--Temperatures are finally warming up, and today was the Annual Trying on of Shorts After Winter. I dread this every.single.year. And especially this year, because although I haven't been gaining weight rapidly, I know I've put some on since I last wore shorts in September/October. I was only brave enough to test one pair, and was so relieved when they fit that I figured I would stop while I was ahead.
--Match has a nice dinner + beachwalk date planned for us. Very romantic, so I didn't have the heart to tell him I think the beach is kind of gwoss. I'm pretty outdoorsy and not squeamish at ALL, don't get me wrong. I love combing for shore critters. But I don't like feeling gritty. But anything with him is usually fun, so it'll be ok.
--The reason this bears any relevance for this blog is: that my first thought when he suggested this plan was "Ew, sand." Contrast that to last fall, when we had a similar night planned, and my first thought was "Great, some exercise after dinner." Times they are a-changing, slowly but steadily.
--In case anyone is interested in the birth control situation (not that I really think anyone is interested in my lady parts, but I am continuing updates on this in case there is anyone else out there like me that has anxiety about going on pills and is looking for anecdotes), I've been on the birth control for almost a week now, and if anything my weight is down a bit. Only noticeable side effect is nausea, and sometimes light-headedness in the evenings right after I take it.
My internet went out literally while I was in the process of writing this, and I'm supposed to leave in 10 minutes, so maybe the post won't go up tonight after all, damn.
(8 minutes later) Ok I am back online just in time to walk out the door, adios mis amores.

Glad you haven't had any problems with the pill!
Also, I'm with you on the beach. I hate being grainy. I hate sand. I like that you noticed the subtle change in thinking, from "ooh, exercise!" to "ew, sand." I love those little moments of progress.
yes, please keep the pill updates coming. my periods have been so, so bad -- i'm getting desperate to try anything. i have tons of anxiety around hormones, me and my body.
i'm glad you've gotten to "ew, sand". that really is growth. the beach is my favorite place in the world, but if my fiance suggested hiking or camping there would have been a lot of "ew, NOOOOOOOOOO"
I love walking on the beach, but I think picnics on the beach are horrible. The risk of getting sand in my food makes me unwilling to eate.
I hope the date goes well!
Hope you have a nice date despite the sand. :)
As for the pill situation, I went on the pill several years ago because my periods were horrendous (this was before I lost my period and had other issues due to ED)... I was on the pill for 7 years (am off now because am married and trying to get pregnant) and did not gain ANY weight from it. They have to list EVERY side effect anyone has EVER had and from what I have researched/been told by my obgyn, weight gain is really, really uncommon. After years and years on the pill, I never had a problem with that. :) Just wanted to make ya feel better!
i dont think i have looked at your blog yet but i love it!
