Day:
I struggled to wake up this morning as I was actually getting some sleep despite the bad dreams; ergo, my body was insisting that I continue to stay in the bed, but I was scheduled for a psychiatric assessment at 8:30 in the morning. At around 8 am my caseworker called to tell me that she rescheduled it at 3 pm. I had already had my morning pills and breakfast by that point. I headed to Transitions with my planner, Positive Notes composition book and folder in my backpack. I also made sure to grab my lunch money. I went with a small group Mallwalking and managed to due about 3.5 miles in the mall by the time it was all said and done. We headed back, and I had lunch. It was basically nachos and a small salad. I didn't think anything of it at the time. I went to the drop-in center and started to work on the story while I passed the time until the assessment. I noticed my mood started to drop pretty quickly after the meal. I passed it off as just being tired and having bad dreams for two nights in a row, a very plausible explanation. I focused on my story for a bit but couldn't concentrate. I would write for a bit then withdraw from it for a bit. I played pass the caseworker at the time of the assessment, but it worked out. I don't even know what my treatment plan says. I haven't read it yet. We get back to my apartment and there was a note that I still owed ten dollars on my rent. We set up meds then off to Walmart to get a money order and groceries. Katelyn dropped me off and left. I rode the bus home as it was too hot to walk. An hour late I made my dinner completely forgetting about my medication. Two hours later my mind swirled with thoughts of bingeing and purging, or just purging. I turned to my online supports and found little. It's a hard thing to understand. It's not that I'm stupid. I know that I should know better. I know the risks. I may know some that others may not know about. I decided I'd go for a walk around the community room to clear my mind. Somewhere along the way that simple walk got twisted into an act of purging of those nachos I had earlier in the day. I walked 5 miles in 1 hour and 32 minutes, my fastest time yet. The last thirty minutes my left ankle was hurting and by the end, screaming. I ignored it. All I could think of was that those nachos with all that cheese and chips was loaded with calories that I absolutely had to get rid of immediately. Driven by that thought and the fear that if I didn't get rid of them they were going to destroy me somehow I was compelled to continue to keep going around and around and around the community room. And to finish off my walk I walked out the door leading to the stairs to climb a flight up. So, tonight I purged and pushed my body past the point it needed to stop and rest. I sweated out a lot of sodium, on the upside I took in a lot of sodium today. I don't know how my ankle is going to feel in the morning. I don't get one of my stickers tonight.
Positives About The Day:
1) My psychiatric evaluation is done for another year
2) I found avocados at the store
3) Pharmacy had most of my medications ready
Postives About Self:
1) Willing to try again
2) Open to suggestions
3) Good with physics

Okay team..I asked for September to be my reboot .. but NOT of August. Just spent the entire day in ER with my little. This came after a horrid mental day yesterday starting with moms care meeting, sorting her clothes that she can no longer wear due to her surgery last month, listening to hubs with a bad work situation, little man coming home hurting and dd calling cause she needed a friend to vent to. By the time I finished yesterday (my restart after the weekend day) I was drained but spent the night researching appendix issues.
Fast forward and I'm spent mentally, havent exercised at all. Have stayed under calories cause I am NOT getting meals in, no good sleep, stressed to the max...
good news.. mom is happy, my little didnt have appendix issues (side muscle strain instead they think) ** after moms emergency surgery in same ER last month the last thing I wanted to do was have to be alone to answer the "did you decide to do surgery on my little" today** the other two (hubs n dd) had better days and I just want to sleep. Oh boy.. I am a never ending radio loop of "it will get better" ... just need to figure when.
I weigh in tomorrow ... is it possible to just roll over last week and let me see if Karma can find a nice plan for me in the next week.
@sandkp, absolutely, Shawnee. I will roll over your weight from last week. You are the epitome of the sandwich generation right now...my heart goes out to you!1 -

@dymphnadaniels, sorry your yesterday wasn't a good one, but it is over and done with, so put it behind you. Hopefully you slept well last night and you and your ankle feel great this morning! Congratulations on your fastest five miles to date, even if doing so when you did it was ill advised. Hoping today is a "sticker day" for you and you don't overdo it on the exercise!1 -

WEIGH IN AND MINI CHALLENGE
Sorry for the gain, team. I think that this past week stress and bad sleep got the best of me. I was in/under calories and hit exercise daily, so that's what makes the most sense to me.

@annabananamc, it certainly sounds like it could be stress and fatigue related, so that is the good news. A calmer, more restful week is on the horizon, and so is a loss on the scales I am sure!!0 -
Weighing in a day early this week cause I will be out of town tonight.
Last: 245.6
This: 246.3
I’m okay wih this. Usually when I add in intense workouts like kettlebells my muscles are really sore, which means they are inflamed. Inflamed muscles retain water for the healing process. Plus I am a day early. So just over a 1/2 lb (which I hope is water weight) is not bad.
Next week I will have this extra day to my advantage. As long as I keep up the hard work I should have a decent weigh in.3 -

Going to knock this out as well. Today I will be so busy. Work, then immediately picking my wife up after work to drive to Brooklyn and spend the night there. My work diet will be okay, but no time for a workout plus we are going to be stuck with highway rest stop food for dinner and will probably have some drinks at night.
I plan on getting right back at it on Friday though!

Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes
Today was another long day at work, so I didn't make the dinner I had planned. Instead, I made two slices of bacon with scrambled eggs(green pepper, onion, tomato, cheese and mushrooms). I am contemplating my cup of ice cream this evening because I am just so wiped out and want to go to bed. Even though I don't have to be in until 5, I have been waking up at 2:30(sometimes earlier) to get the dogs out and get some coffee in me/relax before going in... I am not a get up and run out the door kind of person. While I love my new schedule(Monday-Friday, no nights, no weekends or holidays) it has been killing my sleep. Especially with a young pup! At least tonight I have made my lunch and one for my boyfriend. Tomorrow is going to be an up in the air kind of night. We have to take Dillon to the vet after work tomorrow, and I don't know if we will be having dinner in or picking up something on the way home. Sorry I have been rambling much more lately, but getting my thoughts/plan out there is helping me a little!3 -

@erikNJ, you've got a good grasp of the situation....yes, next week's weigh-in will look better!0
