MoonGoddess's Path

Hy There - I totally love those shoes - Im not a girly pink person but would so wear those!!!

Glad to hear you had a great Valentine's Day - Mine was good till we watched Grandma take her last breathe - it was so sad and such and ironic too...We celebrate love and family on V-day - I celebrate with ym girls and my Granny and Aunty...but Grandma spent the evening with Grandpa on V-day so that is how we are lookin at it.

I hope everythign works itself out soon for you girly...I hate that tired need to sleep constantly feeling.

Yoga and medication is good even when you are tired...that is why I do alot of Yoga...:)Take care chicky
 
Well I managed to stay awake an entire day... which is an achievement, sadly.

Even managed to get in over 4000 steps throughout the day. I am tracking the calories & was just at 1780 for the day. I'm just striving for more than the day before at the moment... unless I get the burst of energy & then watch out world!

Unfortunately, I am gaining weight due to an uncomfortable side effect that I am hoping goes away REALLY soon. So yeah... watching my fiber content closely today too. Got 38 grams yesterday! Eek! I think thats the most I have since I started tracking.

I don't feel as foggy today... course its just starting.

I had an amazingly intense dream last night that just scared the mess out of me at times, but over all left me with a warrior woman feeling to begin the day off with, so I can't complain, other than I wanted to stay in that dream world a bit longer, but I was awake - before the alarm went off! (I know kill the run on sentence...nah.)

Today WILL be great. & then tonight is the Full Moon eclipse to look forward too! :D
 
CRAP! I did it AGAIN!... its a Wednesday & I have been thinking its a Thursday.

dang it.

Time to change the post for the Hotties in 2008 challenge. Maybe I can lose a pound overnight....since I know what its from & it ain't fat. (TMI)
 
I walked into the gym last night and pondered aloud why it was so damn crowded -it was thursday after all... and attendance usually peters out the end of the week - imagine my shock and horror when I found out it was indeed - only tuesday...
 
It gets tricky during a holiday week, depending on whether you had President's Day off. Hopefully you're energy will soon pick up. We're routing for you!
 
I didn't have it off, but I had to take it off since I was stuck to my pillow.

I'm thinking of calling in tomorrow since I double the dosage & I feel like its going to zonk me again. Plus if it doesn't then I get a well deserved me day. I have Friday off, so it would make a long weekend (other than the HR course on Saturday, which is why I have Friday off). Dunno... it is getting wacky.
 
there was a holiday this week?

we don't have a paid day off until Memorial Day... makes this time of year uber sucky :D

Hopefully the meds won't zonk you too muchand you will get some enjoyment out of the midweek day off... or at least get to park on a comfy sofa, a snuggly blanket, the puppy, and remote control and a day of bad television...
 
Sorry to hear your meds are making you so tired.

Funny thing, I keep thinking today is Thursday as well. Thursday is my Friday at work, so you can only imagine my sadness when i realize what day it really is, lol :)

Keep hangin in there.

Hope you are feeling more energetic. Not disagreeing with your dr but is it possible this dosage is already suitable without increasing it? Just remember to advocate for yourself and ask questions if something's not right. Also, I know from what you've said before that adding more drugs is the last thing you want to do, but possibly you could take something just temporarily to get some energy for work (like Ritalin or something, which mom had added because she was tired and sleeping constantly, she's now off of it though and doing fine with her energy levels).
 
I'm staying at the lower dose...for now at least. Spoke with my doc about it & he says maybe I'm just really sensitive to medication.. well yeah I mentioned that. I'm trying something new today in that I took the Klonopin early & am waiting about an hour before taking the Cymbalta so see if maybe the combination of the two at one time is the problem.

I also took today off anyway & plan on relaxing & just pampering myself. Everyone at work has the Flu & working anyway, so I do not need that crap in addition to everything else.

Watched the lunar eclipse last night bundled up. It was so beautiful & spiritual. I went to sleep feeling at peace with all in the world. Dunno if it was just the moment or if the meds are kicking in & that helped to enable me to realize the beauty of the moment, but it felt great.

