Oh ouch.

.

Not a terrible grouping of pains, just little bits here and there.  Mostly telling me I have been working.  Always a good thing, as I see things.  Pain is an indicator.  It is also the negotiating agent between your will and your body.  The will, sometimes, wants to do things the body will find difficulty carrying out.  In this case, I understand the pain.  Actually the body does too.  When 'both' of us understand, and are on board, I don't end up doing nothing because of a split decision.  Now, today, as yesterday, and probably on through the week, is a day of rest.  That does not, as has been shown, mean that I will do nothing.  It means that I won't create grandiose lists of epic things to do.  I will simply relax.  If I see a task, and think I can tackle it, I will.  If not, then I won't.

There are many things to do.  Dishes, laundry, changing the reverse osmosis filters, making a new batch of beef broth, cooking a meal, boiling eggs for the longer haul, doing some cleaning here, or there.  Lots and lots of things.  And... I may or may not do any of them.  Or I may do them all and more.  I have noticed that, when you clear an area, even a small one, and clean it?  Then you notice the rest of the area(s).  Bleh.  Yes, much to do.

The aches and pains are not what they had been.  I think that was a phase as... something was being sorted in my body.  Probably related to going back on the water pill and maybe ramping up potassium intake in all the forms in which it was being added.  No, these aches and pains come from grabbing a full heavy bag of trash, all but ripping it out of the container in a rush to get it and the others out to the bin, and the bin to the curb, before the trash man cometh.  Some tasks I did quickly, harshly, though not angrily... just about to run out of steam or feeling under other time pressures, trying to finish, so pushing.  These are all physical, that I can tell, or more muscular and skeletal.  If you have ever been athletic, you know that feel.  And, if you still have any inclination toward it, as I still do despite all, you will enjoy those aches and pains.

Not up until late.  It was nearly 8:30?  Something.  Being that I didn't weigh in yesterday, I did that right after voiding for the morning.  Right at 264.  Up a few pounds.  Still, surprising.  I really thought, this time, for sure, I would be pretty much back up.  Not wanting that, just... yeah.  Fasting blood sugar was 225, so.  *sigh*  If this week goes even a quart as yesterday, sometime in it or next Monday I will be back to fasting.

Good day.
