Tuesday night...

It's been a tough few days, I gotta say...

I broke my aspartame fast. I just wasn't feeling any benefits from it, and so on day #8 I had a Coke Zero and some sugarless gum. Those are the two main things I have with aspartame anyway, so it seemed fitting to break it with those...

Work has been pretty stressful. I seem to be falling apart, physically. You've heard of "tennis elbow"? Well, apparently I have "mouse finger"...which sounds a lot more fun than it is. I think I've developed arthritis in my right index finger, and it is swollen and very painful and stiff. They've given me a different mouse to use at work, which is forcing me to use the other fingers of my hand and not just the index finger. It has slowed me down a lot, though, which is stressful in itself.

I'm on again-off again with being ultra strict on the carbs. And I know that's not the way to lose weight. Somehow I've lost a few more pounds, but I sure don't know how...just grace, I imagine.

I'm so sorry about your finger. I have arthritis in a couple of mine and they are already misshapen. I hope that doesn't happen to you.
CONGRATES one the lost weight... how cool is that?
I'm still struggling, but I'll find my way eventually.

Mine is definitely bigger at the knuckle than any of the other fingers...yuck! I hope it goes back to normal...

Thanks, my good friend, I know you will find your way. You're doing great; you're my hero.

Well we had the first of the painters out today. Do you know how hard it is to pick a color when you have 3 adult women trying to agree? giggle

Okay, I'm cracking up just imagining it...good luck on picking out the right color, my friend!
