07/22/10

Not up so early. I seemed to want to linger in bed far longer than I should which means I got nothing done this morning. Although I think that dreams are important so it is all good.
Breakfast was brown rice, tofu lettuce wrap with peanut sauce had water and a cup of non caffeinated peach tea.

07/17-18/10

Had a good weekend
kept soda intake to 1 a day
ate well. Played with the tennis rackets and balls with Avalon on saturday and then went for a long walk with Timony and Xena on sunday.
like having strong legs, like feeling more vital. I know I know I like exercise, just don't like getting to it when I have so many other projects. Funny, usually things that make you feel good, you do over and over, so why do I stop? must ruminate on that a bit.

07/16/10

Disrupted sleep again last night.
Up at 6
breakfast was a mt dew, a glass of water, a piece of toast and a multi vitamin. Bad idea- the mt dew made the multi vitamin do unhappy things in my belly.
Rode bike in
had water
lunch was a cheese sandwich that was less than satisfactory as bread was very dry and crumbly and not the kind of bread I wanted to really eat so bonus that I did not finish my sandwich. But did have second dew. Keep trying to tell myself that it is acid that is eating through my innards. But the primitive part of me goes- but it tastes soooooooo good!
more water and not sure what is for dinner might just be brown rice, tofu lettuce and peanut sauce

07/15/10

Up earlier than usual- damn dogs they could have waited 1 more hour. grumble

Okay scales and measurement time
June - July
at 12:53 pm- at 12:32
Weight: 232 - Weight: 226
bust is 45 1/2 - Bust: 44
waist is 43 - Waist: 43
hips are 49 1/2 - hips: 49
thigh 26 1/2 - thigh: 25!!!!
bicep 14 - bicep 13 21/2
calf 18 - calf :18

Which means I am now at the weight I was when I was pregnant with Avalon! And proves the point of getting some exercise in the whole mix. I am intrigued to see what happens in the next month as I have gotten the three day a week biking down to a real schedule type of thing. Non payday week is M-W-F and payday week is T-W-TH. Avalon has asked me to get some tennis whacking in the mix and that can't hurt. Well it could if I don't wear my brace. :)

07/14/10

Up early and had a big cup of tea
breakfast was a scrambled egg
rode my bike into work

Dinner tonight is potato burritoes and more water.

07/13/10

Up early and damn- reached for the first mt dew of the day- crap crap crap. Thoughts on why I can't break the soda- I like the caffeine and flavor. What can I do? I have tried replacing it with oj and that just gets my tummy upset. I have tried using tea to wean me off the soda and while I adore a cup of tea after a period of a couple weeks, I find my eye starts to twitch. In fact, green tea starts it up RIGHT away. Which cuts out these cool instant tea from celestial seasonings.
Breakfast was two pieces of toast.
Drove into work
had another mt dew crap crap crap
lunch is hot and sour soup and water
Dinner is something I might think about later- tons of leftovers in the fridge.
Had leftover sundried basil pasta and cheetoes- far far too many cheetoes, evil orange tasty things.

Even with all the picnics and bbq's I maintained good eating habits.
Worked hard out in the yard on saturday- finally got all the bushes that were crowding the lilacs cut out. 3 trucks loads worth.
Did have two sodas on saturday but only one on sunday and none on monday.
Sunday was devoted to regular house hold chores and then it rained so we did not go out for fireworks.
Monday was a bit lazy. Made a pancake breakfast for the family and spent the rest of the day working on a huge weaving project.

Had a friend come in very early this morning 2:30 stayed up til 3:30. Alarm went off at 5 but I told it in no uncertain terms to piss off. I did finally crawl out of bed at 6:00 mostly because my friend brought a dog with her and he and Xena decided to jingle their collars so I would let them out.
Had a coke
We went out for breakfast. I had scrambled eggs and potatoes and water. I am much regretting eating breakfast out as it is not sitting well with me. Major tummy rumbling
Since brekkies were so late will probably skip lunch. But am having mt dew and water. Trying to flush out the rumbles.
