Back to Work Tomorrow - Can't Sleep

Oct 22, 2014

After 2 weeks, I finally head back to work tomorrow. I'm ready since I've been so bored and mopey here at home. I feel good, but yesterday threw me for a loop. I was having more episodes of "visual disturbances" which lead me to schedule an appointment with my PCP. After talking about my stress levels she said it may be ocular migraines, but I need to get to an ophthalmologist to make sure there's nothing wrong with my eyes. By the time I left her, I felt more calm and I could see better again. I really do think that it's anxiety.  I think my body is a little pissed I'm not eating to calm it down. Doc offered me Xanax, but I don't want to trade in one crutch for another. I bit the bullet and set up an appointment with a counselor on Monday. I'm going to beat this the right way.

When I got home from the PCP, I thought I was going to drop my stuff off and head back to the grocery store for some Week 3 food. But I live in the Northeast and the wind right now nearly blew the door off my Jeep and promptly turned my umbrella inside out. Yeah... no... I went inside and stayed there. So no scrambled eggs for me tomorrow. Since I am going to work and don't want to be sick from rejecting new food, I'm going to start the day with Protein shakes and have cream of wheat for dinner. That way I can heave in peace.

As I've been awake for the past 3 hours, I took the time to order some fitness dvds. I bought Les Mills Combat from ebay, a Yoga for Stress Relief, and some Ballet Beautiful dvds from Amazon. I've done Les Mills classes at the gym before and really liked them. My legs were strongest when I took dance in high school. So, I'm excited about my purchases. I am released to exercise as of next Thursday. With the weather right now, I'm not doing a lot of walking so I think this should be a good plan for the upcoming polar vortex.

Since today marks the end of my second week, I did weigh myself and saw the scale inch down a bit. Funny thing is, I don't trust it. I'll give it a couple days and see if it stays down.

Well, let's try this sleep thing again. Until next time...
