The PMS Dwarfs

Weight 258 pounds Body Fat 44.3% Pounds lost 1 Body fat loss 0.3%

OMG! I cannot believe I lost a pound! This does not make one ounce of sense! I have no business losing a pound this week!

This week I have been hauling around my little demons...the PMS dwarfs. If you are man or woman you know who they are! BITCHY, BLOATY, CRAMPY, WHINY, CRAVEY, SLEEPY, and KILLER!!! Typically the dwarfs weigh an extra couple of pounds...BLOATY alone is 2 pounds of water! Then, CRAVEY made me eat a barrel of M & M's, and any other chocolate substance I could get my hands on! CRAVEY was totally out of control and this just made SLEEPY and WHINY behave much worse than usual. WHINY didn't want to go to the gym at all, so he and SLEEPY conspired and put me to bed for an involuntary nap a couple times. I have no choice but to tip-toe around KILLER! KILLER is totally unpredictable and he can be harmful to any one's health if they say the wrong thing...or even blink in the wrong direction. So needles to say...when we all stepped onto the scales I was prepared for the worse! I looked at the dietitian in disbelief! I admitted my infidelities to her... I even told her about the barrel of M&M's, the double thick and gooey Caramilk bar, the coke and chips, fudge and crumbs from the couch! I am not kidding...I was a walking, talking, napping bottomless pit!

Do you know what saved me? The exercise! I am very pleased with this 'new' behavior I have adopted. Everyday I plan my schedule around exercise. I swim, spin, aqua-run, walk, row and anything else I can think of... I am always moving. Despite the 'turtle-esque' pace of the weight loss, I have noticed that my clothes fit better and I do have more energy... once the dwarfs get lost! I would kill for an ooey gooey chocolate bucket of TURTLES right now!!! I better get back to the gym!

  2. God love you Andy!

    Thank you so much for your words of 'genuine' encouragement. I am not pyschic, but I do know that you must be very young and single! There is no way on earth that you have EVER met the PMS dwarfs, otherwise you would know the extreme bad timing associated with advertising 'speed' on my blog during this dangerous and hormonal time! BITCHY and KILLER have their 'teeth bared' and they are just dying to lash out and bite you in the man sac! However, I will maintain control for my fan base...and simply ask that you never advertise speed on my blog again. I bare my soul and share my feelings openly in this blog to let others know that they are not alone in their struggles. I hope to inspire people and give them a few laughs. I forgive you, despite feeling violated. I also want to thank you for inspiring my next blog posting...'bullshit weight loss gimmicks'.

    With friends like this...who needs enemas?

    Thanks but NO THANKS!

  3. I no longer have the dwarves ( if that is now politically correct to say) following me around. I just have the Queen of Heat on my tail. I feel like I did when I was 10 and without hormones.
    After reading your comments about PMS, I thank God everyday that he needed my womanly innards. OMG when I was PMSing, the words justifiable homicide were often uttered by me so that all who dared to speak to me, never mind comment on what I was eating, were aware that this was a defense in a court of law.
    You go girl You are inspiration for an ol' broad like me
