Anyhoo....I knew this wasn't going to be my best day.... After I dropped the boys off for school, I made an exceptionally healthy smoothie (water, 1/2 apple, inc. seeds, cup of kale, cup of frozen strawberries, and a tbs of flaxseed). This isn't my favorite, but I wanted to start my day off really healthily to try and turn my mood around. The shit didn't work. I laid down for another 30 mins or so, before I had to get up and go see the psych that gives me my meds. He likes to evaluate every month or so. I drove the 45 mins to the apt. to wait 45 mins for him (even though I was his first patient of the day). The really stellar news is that I've gone from clinically "very severe depression" to "normal" in just over a month. (I didn't realize the VERY was in the initial diagnosis). Anyway, great mood, but it did nothing to change my mood that day. Although, when he saw the results it sounded like he orgasmed right then and there. He was very, very happy. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know about this, as so many of us do suffer from clinical depression. I've tried a few different types of meds, but nothing has really worked. It really is a trial and error thing. If you're going through this now. Don't give up hope...there's a combo out there that can help. Keep searching until you find it. It will give you your life back.
So, given the ultra smart person that I am....I realize most of the way through the day, that it's fucking PMS! I can't believe I didn't realize it earlier. What a dumb fuck.
So, I really tried to get back on the horse today. I ate way too many carbs, but I did eat a lot of healthy things. For the day I'm having, I'm proud of my choices.
Although I must say, I was starving all day and did eat too much...
8:00 Green smoothie (see above)
9:00 Caffeine Free Diet Coke (drank about 1/2 can)
12:00 Small baked potato (w/ small amt of Earth Balance, sour cream and cheese...), big ass salad: spinach, spring mix, and honey mustard dressing, oh and a few black olives.
Cup of Green Tea
2:00 Thin whole wheat bagel w/ pb and a banana
Cup of Green Tea
3:30 Bowl of Rice Chex w/ soy milk and small amt of sugar
5:45 Whole wheat pasta w/ Marinara, black olives, and Morning Star Farms (ground "hamburger), broccoli, and another salad, same as above
7:30 1 Oatmeal Scottie cookie (I've decided if I've going to eat any sweets, it's going to be something I've made, no processed). I substituted the butter for Crisco (which is still shit, but half the fat), and used Stevia instead of sugar. Tastes exactly the same. I put the rest in the freezer, in case of emergency.
8:45 Nightime herbal tea
Oh wait, the one positive to my day, was listening to "What You Waiting For" by Gwen S. on my way to my apt. What a great workout song. Except in my case, I'd have to change "Million Dollar contract, and their all waiting for your hot track" to "Zero dollar contract and their all waiting for my hot ass." lol Oh, to live inside my head. If you know me, you know I love Gwen. In fact, Brian and I had the talk about the lists again the other day. They may as well be notarized. If Gwen sees me in the front row one day, and is so taken back by me, and decides to lock one on me. It'll be okay :)

You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place?
Born to blossom, bloom to perish

Life is short, you're capable (uh huh)
