So, over the last week or so, I've completely ramped up my protein intake, since I found some great RTD protein shakes at Costco. Just in shakes alone, I'm taking in 40g of protein, plus I usually eat at least one to two protein rich meals per day. So, I step on the scale this morning, and it hasn't moved. I know that I'm getting in all my fluids and vitamins (well, except calcium, still working on that). The only thing I can think of is that I'm eating too many carbs. I have to do a search on OH.com to see if I can find how to split the difference.
Eggface just posted a great blog today on how to make some French Onion Bites (her crustless quiches...) check it out here. She says they are a great item if you love french onion soup; which I do! Have to make a run to the store soon.
I still haven't conquered her blueberry muffins. I keep going to the store, getting all the ingredients - then not doing it. I actually haven't been cooking hardly at all lately. I think a lot of it has to do with my mood - it's not quite stable yet with the new medication. It's working out great so far - although the past couple of nights, I've had some baaad nightmares again. I'm not willing to chalk it up to the medication quite yet; although I haven't been exposed to anything scary recently (I'm sensitive to scary movies and stuff - instant nightmares). But I've only been on the new medication for a few weeks so I'm going to give myself some more time to adjust before I decide that it's not a good medication for me. If it's not, I'm really not looking forward to going through the medication revamp period again. It's not only tough on me, but I imagine it's tough on J as well - my mood swings can catch him off balance sometimes.
Now you know that I've got to blog about the biz! Things are moving along much more slowly. I decided to only start auctions once a week instead of every other day, for two reasons. First, it's cheaper that way! My eBay invoice for last month was over $200. Yeah, can't really afford that. I'm just not doing the sales yet to warrant that kind of expense. And second, I'm starting school again next month. While summer I'm only taking one class, and it's online; come Fall Semester I'm heading into school full time. The Fall Schedule is out, so I was able to pick out my classes and figure out my schedule - and I'm just not going to have time during the week to work on eBay, other than fooling around a little. So, I'll keep my store open and take care of any sales that happen that way as they come, and set my auctions to finish on Saturdays. That way, I have the time to commit to my studies (which is kind of scaring me right now...). I'm not nervous about my summer class; it's Medical Terminology. I went to Medical Assisting school (it was 14 weeks, M-F, 8-5) and I did really well with the class work, so I know that the Terminology will be easier for me. Not easy, just easier. In Fall, however - all my classes are on campus. I've got English 100, Math 20 (I suck at Math) Photo 103, and Poly Sci 100. I'll be in school Monday thru Thursday. We'll see how that goes!
Anyway, I should roll. I have to check the mail and make another iced tea. I hope you all are having a great week!
