Achhoo, I have a cold, I overindulged in chocolate yesterday and I am having a pity party for one... Okay, today I have done much better and started the day off well...

Anyhoo, one really mad customer put me in an awful mood (why don't people realize cashiers/sales associates don't really have the power to cut deals) for the rest of the day... I was completely acting like TOM was close, but it's still a week and a half away... I was weepy and everything was ticking me off.. My digital watch even froze (luckily I found the receipt today).

Cheers!

Ali - I'm sorry you are having such a crappy time.. I hate customers sometimes. They just don't realize it's a head office thing, we don't do anything about pricing or really anything on the store level. Pooheads! You could be dealing with some TOM, sometimes if I get symptoms 2 weeks in advance, and most books say that lots of women start to get the symptoms that far in advance. Relax, don't have too much coffee, and just realize this ISN'T you.. it's your hormones!

As for me? I'm feeling alright, Still quitting sugar, wheat and caffiene.. although I had some coffee yesterday. But I am back on track! This is going to be a lifelong struggle for me, so I expect some slip ups. I've decided to do South Beach a la Aimee for the next little while, what does that mean? I'm going to add some yogurt with organic berries, and brown rice and oatmeal. My body doesn't like what I'm doing to it now, so this is my solution. Lets hope it works!

Hey Ali and Aimee!

Ali - I am normally emotional. I found when I went off the pill I was worse, with the weepiness and I couldn't snap out of it when I was upset. It really sucked! But now I am a mess. I was crying into the office today b/c they had a "toy mountiain" commercial that tugged on the heartstrings...how lame am I.

Aimee- I think cutting back is great, but cutting OUT is not so great. My dad did the induction phase and by the end he was ravenous for some carbs. But you can introduce other foods on South beach, so you keep up the Aimee-izing. Listen to your body (ie: if you arecraving milk, you probably need the vitamins and minerals in milk).

Well, I am under the gun with work the next 2 weeks!! I am out of town from Tues-fri next week and this week is scrambling to get everything done! YIKES.

I am going to take a 30 min walk at noon though - come **** or high water - it's so nice out and I need the air and exersize!!
