It's October! I've opted out of news and carbs

COMMUTE 2 miles

And I got sushi for lunch! It's nice n 90-some odd degrees outside and after a rush this-this-this morning of setting up genotyping PCRs and tamoxifen and eye swabs this was a needed break. Although it sets me up for not getting done on time today. I'll take the sushi and stay late!

As usual cutting down trees, and a pen drawing of the binary neurons in his head got me laughing so hard I thought I could be sick. And now a few hours later my chest hurts, my neck hurts, my head hurts. No wonder I can't sleep, with this shit going on in the background. I know Dr S said to try the nitroglycerin as a test - is it the heart or not - but I feel like taking the meds is a step towards conceding the fight to heart disease and drug dependency. What?

I thought for sure my legs would be burned and DOMS today, but only a little bit. The hip injury doesn't hurt much either, so I'm encouraged by all this. But still, I don't think that's the gym for me. Expensive. Three times a week only. I already pay for YMCA. And after he told me yesterday "that's the best numbers I've seen for a female squat" it kinda took the fuel out of the tank. No surprise, I want some competition! And I'm not going to find it here.

Which means I have to find a way to "break up" and give his key fob back.

Day 2 of Opt Out and no M. All good.

And I'm going back to low carb -- looking at recipes and thinking back to what I used to eat. I've already ditched rice and potatoes (sushi excluded, I left most of the rice behind but ate some) in the past few weeks so now the biggest questions are along the lines of what to do about dairy. Good or bad for me? And I've developed a crazy soda craving habit for ginger ale. I can drink 2L/day!

And my chest still hurts. Ugh.
