Day 2 back in the saddle.

No saddle sores. Check! No regrets. Check! Back to the gym day 2. Check! Living Low-Carb again - THANK HEAVENS! I feel so much better off carbs! Weight down, so here's to seeing Onederland again really soon! Persistence and dedication are the words I am living by, that and coffee cannot live without my coffee.

Day 7 of 10 on antibiotics for the ear infection pain disappeared at day 4 but hearing loss is persisting - keep hoping the now defined effusion will go away on it's own and I do not need it drained. It is not impossible just not the usual way of things from what I understand. Vertigo moments are less often so I am doing as much as I can without overdoing. All gym workout was recumbent bike or seated. Tried the inversion table but that instigated a bout of vertigo so no more inversion table until I get the ear cleared up. Bummer because that is one thing I really enjoyed winding down on.

Oh yeah and Christmas this year was the gift of Coffee and 10# of different types and flavors of coffee. THis morning I tried Dark Chocolate Decadence... OMW there's no one word that depicts the delight in this cuppa, well... decadence. SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD! I am going to go make another pot and just let that luscious flavor and heat of it soak in and make me feel better.

Gifting others with coffee instead of cookies is the perfect way to go.

At least the pain is gone, and you're sounding very positive, so I know you will succeed! Persistence and dedication, good words 😀

What is an inversion table? Do you lie on it up-side-down?

Great job getting back on the right eating path. The gift of different coffees is a great idea, I'll remember that next year.

Inversion table basically is a bench/table that pivots at its fulcrum and you strap in at your ankles and hang by them when you swing yourself up over the fulcrum using the side handles. I even do inverted crunches only about about a 1/3 or so because i am not yet strong enough to go further. Great on stretching out at the end of your workout relieves strain on your back but you need to be careful and have help learning to use one.

Mmm, coffee....I'm trying to get to the point where my evening treat is a good cup of coffee or tea, for the times I want something but I'm not really hungry. Thanks for the inspiration!

tonight it is oolong tea, warming and soothing. Less harsh on my stomach.

Essential oils can be helpful.
