Sanity is great

First of all, here is proof that Red Neck Roy exists. That's him behind Patrick, heading down the road during an Arkansas blizzard. He's crazy. We stayed off the road.
*;-.)

I have rediscovered sanity in my eating, even leaving the turkey pepperoni in the fridge. Yes, there is some damage done that needs to be repaired (eating right and exercise), but PMS week is indeed a trial to be reckoned with.
Note to self:
  • Kudos for leaving the pepperoni in the fridge
  • Kudos for eating better, and being sane about the chocolate
  • Kudos for sending Mary outside with the camera and catching Red Neck Roy on film

becoming sane again

Today we are having snow again, so I am definately not going out to walk. Red Neck Roy is out there today and he does not know how to drive in this stuff. Otherwise, I would LOVE to walk in the snow.

I would like to take another look at my kickboxing video with Kathy Smith. There is not a lot of moving around so I might be able to do it. I find that I fare better if I do aerobics barefoot. I also fared better when I tilled the garden barefoot or in my favorite thick rubber flip flops. =:-0 Don't try this one at home, kids. Always wear YOUR shows.

I think I have become sane again and hope to able to eat like a sane person, tho I am still PMS-ing.

Breakfast was a sugar free coconut candy, like a mini Mounds, tho it was mini-ier than that . I also grabbed the Blueberries and nibbled on a few grapes. Then, I finaly decided on Raisin Bran with Almond milk.

I have just eaten a beef hot dog (that has been heated up too many times and boiled for too long, thanks to cook-it-all-to-death-Katie...urgh) on a bun from the Wal Mart bakery.
*;-.P
Note to self
  • you don't really like hot dogs when they've been cooked to death repeatedly.
  • don't force yourself to eat it even tho you like the texture of the Wal Mart bakery hot dog rolls.
  • Kudos on eating only ONE coconut candy this morning.
  • Kudos for not continuing the stress eating today.
  • Kudos for being safe from Red Neck Roy.
  • Kudos for considering the Kathy Smith Kickboxing again

Red Neck Roy and all his inbred cousins are on the road today. I think I'll work out inside today. =:-0


Now that PMS anger day is over, I think just might do Yoga with Rodney Yee today--(sigh) AND! eat properly.


I don't remember what I've eaten over the past couple of days, but I am sure I *don't* remember for a reason. =:-0 Amnesia is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. God is good.

What day is this? A PMS day

Today I am really battling the famine panic and PMS cravings. UGH! I am losing that battle. Breakfast was 1 square of Fresh Apple Gingerbread, 1 small slice of Cuban Water Bread a grapefruit. BUT emotionally, that was not enough. I HAD TO eat a pretzel rod and um....a palmful of chocolate rocks. UGH! I am miserable


I had a sandwich for lunch with cucumbers and sugar snap peas. And good conversation
I did a short yoga sequence, squats, back, arms and abs

Dinner was Bean Pot. Ate only a little cuz I am SICK of bean things.

I think I have a handle on the famine panic, tho PMS is raging. I made fudge. It's working. 10 pieces of fudge and my raging PMS and famine panic are gone.






Next morning I made muffins, ate a blueberry one and a tropical surprise one and 1/2 of a large apple, gave the rest to insatiable son.
Lunch was......vegetarian vegetable soup (campbells) and a couple of pretzels.
Now I am eating a little popcorn. Think I have a handle on the famine panic. Don't want to eat everything.
I walked with Patrick today and worked pecs, delts and abs.
Note to self
  • self, step away from the fudge
  • you prefer to do the pose guide sequence on the yoga. Is longer and you feel the workout
  • Kudos for *really* having a handle on the famine panic

Regretting what I ate

UGH!! I am still regretting the Cheetos from the other day, when I went shopping with mom and didn't have lunch first. I will have to remember how I feel after eating a food that I KNOW makes me feel lousy.



I was able to keep the Hormel Turkey Pepperoni in the fridge on Sunday.
I may have eaten a few slices on Saturday. I forget.


I did indeed work out saturday Jillian Michaels style, (circuit training) without the potty mouth, tho.





I found I REALLY miss moving about during aerobics. I really miss it, but injuries keep me in place. But, I still felt good doing what I could, and imagined moving about as I remained in place. Aerobics, weights then abs, several circuits.



I take Sundays off from exercise.
I layed around in bed until nearly 10 am (didn't have church because of stake conference, and had bad weather over the weekend) and ate....something.....I forget...um....a piece of home made Cuban Water Bread and a grapefruit. Now, whoever determined that the proper amount to eat is only 1/2 a grapefruit must not like grapefruit. I eat the whole thing, no guilt.
Ate a square of Hershey Bliss caramel chocolate sometime (all things in moderation), a few pieces of black licorice and palmful of salted Pumpkin seeds.
Chef salad with 3 Colossal Garlic Stuffed Green Olives.... mmmmmm and another piece of my home made bread (I like my carbs)
Dinner was barbequed boneless chicken breast, corn and steamed kale with carrot chips and onions...
Note to self
  • Kudos for keeping the Turkey Pepperoni in the fridge today
  • Don't buy Cheetos anymore unless you plan to burn the bag
  • Kudos for taking Sundays off
  • Kudos for finding a workout that...well...works for you, and without the potty mouth

Day 6- I don't hurt today



I was mindful of my neck muscles during Yoga and during free weights. I don't feel horrible today.


Breakfast was.....something while waiting for the water to boil for my gOatmeal with maple and pecans..oh yes, little bit of leftover Cucumber Salsa
2 tiny flaky biscuits (that I really didn't want, but am pms-ing so I ate them anyway)and a Fiber One Oats and Chocolate bar
I feel lousy from eating so much....ugh......

I think today I will combine weights and cardio Jillian Michaels style, but without the potty mouth.
Note to self
  • Kudos for being mindful of your neck muscles. It really made a difference
  • Kudos for noticing how you feel after eating too much. UGH!
