Rainy Friday

On my own this morning. MonsterMustDie is at work and Friday is typically the day that Karen and Bob have lunch with his former co-workers from Volvo.

Yesterday was spent going to the dentist to get approval and a faxed signed document from him for my Zometa treatments to start in the future. The plan from Duke is for me to have an infusion treatment every six months for a minimum of three years. I got approval. They said my dental health is good. Afterwards, I was a bit achy (maybe the weather?) and my eyes burned (something in the air at the dentist office). I still had a bit of grit in my mouth from the visit when I woke up this morning despite rinsing my mouth out several times after getting home. Karen and Bob invited us to join them for dinner but I really did not feel up to it. My belly didn't feel quite right either, so I just spent the rest of the day napping and pacing around the house. The weather felt too cool and wet to do any walking outside.

I feel a lot better this morning. It's still raining and drizzly outside.

What I ate today:
2 cup coffee
Rosuvastatin 5mg
Letrozole 2.5mg
Ocuvite multivitamin
two 600mg Calcium + D3 10 mcg (400 IU) supplement
2 oatmeal cookies
6 vegetable steamed dumplings with a splash of soy sauce
2 Orgain 30g protein shakes
1 yellowtail + avocado sushi roll
1 fresh spring roll
I also took one Aleve today for the pain in my hip. That is something I rarely do now.

Fit app: afternoon walk
37 Heart Points
3.23 miles

10:00AM weight: 106.0 lbs

I got a call from the Dietitian at Duke today at 10:30AM. I really don't know what to say to her about my continued weight loss. She did not have any new insights about what I could do to improve things, other than to try a couple of new supplements. I sincerely hope my body uprights itself soon. She said, generally, that I need to be at 15% more weight to what I am now. I should be at 115 or 120 lbs.
More protein shakes.
