Wednesday - 4/23

HUMP DAY!!!!!!! It's so quiet around the office this week. Our local schools all have spring break so I guess everyone is out of town. Whatever the reason, I'll take it. I like it when I can get some stuff accomplished without folks constantly in and out of the office.

I'm headed to the pool after work to get my physical therapy in. I see the therapist once a week and then on my own every other day for now. Yesterday I felt like a bus had hit me. This morning it feels like that same bus is parallel parked on my butt. Apparently I worked some muscles there that I don't ususally disturb.

I've got to do better about drinking my water. After Hala mentioned the lemon water, I bought some lemons to bring to work and then walked out and left them sitting on the counter this morning. Guess I'll go brew a fresh pot of decaf tea and make myself sip on that all day.

The plan for today is looking like:

Commute: Coffee

Breakfast: Peanut Butter wrap (with the apple and cranberries)

Lunch: Leftover Seafood Salad from last night with a few crackers and some cheese

snack: Iced Click protein shake

Dinner (later than ususal): Pinto Beans

I've got the morning vitamins taken care of. Now to drink tha****er. Must drink water.....must drink....must drink...must drink....

Iris you crack me up....you worked muscles that you don't usually disturb.  Oh how I can relate...I felt muscles after my first yoga class that felt that way.

Good morning BOTTs.

Nothing new going on around here...I kinda like it like that.  I'm working on my Zen.  Ohhhhmmmm.

Breakfast:  greek yogurt

Lunch:  veggie burger wrapped in lettuce

Dinner:  shredded chicken "something"   (I threw about 7 frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot lastnight along with some seasonings with no plan in mind as to what I was creating.  It sure made my house smell yummy tho!

Snack:  Splenda sweetened pickles and string cheese

Have a peaceful day.

love yoga... need to go back there.. now tai chi is kicking my rear end.. (not literally) 

I swear I've got some demented form of dyslexia... I read this "Snack: Splenda sweetened pickles and string cheese" as Splenda sweetener packets. I was like "Damn, I thought I had a splenda addicition"

I'll go back to work now.   lol

I add some stevia to my lemon water.. so good... yumm. 

I had blood draw today. Next week I see how my numbers are.. 

I am trying my best to see what I can do in next week - and I am not even sure what is my weight.. I know I am up because my jeans do not fit me like they are suppose to.. I also can see "my back rolls" enough for me to go 

My eating is .. yea... not to bad ,. but not good either... I do fine most of the day then comes evening and all bets are off.. 

I got rid off all the candies and food that I am not supposed to eat.  The holidays are over and no more excuses.. 

We are going to tai-chi class (1 more left) and it is a hard work..  It looks so easy and peaceful.. until you try it. Last night when my legs were cooperating  my arms felt like birds wings half broken,  flapping with no grace or real purpose.  When the teacher told us that we are doing great I just started laughing.. so did he.. 

Only good thing for me is my yoga training and since the guy is chinese and speaks with a heavy chinese accent - I am one of the people in the class who has no problem understanding him. (for years I have been working with Asians - chinese and japanese people)Apparently my BF can understand app 50%of what the guy is saying..  but then he only gets me app 50% of the time.. he he he

I am still learning to make food and snacks dairy - soy -gluten- starches and sugar free..  using stevia.. 

It i**** and miss.  

Ya know...sometimes this website kills me....I had posted full on comment yesterday and all it posted was the face????  I have to recreate a little of it, anyway because I loved your post.

I loved this face  and can totally relate.because that's how I feel about my ass! 

When I hear (or read?) anyone talk about Tai Chi, I always chuckle a little because whenever my mother goes to Tai Chi, she always follows it up with Chai Tea at a little coffee/tea shop. 

The boyfriend comment cracked me up too...he understands about 50% of what the guy says...followed by he only gets you app 50% of the time, too.  I think that is so spot on with (most) men, in general!  I know my husband lives his life selectively when it comes to what I say or do....now this is probably half by choice and half his gender!!! 

And lastly....my eats are generally pretty good but like you....come evening...all bets are off. 

Happy Thursday to you!

LOL.. I am originally from Poland.. . and not only I have an accent - but I also try to speak very fast when I am excited...plus i make my own "Hala's idioms"- some on purpose - some by accident -and my poor BF never know if I know and make fun of english or just this is the way I say things.. Plus I try to use polish idioms translated to english and most of the time they don't make any sense ... My BF still has not mastered Polish... he knows the important words: piwo (beer) + names of polish food.. at least some of them.. . 

let me tell you - get gest amused by the way I talk weekly..

Here is a sample from of conversation between my my dear, dear, dear friend (polish) and her husband.. (Ania is polish) 

Ania: so what happens when your brain is farting?

Seth: you mean a brain fart?

Ania: no so when the brain is farting...

Seth: it's not known as that, it's known as a brain fart

Ania: hahahaha you're killing me Seth. Ok so when you have a brain fart uhhh uhhh haha I forget what I was trying to say.

Seth: So you just had a brain fart?

Ania: Oh yes! So that's what that is?

Seth: hahahaha yes!

Ania: So what's the other thing? A brain freezer?

Seth: You mean a brain freeze? When you drink something cold and have an instant headache?

Ania: Yes that's what I just got.

Ania:  I guess I had a frozen brain fart?

THAT is hysterical!!!!   I love it.
