i am so ready for menopause...

I was feeling good about myself two days ago.  I ate well that day and drank a lot of water.  Yesterday I skipped my weigh-in, was very active (5 hours of dirty, sweaty, hard yard-work)  and drank lots of water.  Today I weighed and have gained 1.5 lbs.   Blech!!!  

According to MyCycle calendar, I will be ovulating tomorrow.  According to sources on the InterWebs, ovulation is associated with bloating, cramping & temporary weight gain.  So, I gain weight when I'm ovulating and I gain weight when I'm menstruating.  As a woman, I'm almost always doing one of those two things...it sucks!  

Also, my butt is sore from the yard-work yesterday--a lot of walking up and down a very steep hill carrying stuff like 40lb bags of grass-seed, mulch, topsoil, hay, etc.  More of that to follow later today.

Cheers!
