30 Day Challenge | Pamela: Day 27-30 - Anything Worth Having Takes Time
So, for a couple of days now I've been having some pretty severe dizzy spells. I would be sitting at my desk at work, and all of a sudden the whole room would spin like crazy. I went to the doctor and they ran all kinds of blood tests to try and figure out what's going on and then finally diagnosed me as having benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). So basically I went to the doctor because I was dizzy and they diagnosed me as having dizziness. Um, yeah. That happened, and I paid for it because this is America.
Anyway, I've been ordered by my doctor to rest as much as possible... he literally told me to "move like a turtle." In other words, very slowly and as little as possible. So I've been living my life in slow motion for a couple of days now, and trying to keep my diet tight since I can't workout. I do have to say though that I haven't really been very hungry... I've pretty much been sitting on the couch all day which doesn't really work up an appetite. Here's an overview of my food for the last 4 days.
Food log
You'll notice that I've been eating a lot of the same foods. I made a big batch of kale salad and a roast chicken so that I wouldn't have to worry about getting up to cook a lot. My husband is working which means he's not around to help out for days on end, so batch cooking is my friend right now.Day 27
