This week has been especially trying. I haven't had a chance to exercise yet, but with the exception of Monday I have been handling my stress better. That has been a big success for me. I even got through my "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" on Tuesday without turning to food. YAY me!
I have a new favorite snack: Vanilla Greek Yogurt. I LOVE it! I really don't like regular yogurt, but the greek yogurt is so different. AND it has something like 12 grams of protein in it, so it is an excellent snack choice for me. Yum!
I have been really working on how my stress effects my jaw. I've been trying not to let my stress make me tense up. I have been taking a new med for anxiety, and this has helped on the particularly rough days. It is a step in the right direction, and I am really thinking that I can reduce my ibuprofen intake again next week. That will make it down to 100mg 3 times a day. If I can handle that for a couple of weeks, then I will eliminate it all together. I am so looking forward to that!
Tuesday will be the day that I go for the psych appointment. While I am there all of the other appointments will be scheduled. I am so excited about this journey!
