Im eating healthier. I really need to lose weight, but it's hard being on Zyprexa. But I'm eating more fruits and vegetables. I'm kinda following weight watchers. My sister got me the book. I don't go to the meetings, I cant afford it. But it's a guidline.
I can't exercise because of my back. But I'm doing the best I can with eating healthier. |

I’m just gonna throw this out there... because of dealing with an ED from a very young age, I stumbled across something interesting.. our body’s will hang on to calories more if it’s cold , like a Storm front blowing through. Our body’s use extra calories to keep us warm. So it makes sense biologically.. the advice was to take carbs totally off the menu for 4-5 days and it restarts the weight loss. I have found this to be true personally Maybe it’s all hoohaa but maybe worth a shot __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Tell me more about the situation with your back. It helps to know where in the back the pain is as well as the cause of the discomfort. I'll take a look and see if I can find anything that might be a fit. |

Here's a short cardio workout option YouTube Here are some ab exercises you could try YouTube This is a low impact chair workout. I'm not sure if any of these moves would flare up back pain, but it may be worth a shot YouTube Also, if you type 'exercises safe for back pain' into the Youtube search there are a bunch of options for stretches and yoga exercises that are meant to assist with the pain itself and strengthen your back. Working some of those options in seems like a good idea. Start slow and work your way up. Any changes you make are valuable! |

Well I did finally sleep!!!!’ But because I was in bed so long my pain level is actually higher but now mentally I can really work on getting in front of it.
My breathe is still just junk! My psoriasis flare is indeed popping up in other places.. I have an ointment from my dermatologist to hopefully help. But I really need to get back on a biologic because that helps the PsA and skin involvement. I would not wish this on anyone. We are leaving for Florida in 10 days !!! Last trip I almost forgot to go to the post office to hold our mail. Yes tomorrow I’ll start that list __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Thanks ! I forget that ! We did that once before because I forgot. But we had 3/4 days already delivered, so small town living helped us out because our mailman picked that stuff back up. I usually take my local post office a cake for the holidays, there’s only 2 office workers and 3 route drivers. My living room and master bedroom is bigger than the whole office lol Coming from big city to a small town of at most 5000 was so strange at first lol __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I’ve been slacking on my low carb diet for at least a week now. I went out to eat a lot. We haven’t gone food shopping in a couple of weeks so there’s not much food in the house. That’s definitely part of the reason why. I think I need to go to the food store on sunday and get a rotisserie chicken for the week and also some sopressata. I tried to eat deli I meat and cheese for lunch one day this week and it was awful. I hate deli meat. I rarely eat sandwiches. Just tuna salad. I can mKe tuna salad for lunch too. That’s low carb. I mean, I did OKAY this week but I could do much better. I doubt I lost any weight.
I bought the nicotine patch to help me quit smoking. Can’t do it cold turkey at all I wish I could but I just can’t. I’m hoping the patch and chewing regular gum will help. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.
