It seems like I got in to see an endocrinologist just in time. Just a couple months ago I could do an hour on the elliptical. Now cleaning the bathtub leaves me collapsed and hyperventilating on the floor for 10 minutes before making it back to bed. I'm so exhausted and sore and achey. I know lots of people (including here) have chronic ( Read more... )

Bleh, I had a (big) chocolate chip muffin in the middle of the night and ate another today, during the day. I'm going to try to eat mostly protein and fruit the rest of the day... I don't have any vegetables and there's a blizzard going on now, so no going to the grocery store. I'm going to exercise soon. I also want to meditate today. I ( Read more... )

I really do feel better after I exercise! I have been exercising lately when I get a bit anxious and it really helps. Also I dislike my body less when I exercise. It's easier than it used to be for me to focus on getting more toned instead of worrying about losing more weight. I'd like to get back to my "ideal weight" assigned to me by my ( Read more... )

Today is my first day without Ritalin LA and my appetite is insanely huge.:( I have more healthy foods to eat now, though. Michael went to the grocery store without me since it's huge sensory overload for me (he's mostly fine in a crowd as long as nobody is chewing gum or typing). I'm having the desire to eat when I'm not even hungry. I just ( Read more... )

Yoga went well. I didn't find it difficult, except for the "tree" pose, because I apparently lack balance. I will have to work on that. The positions requiring more flexibility, though, I did well on. It will probably be my last class:( I don't think I will have transportation next week unless I can convince my mother to drop me off and pick ( Read more... )

I didn't do much yoga and meditation tonight due to a headache. I imagine some kinds of yoga can help some types of headaches and I just looked it up now. Also I think my headaches might be related to having the wrong prescription of contacts/glasses so meditating with my eyes closed might help. Maybe if I'd given it more time... Instead I took ( Read more... )

Today started off difficult with me worrying about finances and feeling guilty. I'm less worried about money now. I think I can keep myself from spending foolishly and I have less expenses next month. I redid my budget and added in an extra $50 for unexpected expenses, which will help. I also bought supplements this month that will last me for ( Read more... )

Today Michael and I exchanged my cat food I bought yesterday for a different kind because Bunny was having trouble digesting that type of cat food. Then my brother brought us some food to eat that he picked up after work. Michael and I went on a bike ride into downtown Glen Ellyn, returned a library book, ate ice cream at the snack shop, and ( Read more... )

I woke up very late again, due to my mother calling to let me know she was going to go for a bike ride. I decided to get up and go with her. It was quite hot today and I felt sick by the time we reached the ice cream shop in Wheaton. I took one of my Zofran and then had strawberry cheesecake ice cream inside where it was cooler. Then we rode ( Read more... )

Today Michael and I went for a bike ride and I feel better knowing I exercised a decent amount today (though I will do stretches, etc. again tonight). I'm reading and watching more X-Files. My mood has been good. I think my natural mood is a bit elevated, but because of my bipolar it often sinks very low or my obsessions turn bad which makes my ( Read more... )
