BAD day
First my nut moved my appt so I didn't have enough time to work out before OR after the appt, then on the way there BAM! I'm gushing blood from yet another monthly (my 5th in 10 weeks!!!!!!!!!! At least that expains the 3 lb weight gain). I stopped less than a minute later to "protect" myself, only to find out I'm bleeding like crazy and I've ruined my favorite jeans. Then the killer cramps start, and I'm in so much pain I'm about to puke. I get to the bariatric center and they take one look at me and call for the doc. I got a Rx for something I dissolve in water and drink 1/2 hour before taking my Rx NSAID (Cataflam). That was the LONGEST 1/2 hour ever.
The nut says everything is great. 1000-1200 cals/day is good for me with my level of exercise. I've lost 20 lbs since my last appt, and 4% more of my body fat, for 7% total. She told me not to overdue the exercise, so I ask her if it's okay to stop weight training and just do the swimming and she told me no. So no exercise reprieve for me. I see her, the surgeon, and the shrink next month. I'm hoping to lost another 20 lbs before then.
Then I go to the health food store and buy honey and basil carrots to bring to an antiquers potluck tonight (don't wanna go). I'm going to say I cooked them, I don't care (well, I do have to heat them up!). I bought some flaxseed oil while I was there to try for a few weeks.
Then I decide I need retail therapy and I have 20 minutes before I have to pick up my son, so I go and buy a pair of SPANX. $25 for underwear that I couldn't try on and are nonreturnable. They better fit and better work, or I'll be really mad. I can't stand the way my stomach hangs. It's getting lower and lower every day. It's disgusting. Even my long shirts do cover it up anymore. I'm digusted by myself.
Now I'm home with my son, and I have to do laundry before I leave for the potluck, and I have to find an ornament to bring that means something to me that has been passed down in the family. (HELLO PEOPLE? I'm jewish here). I think I'm going to bring my Winnie the Pooh menorah because my husband gave it to me. Definitely NOT an antique. I may bring Alex's baby ornament too (my DH is southern baptist, so we do Christmas too).
Then around 10pm, I get to drive the 20 miles home in a snow storm! Yeah!!!!
Hope you all have a better day. I gotta go try and salvage my jeans now. Talk to you later!

Hey Sheryl,
What does the gyno say about these menstrual massacres you've been having? Something just doesn't sound right.
I hope today passes without any other problems.
Bring your Pooh menorah tonight. That's what I'd do. I have dreidel ornaments on the tree with the other ornaments from my mother-in-law. The dreidel ornaments aren't really ornaments. They are the dreidels that you can put candy inside and I put ribbon on them. Now they are on our tree with the other ornaments.
We sort of celebrate a hybrid Chrisnakah with lit Chanukah candles and a Christmas tree.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
