For those who have been following I am on day 13 of the WHOLE 30.
I am feeling pretty good. My sugar cravings are few and far between and my pants are fitting better... in fact some of my scrubs are kind of baggy.
Even though I have not done a full month, my cycle was 31 days and normal! This is following a 60 day cycle and a 40 day cycle. My period only lasted 6 days as opposed to 10 like usual.
This could be a coincidence, but my OB said that lower sugar and less body fat would help regulate cycles. I did not expect result this quickly though.
My OB told me the same thing. She wanted me to cut carbs and sugars so DH and I started the Paleo diet. We'll see if it makes a difference in my cycle this time around.
singingsea, big hugs to you. I'm on my first month off my antidepressant/mood stabilizer combo and I am definitely having lots of the feelz. I remember when I first went on the mood stabilizer I was both happy (not so volatile all the damn time - whee!!) but also felt like I was no longer the passionate person I used to be. Had to remind myself a lot that what I always felt was being passionate and exciting was actually being an out of control hot mess. So now I'm scared to death to face life sans meds after 6 years. Good luck figuring out what is best for you right now.
@ismellbooks - I was supposed to get a cavity filled this morning (blech) but they had to reschedule as the dentist had a family emergency. I am super dreading this, because I have a weirdly small mouth and it's the very back of my very back upper molar. Usually having work done back in that area of my mouth leaves me with literal bruises from the difficulty of getting instruments back there (I looked like a losing boxer after my wisdom teeth were taken out).
kellybenelly83 - I work with law enforcement - glad you had some good-looking officers, because let me tell you, the uniform does not every officer sexy make
As for me, I had a giant queso burrito from Qdoba and now I want a nap.
Oh starbuck27 - so many hugs for you The only advice I have is agreeing with PPs to discuss with your vet. Sending you and your pup all the hugs, thoughts, and prayers.
starbuck27, I am sorry you are going through this. I would just focus on making the time your pup has left truly quality. The stint sounds like an ordeal that would just cause more trouble than good. You have all my hugs.
{Spoiler}Will make this overview quick...our dog is 12 years old. He has slow-advancing hydrocephalus. In fact, we never even knew he had it until he was around 10 and he started having seizures and loss of feeling in his hind quarters. An MRI revealed that about 50-60% of his brain was just gone! Our best guess is that the tissue loss was so slow that his brain just worked around it until it progressed so far that something had to give.
At this point, however, he's limping pretty bad, losing more feeling, and starting to lost control of his bowels.
He shows glimmers of happiness but for the most part...I don't know. I worry that he is just slowly deteriorating and suffering.
We have the seizures under control and the hydo slowed by drugs it cannot be fully stopped. And putting him under to get a stint in would probably finish him (it took MONTHS for him to recover from being anesthetized for his MRI). I don't know what to do. I don't want to even think about putting him down but it is really hard to watch him like this.
I'd appreciate advice and/or just some hugs.
I'm so sorry and wish I had advice. I know it's hard trying to decide what to do in these situations. So many hugs for you.
Good morning. I'm attempting to hem my new pair of jeans before work. Why do pants manufacturers think the bigger your booty is the longer your legs must be? Not true. Big ole booty and short stumpy legs here.
Do you get the waistband gap too? If the pants fit over my thighs there is gap at the waist big enough for me to fit a fist in. I hate wearing a belt and having it bunch up so much :/
Ditto this. That's why I stopped wearing pants altogether. #skirts4life.
Sitting in the hospital waiting room waiting to get to see MH. We got here at 7:45 am, it's 1:30. He went into surgery at 10:30. They said it would take two hours, I figured 3, but it took less than two and went well (he had an illesotomy take down)
My mil, fil and h's grandpa are here. My fil in law is so awkward about everything. My IL's are divorced (14 years Ithink) and he's still hung up on her (she left him) so there's that also.
I completely understand! But at the same time, the health of your mouth can impact your overall health, so you should really consider getting in there.
There are a lot of dentists who can be sensitive and gentle with you if you explain your needs.
All of this.
I HATE going to the dentist. HATE. However, I found a dentist who lets me pick a Pandora playlist to play in the room and gives me a warm blanket and neck pillow. We talked about all of my dentist fears prior to her even going near my mouth. It was the best experience I've ever had at the dentist.
I need your dentist. I,too avoid the dentist at all costs but i might reconsider if there were some like yours near me.
kelle017, glad everything went well. I saw you mentioned him being in the hospital in the Newbie Date. I'm sorry you had to sit through inlaw awkwardness on top of everything.

Glad that the surgery went well! I hope you get to see him soon!

One of my students brought me some bruschetta. I couldn't finish it but it was SO GOOD (I pawned it off to another student).
20 minutes later she comes back with fruit salad.
I love this student. She gets how much I love food.
How did female reproduction go?
That sounds dirtier than it should.
That made me snort.
We just did the anatomy side of things (they did think the picture was hilarious though) so nothing TOO interesting.
That being said I GOT ONE MISCONCEPTION OUT OF THE WAY! I told them how an ovum only lasts 24 hours. If that's the case can they get pregnant anytime during their cycle? (or maybe I said during their period). And they all said yes. I told them NO NO NO. We had already talked about male reproductive (yay wiener day) and that sperm can live up to 6 days... so that at most they could only get pregnant 6 days out of their cycle. They were all WHAAAAA?!
Then I went on to say that I wasn't promoting them to go have all the unprotected sex because of this but that yeah, that whole idea is so not true. Minds were blown.

kelle017, glad the surgery went well! I hope you can find some humor in the awkwardness of your waiting room company. I hope recovery goes well and then he gets to eat ALL THE FOOD he couldn't eat the last few days.
starbuck27, just sending you love. No advice, PP's have covered it, but definitely one of the most difficult decisions ever.
As for Five Guys-- I don't like burgers, but I think Five Guys does it right. I hate the thick, huge patties (insert joke about too much meat in my mouth here), but Five Guys has thin burgers the single is great! Plus their fries are amazing.
