Feeling some better but getting tired of feeling bad. Trying to not be such a wimp but I’m sore from all this coughing and sneezing that I’m doing. My body aches all over and I can’t seem to get comfortable. I’m trying to rest and I’ve already canceled several activities that I’ve been planning for months. I will be trying to go to work on Sunday for a couple of hours if I feel like it.

After my appointment with my oncologist I spent some time renewing an old friendship with a young lady from my past. I had seen that she was in town for a few days and I called her up to see if she wanted to meet for some coffee. She was elated to hear from me. We met at a local coffee shop where we talked for over two hours. I drank so much coffee I think it will be sometime next week before I get any sleep.
It’s amazing how time gets away from you. I had no idea that it had been ten years since I’d seen her. We had so much to talk about but so little time to catch up. She had to hurry on to catch a flight back to where she’s now living. It was really good to be able to spend what little time I had with her today. I’m hoping that it won’t be another ten years before I get a chance to see her again.

I have an oncologist appointment tomorrow afternoon. All I’m going to do is give some blood so that they can do some more blood work to find out why my BCR abl has shot back up. Afterwards I’m going to have some much deserved ME time. Right now I’m fighting off a cold and I’ve got a sore throat and some congestion. I think I’ve caught my daughter’s cold. If I’m not much better tomorrow I may be spending my me time at the doctor’s office.

Final day of my month long attempt to really hit it hard and see just how much weight I could lose in a month. I did really well to begin with. That’s the way it always goes isn’t it? You do so well at the beginning but you falter and spiral downward uncontrollably. November is really not a good month to try and diet, neither is December with all the holidays in the month.
I really just confirmed facts that I already knew. 1) I can not lose weight just by dieting alone. 2) I can not depend on the amount of walking I do at work (an average of 6 miles or more a day) to count as daily exercise. 3) If I stop exercising on a daily basis my weight will return, even when I stay on my diet. There is something else that I’ve learned during this month. I will not give up. I have too much to live for right now and I have to get my weight down no matter what.

Movie night on the big screen. Our power flickered several times then when out for a split second and our TV didn’t seem to like it. The bulb exploded. Made such a loud boom and stunk up the house quite a bit afterwards. Now worries though because I ordered a new bulb from Amazon and it should be here by Tuesday.
We watched Mom’s Day out which, for the most part, was filmed right here in Birmingham, Alabama. I pulled out my projector and big screen that I use to do power points on. It was fun to sit and watch some of the scenes play out as I’m trying to figure out where the scene was filmed at. Growing up in Birmingham, I knew where most of it was filmed at. It was funny though to see a Pelham police car chasing people in downtown Birmingham.
We had seen the movie in the theater when it first came out but I was glad to see that my wife bought the DVD for us to watch it tonight. I think I laughed just as much then as I did tonight. If you haven’t watched it I would recommend that you do. It’s pretty funny I think.
Did not get on the treadmill tonight. I really think I over did it when I was doing it every night. I might try it every other night for not and see how my foot reacts to it.

After spending over an hour on my treadmill today I got another four miles in. My right foot is not doing so good right now. Looks like I’ll be doubling up on my neuropathy meds tonight to try and head the pain off for tomorrow.
I’m back on the diet today as well. Actually, I did really well today with all the leftovers in the house. Maybe I can concentrate on losing more weight without any holidays or birthday gatherings between now and Christmas.

Happy the day after Thanksgiving. I decided yesterday that with all this food around me that there was no way I was going to be able to resist and stay on my diet. I was correct. On both days I had every intentions to watch what I ate but it didn’t take long to realize that I was in trouble. I should’ve known better than to diet around the holidays. Anyway, there’s always tomorrow.
