Hi girls!
In a lot of pain again today. Gastro office did not call back.. I wonder if it's bc the doctor is going to call personally later or maybe he's off. But it makes me sick that they make you suffer worse than an animal under the guise of potential addiction. Give me a break! I am in so much pain and they should be willing to treat it!!
Going lc today! I'm waiting for the pain pill to kick
In then will be making eggs and bacon... No school today for ds due to parent teacher and it's raining cats and dogs out there! At least it's not snowing..if it calms down later I might go to Costco with the kids. I need Epsom salts and could stock up a bit on protein and veg. We didn't get the groceries yesterday like we usually do bc of parent teacher and my massage (which was awesome btw) or maybe Superstore- we're out of water , the big ones.
Looked thru Dana carpenters book and it looks interesting. I still haven't tried cauli rice or fauxtatoes yet and I really should.
And in the other book I found a yummy looking crockpot recipe that's got chicken cubes, cauli and cheese. It sounds yum..
Kel- ikwym about the drugs! The one you're on, I think it's not recommended for more than six consecutive cycles so there's solace in that.
The other thing , I don't want to come across as a witch!! And I want to say that on drugs that increase your appetite and make you gain normally, maintaining is a Huge victory!! But it's still possible to lose with almost any drug, including steroids, if one is low enough on the carbs. It's certainly not for everyone... But sometimes it's the few grains that cause us up perpetually crave, want more, and have a greater propensity to put on weight..I'm on a few drugs that are certainly a reason that weight loss is slow and challenging, but since I might be on them for years or forever, j don't want to wait that long, Kwim?
I reiterate that I truly believe that maintaing is a victory to celebrate that most people can't do (even without being on meds) but I wanted to post this to lyk that it IS possible- if you didn't want to wait.
Paleo- that spreadsheet sounds interesting !! I should really get far more exercise than I do- it's ridiculous ! I know it's an excuse, but with the butt issues I an so sore the next day it's almost conditioning me to be a lazy blob
Maybe I should just tone my arms, lol
Sidenote- if you ever see a strange word out of context I am usually typing on my itouch and it subs words. I hate it but I hate waiting for my laptop to warmup more..lol
Oh yeah..kel, have you tried and enjoyed any if Dcs recipes?? I don't know where to begin!
So I deep cleaned the house yesterday... Now I usually do the minimum- I am so fatigued!but vacuumed the living room, entryway, and mats on my hands and knees... Cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the clutter, took a trunkful
Of donations to the vv, unloaded dishwasher, dis tons of laundry including bleach load (never gets done)..packed cs too small stuff into a bin, put away our winter coats , conditioned all the leather furnitureetc! It feels so good! Mind u, neat freaks would still see a million areas that need help, but for our home, it's almost as good as it gets.. I will work on maintaining it (difficult!!!!!!) and I have z few other things to do. The bedrooms and bathroom aren't great ATM , the basement stairs are bad and the car needs help. The fridge is dirty too.
Have a great day, ladies!!
