 I don't know what's going on over here, but my Depo Provera isn't doing it's job. Feeling very PMSy today - bloated, crampy, spotting and eating like it's that time of the month.  I haven't had a period in over 3 years so this is craziness.  If this continues, I'm calling the doc.  Dang it!

commute -- chocolate protein shake
Breakfast - grapes and cheese
Lunch -- Baja Fresh Tortilla soup and a side salad
Snack - grapes and cheese again
Extra snacks -- soy chips, Snapea Crisps, chocolate covered edamame (OMG!)
Dinner -- nothing yet, but probably heat up some Wendy's chili that's left over

Sounds miserable.  I can just barely remember those days.  I was FINISHED with the change by 35.  The stupid Docs gave me friggin' Valium.  I was nuts. All stressed out.  Anxious and grouchy.  But no, it was the change.  They didn't figure it out until my ovaries disappeared when I was 51 and I had a hystericalectomy !

Hang in there...and feel better soon.

Another brutal day at work with testing...one more day to go then we can resume to normalcy!  I rode tonight after work and my instructor just tore into me about riding better than I have....she says it's time to start building muscles in my arms to improve my position.  She also got on me hard because I have a show this Sunday and she wants me to get decent scores from the judge who was very, very hard on us last year.  I'm hoping to show some improvement since last year's show.

Anyway, for today:
B:  1/2 english muffin
       2 pcs microwave bacon
       coffee

S:  applesauce
      handful of craisins

L:  very, very late today!
      zuc lasagna
      fage w/ mandarin oranges

S:  decaf pumpkin spice latte
      handful of wasabi peas

S:  after riding:
      pint of 2% milk

D:  turkey smoked sausage w/ sauteed onions and peppers
     fresh lima beans w/ butter
     1/4 c tapioca pudding

Have a good night!

O.k. today was my 31st B-day....this was me 8 years ago.



I've been slipping lately, last year on my b-day I was down to 245. Shortly there after I got off Topamax and the a lot of the weight I had lost while on it creeped back up. I also stress ate after the 3 surgeries I had this past year...while also using them as an excuse not to push myself with exercising. I spoke to my therapist about it today...yeah I'm just that dedicated that even on my b-day I'll keep a therapy appt. She said "Sarah, you know what to do, and despite you saying you don't care (as in I often know what I'm about to eat is not good and still say I don't care and eat it) you DO CARE. I do care, I'm seeing my BP creep back up and on Monday I was at 314. WTF...this needs nipped now! I gave Eggy permission to ride my ass about posting here and decided that even though it was my b-day I can't put it off till tomorrow I must do it NOW.

So...

 Bless me Charlie for I have sinned, it's been over a month since my last posting. Forgive for what I have eaten today.....

B: Chicken Biscuit from McDonalds
S: Fruit n' yogurt parfait
L: Chicken pad thai noodles
S: 1 cupcake (for my b-day)
S: handful of Salt & Vinegar kettle chips, 2 pretzel rods
D: 5 chicken wings, 2 pieces of dragon sushi roll

I'll be honest here I may have oreos or pop tarts before bed...of course now that I just posted this I might not..since the point is a fresh start....the oreos, poptarts, chips...and anything else that was bought for the purpose of hurricane snacking will got to work with me tomorrow...my students will have it gone by noon I'm sure!

ETA: I'm going to go pick out a bike this weekend. I contacted another shop and e-mailed them about my needs and they said to come in on Saturday and they'd be more than happy to help me find a bike that is right for me.

Good for you! and Happy Birthday friend... the BEST YEARS are ahead of you.

You inspire me.
