179.6 Lots of Little Things

I was rereading some of my posts today while I was looking for the one about too much quinine water. Now I'm wondering if the quinine was the cause of my tingly face and numb thumb. It's been suggested to me that maybe the cause of my recent rash, tingling, numb thumb issues may be shingles! Tomorrow I'm heading back to my doctor to figure this out.

But as I was reading some of the posts, I was thinking that this blog is as much a reflection of my moods as it is about my weight. Hmmmm!

So how did our date go yesterday? Halfway through the movie Tree of Life Jeff developed a horrendous migraine headache. The movie was pretty intense and upsetting so I was glad to leave before the end of it. So, we headed straight home without going to a new restaurant that I had chosen from a list of seven top Scottsdale restaurants. You know, you can plan and think you are going to have a great time and most of the time you do. Yesterday wasn't one of those times.

178.8 Unexpected Fatness!

Is everyone as moody as I am? I just read my last post and wonder where that person disappeared to. My down mood isn't really reflective of seeing that number on the scale today - that is scary and upsetting - but rather that number is reflective of my mood. Lots of things are weighing heavily on my mind right now and I need to get a grip and realize that this is temporary and that I can regain my weight loss and my good spirit. I also have to knock off drinking wine. This trip was full of wine drinking triggers and I thought I could get away with it. Obviously, just as I've written many times, I can't. The wine equals freedom to eat what/all I want and so that's that.

We did have a good time. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and often startling, revealing itself as we turned a corner or started down after climbing several hundred feet up a curving highway. Just thinking about these sights makes me feel better.
