Well the good news is that my stomach issues seem to be gone and my appetite has returned. The bad news is that my appetite has returned
. Had a bad couple of days in the food department, just ended up eating a LOT when coming home from work. Adding bread to meals, pickles, I even had a soda which is stupid considering it's usually a trigger for stomach problems. Couldn't help myself
. My initial drop to 188 lbs seems like a distant memory since I'm now creeping back up into the 190's. Tomorrow I'm going to make an effort to workout! Looking forward to the temperatures/humidity dropping so I can start jogging again!
I spoke to my boss on Wednesday about my work hours, I apologised for being sick a lot recently and asked if I could change my schedule to 6 hour days, 5 days a week (I can work a max of 30 hours there). I explained that with whatever stomach issues I've been having, it seems to affect me in the morning, so if I could have some flexibility of when to start my shift it would be super helpful. He was completely understanding and very kind about it all, we get along well as people so I was thankful that he was more than happy to make those changes. It was a huge stress relief to know that if I have a tough morning, that I can simply wait it out and start work at 12pm instead of pushing myself too hard to start the day early.
In other news my cat Vivi is getting along nicely with our kitten, Haku! We're very pleased, but it's added a new dynamic to the house! They're super playful and we have to be more on it, but so far Vivi is doing a great job keeping him preoccupied!

Lacerta - Thank you so much for such a detailed response. I think I do have some form of undiagnosed IBS, my mother has problems too. She called it "gut rot", she would have to occupy the bathroom for long stretches of time after certain foods/drink combos. I have the same issues, sometimes I'll drink a soda and suddenly need to be on the toilet for about 30 minutes. I think you're right about the iron deficiency, I think it might be worth planning meals that are high in iron around when my period is about to hit to try and combat it. Well done on getting in the 170's!! That's so awesome after such a stressful start to your month!!
sgregg - Sorry to hear you've had a stressful time at work, I'm the same way with turning to food for comfort. Good luck with the events this weekend!!
