Day 17: Thursday, Sept. 18 Assessment and Foot Update AND Sept. 19 Weight

So today wasn’t bad at all! Here’s how I did:

Weight: 127.5 (Friday, Sept. 19)
Calories: 1,287 (Thursday, Sept. 18)
Fat Grams: 41 (Thursday, Sept. 18)
Carbs: 166 (Thursday, Sept. 18)

My calories, fat and carbs were all in the rec zone! Yay! My fat is never in the rec zone so that’s good.

What I ate Today

“Gym”: I was able to do a great upper body strength routine! I was too drowsy from my meds to get to abs though – boo.

Overall assessment: it was a good day! I can tell my pills are making me weak though (i.e. very tired, hungry, carb-craving, drowsy, etc.). Which sucks on the losing-weight end but is great on the foot end. My foot’s swelling has gone down SIGNIFICANLTY. I can even kind of walk on it – but not normally yet because the swelling still has it a little deformed…. I’m hoping by Sunday I’ll be good to go! Wish me luck… I’m still taking it easy and being very diligent with the pills. And random – they think it’s gout. How incredibly odd. Gout is for old, men, not 26-year-old females! I’ll let you know when they know for sure….
