I see we've gone to two pages, so Lin will probably start a new thread soon, but I'll leap in here anyway.
First, welcome, Veep! It's wonderful to have you here. I can imagine how tough it must be to keep a good attitude right now, especially since your medication makes you want to eat more. Boy, that's rough. Does eating lots of fiber help keep you from wanting to eat more? Is there any other medication you could take for this?
I'm glad to see everyone else is plugging along. We had a MARVELOUS vacation, one of the best we've ever had. It was relaxing and fun and refreshing, which is all you can ask from a vacation. We went up north and saw lots of beautiful water (we're in Michigan, so "up north" often means seeing the Great Lakes) and cute shore towns.
We also ate fabulous food -- lots of it. While we did get some exercise through various walks and a short hike or two, I didn't think it was as much as I had been getting.
So I can't figure out why I only gained a pound. And that's with teetering on the brink of TOM (which is overdue). Maybe the gain will show up this week? Maybe all that fabulous food was OK because it wasn't junk food for the most part? (We ate at some great restaurants, and I had a lot of fish.)
I dunno, but I'm not knocking it.
So we're back -- and things are nuts. My car battery died while we were gone, the washing machine flooded the basement today, that kind of thing. Let's just say we definitely know the vacation is over!
DH goes in for tests and some test results on Tuesday; I'll be going with him just in case. I'll have more to report then.
Onward,
Lauren
