Moo
Moo has several meanings for me today. One, the more obvious, describes my lack of sticking to “the plan” this week. I know, I know. I was so convinced that I was going to do great this week. In reality, not so great after all. Okay, I bombed. I don’t know what my deal is. While there has been some munching when I wasn’t necessarily hungry, the great majority of the time that I ate over my points, I was actually ravenous. We’re talking mind-numbing, stomach-eating-itself hunger. I don’t know what the deal is, but I’m blaming it on the Metformin I’ve been taking. I actually believe that that was when I started having problems and started going off plan. I feel like I’m hungry ALL of the time. I am going to try to do my best next week, but we’ll see what happens. I’m not overly hopeful for my weigh-in on Tuesday.
I had a fairly busy weekend. Yesterday I ran errands and my mom talked me into going to tour her high school with her. This weekend was her 40th! high school reunion. I’ve heard about her high school and some of her friends over the years, so it was rather interesting to actually see the school and meet some of her friends. It was interesting to see what they look like now in comparison to their senior year picture (which they wore as name badges). Some had barely changed, others were extremely different. Overall, it seemed like the men had changed the most.
Today, I slept in and then ran to Borders. I’ve gotten sucked into the new HBO show “True Blood,” and decided to pick up the first book in the series. It’s based on a book series by Charlaine Harris. Somehow, in all of my supernatural/romance readings I had somehow by-passed this series, but I plan to rectify my error immediately. The show is fantastic! The guy that plays the vampire isn’t all that cute or handsome - at least in my opinion - but steamy in the show, oh wow, yes.
This evening I went to my grandma’s for dinner. My aunt and uncle were in town and my cousin and her family came over, too. I have to admit it was kind of fun. My little seven-month old baby cousin is so adorable. He’s quite chubby, but such a cutie.
Dinner, on the other hand, was a little creepy, which is where the other definition of “moo” comes into play. We had hamburgers. I am most definitely a “well, well, well done” kind of girl. If I see pink, I get grossed out. Well, I swear my hamburger was about to start mooing at me. Ugh! I feel nauseous even now just thinking about it.
How was your weekend?

I’m having the same problem with wanting to eat. I wake up in the mornings feeling like I’m starving do death. I’m almost shaky because I feel so hungry. Maybe because it’s fall and our bodies want to get ready to hibernate?
I don’t know what it is, but it’s making me crazy. Feel like I’m hanging on by a thread.
However, your problem might be caused by the Metformin. I have a friend that takes it and she swears it makes her hungrier. She’s trying to lose weight and is really struggling. I know that’s not suppose to be one of the side effects, but since it does seem to mess with your digestion I think it could have something to do with the hunger.
Whatever it is, I sure hopes it passes soon for both of us.

You know, my mil takes Metformin and she had gained a significant amount of weight. I never realized that it could have been from the Metformin and the doctor never told us the wiser. Her doctor did start her on an injection called Byetta about a year ago. He said that it was going to help lower her diabetes and it also is an appetite suppressor. She gives herself a shot twice a day, right before she eats breakfast and dinner. She finds that it really helps her. In fact, in the last year, she has lost 55 pounds. Now you got me to thinking about this Metformin thing.
