Day 3 of REST: Well on the plus side I haven't gained any weight (even with going close to eating all my RDI yesterday. Took my dog just for a potty walk to see how my legs are doing. My foot seems to be much better. Minor twinges of soreness occasionally but nothing constant like the first few days. My lower back is sore from not moving about as much. Leg muscles burned and felt tight so I am thinking I may need a day 4 of REST.
Today should be very sedentary. Planning on going to the movies with my husband and out to dinner to celebrate a family member's birthday. oh..that reminds me, must gift wrap gift and get card.
Yesterday's calories seemed to almost get out of hand. LOL that is what I get for letting my husband "cook" lunch. YUCK, Franks and Beans: Take hot dogs, slice them, add them to canned baked beans and heat. Serve. The hot dogs were 45 calories (Hebrew national 97% fat free) and for 1/2 cup of the beans it was about 180 calories. My husband served me about 1 cup of beans (he actually served me more but I removed a bunch). I normally don't eat that unhealthy (lots of sugar in beans) especially after a big breakfast.
Another thing I noticed was that I didn't get as tired yesterday as the previous days. This morning though, I could have slept for another hour. I crave coffee all day long. No idea what is up with that. I normally am good with my one cup in the morning. Must research this.
Anyway, time to start the day.
From one site: Coffee or tea craving possible deficiencies: Phosphorus: can get in chicken, beef, liver, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts and legumes. Sulfur: can get in egg yolks, red peppers, muscle protein, garlic, onions, cruiferous vegetables. Salt: Sea salt, apple cider vinegar (on salad) Iron: Meat, fish, poultry, seaweed, greens, black cherries. Well, going to have eggs, potatoes and bread for breakfast. See how that helps. Yes..and coffee

When you crave caffeine you need a painkiller
Let's say you've exhausted the painkilling power of ginger and moved on to manufactured painkillers. If one of them doesn't get the job done, reach for a cup of coffee. Caffeine doesn't just cause headaches via withdrawal. It's been shown to boost the power of painkillers, and stop migraines from setting in. In fact, while some health professionals warn people away from coffee, others say about two cups a day are good. The stuff can decrease both physical and emotional pain, since it's a mild stimulant that can decrease mild depression. Some studies show that it can actually help people sleep better, and get them on a better sleep cycle, since it's generally a regulated habit that can get someone up at a certain time every day. Basically, this isn't the devil-brew that many doctors make it out to be, which is why so many people crave the kick.
