That “Time of The Month” Whoas (Migraines Included for FREE!)

Yesterday I was incapacitated by the world’s longest and most drug resistant migraine. I feel like I still have the after-effects of it residing in my right-frontal lobe. I’m wishing I could wear an eye patch on my right eye is it is feeling pressure-filled and achy.
It’s that time of the month: Premenstrual Syndrome time. [...]

Weekly Update: Sickness(?), Special Olympics, Veggies, and Clutter Butt (oh my!)

I feel off. My body is lethargic, my throat is sore, and my lymph nodes in my neck enlarged. I feel puffy all over. And things taste funny (even my beloved Diet Coke). I’ve felt like this for three days now. I’m at the point I almost want to scream at my body “Make up [...]

I Eat Too Much. Period.

These past couple months I’ve been in a funk. I’ve just felt melancholy, lethargic, and defeated in life in general. There is no real spur for these emotions, no crisis going on, and no life changing event that spurred my slow downward spiral in depression. I almost wish there was so that I could point [...]

The One Where Kelly Can’t Seem To Pick Herself Back Up…

I came home distressed. I didn’t feel like the midterm went well. I got my homework back and my grade on it was less than stellar. Negative, nihilistic thoughts danced through my head. I called my mom and told her about my sad state of mind, my worries, and my frustrations. She listened and told [...]

Ah to be a life-lution/resolution cliché. Sadness I tell you. This week was rough. I fell into a funk. How do I nurture feelings of sadness? With food of course. Falling off the wagon [...]

A Very Messy Middle Day

Yesterday was a low day. I woke up, stepped on the scale… stepped off, peed, stepped on the scale. Looking down and seeing a minimal reduction I accepted the number with a sigh and a shoulder shrug. At that time in the morning I didn’t have much energy or coordination for anything else.
As I drove [...]

I CAN Do It!

Yesterday I slept in. Late. As in, till 5 pm late. No that’s not an exaggeration. I’m thinking it has to do with a cold bug that’s going around but I don’t feel like I have a cold right now. Could it be exhaustion from the past two weeks catching up with me? Could it [...]

No News Is Bad News

I think it was in PastaQueen’s fabulous Book “Half-Assed” that I read “No news in dieting blogs is bad news.”
So honesty time: I’m flailing right now. Kind of. Actually, I’m just not moving; scale wise and exercise wise. And, truth be told, I’m not freaking out or upset about it because I know that the [...]

This Boot Was Made for Walking…

I’ve gotten a boot upgrade. Last Monday I had my mid-way check-up with my podiatrist to see how my stress fracture was healing. While the x-ray looked ok, I still have pain while walking. The doctor decided that I needed more stability, stating that I should have experienced a noticeable decrease in pain already. He [...]

Partner in Prosperity: Doctor Disappointments

I went prepared. I had a list of all my medications, dosage information, and what it was prescribed for. I had a list of questions and concerns typed up to address. I was ready for my “wellness exam” with my primary doctor and was optimistic about receiving guidance of some kind.
I arrived and did [...]
