Day 3/6 (Usually 6)
Oh my gosh. Yesterday was a bad day concerning TOM and all that goes with it. I ended up eating 2000 calories. I was just HUNGRY! But it wasn’t that I ate a lot, I just ate high calorie foods. I was craving peanut butter sandwich. That was after I ate tootsie pop and 4 pieces of melting chocolates and salmon noodle salad. ARGH! I was even aware of what I was doing, but I just had to eat peanut butter. 2 Tbsp. 190 calories. Sigh. Pizza for supper-580 calories. That would have been okay if I would haven’t cut out the salmon noodle or pb&j. Anyways, I was in SO MUCH pain I popped midol like candy and tried to read my HTML and JavaScript books. Midol always zones me out so I wasn’t too successful.
When I went to work, I was on my feet for almost 2 hours straight—not good. I left 15 minutes early and ….drumroll…. given TODAY OFF! WOOT WOOT. I came home and put my feet up. My mom had heavy cycles too. Even though it’s so much pain, I’m actually glad for those days because I use them for an excuse to TAKE_A_BREAK from stress of life.
Ed was awesome, maybe a little TOO awesome, as he brought home chocolate cream filled vanilla Oreo cookies. I had 3—170 calories. He also brought home cookies-n-cream ice cream (Kemps), which I passed on. Tonight I may save room in the cal-count for some of that!
I prayed before I got out of bed this morning. I said: “Lord help me today, please.” LOL… I’m going to try and live on ibuprofen if I need pain killer. That won’t zonk me out and I’ll be able to live decently throughout my day.
I think I do like planning my menu the previous day. I guess I wont beat myself up if I alter it somewhat. I was at a loss this morning and just ate oatmeal because I was over-hungry. Since I didn’t eat what was OnPlan yesterday. I will eat try to follow that plan today.
Tomorrow is Saturday and I work my second job (tentatively planned) after noon some time. My plan will be (if I am feeling up to it)
Exercise: Bike ride
Snack: b. bar
breakfast: egg & toast
snack: ½ grapefruit
lunch: Salmon Noodle, carrot sticks
snack: cheese stick
dinner: [I'll have to come back to this one]
Snack: Tootsie-pop for something sweet, fruit for something more filling.
Today the tasks are:
-
netting over lilies so deer won’t eat them
-
bank
-
make cupcake earrings for my niece
-
cookies – maybe. We DO have Oreos.
-
If I feel up to it, cut out new garden for seeds.

leisure ride on the pink Trek Cruiser
And I’m finally on the 3fc FB group!

ugh…I commiserate with your TOM woos…I don’t get too much pain anymore, but for two days, boy do I bleed! I know I have fibroids, and my mom had to have a hyster because of them when she was about my age…I need to eventually do something about them, but for now, I just deal with it.
Glad you made it to the group on fb. I will have to send you a fr request! LOL
I dont even want to know how to make those homemade oreos things…LOL they sound delish!
What a coincidence. TOM came yesterday for me and I was really dealing with some major cramping. I don’t know about you but the pain also hits my lower back. I was SO SORE yesterday waiting at the doctor’s office. I had to get up and walk around and stretch out my lower back. For some reason, it was much harder yesterday than usual.
I hate TOM. Seriously, it transforms me into a different person. I don’t have the physical pain - just the mental craziness.
Is there a site we can see your cupcake earrings? I have a cupcake fetish, lmao!
I’m there on FB somewhere, I just haven’t signed on in forever. Need to get there too. Have a wonderful weekend!!
