That Red Devil

Not to get too Too-Much-Information on everyone but since this is a blog for me and my journey, I've gotta say it: Periods suck. Periods suck because I crave lots of food. Periods suck because my body feels all funky and weird. Periods suck because I'm super moody and often turn into someone I don't really like to be. It makes me less patient than I normally am. It makes me snappier than I normally am. It makes me sadder than I normally am. It also makes me HEAVIER than I normally am. So bottom line: periods suck.

I was on plan all last week and all of today but somehow, this morning, I gained 2 pounds. After looking things up, it seems like it may just be a temporary water gain thing, especially since I haven't given into any of the temptations.

My leggings feel looser than normal. My skirt isn't stretching in the funky way that it does sometimes.

Today was a busy day. Had a million things to do and somehow managed to do all of them (and still have a couple things going after I write this blog). Probably the most memorable part of the day was my initiation into Kappa Delta Pi. I've been joking around with my boyfriend about this for a while because it sounds like I'm getting myself into some sort of sorority. Rest assured, KDP is an international honor society for educators. I got an email after transcripts came out last semester about being nominated. In passing, I filled out the stuff without completely reading. Today, I learned that Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt and John Dewey were all members of this organization- 3 people that I admire for many reasons, many of those reasons probably obvious ones.

For the rest of today, I plan on getting all of my stuff done, obviously, but I also plan on just lying in bed, sipping tea and online shopping. Why? Because periods suck.

To happy happy weeks!

Love,
Carol
