Today was probably the worst day I've had in quite a while. I drank my water and had a healthy breakfast, but that's about it. My boss took me out to lunch; I ordered water to drink, but ate more than I really needed to. At dinner time Mrs. FogDog was not with it either, so we decided to get pizza. I had 3 slices.
When you were a kid did you ever get sent to your room to "think about what you've done"? That happened to me quite a bit. After dinner I was feeling kind of lazy, so I sent myself up to my room to think about what I did today. Of course anyone who has been following me for a while knows that my room is a construction zone right now. I had to apply leveling compound to my bathroom floor so I spent some time up there working and thinking about my day.
What's strange is that I really can't think of a reason why I did what I did today. I'm not tired, I'm not in a bad mood, there was nothing that made the day more stressful than yesterday. For some reason today I just caved in and didn't follow my plan. I finished my work upstairs and felt a little better but walked away still not knowing what caused me to fail today.
I don't feel guilty and there are no excuses. Today just simply happened. Thankfully it's almost over and I can get right back at it tomorrow.
Stay Strong!

Day #66 - What a Difference!
Last night I tried taking an Aleve PM to help me get through the night without waking due to joint pain. I could not believe the difference in how I felt this morning! I did wake up once in the nights with some knee pain but was able to fall right back asleep without it bothering me. I woke up this morning and I felt great! I can't remember the last time I felt so good. All the stiffness and soreness was gone.
I had read somewhere that joint pain and sleep can be a catch-22; you need good rest to help your joints to recover so the won't hurt, but the pain keeps you from getting the good rest. From how I felt this morning I have to agree
I bought both the Aleve and the Aleve PM. I figure I'll take the PM version when I really need some deep sleep and just the regular PM for the normal aches and pains. I like that it's 12 hour so it gets you through the night.
Anyway, from the remodel side, I finished installing the backer boards and I went out today and bought the tile. I'm all set to start tiling tomorrow; it's going to be a long day because I want to get it all done and let it all set for a day before grouting.
Though the remodel is going well, I didn't do so hot eating today. Usually when I'm home it's easy to stay on target because there's nothing but healthy food here, but today I made several trips out to the hardware store including once at 5:30PM. that was enough to convince my wife to stop and get pizza. I only had 2 slices so I guess that's something to hang my hat on, but I really should be avoiding that stuff altogether.
All in all it's been a decent week, but in terms of my mental state it's been a great week. I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that I absolutely hate my current job. Being out for a week has done wonders for my mental well-being, but the thought of going back to work on Monday makes my stomach turn. Mrs FogDog and I agreed that we would fix our health situation first before moving again, so I have a little more motivation. If I want to get out of here, I'll have to meet my goals!
