Lavendercat's Progress Reports

I know it sucks when you feel bad. I wouldn't give up meat just yet unless you maybe prefer a vegetarian diet (nothing against it, I used to be one!). If you think you undercooked the meat, I would suggest getting a meat thermometer. I picked up a digital one in a cooking store for like, 10 bucks. One of the best purchases ever, I use it all the time and it tells me the safe temps for things. Take a hot bath, relax, and tomorrow you will feel better. 

 

Also what is drinkable squash? I love squash the vegetable, and it isn't bad for you. I am guessing that is not what you are talking about.

hiya, no its like sugar free cordial a syrup that you add to water.

 

thanks for replying.

 

im not brilliant today. forgot to take my meds yesterday. had bizarre dreams. got up very late.

 

couldnt think of a reason to get out of bed- normally the thought of a ciggie would do it, but im not smoking, so that was out.

 

this is normally what happens when i start some kind of plan- i start all gung ho then peter out after a few days.

 

but- maybe i can do a few things today.

[Eats-Own-Tail]

ok, so today is going amazingly well, which is a suprise because it started badly.

 

its because i have been listening to bellowhead, and suddenly remembered an epic quest i have had at the back of my mind for a few years.

 

i posted about it here http://nerdfitnessrebellion.com/index.php?/topic/24329-starting-very-small/

 

so im all pumped up about that.

 

so far today ive had breakfast, sorted my medication into their little dosage boxes, taken my meds, and done some dishes.

[Eats-Own-Tail]

doing ok. im ontop of the dishes, ive had a bath, and im ontop of the laundry. plus ive done a few daily chores.

 

however, ive hit another setback. ive got very bad stomach pains. this is due to an embarrasing problem ive had since i was on a medication for diabetes called victoza.

 

im no longer on the victoza, but sometimes i get the stomach pains. i managed to take a hot bath, which soothed it somewhat.

 

but im in quite alot of pain. i dont expect to get much else done today.

[Eats-Own-Tail]

ok so the pain became agonizing and i went to the hospital. they gave me some painkillers which didnt work.

 

the problem might be being caused by my proton pump inhibitors that i take daily.

 

it could also be my diet and lack of exercise.

 

so, i made a big pan of grains, beans, and veggies. i ate some and this provided some relief.

 

also i decided to go for a walk in the morning.

 

i am still in some pain, and didnt sleep tonight. but by crikey im going to sort this stomach problem out.

[Eats-Own-Tail]

i went for a 30 min walk this morning. then i went to bed.,

 

the pain was quite bad all day, altho i got some sleep. when i got up, really late, i ate some fruit. that seemed to help.

 

it has eased somewhat now, but still a bit painful. im gonna try and make myself some more grains, beans and veggies.

[Eats-Own-Tail]

made another pan of grains beans and veggies, and did 20 minutes walking on the spot.

 

i am now motivated by the wish to not be in pain.

Sorry to hear about the pain. You should talk to your doctor about this, if you haven't already. Otherwise I suggest hot water bottles. You can get plushie covers that make them nice to snuggle. I have a scooby doo plush that holds a full-size water bottle and it's great!
