Thursday Sept 12/13 Day 6
I got up around 10 am this morning & took Abby a walk to the park & back. Had to sit on a bench halfway through our walk, for just a few mins, for my aching legs. Those muscles that haven't done this much exercise for ages are rebelling!! It must have taken us almost an hour. Had 2 sl ww toast, becel, hard boiled egg on it with lettuce & some cucumber slices on the side. For the afternoon, I vacuumed & washed the rest of my floors & cleaned both bathrooms & did two loads of laundry. I was sweating like crazy when I got in the shower at 4pm. Gene & I were invited to our son Brian's & daughter -in-law, Angela for supper. Before supper Gene & I took our youngest grand-daughters to their local park. The girls are ages 3 & 19 mths. So we had a great time pushing them on swings & catching them coming down the slides. So a little extra exercise for me. However, I always pay for picking the girls up as it's so hard on my lower spine. But I know they won't be little for long, our other grand-children are all grown up, our eldest grand-daughter is married already. So I can't stop picking up the little ones.
For supper, Brian BBQ'd farmer style sausage & Angela grilled pyrogies on an electric griddle with some butter. I had 3 pcs of sausage, about 12 pyrogies! & approx 1 c of baked beans.
We came home around 9pm & I was having some cravings or even a little hunger. But I really want to stop the night-time eating, so I just drank some iced tea.
I found I was really tired around 10pm & I knew if I started getting ready for bed, wash, brush my teeth etc, that I would be wide awake. So I didn't do any of those things, I just took my 1/2 glass of orange juice into the bedroom & went to bed. Unfortunately I did not sleep. My back is really painful so at midnight I took a muscle relaxant. I still wasn't asleep at 1.15am, so I got up, dressed & walked on the treadmill for just 15 mins. That helped a little, but not enough. So I sat downstairs with my feet elevated & the heating pad on my back. That helped quite a bit. Tomorrow afternoon is massage therapy.
It's now 3.30am & I'm just finishing typing this entry. I took a sleeping pill at 2am, hoping now that I'll get some sleep.
