Day 10 - Rough Day

I'm struggling with insomnia. I'm not sure at this time if it's due to the lack of nutrients for so long, or if this is just my body going through changes. Either way, it sucks.

The numbness in my thighs is becoming very annoying and even painful at points.

My job stability has been shaken in the last day or so. I work for a government contractor, and the programs I work for may or may not receive enough money to keep us funded after September.

In addition to that, we were rudely awakened last night by a sudden change in pressure in the house and wicked roaring wind outside. We could hear trees coming down all around us. Jen bolted out of bed to get the kids while I inspected (like a genius.)

All the meteorologists claim it was straight-line winds. But you'll never convince me that it wasn't a small tornado. One of our neighbors lost about a dozen legacy trees. Simply uprooted. Sounded like a train. No joke.

That event transpired at 12:45 AM. Needless to say I didn't sleep the rest of the night.

All of this, coupled with the fact that my hunger has finally returned, has made for a very stressful day. And of course now I can't turn toward food to fill my emotional needs. So today has sucked.

 And on top of all this crap, my weight stayed the same for the first time in almost a month. I'm sure it is the sudden introduction of sodium into my diet after not having any for so long.

I know this process isn't going to be perfect and there will be ups and downs. Today would classified as the latter.

But as Scarlett says, "Tomorrow is another day."

Weight this morning: 395 (-46lbs)
