| So I didn't get a chance to comment on how my meds went down yesterday so I'll do it now.. We were in the car headed to my hometown when I took it. This time I didn't really have a problem with chest tightening or my throat getting tight, but boy did I feel sick! I don't know if it's because we were in a moving vehicle or what. But otherwise, nothing bad! I'm wondering if the first few days was because my body was getting used to it. I guess we'll see... Unfortunately, once we left my parent's house last night, my throat got really sore. This morning, it's even worse. Last night I had a lot of phlegm in my throat and my dad said something about my sinus' might be draining, so either that is causeing my sore throat, or I'm getting a sinus infection. I'm hoping it's just the drainage causing it, because everyday I work this week, I'm at the drive-thru branch. That'd be kinda difficult for people to hear me if I lost my voice, like I always do with a sinus infection! I'm planning on trying to soothe it today with herbal teas and such, but I'm really wary to take any medications until I can call my dr tomorrow and find out what I can take while on Phentermine. So, I'll just baby it today, lol. I'll probably have another post this afternoon, so Good luck to all you Sparkers out there! | | |
| No worries about not sleeping last night! I went to bed around 12. That was later than I wanted to, but I went ahead and set my alarm for 8 am. That way I could still get 8 hrs of sleep. I ended up waking up once around 3 am when our paper hit our house, but fell back to sleep instantly! Then at 7:33 am I woke up. I went ahead and got up because I was starting to get uncomfortable staying in bed. Seven and a half hours is still good.
I weighed myself after I got up. There was no change this morning, but I'm ok with that. I did have a cheeseburger and french fries last night so I'm not surprised. At least I didn't gain anything!
Weighed~~~~215.2, no change from yesterday
Total Lost~~~4 lbs

| It's so nice to not have to work tomorrow. But it's even better when you don't have to work for four days in a row! Not sure how I managed it, but fine with me!
So today was the first day that I took my meds while at work. It didn't affect my performance any, but I did have the same symptoms I've been having. My throat didn't feel tight as long though, so maybe that's a good sign. Like maybe my body is working on getting adjusted to it. I have been shaky all day long, but I think part of that is because I didn't sleep well. I didn't drink as much water today either, so I'm trying to make up for it now. I only have to drink like one or two more glasses and then I've met my goal. I'm looking forward to weighing myself tomorrow. I think after this initial week I'm going to cut back to maybe one or two weigh in's a week.
I took one of my earrings out. It just wasn't healing quickly enough for me, plus whenever I hugged anyone, it had a tendency of getting hurt. So I took it out, and now it has a nice big bubble on it. It's not that noticeable, but since I know it's there it's bugging me!
I'm definitely tired tonight. Pray that I sleep well all night long! Goodnight everyone, and good luck!

| I haven't taken my meds yet, since I'm supposed to take them at 3 PM but I wanted to update my weight and side effects. I didn't sleep any but maybe 2-3 hours last night. I don't know if it had to do with my medicine or if I was too tired to sleep. I haven't slept a good night's sleep in a loooooonnnngggg time. I think it really is time for new mattresses. I have felt a little shaky this morning also. I don't know what to do to change that though, I've already eaten some oatmeal, peaches and white grape pomegranate juice for breakfast this morning, so I know it isn't me being hungry. I never did have dinner last night. I had some sugar free jello pudding when I got home last night at like 8 and that was it. Well, gotta get ready for work. I'll update this evening about how I'm feeling after taking my meds.
Weighed~~~~215.2~~~~~-1.6 lbs

| Hayley and I went to Bouncertown with our friends Megan and her son Jeremiah. Jeremiah is only 3 months younger than Hayley so they get along well. I'm worn out though! That place is big, and Hayley is fast! I'm sure I got at least 40 minutes in of walking! I was constantly chasing Hayley back and forth, but she really enjoyed herself so I wouldn't trade it for the world. We got a family pack which came with a large pizza. I felt bad though because Hayley had one piece and I had none! My meds completely killed my appetite tonight. Hayley learned how to put tokens into game machines tonight. And after I gave her some she would say "Thank you Mom." It was sooo cute. I get so excited whenever she says the littlest thing. I know getting her into speech therapy will help tons! Welp, I do believe this is my last blog for tonight. Talk to you tomorrow! | | |
