Day 18
Starting this post late afternoon. I am most eager for the conclusion of the workweek. I got late starts all week -- today being the worst by far. I am a little burned out after working three nights after dinner. I need: A weekend.
Time for a wedge pillow update: So far, I like it. I haven't had any particular problems adjusting to it. I'm not sure it's magically fixed all my issues but I'm certain it hasn't hurt. I have had sound sleeps this week and it feels like the reflux symptoms are diminishing. Now what I'd *really* like to do is get a new mattress as well. Current one is 15+ years old and has taken a lot of abuse in its time. A new one is not in the budget, I'm afraid, though I might go look at some closeouts.
Another ongoing challenge is dealing with leg and foot cramps. That's an issue that first cropped up for in 2006 -- I got one for the first time while on vacation. Had no idea what it was or what to do. Since then they haven't been a regular problem but I have had one from time to time. I had them a couple nights last week. To counter that I've been taking a potassium supplement for a few days. Hopefully that will help. I'm thinking about switching to something with magnesium in it as well or possibly a multivitamin ... if it doesn't present a problem with other medication. I'm NOT getting enough fruits and vegetables. I know that and will continue to try and improve in that area. It's a process.
Breakfast: 2 slices sharp cheddar, 4 oz V-8
Lunch: 9 Meijer frozen meatballs
I really hope to have some inspiration to cook this weekend. I can make meatballs that are tastier than the frozen, precooked ones and won't have any soy or TVP.
Dinner: Pizza bowl with 6 meatballs, pepperoni, diced ham, bacon, mushrooms, green olives, mozzarella cheese and spaghetti sauce with sausage, onion, peppers.
Lots of calories, so-so on taste. Would have been better with fewer ingredients.
Also had a glass of wine, same red as last week.
