    Contemplating Vegetarianism

    Food is a dilemma. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2009, officially, with various mentions of it beforehand. My first cyst was in 2002, that I knew was a cyst. I had random abdomen pain before but was told it was nothing. So who knows. Infertility aside, my body was taking insulin, storing it as…

  • Now that I can Breath, First Item: Food

    So I need to still figure out what is wrong but Albuterol has made a huge difference. I still have the cough but I can control it now. Need to make an appointment with my doctor to talk about it. Anyway I’ve started experimenting with food. Spinach has been a win in small amounts. Also…

  • Learning to Eat Again

    I’m failing at eating. I have no will power. My diet sucks. I can’t seem to control anything. I hate that this is just so hard. Sorry to bitch. I’ll figure it out.

  • Apparently Food is Just Not Good for Me

    The conversation went like this: Dr: You must go on a no fat diet today. No dairy, no meat. No gluten, corn, low carbs. Me: so mostly veggies and fruits. Dr: nuts and seeds. Lots of iron in those. Oh wait, not that. No nuts and seeds, fat content is too high. Me: okay… Dr:…

  • The Magazine at the Market

    I’ve been having leg spasms. If I don’t lay on my right side my legs start jerking around. It wakes me up if I move during the night. During the day, I have spasms in my hands, face and back. It makes things uncomfortable. I keep meaning to tell my doctor but it hasn’t happened. In…

  • Green Pants

    I have these green pants. I think I bought them at Target, 3 maybe 4 years ago. They were a whim purchase, on sale an available in a 13. Low waisted, boot cut, cargos. And they were green. A major selling point in anything I buy. Now I didn’t try them on…silly me. You know…

  • The Best Laid Weekend Plans

    So last week turned into really busy work week, which hasn’t finished. Plus I had strep. Yeah me. So again this means I’m behind. If you’re waiting for updates from me, I promise I’m doing them…really. We got a new camera. It takes some great photos. The first thing I tested was the zoom. On…

  • 101 Method, A Return to IF

    My first day of return to IF was less than successful. I’ve done IF before as I said (in fact iirc, that’s how I found Steve’s site, came for the IF, stayed cause I’m a fan of the novels, stayed longer because the conversation was interesting).  The last form was the JUDDD method with limited…

  • This Week, This Year, This Time

    Aia is coloring wooden blocks in art class. Why? So she can make dice. She’s also concerned for the Huntress’s love life in the Justice League. I’d say my daughter needs a hobby but she doesn’t. I’ve decided join up on the beta of The 101 Method put together by Steve Barnes and Mushtaq Ali. …

  • Things that Kick My Ass: My Fitness Coach

    Ow, this Wii “game” kicks my ass. It doesn’t use the Wii Board, but dang the workout is instense!  It adjusts as you go and depending on how you do on your goals and commitment. Totally fun and it goes through a whole work out…you have to bring your own equipment (weights, balls, step boards…
