1st Week Down.. Life to Go!

So today was the week mark of my start back on the wagon. I counted my points and ended up using more flex points than I wanted. I weighed myself Friday morning at 6 pounds less than I had been (201). Today however I was still at the same 207. Granted it could be that I just didn't lose anything but as of Friday night I've been on medications for my back that supposedly cause (gasp!) constipation. So I just feel off and that could be why it didn't seem as if I lost anything. I may never know.
Friday afternoon at work I reinjured my shoulder, which in turn set off whatever is going on with my back. I went to the urgent care that night and was prescribed muscle relaxers and lidocaine patches. The patches did nothing. By Saturday I was dying and went to the ER where I was prescribed morphine tablets on top of the relaxers. I've been loopey and just out of it since then. The pain is still horrible but I made it through work yesterday. Today however (probably because I didn't take the morphine before bed) I woke up throwing up and in severe pain, enough so that I had to call into work. Tomorrow I should be good.
It has just been a really long week for me with my back acting up. Next week I start my 3rd semester of college and that will be a challenge for me because I will basically have no time for breakfast or lunch. I somehow have to go to the bathroom, eat and get to my second class in 15 minutes. Not sure how that is going to work out.

As always, soda is the hardest thing for me. Work does NOT help, it's literally just right there.. 24/7 and we can have as much as we want since free drinks are the only benefit we get as employees. My Sodastream has made it better for me because I can have lower point sodas and diet ones that don't taste rank.

I am hoping despite starting college next week that the rest of this week goes by with minimal stress and that next week I somehow manage to get my breakfast and lunch in. Being up at 5am, and not coming home till 4pm would be a very long time without food..

Wish me luck this next week.. hopefully I did really lose a few pounds!
