Not too shabby for not doing a whole lot. I totally cut out soda, increased my water intake dramatically. And almost totally cut out sweet treats & junk food. I am also trying really hard to get in some kind of exercise every day, however my fibromyalgia is playing heck with that. On that note i talked to my primary doctor yesterday (when i went in for yet another cold, argh) and she also has fibromyalgia, which is great because a lot of doctors don't "believe" it exists. Anyway she is switching one of my meds for a different one to see if it will help me #1 sleep better and #2 get some relief from my current fibro flare up. She also gave me a referral to a physical therapist, Carthage has one that is doing a reflexology type thing with trigger points and she's heard good things about it and is actually going to be trying it herself.
So hopefully that will help. I have to contact my insurance and make sure they will cover it of course first.
Had to cancel my sleep study on Sunday night because of the weather, i rescheduled it for Feb 14th, so i guess i'm spending my Valentine's night with a stranger sort of, LOL.
One last thing to share, i found a way to enjoy pizza without it being super bad for me. I bought Arnold Sandwich thins (i got them at Walmart, they might have them other places), i bought the multigrain ones but they had other flavors. I put just a bit of pizza sauce on and a small sprinkle of cheese. You could top with just about anything you like on pizza. This way it's whole wheat/grains in the crust and with just a bit of cheese and maybe some veggies it's pretty darn low in fat too, as each Sandwich thin contains only 1 gm fat. That's all for now....
