It dawned on me this morning as I squatted while brushing my teeth (I should put it on YouTube... it's quite a sight) that PMS is hitting me hard this month. The slightest thing sets me off lately. I'm bloated like Sponge Bob. I'm stalled. My husband is keeping a low profile. Go figure.

The good news is a whoosh is tagging along behind Tom somewhere. Perimenopause sucks, but I know the light at the end of the tunnel isn't another train.

Second and final day of conferences, and I walked through the lounge after signing in to find an army of doughnuts on the table. I reminded myself of the absolutely positive chance of sugar crash about 15 mins after eating just one, plus overwhelming cravings, plus reflux pain... not to mention I'm wearing those jeans I'm finally able to zip up without cutting off circulation to my torso. I'll take a big pass on the doughnuts.

Met all my appointments last night, so looks like an easy morning. I put this together from the minifridge for breakfast:

2 small carb balance plus whole wheat tortillas
1 small can potted meat
1 string cheese
2 tsp mayo

I need to find a lower sodium replacement for the potted meat. I bought it when I went back to lowcarb because of the size and convenience... realized after logging it to FitDay it about wiped out the sodium for the day. Sheesh! The lowcarb tortillas aren't much better. Anyhow... water, water, water.

Will have spinach salad for lunch. Tonight we're having a departmental get-together at our place... we're providing the meat and one colleague is bringing a salad. I didn't specify what kind of salad to bring, so hoping it's green and legal. If not, the dinner's at my house... I can manage.

Getting used to saying NO to what ails me.
