in that all we had a flood sweep through town. Southern half was evacuated but we were safe on a our hill top and took in a few friends who were asked to get out of their homes.
I spent a weekend running an event
prolly drank too much soda and had more ramen that I should but I will not deny that I have been having a bit of stress eating and drinking.
 Working on getting my clock to reset and managed to get up everyday this week at 5:30. Next step will be to get exercise in that time restarted.

My schedule gets a bit quieter for a while. It will pick up again but right now I am reading a few books and enjoying the day.

09/06/13

wow where has the last two weeks gone? Ok I know where one week went. I guess I know where this week has gone too, trying to find and get back from last week. Still feel a bit like I am moving underwater and yet while out camping it was up and at'em everyday at 6:30 no matter what time I went to bed.

Going back on an anti soda kick for a while. I would say I am giving it up for good but it seems that is not something I can do so rather than making that sweeping statement, I am going to work on not drinking it again for awhile.

i will be gone for over a week but much activity will happen and far fewer time for any chances to not eat well. What we bring with us is what we have. So if I don't bring it, I don't eat it. or drink it.
  I will be fighting hard, playing harder and possibly having an alcoholic drink or two. The site we are at is very hilly so I will be walking up and down lots.

I do have a plan to see what i can do to keep up my activity levels when I get back next wednesday as activity is so good for me.

Mostly spent lost of time with Jim which is a rare thing in my world as of late. In fact running off this weekend too. But dwelling on the nice, we watch the fireworks, went shopping, had couch time, saw a movie and had more couch time.
Only day I was a wee bit bad and I am not even mad at myself for it was sunday. I read a book almost all day. Do you realize how long it has been that I could sit down with a book to read all day? Just for fun? I lounged on the couch, all by myself. with a book and the occasional snack, ice cream, chips and quesadilla. And while there is a twinge of guilt behind it, I am owning it!
Also week two fo not buying any ramen. Not in the house, can't eat it!

do the work is my current motto
I can complain about things but I can also just put on my big girl panties and do the work. I am not perfect. I want to lounge about on the couch with a bag of chips and a mt dew some days. I don't but I do give in now and again to have a can of soda and not beat myself up about it. I also do still eat ramen. I will not deny it is my comfort food and while I might argue that I have marginally made it healthier with the addition of green beans, I still know what I am eating is a big bowl of comfort.
Do the work- so there is. I know there are things I want to do and I have to do the work to get there.
So today was up early, house cleaning and water

am snack was pistachios and more water

Up and at 'em!
5:00 was here before I knew it and I was up with a cup of tea and no sugar.
hopped on bike for 42 minutes and 17 miles, ugh. it burns us! But it was done
breakfast was brown rice, tofu with peanut sauce mixed in with salad greens as I had no lettuce with water it was good!
am snack did not happen as I had a dentist appoinment and I didn't want to muss that fresh feeling.
I did have hot and sour soup for lunch but rather than the small 12 oz that I usually get it was a big one. So prolly more calories than I was supposed to ingest for that meal. But since I skipped my am snack... Made sense
Afternoon snack is an apple with water
dinner tonight will be zucchini ankara (lots of zucchini, onions and chickpeas) with cous cous  seasoned with mint and marjoram. and more water

pm snack, cottage cheese and strawberries. And more water

03/25/13

Had a fantastic last couple of weeks. Ate well with little crap while camping. However the road food caught me up with my choices ending up being deep fried things and grilled cheese sandwiches.
 I did fight almost every day and definitely walked around like crazy miles. I did drink more soda than I had in a long while and I think I actually got drunk one night.

But now I am home again and prolly not wandering about very far.
 Am working with a friend to jump start ourselves back to healthy.  We are doing the 12 week body for life program. Modified for a vegetarian and for using what weights and gear we have at home and not buying new stuff.
Today was day one. I did 18 minutes 6.5 miles on bile then did reps for my shoulders, triceps, biceps, pectorals and back.
Breakfast this morning was 2 egg whites poached on 1/2 of a whole wheat english muffin with a slice of low fat swiss cheese and water. i had my caffeine tab and much water
snack 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds and water
lunch is Quorn "sloppy joes" lettuce wrap and steamed asparagus and more water
afternoon snack is an orange
dinner is a salad and water
evening snack is cottage cheese and a slice of pineapple.

I am not accustomed to eating so much but it is not really as much as a i think as it is all very portion controlled.
 I will post my measurements in the am and every week after. 

02/26-03/04

WAR!
 Which means not much junk food, little more than usual soda, but nothing to be horrified by and lots of alcohol.
But also means I am up every morning at 7 and was in to bed by 2 every night with much fighting and walking around. Very solid and healthy breakfasts and dinners lunches were little nibbles as it was too hot to eat anything more than that.
Got home this morning at 4am. Might have had some cinnamon bears around to help keep me awake for that last stretch.

02/20/13

did not rise and shine this am. I did get up and got some things done but not so shiny.
Had water for breakfast and ramen with a glass of milk still relying on ramen as comfort food. Solution, don't let myself buy it. It really works that if I don't have it in the house, I can not eat it.
lunch was almonds, my apple was rotten in the middle-ewwwwwww
had more water and shake
have a killer head ache. Took some advil and a cup of tea
dinner tonight is cheese and black bean nachos. with more water
there is a chance if my head ache doesn't clear that I will have a mt dew
