I have three letters for you, see if you can guess what they are.
PMS
Normally PMS is no big deal for me. I get a little irritable one day then I'm all better by the next. This has not been like that....AT ALL. This has been about 4 days of pure hell. Talk about debilitating. Seriously. I couldn't quite figure out how to do or say anything. I was crying (balling my eyes out) for no reason at random moments then I'd dry up as quick as it started and go on with my day. I had moments of horrifyingly violent thoughts. Like BAD. Then I just wanted to crawl under a rock and hide the next moment. I told Accountabilibuddy that I was actually scaring myself because I didn't know that I would be able to contain myself from one moment to the next and I was really afraid that I'd just blow up on some innocent bystander.
It has never ever been this bad for me. I think the worst part is that I could actually see it happening. I knew what I was thinking and feeling and doing and saying was totally crazy and irrational and unnecessary but I just couldn't stop it. I knew it was hormone horror but I couldn't control it. There was a time in my life when I enjoyed being out of control but that is no longer the case. Thank god.
The good news is that I think it has passed. Finally! It really felt as though I was suffocating. Ok, deep breaths, shake it off.
Moving on to something productive....
I mentioned in a post a few days ago that I had a new wonderful plan for improving my food again. Lately, I've been feeling like my diet has been a little lacking. Normally, I love to cook and to try new recipes. I haven't really done much of that in the past month though. Why? I don't know, lazy I guess. Bored maybe. So obviously I needed to do something to shake it up a bit.
What did I do? I bought this at my favorite used book store.
Accountabilibuddy is a good little WW and every so often she'll throw a recipe my way that she finds online. Every one of them I've made has been absolutely delish. So I thought, why not go get myself a good ole fashioned cookbook and just make my way through it. That's right, my plan is to cook every single recipe in the book.
There are 500 recipes in this book which should keep me busy for a long time. If I will actually make it through all of them no one knows. But at least it's a plethora of healthy recipes, some old school comfort food turned healthy, some trying to be gourmet, some super simple, and others a little more challenging. Breakfast, breads, meats, grains, veggies, desserts, etc. It's all in there. And I'm going to make it ALL.
Does anyone have experience with this book? Have you enjoyed it?
