Holding steady. . .

Nov 14, 2012

. . . . and frustrated lol.  I am not too crazy about these "stalls" or slow downs, or recalibrations, or what ever name you want to place on staying at the same weight for multiple weeks .  I am pretty sure it is because I am not exercising, since my calorie intake is pretty much the same. . .well, and I am not getting in my 100 grams of protein.  I know that makes a difference, and I am supposed to be drinking 2-3 protein shakes a day, and though I like the ones I have (GNC Lean Shakes) the idea of drinking one just makes me gag now. . .obviously its a mental thing. 

I'm not exercising because I am having a big problem with the arthritis in my lower back, right hip and knee.  I am struggling to even get up the stairs at my 2nd job.  I am gimping around when ever I stand up and walk so my PCP said to stop exercising until this "flare up" settles down.  She wants me to go see an Orthopedic doc. . .oh joy.  I am not trying to have any steroid shots, oweeeee!!!!  I just had to get x-rays done to make sure it wasn't bone on bone, which thankfully it isn't; though I think it may be time for some arthritis meds. . .any suggestions?  I keep hearing that Cymbalta is good.  I am going to mention it to my Neuro doc when I go for my appt tomorrow (migraines and daily headaches, oh joy).

I swear, though I am much healthier now than before the surgery, I am starting to feel that the more weight I lose, the worse I feel lol.  Getting older sucks 

Anywho, on a positive note, I am still in the 11/12 skinny jeans, though they are starting to fall off my nonexistent butt heh heh heh. . .though I can't quite get into the 9/10 yet.  I got a few pairs of regular 10s on and can almost get them buttoned  I am VERY happy about that. . .now, if my belly would just go down more I'd be in heaven. . oh yeah, and my thighs. . .of course if I could exercise, that would certainly help!!!!!!
