Month two update and renewed motivation

First of all, I'm a bad blogger. I've put off the month two update long enough that I don't really remember the details. And it was just last week. In sum, though:

- The period was longer -- roughly 5 days, with a day of (barely) spotting at the beginning. Not bad, but not the 4-day miracle of last month.
- The pain was the same as ever...yucky.
- The flow was "How am I not anemic?" heavy. I was so drained by Saturday that I asked my boyfriend to bring me a Mountain Dew. I detest soda. But I needed a sugar kick to keep me from passing out. (It was as nasty as ever, by the way. Next month, I'm trying juice.) And the clots came back...not as bad as before the Mircette, by any stretch of the imagination, but they still came to the party.

However, several events occurred today to reinspire my resolutions to eat better and exercise.

- I heard one of my favorite "manic mode" songs ("How Far We've Come, by Matchbox Twenty), which made me remember that I can influence my energy level based on the music I listen to. (Audio caffeine, so to speak.)
- I watched Supersize Me, and am now quite frankly horrified...but not surprised.
- I did some yoga, and struggled with it. The easy yoga, too.

So, motivation has returned. Now I just need to get to work.

Well, tomorrow. It's nearly time for bed now.
