Petty problems

[clevermanka]

My thighs and butt (more accurately: my quads, gluteus medius, and adductors) are so incredibly sore. Wow. I don't remember the last time I had DOMS this bad. Good workout, Trainer Chris D! Thank god for yoga tonight.

I am unhappy with my new nail polish color. China Glaze "Flying Dragon (Neon)" comes out streaky and thin-yet-gloppy. The glitter in it hardly shows at all. Three coats and it still doesn't look even. Also, it's a matte finish which it totally does not say on the label. I am going to ask Beauty Brands if I can return it. I am never going to wear this color again. I'm not even bothering to put on a top coat because it's coming off tonight as soon as I can get to a bottle of polish remover.

Because I am still not losing fat, and because I think it will help me get over my issues with food, I'm going to do the Whole 30 Program from the Whole9 folks. Anyone wanna embark on this craziness with me? No booze for thirty days! eek But I can do it! The only part I'm sad about is I won't drink with my girls before the Lady Gaga concert. But that's a small inconvenience in the grand scheme of being kick-assingly fit.



Last night I went to bed with an upset stomach (nausea, not cramping). I thought it was something I ate, but now I'm having some lower G.I. discomfort and bloating post-coffee. Hm. This isn't good. I need to make it to yoga tonight (see first paragraph of entry)! Stupid digestive tract better not sabotage my evening plans.

If you read the Whole9 website, they give lots of info on why this can be a good thing.

When you have digestive and/or autoimmune problems, eliminating causative foods provides welcome relief. I avoid diets and like to eat, too. This isn't a "diet" in the sense of "I'm doing this to lose weight so I can go back to eating normally" this is a "diet" in the sense of "my body is behaving sub-optimally and I am interested in a lifetime of positive eating habits to bring myself to heath."

Ah! Okay. That makes sense. I can see how that could be very useful. I'd somehow gotten stuck on the idea that it was a short-term weight loss program. (I only skimmed the website.)

Good heavens. No short-term weight loss programs in my house! =D

Go for it. Good luck. I hope it does everything you want it to and fluffy kittens.
