Warm Transitions

Just an update on the goings on in my life:

Summer managed to sneak up on me and RAPE ME IN THE BUTT with about twenty pounds of added fat and super oily skin.

I don’t know why I continue to steadily gain weight when I’m far more active than usual. I don’t think it’s my eating habits, either, but then I haven’t been strict enough. It’s startling how rapidly I’m gaining the weight, too. You’d think I was eating 3 cheeseburgers everyday.

If only I was eating three cheeseburgers a day; then, I’d be fat and happy, dangit.

I made an appointment to get some blood work done just to make sure there were no outlying reasons, other than eating habits and activity, that could be affecting the weight gain. I don’t want to be busting my ass working out and dieting like crazy when my damn thyroids are the reason I’m swelling up into a whale.

On a more spirited note, the overall texture and tone of my skin has vastly improved. It’s a lot smoother and refreshed. In spite of the increased oiliness, I haven’t had a break-out in week, finally giving my skin some time to heal without another new blemish to mar the efforts.

I really think it’s the blueberry smoothies I’ve been drinking everyday, which consists of berries with a dash of sugar, some ice and water. I can’t write the exact measurement b/c I eye everything.

In the meantime, I’m still taking the Vitamin D (5000-10,000 iu/day) and fish oil (2400 mg/day). After I cleanse, the only products I apply to my face are aloe vera gel and moisturizer. I still haven’t had the guts to use anything else since that one period of severe dryness I had suffered. Nor do I see reason to add new products to my regimen, seeing as how my skin is doing just fine without them. I may have to look into something for oil control, though.

As for school, I still have yet to find out the grade to one of three classes, but I know for a fact that I aced the other two. There is a VERY STRONG chance that I’ll graduate this fall. I have no idea what I’ll do after that, but at the least I’ll have school out of the way, and graduating college has been of such burden to me for the past 9 years…

Summer term starts on Monday. I registered for three so far. I am planning on registering for a fourth if the professor allows it. Since one of those classes starts right after another ends, I’m hoping that this makes the 16-credit load easier to handle. If all goes well, that would leave me with 8 credits in the fall and, voila!… graduation.

I’m also taking swimming lessons with the boyfriend, who knows how to swim but has registered just to keep me company. Have I told you guys how much this man loves me? Yea, let me rub that in real good for you. He loves me so much and I love him so much. To a third person, it’s probably disgusting how much we love each other. Like slug sex (I dare you to youtube that).

So, it’s time for alienman to shop for a one-piece-figure-flattering-corseted-all-covering swimsuit! Any suggestions on where to shop?
