What I'm Reading This Week #17
Time for Friday which means planning weekend shenanigans should be afoot! Well, the carpet thing as far as the obscene amount we have left went nowhere. They gave an excuse which measurement wise makes no sense, swore we weren't charged for it and now we have a friggin' roll left to figure out what the hell to do with it. Do you know how many times over the past 8 years we have said the phrase "we'll figure it out?" 7,422. I'M. TIRED. OF. HAVING. TO. FIGURE. IT. OUT!!!!!! You listening up there, Sir or Madam? Can we please be done?? The only thing we got was a service call which they were late for to fix the gap which yay but shouldn't have been there in the first place. Rat bastards. The worst of it is when you look up the reviews for the place after the fact (because they don't tell you who it is before or you'd never buy through them). This place gets one star out of like 20 reviews over the years. Th...
I'm sorry. Hugs to you today. It sucks to work hard and do all the right things and have a medication hold you back, or an injury take a fair number of your favorite workout methods off the table.
ReplyDeleteBe careful with that thumb, though. My husband had a similar sprain and using the splint was what let it heal.
I know you'll keep working your plan, no matter what, so I hope you enjoy the weekend and yourselves!! You're doing all the right things, and can only control what you can control - and you've got that part covered in spades!!
I had to laugh at your, "If only I could get my sweet tooth pulled"! Me too! My weight loss journey would be smooth sailing if I could lick that one.
ReplyDeleteI just started following your blog, and haven't read earlier posts, so I don't know if there is a reason that you must be on birth control pills. For what it's worth, my husband and I have used the Billings method of fertility awareness for 34 yrs., and have had two planned pregnancies. It's easy to use and has no side effects.
My heart does go out to you in your present circumstances. Plateaus are nasty, and to have hormone problems and a sore thumb at the same time..... arghhhhh!
Don't give up. I'm amazed at what you've done so far, and know you'll keep losing as you persevere.
Sounds like things should turn around once you get off the BC pills. Although if you change high cal days at the same time you may not know for sure what did the trick.
ReplyDelete*sigh* Once again I typed out my comment and in brought me to the blog sign up thing. I clicked that I already caved and filled it out, and it brought me back there twice, then gave me the dreaded Error 404. Not sure if this will go through or not.
ReplyDelete*hugs* You know how these things go. You'll be ready to kill or die with frustration because you're doing all the right stuff and that scale is stubborn and stuck, and then --BAM-- you'll get a four pound loss in one week. You are the queen of consistency. Just keep doing what you do best and the scale WILL catch up.
*thumbkiss* Heal, little dude, heal and QUICKLY!
I'm sorry these pills are giving you fits. I'm on my new one as well and I have zero clue how I'll do once I'm "regular". Taking pills and bleeding every day kind of seems counterproductive, eh? Everything I've read says bc pills are so low-dose now that weight gain isn't nearly as common...and yet.... It's just frustrating to think this tiny pill can alter things so much. Keep working your plan and taking care of that thumb in the meantime. Women and our bodies...pfft.
