Apparently I've been gone for 38 days. I didn't realize it had been that long, but Fat Secret doesn't lie. Neither does the scale, which says I've gained 2.2 pounds. That's actually not bad, given the circumstances.
I dropped off a week to go to New Hampshire for a spiritual retreat. While I was there I ate great, walked a ton, recorded everything in a notebook I carried with me. But the day after I got home, I came down with the flu and ended up in bed for a week. I lived on popsicles and Lipton chicken noodle soup for a week. The day after I started feeling better, I developed bronchitis. And not mild bronchitis--the doctor said I was halfway to pneumonia. I was in bed for another two weeks.
Now I'm struggling with depression, which has been part of my life since my early teens. I'm cranky. I'm listless. I want to spend all day in bed at a time when I really need to be getting a lot of work done. I don't want to eat anything besides sweets and milk. I've been in touch with my doctor and we're taking action. But it's still rough waiting for the meds to kick in.
Meanwhile, I'm going on a cleanse. My boyfriend and I are living hunter-gatherer style this week. Nothing but fresh fruits, fresh veggies, and fresh meats for seven days. We're cleansing ourselves of dairy and grains (my body isn't a big fan of grains), as well as aspertame, refined sugar, and coffee. We can have caffein, as long as it's in the form of tea; this is likely to lead to both of us drinking a lot less caffein. We'll see how it goes.
