Yeah she has sweet potato pies, butter something pies, banana pudding. And now these cookies. The sweet potato pies were a big deal several years ago. I used to be able to find single serve ones but I haven't seen them in a couple years.

Can you eat too much fruit and it then becomes a problem. I ate a single serve pack of apples and caramel dip, a single serve pack of apples and peanut butter, a small bag of freeze dried grapes, and a small bag of freeze dried strawberries. And I just threw up a ton and had some diarrhea.

Or is it my steroid that I'm done with

Thats probably more fiber than you are used to. My impression of your recent daily diet is like one serving of apple, and 5 servings of crackers and noodles, which they dont have a lot of fiber.

Also not much for the fruit to hold onto in there, IYKWIM! I should write a book, "How To Curate Your Poops." What foods to mix and match for um desired results. Aka Pooping For Dummies. Ive spent a lot of time perfecting this - i cannot have another butt crisis. Also what toilet tissue to select to complement. Instead of a wine sommelier...

Also i googled your lacroix and it said its as bad as soda for ulcers. So it that still happening?

Yeah it’s definitely possible to overdo fruit, especially the soft fruits they can be particularly fibrous, plus many fruits can be acidic.

Go me - I actually motivated to run 5k this morning, a rare Sunday morning off work and it was very peaceful out there, not the thrum of commuter traffic. I felt okay too, energy was good.

Awesome @Discombobulated! I did pilates this morning; my toe/upper foot still is not right. I'm contemplating going to the doctor, but all she'll do is refer me for an x-ray. I should have gone to urgent care when I first smashed my foot only I didn't realize it would be this bad. Now it's no longer an urgent care issue; I won't get the x-ray & doctor all in one visit. I hate the healthcare system here.

That’s awful blueberry, I had no idea you’d face the issues getting to see the doctor and X-ray. So many bones in the foot and fairly easy to break. How long since you smashed it up?

Good for you doing Pilates!

@Blueberrybook I'd recommend getting it checked out. I ran over my toe with the trash can in May. I think I broke the bone below the toe, right at the end. At the time I thought it was just a little break and I'd be fine. It's been 6 months and it is just now not too sore to exercise with impact (there are other issues that have messed up my exercise routine too. I could have been doing something else like pilates or yoga.). I have a feeling a few weeks in a boot would have been good for me. After time passed I was too embarrassed to ask for an xray and I should have.

I did pilates this morning

@BeyondtheRainbow I do have my regular 6 month checkup with the PCP next week, so I will definitely mention it then. It hurts pretty badly when I first get up but less as the day goes on. I am starting to think that about an hour after I take my Cymbalta in the morning, the pain lessens quite a bit. I'm also embarrassed about waiting so long; it's been nearly 2 weeks now.

I'm not feeling good today. My doctor wants me to give a stool sample. Ritz crackers are something I can eat that are mostly ok. I've had about 1350 calories today. In crackers and a bag of pickle chips which really helped my stomach because of the sodium. I also had a protein shake this morning and a Kind bar.

I did pilates again this morning. This morning my foot was hurting quite a bit less, and I almost tried a short walk around the block, which is around 0.5 mile, but rain was predicted, and I didn't want to be caught in that. All I need is for rain to fry my phone!

I got on my treadmill today finally. I only did 5 minutes but I have to start somewhere. I also ate pretty decently besides some ramen but the ramen helped out my stomach issues a lot.

The scale says I've dropped 5 pounds. I did stop a few meds that made me hungry so my appetite is way down. I'm not crazy thirsty and chugging zero sugar soda either.

I’m about your toe hope you feel better soon

I've lost some more weight. I got some snack like things today since eating has been hard. I got some boxes of cookies with 4 cookies each in a sleeve and some more chicken nuggets Lunchables. I also have single serve cups of Bob Evans mashed potatoes and mac and cheese.

So far today I'm around 1,140 calories. My sodium is a bit bad and my protein is not great. But I did what I could.

My foot is doing a lot better, not hurting nearly that much though I still feel things are not exactly right in there. I see the PCP next week for a my 6 month checkup, and I'll mention it to her if it's still an issue.

This morning, I did pilates as I'd like to try rotating that with walking for now. And maybe someday in the future, I will try jogging again. Not for awhile though. At this rate, I'm going to end up back at week 1 of the program!

That must be disappointing Blueberry but you can definitely do it again once you’re healed, you’ll likely find you’ll have residual fitness.

I managed 3 runs this week but shortened my last one for a bathroom emergency call. Went for a good long walk with a friend this morning early on, she’s a good paced walker and I’m used to slow pace accompanying my H, so my legs were definitely fatigued at the end. It was good having someone to chat with.

Awesome that you've managed to run so much this week discombobulated!

I went for a walk this morning and was feeling good so I jogged some. But I think I overdid it; the muscle strain perked right back up! I really could do without all these injuries! Between that and my toe, I am so frustrated! It's so hard to just wait for everything to heal; I am not a very patient person! I'll take it easy and do pilates tomorrow or rest, see how I feel. I did stop at the park and did some of the tension weight machines they have outside. I think my arms, abs, and obliques are going to be sore from that tomorrow!

I guess you could say I sort of fasted yesterday. From about 7 or 7:30 last night until 6 this morning. It does seem to be making a difference in my hunger but I'm a bit nauseated too today.
