Return to the Bloggish

Just read some of my old posts and thought it was quite amusing. I had totally forgotten about this blog.

Well, let's start again.

Breakfast: Carnation Instant Breakfast

Snack: Bag of M&M's from vending machine

Lunch: Salad consisting of romaine lettuce, a very small scoop of cottage cheese, grape tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber? (can't remember), ranch dressing

Dessert: bag of Apple O's, bag of soft cookies

After Work: Cantaloupe (1/2 to 3/4)

Sitting in Kitchen While Husband Cooks: 2 fortune cookies

It's going to be hard, but...

It's going to be hard but I'm going to change for the better. Nevermind that I just ate 7 Oreo's, 2 european cookies, the equivalent of 2 eggs scrambled and a piece of "whole wheat" toast! I'm putting these things behind me right now. After I'm done writing this I'm going to head upstairs, put on my workout clothes and burn 500 calores.

Then I'm going to complete Lesson 5 of my finance homework and hopefully move on to the next lesson. Onward, ho!

The Beginning....

Trying something new today. Not having any kind of "dessert" after lunch at work. We'll see how that goes. Good thing I'm just not hungry right now.

Breakfast: 2 big scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough, 3 Oreo's, 1 20 oz. bottle strawberry melon drink, 1 bag of m&M's

Lunch: 1 roast beef and provolone sandwich on light rye bread.

I'm really going to try to increase my water intake. I'm going to try the half your body weight in ounces thing.

I fell off track with the training to be able to run 5K. It's been almost 3 weeks. I may have started the first day of week 6. I can't even remember. I'm going to have to get back to the gym and see how much damage has been done.

Back to the Bloat

I get a giant dessert bar almost every day at work to eat after lunch. They always make me feel bloated. When I get home I feel extremely tired because the sugar rush has ended. Why do I always do this to myself?

I think I may have last exercised on Thursday. At this rate, I'll take forever to get through C25K.

Breakfast: juicy mango, M&M's, strawberry melon drink

Lunch: rice, chicken curry, dal

Snack: giant S'mores bar. Had a can of Mt. Dew after work. I believe I've had a can of Mt. Dew 4 days in a row now...or something to that effect. This is not good. I look forward to the aftermath.

Dinner: vegetable mixture (potato, cabbage, carrot), chicken curry, white rice, dal

Exercise: went to gym, attempted to do Day 3 of Week 4. Failed. I did the first 3 minute run and then the 90 second walk. About 1 minute into the 5 minute run I really had to pee. Came back and ran about 6 minutes on an incline...so not a total fail I guess.

I had really strooong sugar cravings after dinner, but since we have nothing in the house I didn't give into them.

Not making any progress at all. I really got to get the show on the road.

Gotta Love That Skinny Feeling

I woke up this morning and felt skinnier. I think it was because I sweat a lot during my run last night and I didn't eat a bunch of crap after work as usual.

Breakfast: 20 oz strawberry melon drink, 1/2 big blueberry muffin, 1 bag M&Ms

Lunch: salami sandwich, bag of puppy chow

Snack: 1 oz bag of Doritos

Dinner: little bit of white rice, chicken curry, potato/cauliflower curry, 1/2 slice of tiny piece of cheesecake....can't remember what else. Oh...a little piece of cheese pizza (very little) and maybe 5 peanut M&M's

Hello and Goodbye Vacation Day

Yesterday, I felt like crap. I felt like I was a major loser and I had a big headache and didn't want to do anything.

Lunch: flour tortilla with cheese and hot sauce, some baked potato thing, breaded chicken kiev with some poisonous butter sauce inside

Snack: oodles of buffalo blue cheese chips

Dinner: white rice, chicken curry, potato/cauliflower curry

Dessert: small piece of cheesecake

In other words, nothing of nutritional value whatsoever.

Today:

Breakfast: strawberry melon Tropicana drink, M&M's

I feel good today. I really think Taco Bell gives me hangover symptoms.

Lunch: 3 small pieces of Bellatoria Southwestern pizza

Snack: 2 bags of M&M's !!! 1 oz. bag of cool ranch Doritos

Dinner: white rice, chicken curry, potato/caulifower curry

Dessert: miniscule bite of cheesecake

Exercise: The husband and I put this wooden edging around some landscaping in the front of the house and added some mulch. We walked to the gym and I did my first day of week 4 for Couch to 5K. It was really hard, but I feel good that I actually survived.

Complaints

These are some things that I would like to remove from my life. Mind you, this is just a list of my physical complaints...heh. The mental complaints could fill a novel.

• Stiffness in the morning. My whole body feels really stiff when I wake up in the morning. It also takes me a really long time to wake up in the morning and get going. This sucks.
• Fatness. I've gained over 40 pounds since getting married. I feel gross.
• Headaches. I suffer from headaches...mainly in the morning. I feel like I'm hungover. Even feel kind of nauseous. Not every morning. Mostly Monday mornings and some weekend mornings. These are probably due to overindulging in something.
• Severe sugar cravings. I have to eat about 15 pounds of sugar a day.
• My feet hurt when I walk on them after sitting for awhile. I think I have plantar fasciitis. Or however you spell it.
• Fatigue. Particularly after work. I just don't have the energy to do what I want to get done.
• Some sort of irritable bowel syndrome. I think really fattening, greasy food gives me diarrhea. And I think some sugary food gives me gas. haha

I have a theory that all of this stuff is due to my unhealthy diet. That is why I am going to be more accountable to myself and actually record all the crap that I eat.
