My husband seems to sleep portions of the day away. He's been blaming the medication pregabalin (Lyrica). I also take some pregabalin, though less, and agree it "slows down", but I think there's more going on. I push him a little to get going, but not too much.

I started tracking my eating after not doing so for a long time. I'm sick of my clothes being tight and have worried about the diabetes type 2 issue. In the past, I tracked for Hubby, too, but I'm not going to do that. He does eat the same foods as me at meals, but a little more, which is fine. However, he also consumes things I don't...and in the middle of the night. Last night I made a super meal of salmon tartare. Today I also have all of my eating planned. It will be an Indian & Middle Eastern food theme today. Vegetarian, except the strip of bacon I ate at breakfast.
