T-minus 11 days and counting!

In 11 days, we make one of the biggest changes of the year. We are moving into a bigger apartment and gaining a roommate. I'm still really looking forward to it.

I'm excited about the kitchen. I'm going to start working on my cookbook again - PCOS friendly recipes that are also allergen free. I've got my entire support group coming up with dishes they want to see. My goal is to have it out and purchasable before Thanksgiving. We'll see if I can pull that off. I have taste testers and photographers set up, so I really just need to create the recipes!

I'm also happy that I will have a dedicated space for my laptop, so I can start working from home. This'll allow me to do more for my PCOS support group, work on side projects for extra cash, and blog more. But... I'm also going to have trouble getting around to working because I'll be living in a house with two guys that love playing video games. Ones that are really excited when I play as well. I'll make it work.

I had an appt with my psychiatrist last week. I told him that I was concerned that the fun I've been having lately was related to a manic episode. I haven't felt normal in such a long time that I don't know what the difference between normal and manic is anymore. I'm not having any of the classic manic issues, like hyperactivity, racing thoughts, etc. But I do feel that I've been impulsive. It's really hard to learn to "live in the moment" and be bipolar. I never know if it's the start of mania or just being spontaneous. This move idea has all gone down in the last month, so that's pretty impulsive. But doc says that as long as I don't get to the point where I'm so focused on a video game that I skip sleep or work, or I'm not impulse spending away my paycheck, or getting violent, I should be ok. And I can always call him if I think something is wrong. And I've got Hubs to help watch. The new roomie is learning about my crazy side lately, because I was out of meds for a few days and I started acting a little different. One of the things I really like about the roomie is that if Hubs is being a pain, the roomie backs me up without my need to ask. I'm hoping that the meds I'm on will work for a long while and I can really enjoy myself this year. Here's to hoping.

I've been eating pretty well, and so have the guys. I just have to watch and make sure that their scrawny asses don't lose any weight! So far they are ok. Roomie is glad that I'll have lots of room to bake, so I'll fatten them up with sweets :)

I've got so much more to talk about but not enough time to type. I'll definitely have a new apartment update as soon as we move!

Cortisol and Leptin...

Photo credit I feel so run down. I felt like this most of last week, and ended up taking 3 days off work due to it. This weekend was better - We went to Houston. We spent several hours enjoying the Downtown Aquarium on Saturday, and I enjoyed my PCOS symposium on Sunday. But as soon as I got in the car to head home, this feeling came back. It was so bad that I tossed my cookies less than an hour after we got on the road. This was definitely not from being car sick. I don't get car sick. I was tired all evening, had stupid issues with my homework, and finally went to be at 2-2:30. I realize that was late, and it could explain why I'm tired, but it doesn't explain the run-down, crappy feeling. I got plenty of sleep last week and still felt this way. I think it could be a cortisol issue. I have high cortisol levels. I know I haven't checked with a doctor, but from the information I received at the PCOS symposium, as well as years of research, it fits. I did some more re...

My First Giveaway!

My last post was about my decision to start a bakery. I'm very excited about it, and have been getting some fantastic reviews from my taste testers! My menu is small right now, but I am continually working on new recipes to expand it. I'm currently attempting to make a really good gluten free sandwich bread that doesn't have corn, potato, white rice, or soy in it. I hope to have it done by opening day, Nov 1. I know it's weird to open on a Tuesday, but I plan to be very busy celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary on Halloween by scaring little kids :) I figured one of the best ways to advertise the bakery was to have a blog giveaway. So that's exactly what I'm doing! One lucky reader will receive a $20 gift certificate to I Can't Believe It's Good For Me. The giveaway is open until midnight, Oct. 31. The winner will be chosen by random.org and announced on Nov 1. Here are the rules: 1 - You must complete the mandatory entry. 2 - Post each entr...

Spend a few moments Happifying your life!

Several months ago I was given the opportunity to beta test a new program called Happify . It's designed to help you become happier with your life, and has plenty of studies to back up their science. I've been using it, although not as faithfully as I should. But I really have enjoyed testing out a lot of the different tracks to choose from. This week,   Happify  ent out of beta testing and is now open to the public. There are a lot of free tracks you can choose from, as well as some others you can get by upgrading to a paid membership. I recommend   Happify  o everyone I know that needs a little pick me up from day to day. It has been helping me find my way towards satisfaction with myself and my life the way it is. It has also helped me to expand my horizons and learn how to be even happier. It's a great program. Currently I'm working on the paid track 'Get Motivated to Get Fit'. Right now it's exactly what I need - a way to focus on my health without ...
