Its amazing what going to the doctor can do

So after who knows how long, I finally decided to go see a doctor. I am now on Claratin daily, thanks to Dr. Harter, and am finally feeling human again. The sad news is that this week was a horrible week for weight gain. Up until the day before my appointment I had gained NOTHING then, all of a sudden I was up 5 lbs!!! Dr. Harter took one look at my hands and feet and knew it was water weight, but that didn't keep me from crying. Yes, I broke down and cried! I think it was just the tip of the iceburg. I have been so stressed out about one thing or another over the last 3 months, on top of feeling like a walking zombie and on Friday I finally had my meltdown. It started in his office and lasted about half the day. My poor husband had no idea what to do with me. I have to say, poor Dr. Harter too. He offered me medication for my stress, but I refused. I think I just needed a really good cry, the only problem was, once I got started I couldn't stop and even typing it here on the computer is making me tear up.

So, on to the details of my week. I felt awful until about Thursday, when I started taking my allergy meds so I didn't work out. I have been trying to eat healthy, but I did cheat and have a couple of my delicious chocolate chip cookies. I had to taste them before I gave them out. ;) I'm not being perfect, but unfortunately depression gets the better of me and I haven't exactly kicked out the emotional eater in me. Even if it is munching on dried fruit... I just tend to munch. STILL NOT GOOD

My goal, now that I'm feeling better is to go back to my original goal and get a 15 minute walk in every day... at the very least. Hey, by the way, I saw you girls, and if you're going on a walk, you could always call me!! =) I miss you guys and it would be great to catch up once in a while. Of course, when I saw you I was on the way to my doc appointment. =)
