Thumbs DOWN (but it's ok)

Ah well.  I stopped dieting in October.  I was tired of it and getting burned out.  I dieted from April 15th to about October 15th and lost 33 lbs.  That was great but that's also a really long time.  6 months!  Well, now I'm back up to 180. (I was down to 168ish).  I'm not actually disappointed or surprised. 

I switched my birth control from hormonal to um...not hormonal?  I have no idea.   My gynocologist got upset that I never told him that I had migraines.  Apparently, hormonal BC leads to migraines and for people who already get them, it leads to stroke.  Oops.  So he switched me to Camila.  Ah, research says that it's still hormonal, it's just not full of estrogen.  Apparently, estrogen causes the headaches/migraines.   Anyways, one of my nifty side effects is that I eat all the time.  Now, part of this is because I went off diet and have been naughty.  But part of it is the pill, I believe.  Also, I just read that it can make your period disappear and if you are having a regular period, it means that you are ovulating like normal.  Stupid pill.   I guess the doctor was right that I won't like it as much.  Stupid headaches.

Anyways, somewhere I started to digress.  Oh, that's one of the reason for the weight gain.  ANother is that after abouta month or two or maintenance, I completely abandoned any sort of "maintenance" pretense.  Shame on me.  Also, exercise.  It became hard to get out of bed in the morning.  I am going to try to get up and at least do some sit ups.  I don't think I can go back to my hour of exercise in the morning.  Not in the winter.   But if I can get my carcass out of bed at 7=6:25, then I can do some sit ups or something.  Without exercise I have way too much time in the morning and I end up going to the bus stop around 7:25 which is dumb.

Anyways...I decided to get back on track today.  Friday seems like a dumb day to go back on track, but whatever.  I have to start sometime.

THIS IS NOT A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!!  I had every intention or restarting after my birthday (the 8th).  I will probably just monitor my eating for the next few days, but the 12th will be time to get serious.  I have one, maybe two weddings to go to and I want to look GOOD. 

Look out world!  Susie is BACK ON TRACK!  No sweat!
