I tried putting vanilla protein powder in my coffee this morning instead of creamer. It's ... not terrible, except I need to stir pretty much continuously.
I have not been swimming in the last week. AF showed up with a vengeance and I just can't get it up to go immerse myself in water when I feel like this.
I am about to officially resign from my job because I have accepted a new position. I told my boss Monday, and will tell the rest of the faculty today.
It's about to be officially official. I'm moving to Indiana!
So... My nurse thinks I may have a hernia. I'm going to the clinic today because I've had some annoying lower abdominal pain that I thought was just ligaments. It's stayed in the same spot all week and doesn't really go away, so I guess I'll see what my doctor says. Has anyone had this happen?
Nothing exciting here. AF started today which is good b/c I always run like $#!t the week before. And a whole bunch of unnecessary drama coming from tennis. I am the captain of my mixed team as well as the tennis chair for our local swim and tennis club. In the last 10 days, it has been completely drama filled (I know 1st world problems), but I am just sick of it. People need to grow up!

The number on the scale got to me today. I felt a little bloated and knew I shouldn't have stepped on the scale but I was hoping to see a happy number. I need to stop weighing myself. Nothing has changed and I'm not going to magically be fat again the day after I ate a cookie...or 4. This whole journey is so full of ups and downs. Huge ups this weekend and one minor down. I'll be good once I get my workout in.
My shoulder just isn't getting any better. I have a follow up appointment in a couple of days and I am afraid that they will want to keep injecting me with steroids which I do not want to do. I think that I am just going to have to suck it up and live with the fact that I have a messed up shoulder and work with it. Makes me grumpy because it has really stalled training and future plans for lifting competitions.
AF is here with a vengeance and I feel like a bloated whale today. I just want to go back to sleep. I've fallen off the wagon with my eating and I really need to pick myself back up and get going again. I don't think I'm going to make it on this round of my DietBet. H was an ass about it this morning.
I'm toying with the idea of trying one of those subscription dinner plans like Blue Apron to shake things up a bit.
Okay, since there is talk of this in this thread, and I don't want to start a whole new thread for this, I need some TMI-type advice!
I typically stop my BCP on a Friday, and AF shows up on Sunday. Well, it's scheduled to show up the day of my marathon. Would you skip the placebo week for just that one month so you wouldn't start on the day of your marathon? I should've planned this better...

katyintx When I was taking BCP I would do this at least annually for vacation, so that's what I would do. The thought of dealing with that during a marathon sounds hellish to me. Also, how far out from your marathon are you? Would you have time to adjust it by a week now, so that it's done before your marathon?
Congrats emilyj. It's probably inappropriate and not good timing, but if you choose to go out/announce in a blaze of glory style, I would not be disappointed to hear the story.
Apparently my weight is shifting to my upper arms/boobs. The scale hasn't changed, but lately every single thing I put on is tight in my arms/armscye, which is uncomfortable. Thanks, grandma.
I'm not looking forward to my rainy run this afternoon. I'm going right to dinner at a friends after (super casual, which is good!) but I will still look like a drowned rat, lol.

I have one from pregnancy. It's non symptomatic but will have to be repaired if (fingers crossed) I get pregnant again

I'm less than a month out, so no. Ha, I should've planned better! I'm not sure how I didn't realize it until three days ago.

At any rate, you'll be fine just starting a new pack.
I tried to plan it out about 4 months out from my wedding and ended up messing up my counting and I still had to make a last minute adjustment. It happens.
There are bad storms rolling thru here today. I brought myself to go to the gym tonight after work since it probably won't be safe to run outside. It was cold and damp last night so I didn't do a run and went to spin instead. Im so burnt out I think it's going to take every ounce to get myself to the gym. Thank god I'm in taper.

Good luck this afternoon! I blew off my run last night so now I should go tonight and we are going to have storms too (though they seem like they are going to be worse your way, stay safe!). It's not a huge deal because I'm probably going to be running at the treadmill at the Y, but I feel guilty having the kids out in potential tornado conditions. I should have just gone last night.
I'm getting so tired. The last two weeks have been so crazy that I've had to get up early in the mornings to on the treadmill or else my hm training won't happen. I have huge deadlines at work and all I can do is stare into space all day. I obviously should be rethinking my priorities and focusing on my productivity at work, but instead I'm realizing that my working out/health has become more of a priority to me. I need more sleep.
Everyone is freaking out about the winter storm we're getting today and I'm........not sad about it. It's about time winter actually looked like winter instead of the sloppy, muddy mess it's been lately.
It's already snowing here and everyone is FREAKING OUT. Goodness gracious, I know it's been an easy winter and this is one of our only bad snow storms but calm the f*ck down already. #chicagodrama
My back has been REALLY bothering me lately (I have a slipping vertebrae) and I'm pretty sure it's not the running but the yoga that is bothering it. Maybe all the twisting and bending? I thought the yoga would help with core strength but I'm going to lay off for a few weeks and see if that helps.
And lastly, I experienced some blatant sexism at my job back in early December and it's STILL bothering me. Mainly because it was from a woman and because I know that even though I fought back at her, she didn't understand what was wrong with it (or if she did, wouldn't admit it). There is nothing I can do now, and I know I need to move one but it's hard because I want to be an advocate for women in my company with a LOT of women but very few women in leadership positions like mine.

emilyj, Congratulations!!!! You deserve to have an amazing new job!!!
...but this means we won't get our bike ride in this spring.

I found out the hard way just how late at night is too late to work out. Sleep seemed pretty non-existent last night, and now I am a zombie. That speedwork on the treadmill tonight is going to be really interesting. Stupid nasty rain.
