I'm feeling like total butt today. I pulled something to trigger sciatic nerve pain yesterday and on top of that it has been stressful having a houseguest for seven days, and my mid-morning insomnia has kicked into high gear--even worse, waking every hour to pee large amounts. I don't know what is going on. Even if I have my last sip of water at 2 in the afternoon, I am up peeing all night. It's horrible. I've been up since 1:47am. I'm not hungry, so that can be ruled out. My Aunt is finally leaving today, I hate to sound mean but I barely know her, and waking up everyday and feeling like I always have to be "on" and talking, or thinking of something to do has been just too much--I'm an introvert which makes it all even harder as I totally suck at forced, disingenuous conversations. :-( Maybe I'll sleep a bit better tonight knowing I won't have to deal with this again tomorrow, but that doesn't help with the urination issues.0

No, thankfully it doesn't hurt. You're probably right about the water weight. My husband told me that it may be because I am drinking too much water during the day, more than I ever have in my life. I'm going to cut back and see if that helps.
Thank you, and thank you too @1MADGIRL for making me feel better about my Aunt. I'd expect nothing less from "our" kind of peeps. Lolol

After I dropped my Aunt off at the airport, the stress started leaving my body. I came home and I really felt like *kitten*, though relieved. I had my very first binge day. I ate a bunch of random crapola, then took a 3 hour nap and woke up to the smell of grilled sausages, I had two! Sciatic nerve pain has lessened significantly and I am feeling better. Still messed up from lack of sleep overnight, but better, and I have no intentions of eating anything else today or tonight. Hope this doesn't affect my Friday weigh-in too badly. Here's the ugly... lolol

Sometimes you just need a splurge day. Get some sleep and get back at it (omad) and you will be fine!1

@wsandy8512 looks like you had fun!! Yum Yum..1 -
Ruby Tuesday Crispy Chicken Cobb Salad without croutons and I only had two small bites of the bread. MFP data base says 1500+ calories, but on the menu, 1280 is max calories for everything so I figure around 1220-1250 calories. Going to make myself a smoothie as I want to up calories a bit more. This was beyond delicious!

@brendagaudette, thank you and yes it seems to be working so far. :-) May not for long though if this sciatic nerve pain doesn't go away. I'm able to do indoor cycling, planks, pushups, and yoga, but that's it. Even walking aggravates it, but so does sitting and lying down so I feel sort of screwed, none of the exercises listed activate the pain though. Yoga helps quiet a bit, but the effect of less pain is only temporary. :-(
I hope this lets up by next Friday, it'll be awful to be on vacation in London with this crap. All the walking. The stairs. Ugh.0 -
I heard that pain is horrible
They have a bunch of exercise videos on YouTube for sciatica pain...I hope its better by your trip 0 -
Too funny, I was doing some of those youtube ones for sciatic nerve pain earlier. lol
I appreciate the well wishes, thank you :-)1 -
My eyes were bigger than my stomach today, it's only the second time this has happened with a meal. It's all good though as it doesn't happen too often. Some days you are hungrier than others even when you eat one meal a day. It is what it is.
I baked two low carb-low sodium wraps in the oven because I wanted crunchy like chips. Buried under the mound of sour cream, cheese, jalapeños, lettuce, my own homemade salsa of onions, tomatoes, 1/2 lime juice, garlic, vinegar, and cilantro, is 4 oz. of lean ground beef. I couldn't finish about a 1/4 of the meal. In total, including with my banana, blueberry, yogurt, banana, and chia seed smoothie, the meal would've been 1326 calories. I probably ended up around 1200

I've had that a couple of times and not fun. Have you tried an inversion table? Might help if you can stand to do it.0 -

I don't have an inversion table, only been on one once and it freaked me out. I'm sure it would feel great though for this. I actually did some trigger point therapy yesterday and it worked on relieving that area the whole day. I brought myself to tears by lying on my back and then putting a tennis ball on the painful areas, it hurt a lot, but it was worth it.
However, it seems I was babying that area so much the past few days that it put stress on the rest of my back. I could hardly sit yesterday. The tension rose whenever I sat down, not the sciatic nerve pain, but whole rest of the back pain, including Osteoarthritis in my lower back (OA had calmed down the past week and it's yet another reason I love OMAD--I haven't had any Rheumatoid arthritis flareups since starting but OA took longer). My hubby bought me a special seat cushion and it sucks sitting upright with perfect posture instead of comfortably, but it's sitting comfortably that isn't good so. lol It has an area that relieves pressure for the tailbone.
Sciatic nerve pain barely noticeable this morning. I am trying to remain positive that I'll be okay soon.
