Ahhh - it's a new day, and I think I'm getting my mojo back at last! :)
I'm back to not sleeping again, even with the Melatonin or any OTC sleep aids. I've about decided that this is how it's going to be for a while, so might as well figure out a way to work around it. I've gotten a lot doing between 2-3 a.m. the last few nights, and just try to schedule my least important projects to coincide with when the fatigue is the worst!
Stepped up on the scale this morning for the first time in a couple of days, and am up 1.8 lbs more than the allowed 2 lbs over the LIW weight (in other words, 3.8 lbs over LIW!), so I really need to get after it and get back to where I need to be before starting injections again on Saturday. I don't foresee that being a problem, and began by having a little piece of salmon for breakfast this morning, and will probably have the same for lunch and dinner. Hopefully the scale will show a difference tomorrow, and I can get on with preparations for loading.
This morning, I started re-reading my Blog from the very beginning - mostly so that I could go in and edit and add labels for each post. However, there was an unexpected benefit from doing all of that reading - it made me sort of "re-live" what I've gone through thus far, and made me realize just how GOOD things are, and how well this protocol has gone this round! Certainly, there have been a few setbacks, but all in all, I should be singing and dancing to be this much lighter this quickly!
And that's why I say I have my "mojo" back - I needed an attitude adjustment and am thankful that I was able to find it within myself. All in all, I would count that as a pretty good day, wouldn't you?
