Day 22
Posted 10-02-2008 at 11:00 AM by Eclipse
Whoo! Hoo! I am feeling really great right now. I have not had a drink for 22 day and can honestly say that I do not miss it at all. I took a big whif of the hubbys beer last nite and it smelled good, but I had no desire to take even a sip.
I have been really sleepy the last week and have a hard time getting anything done past 9:30 at night. I have finally been sleeping hard all night. I wake up around 5:30 in shock that the night is over already. Used to be up and down all night with massive anxiety.
I went to the doctor yesterday for a month check up since I am on Lexapro. I have lost 10 lbs. since then, My BP was 118/70, last time I was there it was 150/95. I have been doing lots of walking. I have decided I need to do some weight bearing/sit up kind of stuff too. So I think I will walk on MWF and do other stuff on the other days.
The doctor had me get some blood tests this morning to check liver/kidneys, cholesterol, and she mentioned vit d. She encouraged me to take calcium with Vit D. I hate to swallow pills, so I went to Costco and got some that are chewy and taste like tootsie rolls...that I can deal with!
I am a little stressed with Amanda's grades. She is a junior in HS and has so much potential, but is not motivated at all in school. She has 2 "A"s, 2 "C"s and 2 "F"s. I just don't get it. The more we hound her the worse things become. She has the potential to get an athletic scholarship in school, but that won't happen with her grades at this point. She's in driver's training and we told her no license without a "B" average. Hard to deal with and was a huge trigger in the past to my drinking.