...now if it will just help me to realize the beauty of a good jog session. I might push myself later today & just try to get my energy back up.

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT EVERYONE.
 
I watched the Lunar Eclipse as well. Its amazing what things lie beyond what we see every day. Makes me feel peaceful too- without the meds. lol.

Have a good thursday. I'm going to try to see the beauty of that job session today too. lol.
 
Glad to hear your feeling okay about things Moon. Sounds like you have a doctor that is willing to work with you. I missed the lunar eclipse last night... I like when things like that turn out to be a spiritual/peaceful experience.

I would avoid the flu too. I'm so glad that I haven't picked anything up like that lately (knock on wood). I was sick back at the middle of January, so maybe I have gone thru my bought of it...

OH so happy that is finally Thursday and I am not just imagining anymore, lol.

Hi MG!

I've been awol for awhile. But hopefully can find some more time to get online. It just seems like the weekday time just goes by too fast (especially in the evening.)

That's cool you got to watch the eclipse. I didn't. I was up, but it comes all together on the south side of my house where we have no windows...and I wasn't about to stand outside to see it. ;)
 
Today has been great so far.

I feel normal. Happy even. I don't feel all zombie-ish or fatigued. Just me.

Made it to my therapy & then on to the grocery store, which I should not have done on an empty stomach. Its been a while since I actually went. Got lotsa good stuff, just more than I needed. Started some beef in the slow cooker for dinner & had a treat when I found out that they make the quick mix single serving cake things in minis. Had the Molten Carmel cake (150 calories) & it made my day. I figure was long as it fits in the daily limits & I can get fiber & everything (it had 1 gram), I can splurge a touch now & then. I like the option of getting the fix without having to bake the cake & then pimp it out to the office mates or have it laying around the house tempting me.

Checked my blood pressure & it seems good. 112/78. The Cymbalta could raise it so I will keep checking it just to be safe. Felt good to see that the numbers are normal. I'm in a healthy range on one thing at least.

Checked my REALAGE & found that its gone down. I'm 30.4 chronologically, but it has me at 25.6, down -4.8. I'll take that! :D I was worried that adding in the depression & medications would up it a bit.

Hope everyone is having a great day, no matter what the weather... thanks for the support. Things are looking up.

Can't wait to see the SELF magazine challenge details. Hopefully in 3 days I will be up to it. I say I am going to do it every year & I think I have actually finished it once... many years ago. Maybe its time again.
 
What is the SELF magazine challenge? I've never heard of it. I'm glad to hear that you are having a good day. That's awesome. Thank goodness it's Friday. I'm looking forward to relaxing over the weekend and getting in a long run!
 
So bummer today.

I missed my class. I totally freaked out. I guess I hadn't taken the Klonopin in time to calm me down & the thought of sitting stuck in some room, where I felt inadequate with a bunch of strangers just was more than I could handle. Its not something I can go late to so I had to call in sick. Which due to my freak out, I was... my stomach tends to MAKE me slow down when I get so stressed out. Argh. I thought I was doing so well. Course now I feel better. Meds kicked in & I got out of the class for today. I can be such a loser at times... but I just have to keep reminding myself that their will be set backs & I just have to keep going. Can't curl up & die.

Burgos suggested we go on a walk later just to get me out of the house & since I was complaining about not exercising lately. I feel guilty eating, which I know... whole nother issue... but I'm being honest here. I got stuff to make lasagna later today, which I can't resist so I know I will eat.

Yesterday was so good. I had energy. Felt happy & optimistic.... just sucks to start a day out all crappy like.

It WILL get better. Just had to vent.
 
Don't feel like a loser at all for not wanting to go to your class. YOU are NOT a loser... you should be commended for trying to make things better in your life. You have taken the step to get meds to help you. And you are trying to diet and exercise which will make you feel better about yourself too.
