Hello all. I think it's day seven today... lost track of the days after taking several long and much needed naps yesterday, LOL~~Jim has been having trouble sleeping, and his tossing and turning has been waking me up all week, so I just hunkered down and napped and caught up on crazy dreams yesterday.
Today I'm up and raring to go. Nice sunny day here, if a bit on the cool side, and definitely a day to get in the lake and paddle around. I have a million chores on my list, none of which I can do with this crippled back. Oh, what a shame!!! Jim says "just get on your floatie and grab a book and soak up some sun" while he takes the trash to the dump, sweeps the front deck, waterproofs my screenhouse/studio roof, etc. I'm sounding and feeling very spoiled.
Nancy, I don't know what to say about food planning and eating too many calories. I'm in the same boat lately. I just can't seem to get my act together completely. I'll eat really, really healthy all day, then at the end of the day will eat so much cheese and so many almonds that I'm a thousand calories over! Or I start my day off with a "f@ck it" and eat half a box of protein bars, which is my calorie count for the entire day!, and spend the rest of the day eating toast. Seriously??? How hard is it to make a salad and keep it in the fridge? Or to roast a chicken and pick at it all day? Aaaarrgghhhhhh. Obviously I need to put together a nutrition plan, food plan, diet plan, whatever you want to call it, and stick to it. Being in pain and feeling sad and depressed about being in pain takes a toll on my eating. I want comfort food and sweets.
I do love having this place to come and vent... even just writing that last paragraph makes me feel better and motivates me to get my act together. I think I'll take twenty minutes and put together a meal plan for the week and a shopping list. There's absolutely no reason I can't do this and stick to it and find some other way of getting comfort that doesn't include eating!
Hope all is well for the rest of you. Chime in when you have a chance!
