  • Todays a crappy day.

    hi everyone

    this is kinda a pointless post i guess im just cranky and im just wanting to rant. my monthly gift should be here any day so that probably is the reason for me being cranky..more than usual anyway haha.
    i have a headache just pounding away right now. i went to the doctor this morning and had some blood work done. im 21 yrs old and ive never had bloodwork done.i have..but for other things.

    I dont know my cholesterol. lipids. levels. nada! so i finally went to get that done today. im very anxious for the results. i have been waking up to some HORRIBLE leg cramps every other night. so bad to where i wake up screaming and am in tears. so whenever i get my results back my doctor will be able to tell me if my levels are low as far as potassium or magnesium or calcium. and he can tell me what supplement i should be taking. i didnt want to take anything on my own without some help.

    also..it didnt help that i have the thickest skin in the world and it took 3 nurses to stick me with a needle 3 times. UNSUCCESSFULLY. my veins blew and now i have brusies all over my arms/hands. but somehow they were able to combine all the blood from each attempt to be enough for the test. it f-ing hurts! so i am not a happy camper right now. lol

    and on top of everything. i had one of my best friends start atkins the other day. she was so impressed that ive stuck to it and i was really happy that she found motivation in me to start on her own. i helped her with everything. rules. grocery list. explaining everything. support. and she was on her 3rd day and started having some extreme tummy issues.(the poops i guess) and well..she blamed the diet and said she just couldnt handle it.i warned her about induction flu and that she just had to be strong and get through t and said she was gonna go home and eat some oatmeal with high fiber...which confused me. i told her that there are things she can eat that have alot of fiber that are atkins friendly. that she didnt have to cheat. but she just said she was sorry and that she doesnt thing she 'can handle it' but shes proud of me for doing so.
    im soo upset with her for giving up. but its her body and its her choice. why come so far just to give up so quick? i know she went only 3 days but still thats a good job! im just so frustrated. she complains about the weight shes gained and she was so excited to start the WOE but i guess you can only try to motivate someone so much.
    i know i shouldnt be upset with her. its not my body. i just want her to be happy and healthy and successful as her friend and i hate to see her throw it away.

    ugh! anyways. im sorry this is sooo long! i feel better now that ive let go alot of this.
    well ill end this for now. hopefully my next post will be less cranky and angry. im still sitting at 147. 125 lbs seems so far away. good luck to everyone else. and thanks for listening to my blabbing mouth!

    oh and by the way. ive been keeping a video diary of my weightloss on youtube. if anyone wants to check it out, here is the link to my channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/xxmestizaxx

        ((((HUG))))

        Remember the book called "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day"?
        Like his mother said, "Some days are like that. Even in Australia."

          How are you feeling today, Mindy
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
