Did it....but think I'll go back to pills.

On the ring, I now have a lot of discharge and I’m even more afraid to solicit for oral sex with my boyfriend (one of my last-ditch efforts to try and get turned on), and I’m afraid of it coming out every time I have a bowel movement. I have to think of it more than I had to for remembering to take pills. I haven’t seen any change in my libido anyway – I still don’t feel much of anything down there anymore :(. So I think I’ll save myself the $15 a month and go back to pills.



declutter my life (read all 3 entries…)
Well, I've:

- scanned in all my loose papers (especially from school and filing folder)
- donated a bunch of old clothes, cleaned out my closet
- cleaned and cleaned out the bathroom and cabinet under the sink
- organized my desk and drawer
- organized storage closet (sewing stuff)
- organized my budget and spending
- cleaned up the study
- donated some old cooking utensils, other than that the kitchen is pretty organized
- have a plan for the coming school year for organizing my classes and notes and reviewing them.

The only thing thats not really organized is my head (and computer, for some part). Working on that.



Develop an exercise routine and stick with it (read all 2 entries…)
My exercise plan

3 Motivations:

1: strengthening and straightening my back (scoliosis)
– 30 minutes of Pilates and 2 specific weak-side targeted exercises, 3 times a week

2: Adding muscle mass to increase warmth (I’m cold too often)
– 30 minutes, 3 times a week of strength training with weights at my gym, targeting butt, legs, hips, back, core, shoulders, chest, everything. Muscle everywhere will help keep me warm, and also prep me for backpacking.

3: Backpacking training
– 30 minutes, 3x a week, of aerobic exercise to help breathing and endurance for backpacking.
– strength training targeting the muscles in (2) used for backpacking

So all in all, 9 30 minute exercise sessions, or 4.5 hours a week. I am already active, but this might be a little much at first. I exercise maybe 3 hours a week, 4 at most currently. And now school is starting. But I’m hoping this will be my ultimate goal to work to.
