Good morning... It's another bright sunny day in my corner of the world; how about yours?
There hasn't been a whole lot going on in my life lately. I've still been trying to get over this eye injury, which I think I've just about got whipped. I saw my eye doctor again on Friday and he says the scratch on my cornea is "almost" healed (I thought it almost healed the Friday before... lol). The problem now is that I'm still having blurry vision in that eye but he says it often takes the vision time to catch up with the healing. He wants to see me again in 2 weeks and if my vision is still blurry, they'll do further vision tests to see if the accident did more damage to my sight than they think or if my vision has simply changed and I need a new prescription for my glasses.
It has been a couple of years since I've had an eye exam so it *is* possible that my vision was getting "fuzzy" in that eye to begin with and I simply hadn't realized it.
One good thing to come of all this is that we've learned that I have cataracts in both eyes that they tell me will have to come out sometime next year... that's kind of a nice thought because it means I'll get new lenses in my eyes and might be able to do away with wearing glasses... That would be really different, as I've worn glasses since I was 16 yrs old after I failed the eye exam when I went to take the test for my very first driver's license!! No, I didn't get my license until after I got glasses and could pass the test... lol
So, moving right along... :-) Friday after I saw my doctor, I met a good friend for my birthday lunch; it was late (the birthday lunch), but hey, she works, so better late than never and she brought me some great gifts... lol!! I ate really well, sticking with a small bowl of soup and 1/2 sandwich. I should have done a salad instead of the sandwich, though, because I no longer do well, eating bread and this wasn't just "bread"; it was like a small loaf cut in half. Actually, that's a bit of an exaggeration - it was like a hoagie bun, but it seemed like there was a lot more bun than there were goodies.
inside it... :-)
All of that said, I was down a pound from last week until I went to lunch on Friday - that helped put the kibosh on everything... My husband and I went out to lunch yesterday and I had salad bar, with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, chopped boiled egg, cottage cheese, with a side of chicken, which was not bad at all. Last night, I did eat some licorice, which is another of my forbidden passions because it makes me swell up like a balloon.
All of that means - this morning, I'm up 1.8 lbs from last week. Wow, it blew my mind when I stepped on the scale and saw that... I knew I felt bloated, even after we'd gone to a large market yesterday and walked around for about an hour, plus I went out for a walk last night, etc but I had no idea I would be THAT bloated!!
I actually started not to post that increase, as I'm positive it will be down later today once all that bread and licorice get out of my system (yes it takes days for bread to go through :-( ), but it wouldn't be fair/honest if I didn't because that *is* my weigh-in weight. We'll see what happens later...
Okay - that's me and my story; what's going on in your world and how are you doing with your journey? We're waiting to hear all juicy details...
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
