Back on board with the barf brew and dirt shake. Took TG weekend off. I am not sure if it is doing anything for the hair loss-still too early to tell. However, I love what it has done for my energy level-I take it when I feel the afternoon slump approaching and it really perks me up. Also, my innards work a lot better when I take it. After this weekends carb load, I really needed something to get the pistons firing again!
Yesterday was a quiet day-had stomach issues and lots of joint pain-mistakenly (hmm I wonder?) took Tylenol PM instead of the regular and ended up beached for 4 hrs or so...I tried to keep going and it was impossible to focus or maintain my balance. I have never taken two tablets before-whoa!
My recently widowed (oh how I hate that word) sister is arriving Wednesday for a week. I have not seen her since September-the week her husband died. I am really looking forward to having her in my sights. I worry so much about her and feel very helpless. I hope she will find some peace here. We are both mad for the ocean and she can walk to the beach easily. Now the weather must cooperate. We have not seen the sun in days....
I am going to help her go lower carb (I found a low carb market close by-cannot wait to check it out) and we will spend the week eating healthy and being active. She has to lose a lot of weight and she seems really ready to do it. I have asked her to join this site-I hope she will.
I am going to try to journal everyday during this time-the holidays are difficult-stress of work-have to figure out corporate gifts and do yr. end accounting, etc. My business is also moving to a new building (ugh)! In addition, I tend to get very sad-stressed and sad = binge eating (or used to). I am determined to deal with it in a less destructive way. Maybe drink more or take up smoking? HAHA!

Uh, how about exercise as a way to cope! ;) NOT drinking and smoking, you naughty thing. I think being with you will really do your sister good. I hope she joins FS - tell her she'll have instant buddies! Oh, and congratulations on finding the silver lining to your unappealing drinks!

Hey there Densible.. Your descriptions and word pictures crack me up!!! Glad to hear that your sister is coming, I hate the feeling of helplessness, and I have definately been there! I hope the two of you have some fun, the grieving process is a B*^(^!! Love Amry's idea of exercise as a stress reducer.. It definately helps me out a lot. I get mad, I walk, tick me off again, i'll walk faster and longer!! It appears that your spirits are high and it's very funny.

Im glad that dirt shake and barf brew have some redeeming features! Funny taking the nite time formula in the day time!! Now your sister is coming to visit and that should be good for you both. Family is so important!! You will have company for your walks along the beach that can actually carry on a conversation (Im not sure the beast is capable of that yet). Are you and your sister a lot alike?? just wondering how it will be with "two of you" here... should make for good times! I like having my daughter on here, it's another way to keep in contact and get healthy at the same time.
