    Fish fry at church tonight. Carb night it is. Have not been real good this week in the evening but being very strict during the day seems to have worked. Have actually lost a pound and maybe more.

    Also, apparently pull ups are a perishable ability lol. Stopped doing them along with everything else when we started having problems before Kiera died. Jumped on the bar last week and could barely do one! Am up to three now, but still a long ways to go to get to where I was.

    Kevin, I am very sorry to hear about Keira. I was away for so long and missed the post. Hugs and prayers for all of you. I am with you on the pull ups. If I am not consistent (and in my case heavy) I can barely hang there. One day I will do them again.

    Kelly, Thanks so much for sharing and the tips. It is one of those things that every time I mention it to friends all they say are things like..."Oh, it is awful...Just you wait...You need pills..." I accept it, it is a part of life, but love to hear natural ways to possibly ease it and what can be expected. My mom said it was a breeze, but she was going through chemo and radiation at the time. It is hitting at about the same time as it did for her. I am like you, the cycle goes for long periods of time in between and then when it returns it is back weekly with a vengeance. Also get extreme blues similar to when I was jumping between birth control pill years ago. I wish you didn't deal with that pain too, but it helps to hear someone else has dealt with it. I had my foot on backwards and it doesn't even compare to these pains. I will have nights where it hurts everywhere just turning over in bed. The BF is the one who put it together with the cycle. He blames dehydration. I think it is hormonal. The doc thinks that with other stuff it might be MS, but I have yet to get the CT scan. I am bound and determined to get healthy and see what changes! Buying some Wild Yam this weekend. Saw this: http://www.djinnicorp.com/wildyamcreme.pdf

    Susan, UGH on those rude people at the concert! Now I have to check out Alabama Shakes. How have I not heard of them??? Sorry about the weight standstill. What is it about being around 200 that puts people in limbo. You got this! Crazy how not eating enough can do it, but I believe it. Also stress can. YAY for summer break! I work for a company that sells educational supplies and everyone I have been talking too has been stressed, except the ones who are out. Like a weight lifted off there shoulders!

    Sorry for the long post. Venting a bit due to a rough morning. Our cat had what I thought was a seizure, but then he could barely walk. Something has been off with him the last week. I took him in and he has a tumor. We adore our pets and I am not ready to let our boy go. Took the day off and think I will take the dog for a long walk to clear my head.

    Wishing everyone a nice weekend!

    Kevin, yep it's amazing how quickly muscles atrophy when you don't use them.
    Kris, I feel for you. I think women got the short straw in evolution. Look into black chohosr tincture they'll help and drinking red raspberry leaves tea every day will help as well.

    Kris I started early. Way earlier than the women in my family. So I started having issues 2 years ago and I am 40 now. What helped me with sleeping is having a sleep number bed. I can adjust it as much as I need to. I used to have severe mood swings and some meltdowns when and I have found that regular outdoor exercise has really leveled everything as well as a set bed time.

    For example I do well on work nights if I am in bed and asleep by 10:30pm. Later than that I am unexplainable weepy and have issues with my diet. During my cycle I do have to drink way more than the 120 oz of water I drink daily. That really seems to help as well. I don't have a desire to do hrt and may consider an all natural version down the road. But for now the biggest help I have is getting my size down.

    We shall get thru it together!
