Whoops! I posted the above in the wrong thread. Sorry!
Today I felt fine, physically, other than my clogged ear. Hubby and I had two (yes two) different covid tests. In the morning, we went to an urgent care center. That was formal (with lots of forms to fill out) with a nurse administering it, and a doctor popping in. The afternoon one was literally done by ourselves, while in our car at a Rite Aide Pharmacy drive through. Why two? Because we must have results within 72 hours of our flight. Timing for getting results is a bit iffy. Tick, tick, tick. I cheated on my diet today. The good thing is that I threw some leftover cookies in the trash. My sister brought them. They sucked. Definitely not worth the calories. Looking forward to French pastries. |

My weekly weigh in today showed that I'm in the next lower 10 pound bracket. Just by one pound but I'll take it! That's 43 pounds down from my highest! Twenty down from a year ago.

so my care team have just been on the phone- and apparently, they want to arange for me to have live in care (based on what I've been telling them about
my pain, and the minimal results they are seeing in an improvement) I was basically told today by the team that my body is on it's way out, and I was told they won't give me anything else- won't try me with anything else, I should just accept it, and accept the fact that I'm going to need extra care they said if their's ever any concerns email us, but I'm looking at a waiting list of 6 months to get the kind of care I need, and until then, I just need to "struggle on" I am only in my 20;s, and I certainly didn't want to here this at such a young age but their it is. I guess a new era and a new reality (new normal) is on it's way, a lot sooner than I'd hoped |

I gained another 0.4 lbs this week. I gained exactly the same the week before. It's expected and surprising at the same time. Expected because I've fallen away from meal tracking for a while, and have eaten more and some not so diet perfect stuff. Surprising because I continue to feel and look thinner. The latter could be a cognitive distortion. Unlike many, I have a tendency to think myself thinner/lighter than I really am. That can be slightly dangerous. Or, maybe I have gained some muscle mass. I feel stronger and more muscular. I have always had the basis (for lack of better word) of good muscle mass all the way from my ballet days. Ballet muscle is lean and long looking, not bulky.

Yesterday was a good day physically. I got a solid workout in and I ate really healthy. It felt good and I want to keep it up.
I finally bought a scale. It confirms the reason why my pants feel snug. I know what my body needs to get back to good and I finally feel ready to commit to doing it again. I'm not sure why I went back to bad habits. All of the changes were small and seemed insignificant, but it adds up over time. I started tracking my days holistically and I think that will help me pay more attention to my physical health. I wonder if my forgetting to focus on my physical health was a sign that I was headed toward an episode. The timing adds up. Its like I dialed in to things I had going on mentally and emotionally and I forgot to care for my body properly. My workouts became erratic and my eating was a rollercoaster. Definitely something to keep an eye on for the future. How is everyone this week? Sending love and support to you all. |

I have been emotional/stress eating and I know better. I have lots of tools in my tool box to self soothe without resorting to that. Physical activity has not been consistent either lately. This could be categorized as a slip in my weight loss journey. I have lost a significant amount of weight and would like to continue so I will buckle down and recommit.

I'm stuck with weight loss. I have lost 7 pounds but now kind of stuck. Ive gone over my calories several times but not by much at all. I just dont have time to exercise with the move staring me in the face every day. My avatar is my inspiration! This is the true me and I need to get back there! Im half way in my journey!
