Cute, but fat.

Moo.

Actually what does it feel like to be a cow? hee hee

This is my first post in two weeks!  Life has been in the way of my idle time, so I haven’t been ‘journaling’ like I was in the past.  Will make it a priority this week as it really seems to keep me on track.

Actually, my title “I feel like a cow” is because I can imagine what a bovine must feel like somedays. Kind of hefty and uncomfortable! hee hee.  Rest assure, I really don’t look like a cow, I keep my udders under wraps.  This is TOM (time of month) week so I have been indulging quite a bit.  The weather has been a bit humid and rainy, plus my son who has severe special needs has been very aggressive towards me for the last two weeks.  I feel like a bruised cow, actually.

Goals for this week: Shed my cow like image, cut way back on snacks and increase water and exercise. Very doable I believe.

I already feel better by journaling.  Another goal: to visit 3fatchicks website daily. I’ve been a bit lax on that also.

By the way, I adore cows, so any heifers lurking don’t be offended!

hear me roar…..ready….here I go……ROAR!!!   I am roaring that it’s my TOM again and I feel icky!  I really don’t growl, I purr more like a kitten.

Anyway TOM always seems to put a damper on my mood as well as my eating/exercising plan.   Doesn’t matter what I do to tweak my exercise and eating the scale will always go up.  I do not eat a high sodium diet and I drink billions of gallons of water daily, so when I weigh in and if the scale happens to go up, it will be reflective of my body being a woman.

I didn’t even exercise today!  Though, the day is far from over maybe I can whirl up enough strength to do an exercise DVD.

Aah…the Perils of my Period!

Thank gosh I’m fortitudinous….

Or I would be going crazy with my TOM blues. Yes, a continuation of yesterday!  I’m bucking up and letting it happen (like I have a choice) and I am looking at the rainbow on the other side (when it stops).

Naturally Saturday is weigh in day. Have not missed a weigh in since I began this journey February 2007.  I know the scale is going up uP UP!  Last month I gained 3 pounds from TOM!  It took me a month to lose those 3 pounds. Grrr…

Okay, no more talk of TOM, well at least for now. There is always next month! 

Sigh….this entry will be nothing but ramblings on TOM!  Time of Month…sheesh, just hearing it bloats me up! I am 43 years old (gulp) and have had the monthly visitor since I was 10 years old. OMG!!  33 years of this nonsense!  I have a very low sodium diet and drink enough water to float Noah’s Ark. I exercise daily, sometimes twice a day.  It’s not my diet making me feel icky, it’s just the hormonal change going on. UGH! 

Thanks for letting me ramble….
