So, why are you cycling every three months? Is it planned?
I'm on Yaz and were I to chart it, I would say that I have that quasi period every three months, instead of in the four days that I'm allotted each month. I've been wondering what the heck is up with that and wondered if what you mentioned had anything to do with my experience.
Wow, I totally am out of it today. Didn't see till Otto mentioned.
I'm on (well now the generic of) seasonale. So it's 12 weeks of pills followed by a week of sugars.
I never tend to notice till I'm about to take the sugars that for up to a week before the last day I can be a little more than usual anxious, grumpy, tired, or just oddly tweaked. It prolly has to do withe the lack of movement on the scale, and the fatigue is likely the reason I wasn't working out quite as much as I had been previously.
It's always clear as day when I look back that there's a change and huge dip in energy right before the sugars, but since it's so seldom, I don't ever see it coming. Hell, I'm always surprised when I get to the sugars anyway. This time the anxiety and mood issues were minimal, but the fatigue was worse and all I want to do is sleep. Which is prolly why now that I'm on it I try really hard to not have to take anything for cramps (which are rare, luckily) because that would completely knock me out.
um, does that answer what you were asking? I'm a bit foggy today, and you've been spared an insane number of typos.

I'm good. I just want a nap. The last two days I've been really spacy, and that's saying something because I'm already easily distracted and hard to focus. Attention span of a gnat on crack with nicotine withdrawal. I think it makes me fun to talk to in public, because everyone I have to deal with seems to be half chuckling and smiling, but I don't really remember anything that I said. *shrug*
On the bright side, I'm drawing a pinup girl for someone, so for the 32.5 seconds at a time that I can focus, I get to see bewbiez.

I has that same problem myself (distracted, unable to focus and all that sort of rot).

Here's a twist of conversation I wasn't expecting. Yeesh!

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

whatever was on at the gym, not all bad, but mostly poppy.
I forgot how iiiinnnnteresting the gym could be.
Mister 80s was awsym. His daisy dukes, bleached hair, wifebeater, and 7.5 pound weights in super lateral swing -- which are rather similar to lateral raises but involve way more momentum, ROM, and back/hip involvement.
The little boy bros who spent forever looking for the 40 pounders so they could backswingcurl them, or whatever, after so brotasticly racking their 135 2rep benches, were adorable in their stairs when I put them back.
Other than that, nothing sexy. I wasn't doing well, and so just ended my workout when Otto was done, since the rest of the workout was just gonna aggravate my back.
music:
blind - the echoing green
lucia de lammermoor/the diva dance (5th element soundtrack)
suffocate - finger eleven
so alive - love and rockets
alive - mail order bitch
emotional disconnection - mail order bitch
Back at home, the whole weekend he gym should be a zoo, but certainly last night, as the fireworks were supposed to be visible (rained out) from the gym and so all members were welcome to watch and blahblah aka don't go to the gym this day.
Dropped the side planks because the shoulders were already domy and couldn't really support me. Considering the amount of planks I've been doing the last few months, skipping a couple days not all that important.
Walked for 30 min a half hour after the workout along the trails here.
Food has been on, largely protein, complex carbs, some fat. Energy lowish but bouncing back now that I'm back to being a guy. Weight is coming down steadily, but I'll go ahead and jinx myself by saying if I'm down .2 tomorrow I'll be at 2 pounds for the week.
The pants are no longer tight, not really loose yet. Boobs shrinking, dammit fucking piece of shit boobies that I will prolly keep cursing forever because I know how it goes. *sigh*
Saw Zohan (finally) and Hancock last night, both great.
headcache is back, keep fighting it, keeps coming back, pill time

Yay for the pants! Booo for the boobies....I know what you mean...like WTF...can't it come off at the butt first? Stupid rest of my family with huge boobies...and me not so much.
Anywhoooo...hope those pills beat your headache into submission.
I only count seasons where the Doctor wore a scarf.
Okay, you got me there. I know Tom Baker did, but I'm not sure if any of the others did. I have probably most of them in various formats (including some questionable VHS to DVD transfers, only because the source was poor). I always meant to go back and watch them from the start. They still run some of the older ones on TV around here as well.

If you haven't tried them, liquid Advil seem to keep my worst headaches at bay. It doesn't always get rid of the really bad ones, but makes them manageable... and in about 20 mins (if they work for you).
Funny thing, I recognized every episode, even if I couldn't name them, I've seen them. The two parter where the Daleks vs. The Cybermen was where Rose left the series. Sad day since I liked her character.
