Getting a slow start to the day as I started researching some work at home opportunities instead of doing the actual work that I have right now. Not the smartest move but I have already eaten breakfast so that is a good thing.

Action Goals:

• Make list of phone calls needed to make
• Do at least 20min of Tai chi

Have a healthy Tuesday!

I am a bit stressed today. Hopefully I will be able to keep the stress eating to a minimum. I weighed in today because I won’t be able to weigh in tomorrow morning due to my schedule.  I weighed in at 269.5. That is down 3lbs from last week.  Yay! The hormone water weight is leaving! 

Food for today:

• 2 apple cinnamon waffles with a bit of maple syrup and olive oil margarine
• Turkey sandwich with mayo
• 1 apple
• 1/2 serving of peanuts
• Chinese for dinner… probably egg foo young for me with very little rice if any
• 1/2 of a pomagrante if need snack for after dinner

Action Goals for today:

• spend at least 20 min reading a fun book
• do some Tai chi moves
• prepare paperwork to drop off on Monday
• clean off cable box and figure out where to exchange it tomorrow

Why is it that when things are already messed up they just get worse?  The garage door broke this morning when my husband came back because he forgot something that he needed to drop off at my mom’s house. Somehow a garabage can got hung up on the door and the safety didn’t work. Yay! So luckily I was able to get someone to come between 11 and 1 today but hoping it won’t be much money.

Anyways…

Food for today:

• Honeynut cheerios with almond milk
• Small banana
• 2 slices of pineapple
• 1/2 serving of peanuts
• Lunch TBD… probably left overs
• Salad
• Dinner TBD… Not sure if we are eating at home or going out. Depends on the garage door most likely

Action goals:

          Pick up the living room

• Pick up the foyer
• Rearrange garage so that stuff is out of the technicians way
• Make Grocery list
• FILE COUPONS!

Have a healthy weekend!

AF is kicking my butt right now. I didn’t do so hot yesterday both foodwise and lifewise yesterday. Today I should be doing some more but really, I am not. I am getting up and doing things as I am able now because pain pills finally kicked in a bit but the pressure…. oh geez, it has been a while since one has been this bad. I had back cramps over the summer and right now I would totally rather go back to that pain then this pressure that makes no position comfortable for long.

Okay, done whining.

Food for Thursday so far:

• Honeynut cheerios with almond milk
• Small banana
• 8 oz of orange juice
• 1 rootbeer

I don’t know what I am going to eat for lunch but I really should get something to eat.

Dinner is in the crockpot and is chuckroast with potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. I used a new recipe for seasoning the dish so hopefully it comes out ok. I think I will probably have a salad with dinner or before dinner at some point. Need to use it up. I also will have some pineapple at some point today because I cut a whole one yesterday and want to use it up before it goes bad.

Action Goals:

• Quit Whining
• Eat Lunch
• File Coupons
• Go to library
• Finish laundry that is downstairs
• Spend at least 20 min just reading a book with no distractions

Have a happy Thursday!  Dr Green is Back in the ER tonight. Should be interesting!

Yesterday was a bit of a messed up day. Things are a bit rough for me emotionally right now so I wanted to crunch. I ended up making popcorn for lunch instead of eating what I had planned.  Not the best choice but I didn’t go and get greasy food from somewhere so it is better than it might have been.

Today I have to work at home and then I have to babysit my niece tonight.  I should have said no but I feel bad because my sister needs to work and if she doesn’t have a sitter, she brings my niece with her now and that is just crazy.

Right Now I am not really in the mood to focus on this but know it needs to be done.

Food Plan:

• Honeynut cheerios with almond milk
• 1/2 serving of peanuts
• small banana
• Left over bbq chicken/pork/onions with 1 slice of bread
• Salad with light ranch
• Pineapple
• Yoplait yogurt
• Can of cheese tortellini soup with oyster crackers
• Carrots with guacamole
• 1/2 serving of peanuts

Action Goals:

• Get work done
• Do 1 load of laundry
• Plan dinner for Thursday
• File Coupons

Eh, got to find a way to get in a better mood.

Monday didn’t go completely to plan, but I am okay with it.  I need to do a bit better today. Hopefully no eating on the run today. I plan to take a banana with me to allow for hunger on the run.

I have pretty much been a slug for the last few days between my ankle and a migraine.  I did watch my carbs closely for most of friday but gave up when dinner was pizza and pop. 

I did weigh in today and was 272.5 so down a half pound.  AF still hasn’t shown up. She was due the 3rd but I had to take 7 days of Provera so I am guessing she will be here soon I hope.  If she doesn’t show up with provera this will definately be interesting.

Anyhow, on to the plan:

• Banana
• serving of peanuts
• FF cocoa made with almond milk
• 2 small pieces of corn beef leftover
• 1 cup of veggie puree–potatoes, carrots, celery, fennel, onions
• 1/2 cup of corn
• 1 hamburger with bun, with lettuce, mushrooms, onions
• 1 serving baked beans
• Salad with garlic vinegrette dressing
• 1/2 a pomagrante
• On the run, not planned, whopper jr without ketchup and onions, small dr pepper

Action Goals:

• Stretches for arms and legs
• File away coupons from Sunday
• Run to store
• Eat dinner at the table again
• Work on Work stuff

Have a healthy week!

I need to practice because my class has been cancelled and I can’t take the other session offered because of the time.
