I lost another 0.7 lbs. Not a huge loss, but one I can live with as it is a positive move. However, after the incident yesterday, I am ready for the meal replacement shakes.
In the mornings, I usually take all of my medications before eating breakfast. I figured breakfast would be a peanut butter and banana sandwich - about 400 calories. My morning conference call went over its allotted time due to development debate. I was pretty much annoyed with being put in a nasty position, but it comes with the job. Furthermore, I was having issues with some support person who could have handled the situation much better than he had. It was terribly annoying - I would open tickets to get access and he would close them by simply copying and pasting the Help Desk link. The link did not provide the information I really needed to know.
So, I got cleaned up to head into work, but I have, yet, another call to attend. That call goes longer than scheduled. In the end, I never got my breakfast and my blood sugar dropped down to 78. I had the shakes and was not functioning quite so well. I drank some coke and waited for 15 minutes.
I was going to have lunch with a co-worker, but those plans fell through and I had nothing for lunch. I could not experience another low like that at work. I figured I would go to Liberty Burger. I ordered a regular Liberty Burger with cheese and bacon, fries for my co-worker, and some onion rings.
The burger was good. However, the skinny fries were exactly like - shoestring fries and I am not a fan. Onion rings were huge, but while eating my lunch, I got a call that ended up annoying me more. A rescheduled event to take place on Friday had not been reserved as organized back in late April/early May. I spent an hour on the phone trying to get something acceptable or the money returned. I figured I would not get the money returned, but this was a huge faux pas - the event is next Friday and I was not happy.
So, I try to finish off my lunch, but cold onion rings are gross and the burger is not so great. Furthermore, I am sick to my stomach. The food I had eaten is just sitting there and it is not pleasant.
When I got home and completed making the dogs happy, we all went and laid down on the bed. I fell asleep for two hours and still did not want anything to eat. I finally ate leftover roasted potatoes, green beans and couscous around 11 PM. Honestly, I was seriously not hungry - I was more sick with the burger and onion rings.
So, next week, I welcome the return to the meal replacement shakes. At least, I can get the nutrients I need and pack fruit and veggies to snack. Much better than those onion rings. Blech!
Also, I have an appointment with the PCP to get a recheck. This chronic lower back and thigh/hip pain has got to go! It is really bringing me down and it hurts whenever I walk. That is not good.
