One Foot In Front Of The Other

My day did not start as I had hoped. I woke up about 4:30 am with severe nausea. I didn't get much sleep after that and the nausea didn't resolve until about 7 pm. So, plans for the day changed. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to stay home and rest on days I am not feeling well.

This morning my weight was 262.8, down another 4.8 pounds. I knew I was retaining water but WOW!!!!! That is a loss of 10.2 pounds in two days. My blood sugar this morning was 116, blood pressure 148/86 and pulse 71. The blood pressure is getting better. I stayed within my calorie budget for the day eating 1,566 calories. I only had 3 servings of fruits and vegetables today and I need to double that amount. I won't be surprised if I am up a little in weight tomorrow as I had popcorn for a late night snack.

With battling the nausea, I postponed working in the kitchen today. I just wasn't up to it. I did however work on some decluttering in my bedroom so the bed was handy for me to rest when needed. It took me a while but I am happy with my progress today.

Before - Corner of my bedroom that has exploded with stuff

After - much better and easier to maintain

 

I am not sure right now what tomorrow will bring but I would really like to have my kitchen sink empty, shiny and usable without having to move dishes first. That may be my goal as well as getting the sheets changed.

Until tomorrow.....
