Hi Ladies!! Congrats Beth and Jules on Charlie and Gabby.
Anna, so sorry your dealing with similar issues only with a different substance.
My cousin is still working my bum off however this week I've been a bit slower. Tomorrow or actually today (since it's 1am) it's our 11 year anniversary and Doug took 3 days off. I'm having cramping, bitchy, and eating my way to a whole other person. I'm thinking I'm pms'ing. I don't usually get a period because of PCOS so we'll see if this exercising is working to normalize my hormones. I should say my hormones are still a bit odd. Sugar levels are high (though the endocrinologist says they aren't so bad) and my hair is falling out. I'm also getting skin tags from the excess insulin.
Friday I'm going to a glow in the dark Zumba class. White shirts, etc. and you glow during the dancing. THIS should be interesting. I'm quite overweight and though I was a dancer for 14 years. I haven't danced in 10 years. I'm clumsy now. Training starts the end of April I found out so I'm continuing my workouts with my cousin and maybe will keep with these classes. I've been thinking about going vegetarian. I think it's called pescatarian?? Fish, fruits, veggies and legumes. I've been thinking about eating vegetarian for awhile now but I can't have soy anything because I'm hypothyroid and already have a high level of estrogen. I have to find protein from other sources. Fish, hummus, quinoa. I bought a book with recipes and a good description of basic principals. My issue is I get bored. I don't have the creativity to figure out different dishes for each meal that are vegetarian. I've been thinking about hiring a dietician to come to our home and help me. If I'm taught, I can do it. I'm a hands-on person.
Finally, another reason I haven't been on is that a man tried to force his way into my home while Amelia and I were home alone. He tapped on the door then banged REALLY HARD. I turned the light on so neighbors would see and looked out the window. The guy held a tag and said he was from my energy company and needed access to my basement right now!! It was 715pm and he was dressed all in black with a greenbay packers had on. Doug called while I was telling the guy to get the heck off my porch or I'd let my dogs loose and he tried to break my window to get in. I let Doug go and called the police. The guy ran off. An hour and a half later, the officer shows up and blames the mayor for the issue with cutting back on officers. So, I called the mayor the next day. She did an investigation. They apologized but still said it was to be expected because other issues were more important. There's more to the story but I won't bore you with it. Needless to say, we're OUTA here! We're having our taxes done and I'm PRAYING we have enough saved up for a down payment on a small home. I'm sick of landlords, sick of renting and we want out of the city to a town we are more familiar with that will have room for our dear girl (and maybe some siblings) to grow. We're still looking for rentals but so far nobody wants our dogs even if we prove we cage train them and care for them. We really need a miracle! I'm VERY emotional over this whole issue since Doug is gone through early morning hours. I'm even more now with this pms'ing. My dad said something rude and we just left early and doug through something out without asking so I went upstairs and had a good cry by myself.
Amelia is going to bed at 10pm now. We're getting up at a good hour so far. Even went to church this past weekend. She's crawling (though complains doing it) and is starting to stand up with only one of my hands holding her lightly. She's laughing and now baby babbling. Whenever a song is on, she starts what I think is singing to the tune (I've been singing to her since she was in my belly and I sing to her everyday)
Love to you all and I'll come back to catch up more as soon as I can. We're looking at affordable houses to buy and or rent. It's in Gods hands what the final deal will be. Hopefully I will keep exercising and not use food to deal with stress.
