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.

It makes me wonder if it really would change my life that drastically. I mean, all that I would be giving up would be dairy, and I'm not sure I'm too thrilled to give up cream in my coffee. I bet it would drastically change the life of someone like my brother who lives off of sugar and processed food. But me?

And cheese. I love it.

When are you starting?

I start August 1! I would start today, but I already bought a quart of Iwig cream this weekend, and my breakfast casserole for the week contains feta. I refuse to waste food, so there's no starting until those are eaten. If I run out of both before August 1, I'll start earlier.

I suspect that dairy might be the culprit in my recent digestive issues and my body's stubborn hanging onto belly fat. I can't say for sure, but it just feels likely. You know? And if giving up dairy for 30 days, three months, half a year, whatever...if it gets me over these stupid bouts of pain and nausea, I'm good with that.
