Wednesday Doctor’s Visit

May 22, 2007

It's a month overdue. Hopefully she wouldn't lecture me about my late visit, being lax with my medication, and not eating healthy.

Ech. I guess I'm doing kinda' badly.

I've gone back to midnight eating and hit some spots of hypoglycemia afterwards.

I've been exercising though. She should be a bit happier with that. Or not. One step forward and two steps back.

Image-wise, there's been no obvious effect so far. I haven't changed my diet and I HAVE gone back to midnight eating. Likewise, my eating's erratic that it's been promoting fat-storage. Maybe that's it. Well… Have I also been eating more calories? No. No more calories than I'd always eaten.

Is it the muscles? My muscles look more solid and firm again. I could've put on weight through that. Or not.

It's only been five days though. I wouldn't really see much of a result til the end of the two weeks! Also, I've skipped the treadmill the last two days. Busted. Gerald and I will just go for a run tomorrow!

Anyway, I'm considering asking the Doc if I can quit it with the Met and the hormone replacement. I'm tired of both. I'm scared of the Met because of the side effects, and I'm tired of the progesterone because my gums feel swollen after every time. :p I don't know if this is the right decision. I haven't talked to Marc about it and I don't know what he'll say… (What do you think?)

I was thinking that if I didn't take medication and instead kept strict control of my diet, it was possible I might not need it. Also, wouldn't I be more strict with the lifestyle change just to avoid the medication? Maybe. In any event, whether I have her sanction or not, I've been so lax at it that I might as well not take it. :p

Hrmm… Besides, I think it's more likely that the Met would work when I plan to get pregnant if I didn't take it right now. It would be more potent. On the other hand, Met's not like those antibiotics.

Sunday Night

May 21, 2007

8pm to 2am was spent with Jayvi, Noel, Jennifer, Kevin, and Bryan. We had Indian buffet — we stink with curry right now. (Good thing I'm doing my laundry tomorrow. Really.) We went back to Jennifer's place and watched part of Snakes on a Plane before moving on to Smokin' Aces. Jennifer had us try a shot of something and some cocktail she learned how to make — the first tasted like medicine and the second was yummy. I like frufru drinks.

This is a good way to distract myself. I NEED the distraction.

$20 left on my wallet. That means one last hurrah. After that, either I eat into my savings or I get a job. The former seems more possible than the latter, though Bryan said he could possibly get me a job at Banana Republic.

Hrmm… Doesn't sound so bad. Maybe I should.

Go Green

May 3, 2007

No De La Salle reference here!

Let's decrease greenhouse gas emissions!

Arctic caps melting? Yeah, and it's happening thirty years sooner. It's worrisome.. What are we doing with our world exactly? I know the economy would suffer from some repercussions in following the Kyoto Protocol, but the repercussions of NOT following it is bigger…  :p

Honeybee Die-Off

Check the article HERE.

That's kind of freaky. Something is always throwing the balance off when it comes to all living things…with life, with love, and now with the honeybees.

I guess this chaos affects all things — the birds and the bees and the honeybees alike.

Stability.

May 2, 2007

Lots of upheavals lately. And uncertainty.

I don't really know how these things can be reconciled, if it even can be.
