Went 1.23 miles in Boogie Box on Thursday morning in Boogie Box! My Nike Plus sensor recorded it today, I’ll wear it again on Saturday or Monday to see how many miles we go!

I thought last week it was that time of month, but it MUST be this week. I know, it sounds weird, I should know that BUT I had a surgery called Novasure www.novasure.com/ on November 21, 2007 which removes the lining of the uterus. I had it because no more kids, not wanting a hysterectomy and not in menopause but I didn’t want such heavy bleeding and hemorrhaging each month. I haven’t had bleeding since…but I still have the period symptoms, so I’m actually feeling the symptoms now, plus the water weight. I will have this happen every month, that hasn’t changed unfortunately. For some reason I always gain 4-8lbs in one week then I lose it then “that time” is over. So hopefully later this week it will all be gone.

I weighed myself today and lost 2lbs since yesterday so maybe the "that time of month weight" is finally coming off, every month without fail my body gains like up to 8lbs of water and then a week or week and a half later it's gone all in a couple of days. So weird.

I feel like the eating more doesn’t work as I gained weight this past week instead of losing and now I’m back to losing. Maybe it's just the water weight, maybe not, I guess I'll see.

On Thursday after Boogie Box I went to the hairdresser and I got my hair darker with just blonde streaks instead of being the blonde with dark roots! She will have to add more dark streaks in 6 weeks but for now it's much better and healthier looking. Got to have the healthy hair with the healthy body! When I got home from getting my hair done there was an electrical outage in our neighborhood so it was the prime opportunity to take my dog Shaq for a walk/hike through the hills where I live, We only went 2 miles, but it was all really steep hills, and this time I wasn't out of breath like I used to be before Boogie Box. It was as though I was a different person going up those hills! YAY!

I have cramps but no bleeding from my periods since the Novasure surgery. Weird, it’s a bummer because I gain all this water weight, my breasts hurt and I have cramps and have cravings for salty things, bad very bad. Then after I ate the bacon wrapped artichoke hearts I got a bad headache like 5 minutes later! I looked up online “Does bacon give you a headache?” and I thought nothing would come up, BUT I got a LOT of links regarding why it DOES! Because of the Nitrates in it and other cured meats. MSG also of course is bad and cause headaches. SO no more bacon for me, it’s too fatty anyway, even the low fat bacon we have. Urgh. Cramps hurt too much even to walk my dog!


I'll post more in a couple of days!
