Literally. A pain in the butt. To be more exact, a pain in my butt! An intense and sharp yet dull and throbbing pain, it is. And it seems like it will last forever!
Now, I know it won't. That is absurd, especially when I had the surgery to relieve my discomfort. It's just that it has made so little improvement in the last 6 days.
And you wouldn't imagine (unless you have experienced this yourself) how difficult it is to get things done when you can't sit for more than 10 minutes at a time. Things like...a computer desk job. *sigh*
Ok, enough complaining from me. I need to look at the bright side. Where to start...
I drove today, a whole 3 miles round trip! I went to the grocery store near our house. That was good.
I have been working since Tuesday, increasing my shift by 1/2 hour each day. Would you believe that I worked a full 4 hours today--yay!
I have had three days of restricted caloric decisions. (In the interest of full disclosure, I DID eat ice cream today, but it was a controlled amount.) I still feel good about it. I am motivated to continue. I am planning to wear my old clothes this summer!
It's not easy. It's downright hard sometimes. It feels like it will never end. It's a royal pain in the butt--
But this too shall end!
