Finally, Some Information

I had an interesting day today.  It started off with me feeling very sorry for myself in this heat.  I am so incapacitated by it that I can't even clean up around the house.  Yet, with the kids away at camp, I should be getting a lot done!  I'm not!  It is frustrating, and somewhat disappointing.  I was able to get quite a bit accomplished tonight after the temperature dropped, and that helped with my sense of productivity.

I had a meeting today with a friend of ours, Martha, who sells Shaklee.  I had asked her about something to help me with my sleeping issues, and she suggested we get together.  Wow.  So much information.  She agreed that I am probably perimenopausal, and figured that, based on my symptoms, my progesterone is low.  She's given me the name of a cream, which I have discovered is available on VitaCost, so I think I will place an order.  I'd been planning to put in an order anyway, so now I really will get to it.

Martha also asked if I am taking a multi-vitamin, which I am not.  Well, I am now....  She taught me the difference between synthetic, natural source and whole food vitamins.  I had no idea there were different kinds.  I felt quite encouraged after our time together, and have lots to think about.

My eating was great today.  One shake, an egg, a BBQ chicken wrap from Tim Horton's (190 calories) and an Asian Sesame Chicken Salad at Kelsey's.  I also caved and ate one of Steve's potato skins (156 calories), for a grand total of 968 calories.  That's if the salad at Kelsey's was really the 360 calories it says on the website.  How can I feel so full after 360 calories?  I requested the dressing on the side and didn't use it.

This is getting easier.  However, I forgot to set the alarm for this morning.  I can't believe the children are away and we haven't even made it to the Y.  Hopefully we will go tomorrow.... :)
