My 100th post and escaping PMS

So, this is my 100th post. I'm glad I'm still here. :)

I've had PMS.


I've had cravings I could not control, I've tracked half-assedly, I didn't exercise barely at all this week, I've eaten more to maintain than to lose, and maintain I did. augh. Now, the PMS seems to be gone and I'm ready to get back on track. Counting calories proper, exercising, juicing, eating more fruits and veggies and DRINKING WATER AND TEA (I've been very dehydrated lately).

Everytime I snuck a handful of almonds (craving crunchy saltiness) I felt like my control and resolve were slipping away. But I didn't eat candy bars or junk food in general. I only ate out twice and the second time I brought home leftovers. The worst I really did was overeating nuts and I had some tortilla chips, although addmitedly more than I should have, but also WAY less than I used to.

"overboard" doesn't mean the same to me as it used to, but I saw just how easily I could slip back into bad habits. I feel like I need to better prepare for this next time, but I also feel like if I don't just give in I would make life WAY more difficult for my poor boyfriend. haha. ;)

How do you ladies deal with PMS and the weird cravings that come with it? (I ate a half jar of hot peppers!)

    I allow myself steak and some chocolate during my TOM. I know I will crave it so I plan to eat it.

    This is something I'm still working on. It's really difficult to fend off Aunt Flo and all her cravings and moods. I hate it. :(

    I can't even blame PMS, not really. But this weekend was a spectacular explosion of failure for me. I didn't have time to log on my website of choice and I chose not to write it down (I should have). Yesterday I managed to stay within calories-which isn't hard to do when you've biked for almost 2.5 hours-but I ate an entire loaf of bread over about an hour and a half. And I shouldn't even mention Friday. I'm attempting to be back on track today and so far, I seem vaguely successful. Of course, I'm always way better on the morning and early afternoon than evening. It helps that suddenly, my evenings have been scheduled away from home. Hooray! :)

    Good for you for maintaining! That's awesome. When I got my period (now on Depo-prevara, so no periods, yay!), I wouldn't get cravings, but I wouldn't lose no matter what I did, or how much I excerised. And I wouldn't lose a big number the folloing week either. It was just a nothing week.

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious.  He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.)  Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone.  Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways.  I think it can help a lot of peop...

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."

I looked at this blog for the first time in two years the other day. I wanted to reference a post in another piece of writing. I had completely forgotten that I had revamped this site, and I like its look now. I do honestly miss writing here. So, I might try and liven the joint up a bit. Check back soon! Where am I now? I am going for a physical next Friday. It will be the first one I've had in a year and a half.  I have been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds my entire life, it seems. I have had some severe health issues in the last couple of years, like heavy shit that I'm not going to bore you with right now. Either way, my immune system decided to go bust. I have spent close to a year trying to improve it. I'm eating pretty healthy, I take vitamins now, and immune-boosting gummies, and zinc and blah blah blah. I was also suffering from chronic dehydration. Don't let yourself get there kiddie winkies. It's a bad time. I have spent the last three months or ...

Cookbook giveaway! (Appetite for Reduction) Enter now!

This contest is for U.S residents only: Okay, so I have a few ideas for some giveaways that I'm planning on doing over the next few months. This is the first one, the next one I'll do once I hit 100 followers cuz it's a bigger prize and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to enter and spread the word. Contest Deadline: Starts now (April 12th) Ends before midnight (eastern time) April 22nd 2011 For now, I will be giving away a copy of my favorite cookbook, Appetite for Reduction , by Isa Chandra Moskowitz  << Her website. The Prize: This book is amazing, a lot of non-vegans think that vegan cookbooks are all full of strange ingredients that are only available at health food stores, but that isn't the case with this book. It has simple recipes made with easy to find and prepare ingredients and nearly everything in the book is between 200-400 calories per serving, and the servings are a good size. I've made many fabulous dishes from this b...
