PMS Update

You don't have to read this if it feels like TMI.

My sisters wanted to know about how this diet is affecting my PMS. I'm not one of those women who has to lock herself away for a week or use pharmaceuticals to get through PMS. My family reports that I get a little short-tempered and cry more often and make lots of chocolate goodies. I don't know what they are talking about. All I notice is that one week a month I am surrounded by idiots, have pimples, and I need chocolate and Ibuprofin.

I was actually surprised when my period started this week. My skin was clear, I felt good, I hadn't craved any junk food at all, on Wednesday afternoon I felt surrounded by idiots for a few hours, but they may actually have been idiots. I didn't really have any of the normal symptoms that signal that its that-time-of-the-month. No cramps. No cravings at all. Amazing.

What I ate yesterday:

• 6:30 AM  fruit salad (oranges, grapefruit, pear, grapes, kiwi), a few walnuts
• 11:30 steamed chard, zuchinni, mushrooms, onion and tomato; pita stuffed with spinach and homemade hummus
• 4:30 dried apple chips, almonds
• 6:30 Jason's Deli: Big green salad (dark greens) loaded with veggies and balsamic vinegar, whole grain crackers and hummus (it was salty! I miss salt the most).

I ran today. Pat me on the back.
