This is my new favorite website. Updated every Sunday. Check it out.
This is my first day off. My GP gave me a week. I only hope that it will be enough. The main thing that is worrying me is I don't think I should continue working there at all, but I can't afford to quit.
So what am I doing today? Watching The Simpsons.
I woke up around 8 and called work to let them know that I wouldn't be coming in today, or for the rest of the week. I emailed my team leader to explain in more detail and left my phone # for him if he wanted to call me.
Then I took some pain pills and went back to sleep. I didn't think I could fall back asleep but I eventually did and I slept until noon. My team leader did call but only to tell me he wants me to feel better and they (work) only want to help me. This is somewhat hard for me to believe, but whatever.
I'm on my 3rd day of 20mg of pr0zac. I don't think they start to make a difference until around day 4 and real effects don't start until after 4 weeks. I have been on it before and am not worried about side-effects because the only ones I had before were good ones.
The blood test revealed that I've had glandular fever. We figured out this had to be this winter when I was really sick with swollen glands. This is one of the many reasons why I've been so damn tired. It is also another reason I was susceptible to the depression.
I didn't weight myself this weekend, I thought it best not to. Although, I feel like I have probably lost a little weight since I've been following the CSIRO diet. I bought the book and feel like the diet is very healthy and easy to follow. I've had a few things that were off the diet, but otherwise have been following it strictly.
This is what I am allowed to eat every day:
40 grams high fibre cereal
2 serves of dairy (200 ml skim milk, 50g cheese, 200g yogurt)
2 serves of fruit
100g protein with lunch
2 slices whole meal bread (or the equivalent)
200g protein with dinner
1 serve soup
Salads and vegetables are unlimited as it was on Weight Watchers. You can swap the bread allowance for potato, rice, or pasta.
The book has lots of receipes and even lists 12 weeks of menu plans. Since mr. ralph and I eat a lot of healthy food anyway not much has changed except I find I am eating more healthy stuff. Mr. ralph is giving it a go too, although I know he finds it difficult to eat all the fruit and dairy he is meant to.
