Body Bug

Deanne Harding is a saint.
This calorie tracking stuff can be tricky, but hopefully it's going to get a bit easier when I get the Body Bug that Dee ordered for me tomorrow.  I'm wicked excited.  THANKS DEE!!!

I got an email from my mom yesterday saying Trudy, the woman I cat sit for, had gastric bypass surgery on the 5th.  Mom said I should talk to her about weight stuff since she piled on weight after her hysterectomy.  I told Mom I've been walking and counting calories, and that lap band won't be an option until I get my hysterectomy paid off.  I've only got 775 bucks left on that bitch.

I probably went over 2000 calories a day this weekend, but I walked for an hour last night.  I need to add weight training back in the mix to really kick my metabolism into gear.
After my walk last night my back hurt so bad.  It's such a piece of shit.  I did a little stretching but it kept locking up so I just gave up.  I keep wondering if some physical therapy could help, but I don't know how close I am to my deductible on my insurance, or if it would even be covered.  I'll have to talk to my doctor at my appointment on the 22nd.  Maybe she can give me some stretches to start off with, I don't know.
I need some pain killers, but there's got to be other things I can do.  I don't approve of the way my dad is so addicted to pain killers, but I can see how it would happen.  When my back and/or shoulder hurt I can't think, I can't concentrate, I just want the pain to go away and I'll do anything to make it stop.  If someone offers me a pain pill, doesn't matter what kind, I'll take it.  OTC shit doesn't work.  I was that way before my hysterectomy.  I'd do anything to make that nauseating pain go away.  I kept calling the doctor, asking for something stronger.  I didn't care if I was loopy,  as soon as it kicked in, I could take a deep breath and go about my business.  Nathan's been giving me his Darvocet, which I mentioned before.  I don't care if it's not my prescription.  It makes the pain stop.  I'm worried I'll come off as a drug seeker if I ask the doctor for something.  I don't want to be like my dad.  I guess all I can do is be totally honest with the doctor.  Same with the weight shit.
