Stabilization: Day 3

Today the weight is unchanged, still 1# up from the LIW. Not feeling sick anymore after eating.

I like Maintenance way better than Stabilization, mostly because it again increases the variety (and takes away almost all hassle). At that time I can have cured meats, which makes my routine of having chef salads for lunch semi-daily feasible again.

Feeling kinda :( this morning. Mark and Anna went up to the Dosewallips river to go fishing. I didn't get to go (health reasons). I must remind myself this is why I'm having my 10th (big) surgery--if you count "procedures" I'm up around two dozen--maybe more (just take me behind the barn and shoot me). The weight loss has done nothing for my pain problems (too bad when I tell this to my dad, I get a blank face and a nonsensical reply). My weight is a symptom of my health issues--not the cause of them (damn it!).

My thoracic problem is flared up, as is my back, so working on the projects I want will be problematic. It seems everybody I know is busy, so frankly, I'm feeling lonely. That's kind of a rarity for me, and it sucks.

Ah, well. Time to take it like a man and go clean the house. I want the house to be nice when they get home and hopefully I can get a few items crossed off my to-do list.
