PROCRASTINATING

Should have gone to the gym this morning.
BUT (I have all kinds of excuses) I still have my cold in the form of a horrible death cough. Really phelgmy and nasty sounding. And I got my stupid period last night.

Normally I take my incredible miracle prescription to fight off the cramps and I keep going - however I still usually feel pretty horrible and the prescription makes me 'out of it' in a big way. I don't like taking it. Without it though I am to much pain for anything. But since I have been off caffeine for almost a month I decided to see what kind of an effect it would have. (I have heard it could help) So far no cramps. It is too good to be true. And I am paranoid that it is too good to be true so I am scared to leave the house or even take my pjs off. (Steph suggested bringing the pill with me but I need to take it with a full meal or I puke my guts out so that doesn't really work all the time) So I will sit it out a few more hours and see what happens. I like the idea of it working however I really miss all the caffeine and chocolate. I miss coca cola, green tea lattes and chocolate bars.........

Anyways. I have all kinds of little projects I should be doing... I'm just not really doing anything.... I did have work the last 3 days but it is over now... Back to EI. To bad it isn't sunny out.

What does everyone think of the name 'Angela' for a boy? I think it is Fabulous! heh heh

Cleanse day 10
Not going very well anymore. Had a major setback yesterday.
I get horrible horrible cramps from my period every month. I go to doctor's and not much happens besides prescriptions. I'm constantly being told by friends if I cut down on caffiene and sugar it will not be as bad.
I thought this cleanse might have an effect even if it is a small one - I haven't had sugar in 10 days, I have only had one caffienated drink during this thing.
I got my period yesterday. Usually my cramps last about 3 hours and then they are gone. Now to be honest I didn't take my painkillers right away yesterday - I was curious as to whether the cramps would be as severe so i went without for awhile.
BIG MISTAKE.
Not only were they just as bad as they always are - they lasted ALL DAY - even with the painkillers. I was curled up in a ball on the couch all day. Minou and Birdie were my little heating pads taking turns on my tummy.
Dictator came home from work and saw how miserable I was. He looked in the fridge for supper and there was nothing cleanse appropriate so off he went to the grocery store.
He came back with CRACKERS, GRAPES, SMOKED GOUDA CHEESE, POTATO CHIPS and CUPCAKES. And he said 'my sweetie isn't feeling good she can eat whatever she wants to eat, screw the cleanse.'
I didn't eat everything but I did eat the crackers, grapes and cheese. Some of my favourite things. And I didn't take the horrible horse pills. That isn't allowed on the cleanse.
Oops.
That cheese tasted DIVINE.
I will try and behave myself today but really this cleanse thing hasn't impressed me much. No weight loss, no bounds of energy, digestive issues aren't better, and the cramps are still awful.
Sigh.
I am still a pharmacists daughter at heart.
