Girly Bits ...men might want to avert thier eyes

I have mud in my uterus. Or so it would seem. Yesterday I had to work a double at Pirates and after we began the first show I called Liane to see if she could last minute cover my second show. I have NEVER done that. I walked on stage and felt dizzy and weak. Not like I was gonna die, but I couldn't imagine finishing the first show. I did and then I went home. What is wrong with me? My guess is I'm missing something in my blood...iron perhaps? I have been bruising a lot and lately I have just been feeling tired and dizzy no matter how long I sleep. And I haven't gotten a period for two months. Well, this is the week I would get it and I have been having bad cramps and no blood. Just mud, constantly and not the normal brownish blood (sorry guys who thought they could read this anyway). So my guess is low iron = menstrual difficulty, fatigue and bruising??

Back to the vegan-vegetarian-highprotein problem. I stayed more vegan because I had read that it helps beat cancer, that our bodies can't rid themselves of the toxins from animal products including dairy. But I NEED a lot protein for what I do. So I have been trying to get it from beans, almonds and soy products but my carbohydrate count is just astronomical and my protein is still possibly lacking. I eat salads, beans, veggie burgers, soymilk, almonds and cereal, pita and hummus now. I feel fat and bloated and I wonder if a lean protein + veggie diet will help me lean out and have energy (eggs, fish, salad, steamed veggies). So to meat or not to meat? Which is better? I think I may start just adding eggs back into my diet for now and actually taking a multi. But most vitamins have gelatin in them and that is REALLY bad for your body. aaaaahhhh!

Shane told all the girls at work that we weren't compatable because I was too nice and proceeded to hit on Kirby, ask out Liz and wound up in bed with Amanda...all on Friday night. Whew, escaped another asshole apparently. He then text messaged me asking me if I was angry at him...what? So I just said no. Done and done, no drama for this girl.

Steven just got back from a trip and called, we are having lunch tomorrow before my rehearsal. No pressure. I like him. But you know, I like birds too but I don't have any as pets so....we'll see. I think it will take a long time of being single and observing for me to get excited about any man. I am excited these days about the gym, Christmas, my job, the girls and catching the next season of Greys Anatomy on DVD :)

my 1st inclination is to meat. but really what you need to do is have a discussion with a doctor. A real doctor. Not a nurse, not a physician's assistant, not a nurse practitioner. With your other recent health issues, you don't wanna be messing around with your body. call a doctor. tell them what's going on & discuss nutrition with them.

so glad i'll see you on friday! can't wait!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the part where you said, "I like birds too, and I don't have any as pets."

I think that is the best way to approach men at this point in our lives. :)

Also, Cate is probably right... and I'm wondering... we have friends that know a nutritionist, I think you've met her Becca Albert... I wonder if she'd consider doing some pro bono work to help you out...

Try Vitamin Shoppe, they have a Vegan Multi vitamin that is good. The brand is called VegLife. 100% Vegan. They have a formula with iron and without. You can even order it online and have it delivered. Also try the Now brand iron Complex. It is non-binding and vegan too. Good luck, hang in there.
