Not much to say today. I am down 12 lbs and my daughters are down 13 (Harmoni) and 9 (Gini). I am still feeling good, probably a bit more alert than is usual for me lately. I am really wiped out this evening so I'm going to get to bed early and hopefully get more sleep than I've been getting lately as well. Last night I still just slept for 6 hours but I slept a lot deeper than usual. I fell asleep on my bad shoulder though so it's flared up now. Swimming was great as usual but I'm pretty sore.
I want to remember for future reference just how it feels right now to try to function normally. I want to remember that if I sit on my tail all morning and then go for a swim, I am so tired I can barely make it through the produce section at the market. Literally. My body feels like it was filled with lead. Mentally I'm great but physically I really am just completely spent just from a 30 minute swim followed by 30 minutes at the market. Cleaning the kitchen will have to be passed off to my girls. When I think I'm not making progress fast enough I need to remember exactly how a day like this felt. I know myself well enough to know that a few weeks or months from now, I'll go swim for 20 laps, go grocery shopping, take the kids to a movie and then clean my kitchen and then gripe and complain about how I shouldn't be so tired. Maybe I should make a video blog.
I have since learned that extreme fatigue is completely normal and happens to most everyone at around this point. It lasted longer for me than for most people probably because of my Myasthenia Gravis. This was totally common detox symptoms.
