Fat Tuesday

Today didn't get off to a good start. I was so dead this morning that I couldn't get up, and slept until 11. Not good but I'm happy to say I think it's been awhile since I slept that late on a weekday. I also ate a bunch of junk, a few sugary cookies and pieces of a giant chocolate chip cookie thing. By the way, it made me feel sooooo sick when I ate it. Maybe it was just too sugary. I still had another piece later. Yuck!

Anyway I was really in a pissy mood tonight. I was annoyed about something at work, but I think I'm turning the corner into the second half of the month, aka, beeeotch PMS time. Tomorrow is payday so I will go refill my prescription to Seasonale so no more periods. I can't have this disruption.

Tonight after work I managed to go to the gym, though I only got 20 min in because it was closing. I had so much energy, it felt really good.

Anyway I'm really sore from those lunges, and my triceps are also really sore. And also I think I hurt my wrist doing push ups yesterday. I get this sharp pain down the side of my forearm when I try to bend it. I want to take a class tomorrow but I won't put any weight on my wrist.

This morning I was tempted to weigh myself, "just to see." But I really don't want to because I know it doesn't matter. I think in the past I have weighed myself as punishment, like, "If you see how fat you are, it will inspire you to eat better and work out." But that's never actually worked... it's just been a number that is stuck in my head.

How does the Seasonale work for you? I was on Depo for quite a few years, but it made me gain a TON of weight and I started losing my hair. Also, since I've been off it, my periods have been crazy - like every 10-14 days (if not more!). So, I'm looking to try something new, but I'm still a little weary.

Not that I'm getting any sex. :|

Kudos, Mandy for not weighing yourself! It took me awhile before I stopped checking to see what my stomach looked like in the mirror every day. Every time we avoid these little habits that only end up making us feel "good" or "bad" about ourselves, we win!!!

I'm glad to see you are enjoying your athletic endeavors!

With love,
