Jenaya, I NEED YOU....

The day has finally come that I have acknowledged that my body isn't what it used to be. I am, without a doubt, most certainly, gaining weight in unattractive places. I am very unhappy about this. I've decided that it's time for me to get serious about my eating habits (which, to be fair, really aren't that terrible) and my fitness.. but I just don't know how to go about it. So Jenaya.... I'm going to be in touch girl. You have a fab body and I know you got it through healthy living and I want to know more! I miss the perfect body I used to have, but the fact of the matter is that my age is finally catching up to me and I just can't get away with not working out any more.

I'm taking a nutrition class right now, and there is nothing like a nutrition class to make you feel bad. Ironically its making it harder to eat right, but I feel worse about it when I do eat crap. ARGH! hate my freaking self right now since I decided to devour massive amounts of chocolate (which irritates my IC) and then feel bad and eat a bunch of apples instead (which irritates my IC) to balance out the bing with a large glass of guilt. OH yeah, this is my life! AND I have clinicals starting Friday. I'm really, really worried that I'm not going to make it! I was so proud of myself and the fact that I could pull these murderous 8 hour shifts as a CNA at the hospital on the floor, but after the surgery I just feel like a drained out exhausted mess. Stupid Endo trying to ruin my plans!

I like to go and hit the speed bag in the martial arts gym for cardio but today I forgot my hand wraps. Hand wraps keep your fists tight to avoid injury to the knuckles.
I was so stressed out from school and life that I didn't care if I had the wraps or not and still went and hit the bag anyways. My adrenaline was going, I didn't even feel the pain. Next thing I know, I look down at my hands and my right hand is all bloody and my left hand has this huge goose egg swelling over the 5th metacarpal (typical boxer's fracture).

I should have known better!

I'm going to wait it out and see what it looks like tomorrow. If it doesn't look or feel better I may go get it checked out. I just don't have time for this crap! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I'm so stupid!

Seriously, ice the crap out of it and get an x-ray if it still looks bad. Digits 4 and 5 are for power grip, don't underestimate the importance of your pinky!

Yeah I have been doing my little R.I.C.E routine. The swelling is down a lot but now half my hand is purple. I'm going to roll over to the student health center this morning and see if they can xray it.
Surprisingly, as horrible as it looks, it doesn't even hurt. I would think if it were broken it would hurt a hell of a lot more than this.

Maybe it's cause I'm so used to chronic pain that the pain from my hand barely registers anything in my brain? LOL!

	Endometriosis: The Complete Reference for Taking Charge of Your Health by Mary Lou Ballweg & The Endometriosis Association is my go-to book for information & treatment options. ******************************** Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Wexler is my go-to book for understanding the menstrual cycle, hormones, and fertility indicators.

	You wouldn't put sub-standard fuel in your car, would you? Patrick Holford's New Optimum Nutrition Bible is a fantastic source of information on how to heal your body from the inside out.
