We carry a line of Latino-themed "Remedios" (remedies) old time herbal stuff like Jamaica tea for blood pressure, etc. They also had passion flower for sleep and when I have drunk it, it helped. And it did help some.
I woke up with 2 cats in my bed, Cleo and Biscuit. Biscuit was his usual magnificent land whale self and very rumbly, Cleo actually sat on my abdomen as I lay on my back and purred at me too. She is getting incrementally bolder with me.
If you are an old time LCF poster I have a "jiggly puff" (retained water probably a precursor, please God let it be a precursor, to weight loss) on my abdomen so I am hoping to see some losses. But I have the quirk I don't look at my body much so not sure how long it has been there. Last couple days I weighed it was 190 which was an overnight jump of about 7 pounds on some very clean eating, so I have to assume this is menstrual.
I am up an entire clothing size NOT happy about this - I had planned to buy some cute jeans after work. I do hear from my friend who does apparel markdowns jeans are going on clearance soon so I will have to keep an eye out. I would like a couple of 14's because I will get down there eventually and it is really hard to find cute, non destroyed, flare leg jeans.
I like the flair, of a flare leg, and it's also cooler (as in temperature) to wear. I have a feeling it's going to be a warm summer.
By the way I can't do diuretics because it is apparently VERY BAD with my medication. So I won't. But I am tempted about now.
So I slept OK and got up at a decent hour; I put my "fat pants" in the wash so I have something cute to wear. I can still fit most of my 16's but according to a size chart I just accessed my waist is more of an 18 right now. My hips, on every size chart, are consistently a size smaller than my waist so I will just have to live with looser in the hips long term I think. I have a 7 inch gap between waist and hips. Which is pretty much what I had as a teen, as well.
I woke up with a headache today so I took some Excedrin around 4. I have the oddest feeling I will see Beau today and get to say goodbye. We will see. It was nice knowing him and hopefully he will come back.
I was told I can't leave candy in my work area anymore so I will have to carry it in my vest. Cue very crowded work vest! It will make me look fat but so be it. I think the candy is important.
I will come back and post more before I go.
I just spent a lot on the cats... pretty funny actually. I would NEVER just drop $125 on myself but for the cats? You bet. Chewy is like half the price of my store when it comes to cat food, I'd be an idiot not to get that. Best price on Advantage 2 and my store doesn't even sell it so no guilt there. And some DE I can sprinkle around the house and not worry about getting the cats sick.
