Friday

And it appears that things are getting back on track.  I got a full night's sleep last night - exhaustion is a powerful force - and am down to 152.4 this morning. My fingers are still a bit swollen, but everything else seems to be better.

Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• 3 links turkey sausage
  
• 7 strawberries
  
• fat-fast broccoli soup
  
• lamb burger (1/3 pound)
  
• a few tomato slices
  
• a few potato chips
  
• 2 pieces of cheese
  
• a handful of raspberries (they're inundating us at the moment)
  
• 3 salted dark-chocolate almonds
  
• another tea with cream
  

That worked out to:

• 135 g fat (71%)
  
• 40.7 g carbs (10%)
  
• 81.3 g protein (19%)
  

We even got a walk in last night - just a short one, but getting back into the routine is key. I'm planning on driving to the golf course with Lee tomorrow and walking home, to get a good solid walk in. 

In order to get sleep last night, I took the "big" (10 mg) melatonin; I need to get some smaller dose ones that are not time-release, because the time-release ones wake me up - or don't sustain sleep past about midnight on the first blast. They're weird.

Hot flashes continue, a little heavier than in the past weeks, but not to the point of being a real problem - yet. I've learned not to expect things to stay the same with this crap.
