I feel like bustin’ loose (right outta my pants)!

Why did I wear my “they just fit” jeans today???? I am suffering from either carb or PMS bloat – or both, and I feel like a sausage. I generally avoid carbs with my dinner so I can have a faux beer & square of dark chocolate after dinner. Last night I had a square of dark chocolate, 2 faux beers, and a serving of lowfat ice cream! Hopefully today is the last day of feeling like a sausage.

The funny thing is that other than that, my eating was very clean and on plan yesterday. I managed 1 hour 45 minutes of exercise – including a super intense HIIT session on the elliptical. It was definitely a step up in intensity from the treadmill. I figure 2 weeks of HIIT on the treadmill alternating with 2 weeks on the elliptical will keep my body guessing.

Changing my medicine helped a little, but I still had a bit of trouble sleeping last night. Sigh. Not sure what to do. They have to be 12 hours apart – I wake up at 5 and go to bed at 9, and any time between 6 and 9 pm doesn’t seem to work, but earlier would mean waking myself up to take a pill. Ugh.

Despite the sleep woes, I did get up and walk this morning. Hurray!
