Low Progesterone Symptoms

I chanced upon these symptoms regarding low progesterone symptoms just a while ago: insomnia, dizziness, irritability, extreme changes in mood, bloating, weight gain, joint pain, muscle pain, and depression.

Among these symptoms, I got several: insomnia (which is why I need these afternoon naps), dizziness, irritability, bloating and weight gain. Just the other day I told the hubby I think I need to have iron supplements because I’ve been experiencing dizzy spells and I don’t want to find myself blacked out somewhere out there. Yikes.

These are apparent when one is pregnant or having menopause. I’m not pregnant so does it mean…? Noooo!!!!

Afternoon Naps

It is supposed to be a non-toxic and relaxed summer vacation for me but no, I feel more tired with the children around. Matter of fact, I need afternoon naps now more than I need these during school days. Maybe its the heat or maybe its something else. I hope not.

And I have gained weight yet again because I can’t wake up early to exercise or hulahoop or dance.

Been doing some writing work for an online site on health but it seems I am the one in need of help when it comes to that area of wellbeing. Research had me land on pages like cirrhosis, Howard healthcare carts and measles. I’m learning new things of course but I think I need to walk the talk of espousing a good dose of fitness routine.

Oh, I just got up from an afternoon nap by the way and somehow I don’t feel refreshed. Sigh…

Current Fave: The Script

I love music and as much as I imagine myself singing better than the average karaoke singer, I tend to have limited choices when it comes to choosing a song I can sing. Maybe because I have a limited vocal range or maybe because I prefer male singers/bands than females. I got several male singers in my play list and these include Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, James Morrison, Matt Nathanson and Damien Rice among others.

My current pick is The Script, which incidentally is having a concert in the country. I wanna watch!

Right now, am listening to them on Grooveshark, with a pair of Altec Lansing stereo speakers plugged in the laptop and playing half-full blast.  Yey!

“I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing…”

Lonely Ride

We had an early start yesterday morning. The long early morning drive was a bit boring, save for some music playing. I would have wanted to sleep but I’m not comfortable sleeping when in transit, except when I am extremely tired.

Early Morning

We also listened to the early morning news chatter and truthfully, I’m glad we weren’t stuck in traffic like other commuters. We just switched to music when the topics discussed were not that relevant to us. Some of the topics we listened to that were discussed were the return of a senator after months (or was it more than  a year) of not appearing because he has a case, Japan tsunami effects, hgh releasers and summer fun activities for the kids.

Going home was a lonely ride too, because the night was extra dark and the drizzles didn’t help perk up the mood. I was sleeping on and off on our way home and was glad when we arrived safely.

Was it worth the long hours on the road? Of course! I got to spend a few hours with my parents and children vacationing with them. Our youngest child was left behind though.

 

Bughaw o Pula

Sa larong ito ng dama o checkers, isang kulay lamang ang iyong pipiliin: Bughaw o Pula?

Kaninong kulay ang panalo na? Kaya pa kaya humabol nung kabilang kulay?

Checkers

Ganyan din sa buhay, may mga pagkakataong kailangang pumili hindi lang kung ano ang gusto kundi kung ano ang dapat at tama kahit na hindi ito ang gusto.

Manalo man o  matalo, dapat panindigan kung ano ang pinili. Kung kinakailangang lumipat o magpalit ng paniniwala at paninindigan, sa palagay ko ayos lang yun, basta kung sa iyong loob, alam mo na tama ka at wala kang “tinatapakang” iba.

I just installed the “LIKE” button for FB (and clicked on LIKE too), 😀 Still trying to find out how I can install this in most posts without copy-pasting the button codes for posts I personally recommend.
