A Great Day!

So here I am...

Today after work, I had a stupid amount of energy. I couldn't believe it. Honestly, I think it was because I "snuck" a Bayer Back & Body. My doctor doesn't want me taking them because I was taking about 6 a week just so I could function. But when I took them - man... I had no pain!! So she prescribed me some pain medicine - that works for crap. It slightly dulls the pain, but not enough. It's all in my lower back. So anyways, I snuck a Bayer, and was able to do 10 minutes of walking to my Wii WALK IT OUT game (which worked out to about a half of a mile) (I don't exercise much, so anything was better than nothing - and my legs felt like jelly afterwards!), empty and load the dishwasher, unmake the bed, fold laundry, wash & dry laundry, fold THAT laundry, remake the bed...

My eating also was pretty good. Yes, I was over in everything I track, but not as over as I have been lately... And what pisses me off is I seriously want to have some ice cream, but I'm too full from dinner, so I won't. Honestly, I hope I'm hungry for it tomorrow because it's like having $20 burning a hole in my pocket... it's like burning a hole in my gut 'cause I want it so bad, but not to the point of overeating myself.

I'm starting to feel like I may be having a loss in weight. I won't be weighing myself again until either the 11th or the 17th (at one of the two next doctor appointments - I'm not sure if the specialist on the 11th will weigh me). But, I thinking about what I'm NOT eating... That rather than stopping at the gas station to pick something up, I'm bringing something in to eat... Or rather than munching down an entire bag of chips, I share some with my hubby and am able to leave some in the bag...

I guess it's all about conscious decisions!

    You are making great progress - it is hard to exercise when you are dealing with chronic ongoing pain. I am glad you have found something that works for you. Just being able to do regular everyday activities and chores in an accomplishment when you suffer from back issues.
Stay focused - You can do it.
