I was only on nuvaring for a month, it gave me bv and I could always feel it. I also took it out every time I had sex with the understanding that you could leave it out for up to 3 hrs at a time.. only to learn that meant 3 hours for the whole 21 day cycle. I was so relieved to get off of it and to get my period.

I walk home 2 miles uphill a few times a week, plus walking around town. My boyfriend commented on my strong thighs, and I was proud! Yeah I have muscles, from using my body!

I had sex with my ex boyfriend about 5 times without a condom because I was on birth control. I had asked to get std tested but he didn't do it and after the first time I figured it didn't make a difference. We broke up, and I'm going soon (6 weeks after we last had sex) to get tested. I am SO scared that I'm going to be HIV+, even though I have no reason to think he was.

Received a painfully awesome Thai massage today.

Eat all the candy!!!

I am so sick of being cat-called by gross, nasty, old men in the summer. Any time I show a little more skin, they start crawling out of the woodwork. I was riding my bike the other day and stopped at a light to take a sip of water. Some creep who was older than my dad was staring at me and when I finished my water, he said "Thirsty, huh babe?" Seriously--this is NOT okay. And I'm not about to go around in a sweatshirt all summer to avoid it.

I just got a new digital scale, and I feel so annoyed that the weight is 2 lbs more than what my old scale showed. I think my body fat decreased based on my monitor, but I still feel disappointed.

one thing I am sick of seeing...men wearing those samurai style ponytails on top of their heads. UGHHH!

This is what I am trying to instill into myself (and it's kind of cheesy, so bear with me): That I am important enough that I have to make it a priority to take care of myself. As in, I need to treat myself well by eating better food and getting more exercise. Right now, I "reward" myself for getting through a stressful day by sitting on my butt and eating junk food. I have to get it through my head that that is not a real reward. It's SO hard to break this (lifelong) habit, though!

I'm the 28 year old who confessed about getting botox for the first time. I am SO happy with the results. I don't constantly have wrinkles in between my eyebrows and I'm hoping it'll teach my face not to furrow my brow ( especially when I sleep). I see myself continuing with the botox every six months for the foreseeable future because I'm pretty ecstatic it worked the way I wanted. PS - no one knows I did it.
