xRavenx and Christina, I'm sorry to read you are both still feeling so unwell. I hope you are resting and drinking lots of fluids. At least such things do go away eventually.

I've had a hard time getting going this morning because I stayed up very very late. My bad!

I'm thinking of officially starting a tracking food diet tomorrow morning. I'll be easy on myself and not kick myself if I go over 1,200 calories. If I can stay below 2,000 to start, I'll be happy. Then I'll trim my eating down to more of a weight loss level. I've got to plan some appealing snack options more carefully, because it is the late night snacks that really get me. I get annual blood tests done next Monday for my nephrologist.
