A Message For All Men

Hello!

This message is to be shared with all men... ALL of them!!!

With October coming to a close I feel the need to express my opinions about the impending Movember. My opinions may not be what you expect... so keep reading!

I welcome all, yes I mean ALL, weird-furry-caterpillar-like, haven't-actually-hit-puberty-yet or shaggier-than-expected fuzzy grossnesses 

AS LONG AS YOU ACTUALLY DONATE MONEY TO CANCER!!!!

 

If you are not planning on donating and are just growing facial hair please do not make any attempt to justify the parasitic looking thing on your face as being in support of mens cancers. What's on your face is really only notably helpful in the fight against mens cancers if funds are raised.

And that is my official stance on Movember.

Happy facial hair grooming to my friends with a Y chromosome!

Ok... I Quit! : A Grumpy Rant by Yours Truly

So first off sorry for the TMI but it's my time of the month and I'm grouchy about it!

And now for a link to the Time of the month Tiger!why did this happen to me today

Ok so the reason I find myself particularly unimpressed is that my body seems to be playing some weird trick on me and I'm having my "time of the month" more than once a month!!! After some research I have found that is is most likely a result of weight loss plus a diet improvement... which makes me want to throws things!

If you care you can read this brief explanation


It's like mother nature being like, " Hey you want to improve you life? Ok well, for having the audacity to try and make positive change I'm going to sick 'Aunt Flow' on you every 3ish weeks!!!"

In other news (which is apparently the source to my current problem) I am very close to no longer being medically classifiable as obese. Apparently that's maybe only true for some of the more forgiving BMI charts but I'll take it.



Yay, for only being overweight... it sounded more exciting in my head. I did do a boot camp over the last few months of summer but I've actually had more success just being out of my house and away from the fridge more.

I don't feel like I eat very much but when I'm out of my house I don't tend it pick up a quick snack. I eat the food that I packed and that's that. And if it wasn't for the feeling that I need to buy stocks in Midol I am generally feeling quite well.

Oh and as I mentioned before I have changed my diet. I've increased my protein intake and I increased my fiber intake and reduced carbohydrates, refined sugars and dairy.  I feel like the protein helps me feel more full and have greater energy.
