What's on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
Happy Wednesday! Doing better today-- woke up yesterday with a killer headache and serious abdominal pain, so I took a sick day. I've had serious stomach cramps for days, and it finally "clicked" that this is a symptom of dehydration, so I'm going to chug as much zero-sugar grape Powerade and hope it helps. It's certainly the simplest explanation for what's going on, so fingers crossed.
Last night was the first practice for our newest group of derby skaters and I'm SO excited! We had about 20 newbies at the track, some had skated before, others were brand new, and by the end of practice they were all cruising around pretty well! I'm the de facto cheerleader for our league, so I made sure to give the newbies lots of love and encouragement :)
Accountability: good, because I slept most of the day and didn't have a chance to make any bad choices!
QOTD: Definitely a skate shop, because roller derby gear is HELLA expensive! My current skates cost about $300, but the super-fancy elite ones can cost over $700, especially if you want custom colors or anything like that. Upgrade my helmet to one with glitter, squishier kneepads, ALL THE WHEELS... yeah, I could spend a LOT.
Chow:
B: Half of a protein bar
L: Havarti cheese
D: green chile pork
S: all the Fairlife
Exercise: maybe a trip to the gym to swim laps after Nolan is in bed? Gotta see how I'm feeling, I'm pretty exhausted already and it's not even 9am.

hey guys!
So I completed about 2.2 miles yesterday without stopping, YAY! I felt great and my knees don't hurt like the last time, so I think I am going to keep it up and maybe try again tonight as long as I can convince Story to come along lol...It will likely be a shorter jog this time, and probably include some walking but that's ok.
I'll keep going solo on days when DH is home so I can go at my own pace. now I am going to be very disappointed when the weather turns and I am forced to use my elliptical in the basement again!
QOTD: I would also pick Amazon if it was allowed...I can get pretty much everything I want there lol...if not, then probably Hobby Lobby...I could spend millions in that store!
Morning: Coffee w/sf coffeemate
B: 1/2C cottage cheese and a fresh peach
L: 3 oz leftover steak and kung pao broccoli/peas
AS: L&F greek yogurt
D: garlic parmesan shrimp & broccoli w/Quinoa & kale
ES: baby carrots & hummus

Good day everyone.
my new counselor says that if I do have Cushing's I might not need to see her anymore. Even suggested we put future appointments on hold until I get the results. I felt like she was saying you're wasting my time. I had high hopes for this one. I'm frankly beginning to think counseling isn't for me. Just ugh.

OK I'm going to go off here for a minute. I am in dire need of a vacation. The last time I had any time off that was not related to medical issues, which I don't count as vacation is January 2016. I'm feeling really overwhelmed at work, I live paycheck to paycheck so without any paid time off I have no idea how I can actually take a vacation. Some days I really hate my job, today being one. I'm tired of everyone wanting something from me, of being expected to just pump out job after job. Being a overachiever it is hard for me to let anything go, I tend to just do the work no matter how much there is without asking for help. Because honestly there is no one to help. We do have a couple of new people but if I ask for their help I end up having to train them, and frankly it easier for me to just do it myself. If I had time to train them I wouldn't need their help. So I feel like I'm juggling and I keep dropping the balls because there are just too many of them. So I miss things, and there is just too much work...
I'm looking for a new job that has benefits and vacation but so far no luck. I'll keep trying, partly I feel my age works against me but there is no way to prove that. I will get through this, just take some deep breaths and let it go!
QOTD- I used to shop at Nordstrom years ago, but I'm not sure I would have enough self-confidence to go in there now. If I had unlimited funds I would go on vacation.
It's supposed to be 98 today so no walk outside. I will try to get on the dreadmill tonight. Last night I just didn't feel very good so I skipped it.
Have a great Hump Day everyone!

I was in that situation once. It is horrible. A bad job affects your whole life. Luckily I was only in my early 30s then, so eventually I found something even though it seemed to take forever. I know it's much harder once you get into your 50s and 60s. Age discrimination is real. But sometimes things do work out for people, so keep trying. My heart goes out to you.
Posting late but have been busy. Accountability was perfect for food and stepwise yesterday and Lily and I took a short walk.this am. Will take a long one in the woods here in a few.

Here's the food plan for the day B 3 protein pancakes with sugar free syrup L 4 oz deli chicken and cheese D 4 oz pork burger with cheese and no bun S if needed serv pork rinds. Hope you had a great day full of smart choices!
