Spent the morning not doing much. We worked on straightening some cords and eliminating extra ones behind the desk. Other than that it was a quiet day at home.
I had physical therapy this afternoon. They were busy and it felt a bit chaotic at the center today. They had me wear both tennis shoes and do some balancing exercises. I was able to do them easier today as compared to last week. I’ll take that as progress. My toe was a bit swollen and I didn’t think it was moving as well as it had been. All part of the healing process I guess.
We don’t have anything on our calendar for tomorrow. Jim has a long list of things he wants to work on. It is to be a bit warmer tomorrow so hopefully we can get outside and get some things done. We really need to get the storm windows back up before winter hits.
I slept for about three hours last night and than woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep until 7:00 this morning. Woke up at 8:30 and couldn’t sleep any more. Sure makes for a long night when I don’t sleep through.
I brought a couple paperback books with me this time. I finished one of them and am almost through a second one. I also started knitting another baby blanket yesterday so have that to work on when the mood hits for me to do so.
I feel like I have gained five pounds this week. Not sure if that is true or if I am just bloated. When I don’t wear my normal jeans I can’t gauge my size. Hope the jeans fit when I finally get back into them. I am not eating flour or sugar but am having trouble keeping portion size in check and have been snacking occasionally. My body has been telling me enough with the cheating. It really does function better when I stick to foods that it likes. Maybe the motivation to go back strictly on plan will find me soon.
I need to call and get a haircut for the time I am home next week. All of a sudden my hair has gotten long and unshapely and badly needs cut back into shape.
Feeling a bit better today. The last two days my energy level has been really low and I have felt like a slug. Had more energy today although I am tired tonight. I was starting to think I was coming down with something and am glad to realize I am not.
Grateful for physical therapy and my improving balance, grateful for quiet days at home and grateful to be feeling better today.
