It's going to be a standard practice of mine to not post here much on days when Jeanette isn't working, simply because we barely have any time together now that she's back to full-time work. She's been off on the weekends during her new training, but is going to Thursdays and Fridays off beginning this week. Thanksgiving off! yay us!!
I sooooooo desperately need a cheap but dependable vehicle to be able to take her to work and pick her up with, and to use for weekly shopping trips. Vegas' public transit is now so overburdened due to the collapsing economy that the last time she used the buses for shopping, Jeanette was passed completely by a total of three times by drivers whose buses were too full to accept any more passengers. I was in a state approaching panic when she was gone for almost 6 hours for a trip which normally takes 3 or 4 tops....
I haven't updated my weigh-ins for three weeks now, due to a combination of avoiding this place for a time, and SAD-induced embrrassment. So, here we go with some updates:
June 21, 2009 - 488 (-31 from Dec. 2007 lifetime high)
June 28 - 488 (unchanged due to quitting 3 daily doses of diuretics)
July 5 - 485 ( -3 )
July 12 - 478 ( -7 )
July 19 - 476 ( -2 )
July 26 - 475 ( -1 )
August 2 - 456 ( -19 ) ** (resumed diuretic and diabetic meds)
August 9 - 449 ( -7 )
August 16 - 454 ( +5 )
August 23 - 444 ( -10 ) (tried stopping lasix again -- no go)
August 30 - 449 ( +5 )
September 6 - 443 ( -6 )
September 13 - 442 ( -1 )
September 20 - 441 ( -1 )
September 27 - 440 ( -1 )
October 4 - 441 ( +1 )
October 11 - 435 ( -6 )
October 18 - 437 ( +2 )
October 25 - 436 ( -1 )
November 1 - 433 ( -3 )
November 8 - 439 ( +6 )
November 15 - 434 ( -5 )
November 22 - 434 ( 0 )
November 8 was to be expected with my salt intake higher and my overall diet in the gutter for a few days. The 15th brought a very pleasing rally, but the goose egg from the 22nd was a letdown. I've been back on plan and not overeating though, so things will get better.
I had another night of inadequate sleep last night, so I'm feeling pretty beat right now. I will be back either later on today or tomorrow with some explanation of the other things which really got my spirits down earlier this month. Also some positives!
I hope everybody is gearing up for a pleasant and healthy Thanksgiving!
And a heartfelt happy Thanksgiving to the gigantic primitive, too!
Only 34 pounds away from dusting off the resume, putting on those new clothes, and pounding the pavements looking for a job!
And with job, a car!
Good going!
