i can only remember feeling this sad and hopeless once before in my life
 
Come at me, bitch.

In whichever name you wanna choose, although I was always fond of Aponivi.
 
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.....

Sure that I have the first one, somewhere in a box.*
 
Sainsbury's. Posh range, mini ones. The triumph was when I opened the packet and realised that not only were they chocolate chip hot cross buns, they were chocolate hot cross buns with chocolate chunks. The tragedy is that I only bought one packet. :(

Right. Sainsburys next then! Marks do some toffee ones that are nice.
 


Decisions, decisions...


I could spend the morning reading 15 corporate proxy statements, each of them comprised of 60-odd pages of fine print. Or, I could spend the time outdoors doing something enjoyable.


These proxy statements are how executives over the last 30-odd years have awarded themselves risk-asymmetrical management stock options. So-called professional investors responsible for trillions of dollars of government pension funds, endowments, foundations and personal trusts (as well as individuals who own stocks) have allowed managers to enrich themselves by their collective failure to read and comprehend these proxy statements and exercise their ownership prerogative.


The result? The greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the universe has occurred (from owners to executives).



 
The fair is next weekend!

I get to stock up on my chocolate for the summer.

Thats the best thing about having to live with the M&M's smell.
 
The girl next door. The dirty, filthy, incredibly happy girl next door.
 
Woke up and had to leave on an errand. Didn't have a lot of time and thought even though it was a non-"fast" day so I could theoretically eat breakfast, why not extend the "fast" a little and not eat breakfast? Downed a cup of tea while getting ready, then ran out the door.

Big mistake! I felt crappy. Between errands, had time to stop at home and have a small bowl of a soup rice veggie thingy along with a short nap. Woke up feeling much better. Not sure if it was the dearth of food or just general crappies for other reason. Either way, a nap fixed it.

Went out again, did stuff, got home and ordered pizza and wings because I FUCKING CAN, HALLELUJAH. Ate 4 pieces of cheese pizza and three buffalo wings. Terrible terrible terrible, I know, but I needed the treat. . My small soup rice lunch soothed my guilt a little, as did the knowledge that Monday will be another "fast" day.

They claim that you not only can exercise on a "fast" day, but that doing so burns more fat than on a non-fast day. Last week I did my exercising on days when I was eating normally. Next week maybe I'll try working out on a "fast" day and see how I feel.

Tomorrow I'll eat normal but healthy - semi-healthy everyday food normal sized portions. Not pizza again. Monday morning will be my first weigh-in post-"fast" diet. Manu's been telling me not to read too much into my weight (he's being terribly supportive of this even though he thinks it's weird - like he always is of all my harebrained schemes), but I know that I will be disappointed if I haven't lost even a little weight. Fuck, even a couple pounds of water weight would make me happy.

But I'm in this for the longish haul. I've promised myself I would stick with this for three months. Prior to this, I spent three months eating under 1300 calories most every day (some days were higher, life happens) with no change in weight (which meant no gain, but still). So even if there isn't change the very first week, I'm gonna try not to stress too hard. Just keep moving forward. One day at a time.

Have you had your TSH checked (thyroid)?
 
Have you had your TSH checked (thyroid)?

Yes. I was born with Graves Disease, spent up until age 15 on a thyroid repressing meds. At 15 radiated my thyroid, and I have been on a supplement since. I get my levels checked every 6 months. It's been really steady for the last 10 years, but prior to that I could tell when it was off by either insomnia and stress feeling (too high) or weight gain and sluggishness (too low)

When the weight started accumulating, my very first thought was, "Ah, time to up my thyroid dosage!" I was extremely disappointed when all came back fine! :D How easy it would've been if they'd up the dose a point and all would be well. I asked my doc, "Are you sure?" and he nodded and told me that I'm at the age where bodies start to change. Boo. :(

It's the truth. I'm struggling with my weight at the moment.

When your doc says your TSH is fine, you might want to ask what the number is. The vast majority of docs (primary care) will look at a reference range given by the lab that tells them what "normal" is. Most labs say TSH of .5 -5 is normal. Trouble is that most women will gain weight and not feel well when their TSH is above 2. My endocrinologist explained that because those labs reference ranges are based on a bell curve, only a small percentage of people will be normal at a TSH of 3-5. Most people are in the middle of the bell curve and nede their TSH to be between .5 and 2.... My doctor will increase my meds if my TSH increases above 2, whereas my old primary wouldn't because he thought anything below 5 was normal. I had to switch primary care doctors when I no longer needed an endo. There's plenty of research and articles to support this theory. Just something to think but next time you get checked. I always ask what the actual number is.... recently I gained 5 lbs and sure enough my TSH was 3.2. Not normal for me!
 
Am I imagining things or are there more than the usual number of political threads on the first page of the GeeBee this morning?

Someone should post some fluff, STAT!
 
This morning I'm feeling like a bag of dog crap that someone set on fire just to watch their victim stomp on. Too many glasses of wine last night.
