Week 28

YIKES! Can't believe I haven't posted in a week. I'm so very sorry, the last 7 days have been a blur. We closed on the house on the 20th, which feels like a month ago, and I've been packing like a madwoman. My last day here is on Tuesday and I spent all weekend boxing things up and carting them over. I'm pooped, and the real fun hasn't even begun yet *groans*

But I'll have a home again and my own space and room for Callie and maybe another kitty but who even knows. Callie is such a hissy little beyotch, I don't think that'll be a good idea.

No idea if I'll post before Tuesday and for @ least a few weeks I'll be on *gags* dial up, which is why I quickly posted the current video.

Let's see...what else? Though I've been slow to update the site, workout wise, I'm doing good. Had a great week last week and though I had to take today off, need time to pack. I'm mindful to not let that slide too far. Okay that's all for now. After Tuesday, my first priority is to get the computer going, oh and make sure Callie has food and litter of course, and I hope to be back online before the end of the week, though my next update her may not be till the weekend.

Till then I leave you all w/the latest video...

Week 28 Weigh In

192.8lbs down 3lbs from 3 weeks ago.

Dusting off yet another old and forgotten category. I'll update it every 3 weeks and make not of anything significant that occured. May as well go back to FitDay which netted me all the fancy schmancy charts and graphs. Next update, August 12th.

 

Moving Day

It's been a looooooooooong time coming, but for the 3rd time in less than a year, I move again.

Friday we close on the house, I officially move out on the 31st, but being that I'm fed the hell up, as soon as we get the keys, I'm moving my stuff over and will continue to do so for the next 10 days.

It's one of the reasons I've been distracted and not too focused, on keeping the site updated. As far as getting my workout done, they are and suprisingly, I'm not letting stress and minor bouts of depression derail my eating.

No-ultry

Speaking of scary, I am scared to eat poultry. The site and smell of it makes my throat constrict and my tummy knot up.

Great, I thought to myself, what the hell am I going to eat now? I'm a picky enough eater as it is…then a tiny voice said…search your archives….and a searchin' I a went.

Turns out a few months back, I made a teeny tiny prediction I'd be a vegetarian come summer.

I think by next summer, when I move, again, and I am able to cook, again, I'll be more vegetarian than not and a little raw.

Scary

It's really scary how your mind plays tricks on you. It feels like forever and a day since I worked out, yet it was only Thursday, a scant 5 days ago. I think this is why I hesitate taking a day off, I still do, but I don't like to. One day turns into 5 very quickly. Then my mind starts feeling like all my stamina is lost and I have to start from day one.

Today I did 30 mins of walking. I wont get back to my current routine till the weekend. Tomorrow I'll do 45 and the rest of the week get back to my normal time, but I'll just wing it since everything is out of synch.

Much much better

Hooray! I feel fine again. I went out about an hour ago to pick up my food for the week, drove and didn't feel woozy. Only thing is it's hot as hedes and the a/c isn't working so I'm sweltering in the room. I picked up a few bottles of ice tea and some ice.

Then I got my food from the home delivery place and grudgingly came in, the a/c in the car felt so good. I ended up eating after my earlier post, it was chicken sausage w/pasta. I ate all the pasta and a few bites of the sausage, spicy!

When I got in, I started to eat something else, the Sunday or Monday meal, but it was a roll w/chicken...*gags*...I really don't know if I'll be able to stomach poultry again.

Still haven't ate

I'm not hungry and scared to eat. I know I have to eat something, well lots of somethings and pretty regularly. I'm feeling a bit tired today, the headache finally stopped early this morning so I took today off, which is why I HAVE to eat for energy to head out tomorrow.

On a better note, water drinking is easier again, I'm proably still very dehyrdated, but compared to the 5 or so sips I had Friday, I had almost 25oz yesterday. I'm only drinking slow now b/c I'm running out and don't feel strong enough to drive, hence the need to eat...*sigh*...stupid catch 22

Just to sum up what I've had in the last few days since the poultry o' death:

Friday: 3/4's banana berry smoothie, 1/2 of which came back up later that day

Saturday: Bowl of green and red grapes (all of which rapidly exited the premies), chocolate milk (so soothing to the tummy), some pineapples, a spoonful of plain vanilla yogurt. An omellette w/2 slices of wheat bread, peach

Sunday: Turkey bacon, 1.5 roll, 1/2 egg burrito, arizona iced tea

Today: nothing so far, just water. I'm going to hunt in the fridge in a little bit.

Sick as a dog

I've been terribly sick since Friday. I think I got salmonella or e coli poisioning. Thursday night I had a turkey breast for dinner and b/c I was very hungry and it was hot and I was tired, I ate it 1/2 cold. The microwave wasn't heating it up properly, the sauce and rice got warm, so I just gave up trying.

Week 25

Topics covered:

  • Big ole' Callie
  • Brief update on falling off
  • Health scare
  • New motivations
 

Fibersure

Fibersure™ Clear-Mixing, Non-Thickening Powder I am a HUGE believer in fiber. I'm not sure why I got on the fiber bandwagon, but I ride it pretty hard blush

I guess it came from hearing how much waste we carry around. Or that going to the bathroom once a week is so not cool. Or realizing eating so much refined carbs had me feeling sluggish and stuffed. Whatever the case, I love fiber. Preferably in the raw form, fruits, veggies and my beloved Fiber One.

The Fiber GAWDS must have heard my prayer, b/c low and behold, I got an email asking if I'd like to try Fibersure and not meaning to be a total cornball, I said, "Sure!"

Happy ½ Year!

Yah, it's cheezy, I know. Whatever.

I wont completely write off the first ½ of 2007 nor will I bitch about disappointments and such. Instead, I'm going to use my energies to make the last ½ of the year as productive as it can be. Meaning, I'm going to make my 1000 mile goal.
