I think I've gained a couple of pounds already!

A
dear friend of mine is staying the weekend, so this has been a weekend
of fun! We've spent hours gallivanting around the city and visiting
resorts (for free, of course). Resourcefulness is a necessary skill
when you are a poor student. There is a surprisingly large number of
activities you can do for free or for a nominal fee in Vegas. Sight
seeing is a good example, but we found some very cheap places to have
fun- ladies' night at a club, a dinner special at a casino restaurant,
and a night club with no entry fee, for a few.
I've done more
walking these past couple of days than I think I've done in a week, but
that probably won't make up for the calories I've consumed in tequila
sunrises (hey- orange juice is raw!) and the salmon dinner I had the
other night. Other than taking advantage of ladies' night, I have
stayed away from less healthy fare despite having plenty of
opportunity. I make sure to eat enough at home before leaving so that I
have hours to go before being hungry again. My breakfasts have been
cottage cheese and fruit, maybe a slice of ezekiel bread.
New Health Concern
Lately
I'm wondering if I'm having gall bladder problems. I should go to the
doctor but you know me... I hate seeing doctors. The reason I'm
speculating about gall bladder is because the cramp-like pains I get in
my lower right/front abdomen seem to come only after I eat or drink.
The length of time the pains stay and their intensity vary greatly.
Sometimes the pain is so mild I can ignore it. Other times I can barely
breathe and can't move for a few minutes. Most of the time the pain is
moderate, although somewhat limiting for a while. Since I don't eat
constantly, I don't think about the pain until I have a snack or meal.
I'm only thinking of it now because I just finished breakfast and I'm
feeling the twinges beginning. Apparently losing a lot of weight in a
short amount of time can lead to gall bladder problems. Felicia had
gall bladder problems and her pains were emergency-department severe.
Mine have approached that severity only a couple of times.
Well, the weekend isn't over yet- there is more fun to be had. Tonight I'll be dancing and burning calories!
