So I'm back to having digestive distress. Or something like that. My stomach is constantly bloated. I'm not talking a little pooch after eating ice cream or something, I mean I wake up looking 6 months pregnant before I've even eaten anything. It's like that all day long, gets worse as I do eat, and it hurts. I think my only option at this point is to cut down to just meat, veggies, and some fruits for a while and see if it helps, then slowly start adding food groups back in and see what's causing the bloating.
I'm also getting frustrated again that things don't seem to be getting any better for me. My hair loss has decreased some... it's slightly better but I feel like it's still more than normal. My skin cleared up for about 3 weeks and now I'm having acne issues again. I have slightly more energy -- I'm not crashing every afternoon -- but I still don't feel great and I think the energy is from the weight loss medication. Something has been causing major nausea for me whenever I work out and sometimes throughout the day. I haven't been able to get through a workout of any kind without getting sick during it. The glands in my neck feel swollen every day (usually in the evenings) like I'm going to get a cold but I never do. I haven't lost a single pound. I'm starting to wonder if I have something other than PCOS because it seems like with the medication I should have started to see some improvement in something by now. I also have never had any reproductive problems or irregular periods. I know she said not everyone experiences that, but a vast majority do. So I don't know what to think anymore. I freaking hate clinical diagnoses. Why can't the answer be simple?
Ok sorry. That was an unplanned tangent. I'm just so vexed by this whole situation.
Moving on....
We did our usual Monday things this morning. I'm still obsessed with the grocery pick up. And today they didn't have the salsa I ordered so they gave me two jars of the store brand for free! How rad is that??
After B's nap we went out to the airport to pick up my mom. I think Kennedy thought we were getting on a plane because she was really upset when we drove away. I promised her we would go back with Cory and watch airplanes take off and land sometime. And maybe some day we will actually get to get on a plane.
I'm determined to do a better job at teaching my children about the gospel, so after we picked up my mom we stopped at Seagull Book to get some stuff. I found a family home evening DVD of shows to watch, a book about Sunday being a special day, and this really cool book



My mom bought us all Costa Vida for dinner and I was excited to dive in to their nachos. It's been a while since we have had quality time together and I thought it would be a happy reunion.

Kennedy got a plastic tube full of little doggy figurines the other day. Reason #65 why Brynlie is more puppy than person; she chewed one up and Kennedy was not happy about it. She kept saying, "Those are brand new!"

I'm happy to report that today has been a much better day with the munchkins. I've been more patient and they've played together kindly without too many incidences.

I'm hoping to get up early tomorrow morning and get a run in before the girls get up so I can open the windows and doors and cool the basement off when I get abnormally hot 3 minutes into the run. Any bets on whether it'll happen or not?
Place your bets in the comments (no judgement from me... you've seen my track record) and the winner gets a free lunch from me! Haha
See you, soon!
