Happy Feet.

HAPPY MONDAY! I know usually Mondays are rough, but Hey! its sunny here and tomorrow is my birthday & I get to see Hillsong United!

I know its been a while folks. I know you are all desperately waiting by your computer for another amazing post from your favorite blogger.....or not. You probably haven't even noticed I have been absent. Anyway I am back!!!

It's been officially a week off BC pills. Let's just say I feel like this:



and this:



and Josh can attest to a little bit of this:


My dear Chiro Dr. Ryan put it like this its like wearing your shoes on the wrong feet for 10 years, and then putting them on right. Its gunna hurt, but its the right way to wear them. And I know that in the long run its what is going to make my feet the happiest even if it hurts for the time.

So here's to Happy Feet and getting through the painful stage! I know it will get better. I am doing my best. Lots of water, fish oil, working out, no sugar or grains, and hopefully I can push through. Now that I know what I know I can't go back! And hey maybe I will stop tripping over my self so often now that my shoes are on the right feet! hehe
Have happy day!

Decision Made:

After reading things like This and hearing advice from many people (thanks everyone who added their input)
I am going off the pill.
I've decided its just what is best for my body. Josh is so ok with it and supports my decision to move towards being the most healthy person I can be. I couldn't do it with out his support. Or the support of these folks. And following this way of living.

Hang on its going to be a bumpy ride......

Take a Chill Pill

WARNING TO ALL MEN***Girly topic post****

So I have been on the pill for a long time. Too long in my opinion. I started it at a young age due to rough cycles. I also liked the benefits of it clearing my skin. I was on Diane 35 all through highschool and college and then when I got married I had to switch because they don't carry that one in the states. Well I tried Ortho Try Cyclin, that one made me gain weight and be depressed, and then went on YAZ that was ok but still had some side effects. I tried to get off it in 2008 but my skin broke out HORRIBLY and it was awful so I went back on out of pure desperate measures. Well here I am in 2010 and want to get off again for a few reasons:

1. I think that its not the best to be on it this long esp if I want to have kids in the next 2 years or so.

2. I am going natural in every other area of my life so I figure I should in this one too. I think God has created my body a certain way and I want to be as close to that way as possible. I have seen it do great improvements in my allergies and other areas to eat Paleo style. And have heard good things about it helping your skin when you eat Paleo.

3. I feel like it has effected me more than I know areas of my marriage, moodiness, sadness ect. and want to stop raging hormones as much as I can

So any advice? What were your experiences with the pill? And what do you do after you have kids or in between kids? Did it effect your skin? Your moods?
