I'm a young, vivacious woman with terrible health. I'd like to blame genetics and situations beyond my control for this, but I know it is partly my fault. I decided I was sick of feeling like "twenty five is the new fifty two," so I changed my diet and lifestyle to help fix my declining health. No one my age should have a blood pressure of 190/110. This is where I write about it.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Thank you.
Sometimes I just need an outlet for my inane thoughts.

Proof that My Craziness is Justifiable
Topamax Side Effects:
Taste change
Some people on TOPAMAX may have taste changes where food or drink tastes differently. This has been reported with carbonated beverages, for example.
- No kidding. I can’t even stand the taste/feeling of soda in my mouth anymore. Its like metal mixed with hot bubbles. Barf.
Difficulty with concentration/attention and difficulty with memory
TOPAMAX may make it hard to concentrate. Some people may have memory recall issues. This reaction varies, but people have described it as “difficulty finding the right word” or “losing my train of thought.”
- Way to really sugar-coat it, Topamax! More like, “I can’t remember a gosh damn thing ever.” Try having ADHD, then dealing with this on top of it. I would describe it as feeling like an 83 year old; sometimes I can’t even recall what I did at work the day before.
Called.
My Doctor’s office just called to tell me that my cholesterol looks GREAT!
Hooray! Time to go out an celebrate by eating an entire block of cheese…
…or not.
The Official Guide to Vegan Halloween Candy
I’ve been eating Now and Later Soft for 3 days and it turns out they have egg whites in them, but the normal Now and Laters don’t. Man, it’s irritating finding out things you love aren’t vegan, things that seem like they obviously would be. Then there are things that surprise you, like Oreos being vegan! Crazy!
I will never again eat a Rice Krispie Treat ad Noodles and Company
However, I will stick to my Med Salad. 310 calories for the large is not bad at all.
I also really like to get the Whole Grain Tuscan Linguine, minus the cream and the cheese. Yum.
Just for Today
I am really getting enjoyment out of looking at pictures of people with trail mix.
Random, I know. But its great.
YOU GUYS. INDULGENT TRAIL MIX FROM WALMART. SO GOOD.
If this is the mix with the cinnamon apples in it, I concur.
I have class in a few hours but I have so much work to do.
However, I refuse to do it. I’m so hungry. This is what I live off of. I think I really could live off of this because therre are peanuts (protein), raisins (fruit), and M&Ms (what you really need to live).
I had to re-post this because of the last bit of information contained in the parenthesis.
Couldn’t agree more.
All The Days Before Tomorrow: Oh la la or Oh no no?
Today, I discovered that there are some really inconsiderate people roaming this earth. I was out shopping at Express on my lunch hour today, and was in search of a new pair of pants that just made me feel good. Well, I thought for surely I had found the pair. You know ladies what I’m talking…
Wake up in the Morning Feeling Like P.Diddy
Well, I’m not entirely sure how P. Diddy feels, but the guy has enough money to hire somebody to give him a piggy back ride everywhere, so I am assuming he feels pretty stellar.
I feel pretty good today. I decided instead of taking my usual nap after work that I was going to stay awake and take a run. Well, my run turned into a three hour run/walk all over the city. It felt really, really good!
I just sent a friend of mine the following text:
“I decided I’m done being depressed. Let’s hang out.”
Yay me.
No granola bar bingers today.
6:45am
1- 25MG Topiramate tablet
1- Lisinopril Tablet
Hot green Tea w/Lemon
0 Calories
7:15am
1- 30MG Adderall XR Capsule
I decided that I am going to take my Topiramate and Adderall separately to see if that helps. Basically, I feel as if they counteract each other because the Topiramate makes me disoriented and forgetful, and the Adderall is supposed to help me concentrate. My doctor said one shouldn’t effect the other, but I feel as if they do.
But hey, what do I know? I dropped out of art school…
