Another Period, Another Chance for my Body to Renew Itself

My period started yesterday, but after two tampons my period appears to have slowed to a stop.

I had light pink to brown spotting 2 nights ago and then yesterday I had bright red so I used a tampon since I wanted to exercise but last night when I went to bed I just put on a light pad and slept for 11 hours last night with no blood yet this morning. I am surprised at how long I slept last night. I had a headache, so I took a tylenol pm I am sure that helped me sleep so much.


I had so many nightmares 2 nights ago, not the typical of my life nightmares. In these I was someone else in a different time and my grandmother had committed suicide because she was ill and could not move. So she somehow was killing off all the women in the family and eventually coming for me. Through forcing them to have the same feelings and inflict suicide on themselves. But when she came for me, I kept resisting it so the people in my life started trying to kill me off too.


Last week I attended a virtual Color Street Party and now I am obsessed, I will host my party this week and I am planning to sell them.


This is my first manicure.

The black is painted with regular liquid polish and the sparkly black to silver is the color street strips. I was surprised at how easy it was to apply these strips. I am terrible at polishing my nails as you can likely tell from the photo, but I had no issue at all applying the color street nails.


In other news, now I am back wanting to find a job.


I had taken a few weeks break in trying to look.


I also am planning to start the YouTube channel in a few weeks.


I am going to keep my sugar intake as low as possible to help with my health. My father was tested for diabetes and I occasionally have strange reactions to sugar and lack of sugar, so that is not a good sign.


The last two days I have been trying to keep my sugar intake low but also get rid of some high-sugar foods we have in the house. I split a pumpkin muffin with my husband that his mom had sent us home with to try.


We went sugar-free and low carb when I first moved here with my husband and I gained a lot of weight; I went to see a dietitian and she thought I was putting my body into shock and causing it to feel that I was starving myself and suggesting making sure I get those carbs. I know that is very important for trying to conceive too. Keto is not fertility friendly, veganism is also not particularly fertility friendly. I had been Paleo when I gained 10 pounds quickly. Now I am trying to stay close to a Mediterranean diet.


So we are just trying to eat healthier and with that cutting sugar should be the best thing I can do. I would like to lose 25 pounds for my health, and I am hoping this can get me a good start.


My burping has gotten more manageable, but I think it could have something to do with my being overweight.


I had lab work done last week and all of my labs came back great! So that is another thing to celebrate. Life is great, heartache and all. But I am keeping my positivity up. I will miss my twins every day for the rest of my life, I am sure. But hopefully soon we will get to have children on this earth. My white blood cell count was 11, when it should be under 10, but that is likely just fighting off everyday germs.


Last week my husband was off work, so we did a lot of home projects and shopping together.


I am still having high energy, but I am also getting beautiful sleep and feeling tired at the right time. Though I am sleeping in later than I would like I get up with good energy and keep that energy all day. Then get tired after 8 pm helping me welcome sleep around 10pm.


This morning I am drinking an energy drink because I have a headache, which I think is because I am on my period.


I made delicious poblano pepper and queso tacos last night.


I would bet today I am going to make them again and steak tacos. My husband and I bought corn tortillas last week, and now I want to make everything in them.


We also bought my favorite mild Hernandez green salsa which I love on tacos which just makes me want them even more. These are not following a Mediterranean diet, but I think it is healthier than some meals we eat.


Two days ago my oldest nephew proposed to his beautiful, sweet girlfriend. I am so happy for them and so happy to have her, and her family tied to ours forever.
