Navigating the Maze
Just finished giving myself the daily injection and can’t figure out how they expect the stomach shot not to hit a stretch mark. I mean when the nurse told me don’t inject in damage tissue and stretch marks fall in that category, I was like yeah right. What woman who has had children does not have stretch marks on her stomach. I know I can’t be the only one. Anyway, as I worked through the maze on my stomach to find a spot I stopped to think this is really crazy. I’m less than two weeks in and I’m already running out of real estate. Anyway, besides that I am doing okay. A few lumps and tender spots here and there but for the most part I’m good.
I tried a new vegetarian recipe today. Ended up sending the rest to my parents because I know nobody else in the house will eat it. I must admit the Eggplant Spinach Terrine wasn’t that great but I was trying to put in some work with my cookbook. I guess it is back to the drawing board. Hope my folks will survive their taste test, my father is a vegetarian so it’s not such a big stretch for him lol. The things we do for our health. Just taking it one day at a time.

That\'s awesome for trying!! I\'m in the same veggie boat with ya, and HATE them, but by God, I\'m going to eat them. Ugh. As far as the stretch marks go, that is soooooooooo FUNNY because I have the same problem. Give me a break..... if you have kids, that\'s what comes along with them...
Take care, and good luck navigating through the \"maze\"!! :)
Thanks Amy. I looked up the book you wrote about in your journal. I thought I was going to be able to check it out of the library but it isn\'t in any of them where I live. I guess I will have to check out amazon or something. Good luck to you too. I bought a few veggie cook books during Borders Bookstore\'s going out of business sale. I\'ll just have to pick another dish to try.
I refer to my stretch marks as the road map of life. Good for you for trying to navigate the road map of life to make your life better. I\'m sure there is a cul de sac or two if you look closely! ;)
