Quick note to self
Hunger has been a big issue this week. Eating more isn't good and didn't work. Protien shakes were not working for more that about 30 minutes. Yesterday for breakfast I ate a small handful of pecans. There were no funny side affects (lots of times things don't go down well) and I stayed satisified for hours. This morning I had a protien shake with five small strawberries and a small handful of pecans. The protien seemed to go down better than usual. Tomorrow I may just chew the pecans because I like to chew.
Also: I was depressed because I had stayed home for two weeks. Thanks to Teri for hanging out with me. It's always a good time.

185.7
I am in a funk. I posted that on Facebook and someone mentioned that it must be time for me to blog. I just wanted to say thank you to that person because I don't always realize what I need but blogging really does help me.
I have had Eli since May 13. I love the little guy but I leave myself out of the picture when I have him. I haven't been making time to exercise and I have been in a lot of pain. I havn't been eat the best and I have been drinking WAY too much.
Everyday I tell myself that my brain and habbits aren't different because of my surgery. I have to think about what to eat and not eat and fight the cravings. It is a struggle.
Things that are better: I can move without feeling like I am dying. I am gardening and walking. I can jog some. I can pedal my bike standing up very easily. I can stand at a mariners game in the concessions for 8+ hours without much trouble.
Things that I thought would be better that aren't:Touching the ground. I still don't have the hip rotation that I use to and it really makes it hard to pick things up. It's better but not where I want it to be.
Things that aren't better: My brain. I am still lathargic and hate cleaning. I didn't expect it to get better on it's own but it still brings me down at times.
Eli needs food. See ya soon.
