Just a quick update. I'm still sore, but not in tears anymore. Score!
Tonight is movie night. Tomorrow, I attempt a walk around the block. Slowly but steady.
Shortest post ever!

On injured reserve yet again
WARNING: This post is negative because I'm feeling negative.
It makes me want to cry. My back is out. Gone. Pain no matter what I do. I need help to stand and have to crawl into and out of bed or I won't make it otherwise.
I feel kind of stupid because of how it happened. I was bending at the waist, splashing my face with cool water. That's it. No jumping, running, etc. Just fracking bending at not quite a 45 degree angle. I'm a mess. I can't even splash my face without hurting myself!
I want to eat until I feel better, but nothing tastes good or comforting. Depressing, eh? Not as depressing as the deadline that looms. 2 papers due (on Monday and Tuesday) and a girl's gotta work.
Deep, cleansing breaths and peaceful vibes help somewhat, but not as much as hard core narcotics do.
Meh.

May's half over?
Wow. In two weeks the kids will be out of school and things will get crazy.
Deep cleansing breaths.
My migraine is in full effect, so my time online will be short today.
I haven't been eating clean, but I have been getting there and keeping on top of the 3-4 hour mini meal schedule. So far, so good. 4 days in and 4 pounds down. I'll see where I am on weigh-in day, but I'm digging the progress so far.
Peace, all.

I'm sorry
It's not that I've forgotten about this blog, I've been a slacker of sorts with just about everything outside of family, work, and school.
Regular postings will be back starting next week. What? I have a major paper to finish.
Peace.

Confessional: I binged last night
For the first time in weeks I fell off the wagon. I don't know what triggered it, really. I'd had a really good couple of days with food. Really good - lots of veggies, fruit, and water, lower sodium than usual, and less coffee. My heartburn was nonexistent and everything. Last night I just lost it.
The planned dinner for me was biscuits and gravy and fruit. I wasn't really hungry and the rain did not help at all. I was chilly but not cold and just not feeling much other than sick (yes, still). The family went with a take out chicken meal complete with Cajun beans, dirty rice, and mashed potatoes with sausage gravy. I miss the occasional take out with them, but not necessarily the carb coma that results from the meal. We still eat together, so that isn't the issue.
Anyway, I ate a lot. After dinner I had a snack and then another. Those 'snacks' were each the size of a decent lunch. I didn't feel the binge hangover this morning and that's a good thing. And food so far has been good - massive hemp and fruit smoothie for breakfast, herbal tea, small sandwich and chips for lunch, and a massive salad inspired by Black Bean Company is the plan for dinner. Out of nowhere, my stomach has decided to go nuts and nothing else is appealing to me.
Meh. Anyway, the binge is gone, even though I'm not sure what brought it on. I feel icky and want to sleep but can't. Sigh.
Here's to Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Day one without a binge.
