Here is to New Adventures

It is funny that yesterday I was complaining about how I was stuck in my career. I was certain that the company I had been interviewing for, wouldn't want me. I don't have a lot of experience and knowledge. But I was wrong. They wanted ME!

Today has been a whirlwind of a day full of emotions and talking. Before news started to spread, if it did spread, I wanted to tell the people I considered my work friends first. I know I have said that I don't have many friends because when I think of the term friend, I consider it to be someone that I trust, spend quality time with, and have them think of me when they need someone to talk to. Most of my work friends talk to me at work but most don't have much to do with me on nights and weekends. But I still wanted to be nice to them and give them a heads-up that I am leaving. It was a lot of talking today. A lot.

 What I ate:

Breakfast: pancakes and honey
Morning Snacks: mustard snack mix
Lunch: leftover Olive Garden
Afternoon Snack: dried apples
Dinner: turkey sandwich with stir-fried peppers and squash

Daily Challenges:

Reading: Once and For All by Sarah Dessen
Creativity: planning MNSSHP outfits
Exercise: walking Joann's
Self-Care: accepting a new job

I finished the day by stuffing more LuLaRoe into plastic bags. I am trying to finish this before the hurricane hits in case of flooding or anything else. I don't have any insurance on the clothing so if something happens to it, I am out almost $7,000. Talk about stress...

Tonight I also took a shower for the first time in way too long. I haven't cleaned my ear canals lately and those have been acting up due to the hurricane pressure but I will do that tomorrow. I have a hard time up keeping my hygiene during stressful periods. And right now with LuLaRoe, the new job, and the hurricane, stress is overwhelming.

Over and Out,
The Girl with IBS

What is IBS?

A few years ago, my doctor diagnosed my chronic and mysterious stomach pain as IBS. At the time, I could barely eat. I was living on the BRAT (banana, rice, applesauce, and toast) diet, losing weight rapidly, and barely sleeping. Before the diagnosis, I went through weeks without lactose, meat, soy, gluten, and other ingredients in an attempt to discover an allergy or intolerance. After several tests, we decided it was IBS and I would have to learn to manage the symptoms on my own. According to the Mayo Clinic: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. IBS is a chronic condition that you will need to manage long term. For me, IBS means nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping, and constipation when I eat large meals or too many No-No Foods. My No-No Foods include sweet, fried, and acidic foods. I have learned my body's ca...

Paint Your Pet

Remember when I used to have weekly incentive rewards and I actually met my challenge? Yeah I remember that too... Well, one of the rewards was a Paint Your Pet class at my local studio. And today was the day! The painting class was small, only myself and two other ladies. One of them was painting her pet goat, the other was painting her puppy for her husband's birthday. They were close friends but did a wonderful job of including me in conversations. I also loved my painting instructor and we chatted a lot. During the break, we walked over the brewery and my classmates tagged along. They were hesitant at first but when their much younger acquaintance ordered, they did too. I feel like I should have received commission for them! So I sipped my glass of cider and worked on my masterpiece. The painting looks just like my beautiful kitty and I am so happy. Maddie is my princess and her portrait turned out better than I could have expected. I loved spending the afternoon learning n...

Let's Just Start this Day with a Bang in the Head

Weigh-In Wednesday:  150.2 lbs So today started by getting my (rightfully but nonetheless) grumpy husband out the door for work. Next, it was weigh in time where I was greeted with a number in the 150's, again. Walked into work to see an email from a very rude coworker throwing me under the bus for her mistake. Followed by an inquiry from an upset coworker about an incident that was taken care of weeks ago. I explained everything twice and then stopped trying. The system is down and half of our server is acting up. Why I am here? Oh yeah, because I pay mortgage for a house I am not in, payments on a car I barely drive, and I have a crippling amount of student debt for a degree that have provided me with a higher position than I am currently working. If ever I needed comfort food, it was now. Here is what I ate today: Breakfast - pancakes Snack - cherries Lunch - turkey sandwich and popcorn Snack - peanut butter crackers Dinner - *cheat meal* I am just wanting all the th...
