Getting Better...
Today was a good day even though I did get really, really tired this afternoon. I spent the morning tidying up the house and straightening things up a bit. Physically, I am feeling quite well...I just seem to get spurts of energy to do things and then I seem to crash and need a nap. All in all though, I am coming along nicely and still have had no complications. I am able to now eat 2 tablespoons of solid food like mashed potatoes...I've never enjoyed mashed potatoes so much than I am now!!! I soooooooooo look forward to them...with a little butter and garlic...they are amazing....tonight, I have to admit, they tasted like heaven!!!!! I was teasing the kids that I was eating the potatoes of Angels tonight...it tasted so good!!!!
I am looking forward to Thursday morning this week because I can have a tiny bit of scrambled egg!!!! The kids and I are going to get up early and all have scrambled eggs together with ketchup!!!! I can't wait!!! Over the next week then beginning Thursday I will be able to start having a few small crackers, tuna & salmon salad and 1/4 to 1/2 piece of toast with butter!!!! Who knew that such small meals could be soooooooooo exciting!!!
The weight continues to fall off although I would love for it to go faster!!! But the main thing is that I am feeling so very much better. I actually look forward to walking and being out and around now, which is a welcome change.
The highlight of today was receiving a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my work family in the Personnel Department. They are wonderful and certainly remind me of the many people that I have behind me throughout this journey. Thanks everyone!
As promised I read every word.
ReplyDeleteYou are brave, brave, brave!
It was good to hear how well you had thought this through and exactly what your goals were.
I am impressed!
Hang in there, girl. I always eat when I am too tired to go on and I guess you won't have that option anymore. So many habits will have to change. It sounds like you have all the tools to make it through.
One day at a time ... or one hour if that's what's needed!
(But, please, please, edit out your street address in your Sept 29 entry... all the weirdos in Toronto will know where to find you and your precious kids!)
