runs in my family) reminded me that I have a little less than 4 years before she wants me to get my first mammogram (yuck!) because breast cancer is so heavy in my family.
She has also ordered a full metabolic blood panel which I have never heard of and she has never asked for before so I am pretty nervous about it. She said it would give her an idea if she could help in any way with my weight loss.
Hopefully, everything comes back normal. Whenever I go to the doctor is the only time I ever REALLY just want to be normal.
ETA: Glad your doctor gave you something to help @Susieq_1994
And Codeine has the potential to constipate the SMURF outta you so use with caution.
Glad your DR is so thorough, mine is too, but so many are not! Hope everything comes back good!!0 -

You are 26and have never had a CMP?! Lucky girl!!! I have gotten them off and on since i was 7. They don't scare me now, but I would LOVE to see my kidney numbers get back to normal. They are the only thing showing any damage from long term celiac. they were better this last time, but still low. Not dangerously anymore, but enough that I don't use any pre-workout drinks or protein shakes that have creatine in them.
And I hope you don't have to harm Sgt. Sexy Pants and everything clears up soon.0 -

You are definitely not alone. Last night I walked to the store and bought a bag of chips and some dill pickle dip and proceeded to inhale them. I did manage to throw the remaining dip in the garbage when I was done. After that I ate 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter. Ugh up 1.5 pounds on the scale this morning and I had to go and add it into my diary this morning even though I wasn't going to0 -

I'm glad I'm not alone, but it doesn't make me feel less disgusting about it. a whole pizza was actually the beginning of a four day emotional binge that saw me repeatedly down enormous quantities of crap food, reaching the point of physical discomfort multiple times.
Over the past month I have lost 4.9kg, but in 4 days I've managed to push 4kg back on

WAIT....THERE ARE TWO SUSIE'S NOW! This will be fun! Welcome @MissSusieQ. For a second I thought Susie changed her name.
I was so good yesterday until dinner (that I cooked). Dinner wasn't fattening (swordfish and cesear salad) and since I was cooking I was busy but then I ate a large piece of fruit tart. Then got hungry and ate a bunch of dry roasted peanuts. So way over in calories yesterday. Hence my goal today of staying at 1200 calories. Luckily since I was at my mom's I couldn't weigh in. I am scared for tomorrow.0 -

I know how you feel. I've managed to put on about 15 kilos over my low weight in a very, very short time period. I feel so disgusted with myself. Ugh.
No worries about the inception... It was rather funny.
Editing to add: I'm jealous that your Q is capitalized. I made my account with a capitalized Q, but back then the username generator would only capitalize the first letter of the name regardless of how you wrote it. I want a capital Q!

I am scared for tomorrow.
Tomorrow is my weigh-in and I'm scared too! The day before yesterday, I walked around a store while my husband was at the barber and I bought a package of all-butter shortbread and inhaled the entire package by myself. Then, yesterday, Mr. Susie rewarded me for being brave (by going to the doctor and talking all by myself!) by getting me ice cream at the Marble Slab Creamery. It would have fit in my calories, except that I used it as an excuse to pretty much mess up the day and eat whatever I wanted. I ended the day around 2000 calories. :-/
I'm also really, really bloated from my meds, for some reason--to the point that my skin is painful when it gets poked, as though I have a giant bruise all over me. This weigh-in isn't gonna be pretty. 0 -
You can all ignore this if you like, I just need to complain somewhere.
Getting ready to run stairs yesterday morning I looked at my stomach and thought "eeee! At least this unintentional weight loss means I can see ABS!"
Looked closer...it was just ribs. I am really not happy with my body right now. My arms are hanging onto more fat than anywhere else and practically as wide as my waist, my ribs are showing in weird places, my bras are gapping, and a months' worth of stair running hasn't done anything at all for my flat butt yet. I know it hasn't really been long but I'm just so annoyed that I'm working out like crazy and my body looks WORSE. I've always been pretty hourglass and I'm getting completely rectangular. Not cute.
I better be getting stronger at least because otherwise I'm spending a month on the couch after we get back from trekking.0 -
I will just sympathize with all the binges, unintentional weight gains, unintentional weight loss and blah days. For a reason I have not teased out yet I am up 1.5-2 lbs and bloated (I may blame hormones).
I'm cranky, or was. I finally got some good sleep. I had two days of little sleep due to dogs/thunderstorms. I can sleep through the storms but not the dogs. I've been the dumping ground of a bunch of everyone's emotions (how do therapists do it???) as I have helped some people sort through stuff. One was at work where an employee was mixing two issues. Daughter is enjoying school but there is angst and her father (my ex) pulled some additional very passive aggressive crud (aimed at me) that makes her stressed. Can't he see that his efforts to hurt me only hurt me by seeing my daughter hurt? I'm not going to let that show. I just call him out in a recorded way (i.e. emails cc'd to the divorce attorney and if he involves my parents then I cc my parents too - sheesh - it should not be like this!) This actually seems to work fairly well because he has an image of himself that he wants to project of being the "good guy" who is "cooperative" and when I object to anything I'm "freaking out." When it is clearly demonstrated that he is the instigator who is uncooperative and that my calling him out is completely calm and rational then he straightens up for that incident. There are friends going through very tough times now too that I won't mention here, but that I am concerned about and wish I could help.
I'm fine financially but want to be better. Basically I want it all, now, and it is not possible. I want the house fixed up, a savings account, a retirement account, to travel a lot, and to contribute to my kids college. I just started from less than nothing two years ago. I'm getting there but sometimes I get hard on myself. I am making progress on all counts.
And...back to the weight...why??? I just made some changes to my diet and vastly upped my protein. With my food intollerances there are plenty of foods if I get just a trace of them I bloat. Am I bloating? Am I gaining? I've felt very lack luster working out the last few times too. I have been, though, so I count that as a win.
Ok, I'm done whining and am going to get to my chores.

I'm not so sure about this Strattera. I feel like I'm high, but I can focus a little better and I've noticed my appetite has really gone down, even though I'm only on my second dose. I felt all loopy yesterday, but I'd figured it was because I didn't get much sleep Friday night. Well, today I'm still getting that loopy feeling, and I had a full night's sleep last night. Hubby thinks it's my body just adjusting to the medicine, so I guess we'll see how things go.0

I did NOT log Thursday at all for some reasons...
1. I have NO idea how much beer/wine I drank.
2. I went swimming but I have no idea for exactly how long or what my effort would be defined as
3. I ate a TON of fried food.
4. I gained 5 pounds and I want to cry about it because I was SO close to 179 and I did this to myself...
5. I want to become a good runner but it's too surfing hot and humid in Austin, TX to even really try.
6. For the first time in, well, ever, I can not WAIT for it to get cooler so I can run more with my dog Tessa.
In the voice of George Lopez "You Got This":).
You at least did some exercise & the fact you run is awesome.
I think every now & then we have to take a cheat day or just eat a few special treats to keep us on track.0 -

Last night I went to my niece & nephew's joint birthday party & we got Little Caesar's pizza as part of the food. I think I ate around 4-5 slices, but I have such a bad memory if I don't put it in right away so I put that I had 7. I love their Hawaiian Pizza!
It's sad how fast I can forget how much something weighed on the food scale if I don't put it in my diary right away.
It's just as bad as me wanting to remember lyrics to a song, & then find the song to add to Spotify & then 5 seconds later I have already forgotten.0
