Birth Control can be Dangerous. Unlike Pilates, the Avengers, etc.

This week was pretty awesome.  I've been keeping up with doing yoga and pilates like every morning.  With no air conditioning!  I sweat up a storm.  Not attractive.  But I was hoping to tone up for Disney, didn't seem to happen - still a chub scout.

I was trying to figure out why when BAM I think it's my Depo Provera.  AKA the Shot, Depo is a birth control.  I take a shot every three months and never get a period!  Sound awesome right?  Except women have frequently reported gaining over 100 lbs, depression, hair loss, acne, and other crazy shit.  The weight gain is the one I really don't want.  I haven't been able to figure out why I'm not loosing as much as I should be (I don't eat much, I eat pretty healthy, I exercise, I walk EVERYWHERE - like at least an hour of walking a day).  I assume birth control must at least be a factor into why I am not loosing this weight.  So, I am not going to take it anymore - you might be thinking Nooo Kim you gunna get prego you dumb girl!  But I'm celibate.  So that's impossible.  As I've stated previously - I just don't really like that stuff.  I only take birth control on the off chance I might have sex.  But if I am damaging my body with unhealthy side effects of birth control - no way.  I'm not sacrificing my health for men.  I just wont have sex.  Well, I wont until I get Depo out of my system, I'm currently doing a lychee fruit detox.  Then I will talk to my doctor doctor about getting on a different form of birth control that will be right for me.  But I know it will take a while to get Depo out of my system.

Phsh, totally just made plans to drink tonight.  So much for detox.  BUT  I haven't drank in like two weeks?  I haven't been drunk since September.  So, I'm good.  :D

Let's recap the week:
Saturday I woke up and did my pilates for an hour, volunteered at the library, worked, chinese food!
Sunday I had an AMAZING picnic that Buzz set up and everything.  He made me lots of good food.

 I love him so much.  And I wore my new wrap dress - it makes me look fat but it's still cute.

He even got us hard cider to drink in the park!  I felt like such a rebel drinking in public in broad daylight.  We went home and napped and then when we woke up I talked Buzz into doing yoga with me.  We did easy yoga so with unflexible body could join in.  It was super cute and after we got all sweaty we took a bath and then went out in town again.  We tried jerk chicken for the first time.  nomnomnom it's so tasty!  We walked to the water front to watch the sunset while we ate chicken.  lol romantic right?  Then we got creemees on the way home!  *so stuffed*
Monday I came home from my awake overnight and slept, hour of pilates, and started packing to move into my new apartment.
Tuesday I woke up, pilates, went to my work to paint walls for one of the shelter rooms,

went to a staff meeting, went home to nap for a second then got dinner with one of my girlfriends before I worked an overnight.


Wednesday I slept in after my overnight and Buzz took me to Henry's!  A fifties style dinner that makes great eggs Benedict.  Then we looked in some shops and of course I did some shopping.  Then we went home to drop off our stuff we bought (or I bought lol) and saw the Avengers!  It was a fun movie but did you notice the camera never stopped movie?  I haven't seen an action blockbuster in a long time so my eyes were not prepared for it.  I think films, like technology, are beginning to cater to our ADD society.  After the movie we went to then fancy restaurant during it's special hours to get delicious meals for $15!  I got a wine soda too.  It was called Rose and was pink.  Super cute.

Thursday was another day off with Buzz at work so it was a Me Day.  I slept in until eleven!  Then pilates, then bathe, ate lunch with Buzzy,then got my toe nails done!!! The lady did such a great job. I'm going there Sunday to get my nails done and my eyebrows waxed. After that I went tanning.  Then went home- tanning when it's hot out is not a good idea (I mean in a tanning bed).  Then me and Buzz stayed inside until more Chinese food (we're addicted I swear) and I bought some probiotic drinks from the Co-Op.



Recaps are really hard, jeez I have a bad memory.  But I don't journal anymore really.  So I feel it's important to remember.
