If I Can Do It Once... 6 months ago

Well, I lost 15 pounds over the summer. I was down to 130 in August. Unfortunately, I gained them all back over the holiday season, which is par for the course for me. So, I’d like to get back down to 130, maybe even 125. I’ve managed to do it every spring for the last two years. If I can do it once, I can do it again.

I'm Gonna Do It. For Real This Time. 6 months ago

I was doing so well, and then I reached that point where you start to think “I’m doing great! That means I can allow myself to slack a little.” But, moderation and I do not mix. I don’t have the control required to re-introduce “bad” foods in smaller amounts. I am an extreme person. I need to keep myself on a tight leash, otherwise I will over-indulge.

So, here’s yet another list of the things I plan to do to improve my eating habits:

1) Eat more greens

2) Eat more fish

3) Consume more protein

4) Eat more whole wheat products

5) Continue eating lots of yogurt

6) Continue to stay away from caffeine

7) Curb my daily intake of sweets

8) Go back to calorie counting

9) Utilize my food journal once again

I’m keeping it simple for now. I’ll refine my goals as I go along.

Trouble With the Lady Bits...AGAIN! 6 months ago

The symptoms of my vulvodynia have been getting worse. For the last six months I’ve been having frequent pain flares, each a little worse than the last. Once I started on pain medication back in 2006 my pain flares became less and less frequent, and could always be traced back to a specific trigger. Now, there are no triggers. The pain just comes and goes as it pleases. Sex is completely off the table. I can’t do it without suffering intense pain.

I can’t live like this. So, here’s what I plan to do to improve the situation. In no particular order…

1) Remember to practice healing visialization everyday, and balance my chakras every other day.

2) Schedule that pelvic sonogram my gynecologist wants me to have.

3) Speak to my gynecologist about raising my Elavil dosage.

4) Speak with her about the possibile benefits of physical therapy.

5) Get a referral to a neurologist or pelvic pain specialist who can conduct tests to see if I have pudendal neuralgia.

6) Eat healthier in order to build up my immune system.
