Posting this early, because I don't know if I'll be around the comp this evening.

Taking things nice and slow today.

Feeling way better than I did a couple days ago, but still pretty obviously ill.

Didn’t want to chance overwhelming my digestive-tract, so I was baby-stepping my meals today. The breakfast shake, for example, I took about half-an-hour to drink. (Usually takes me about a minute or less.) The Burger and Squash for lunch took about twenty minutes. (Again, usually would take about a minute.)

Shut up. I was a binge-eater for over two decades. ;)

I’ve gotten lots of support from people following yesterday’s video post about my major slip-up, which I fully admit I was shaking like a leaf when I actually uploaded that thing. That’s a LOT of transparency,… even for me, and it was really hard to do.

So, thanks everybody. It’s appreciated more than I can say in words.

See you tomorrow!

Feeling good today.

I got a little dizzy after this evening’s walk out to the dumpster, but I think a lot of things factored into that; allergens (it’s springtime-warm outside today,) dehydration (even though I’m drinking lots of water, my blood-pressure medicine is a diuretic so it’s tough to stay hydrated,) and the fact that I’d spent most of the day sitting and didn’t get much activity in.

Pulse is really steady and my breathing isn’t labored or anything, so I’m not worried.

So, a bunch of errands all landed on today.

Ran out of gas in between two of them, so I walked to a gas-station, got some gas, walked back to the car. Then, since the gas-station was on the way to my next appointment, I logged the distance on my odometer. It was about .6 miles. So, just about 1.2 miles round-trip. I’m sooooooo sore right now. Everything that has anything to do with my feet, knees, hips and/or back is throbbing right now.

I’m going to hit the rack early tonight, make sure I’m nice and flat, spread-eagled, etc, and make sure that I sleep as much as I possibly can. Otherwise, I think I’m going to be in agony tomorrow. lol

Between that and all the hopping in and out of the car, stair-climbing and just walking in general. I think I’ve likely topped over 1.5 miles today.

It hurts, but it’s going to pay off. :)

See you tomorrow!

My right leg has been killing me lately.

Specifically, it’s the outside-flank of my right thigh. It’s mostly numb, but with sporadic little sharp pains, like I’m getting stung by hornets. I know it’s because I’ve got a pinched sciatic nerve in my lower-back on that side, (which I’ve had for a while,) but my mattress is seriously exacerbating the issue. It’s old and broken down to the point that springs are poking through in a few places. The only support if offers comes from the pillows and bags of old clothing I’ve got stuffed between the mattress and the box-foundation. Since that support is so inconsistent and moves around day-by-day, my back just throbs a lot of the time.

Working on getting a new one.
