Thursday Cardio and Cafe

Morning All.

Nice and sunny and cool this morning. I'm going to my niece's to help her with her yard sale and help with her 4 boys. Should be fun but other than the breakfast burrito I ate after having my labs done I have
no idea what I'm eating today. I do know I'm not going to blow it, it
took me too long to get myself back on track.
Hope everyone has a good day

Doing a rain dance here this morning.  Everything is so dry and dusty. There was a chance of thunderstorms last night but they managed to miss us. I think there's the same chance again tonight.

I've got to finish this coffee so I can make the switch to water for the day. There's something ingrained in me to not waste coffee. The morning vitamins are in. Breakfast was a Scrambled egg burrito. Lunch is more than likely going to be a frozen weigh****chers meal. Turkey more than likely. Dinner is undecided. I did take a package of chicken out to thaw this monring. So it made end up on the grill or in the rotisserie. Either way it'll have a nice salad to go along with it. Snacks for the day are a cheese stick, some smoked almonds and Greek key lime yogurt. Not to shabby.

Exercise today is going to be more of the same physical therapy stuff. Yesterday kicked my butt.

Yall have a great day.

I ran out of nice tasting Vegan protein shake and realized that I have this large tub of another vegan protein shake.  Sniff test pass the inspection. So I made a shake wondering why I "forgot" the large tub... Now drinking it - reminds me why - it has a nasty aftertaste... ugh... not good. It will be a few days before my "good shake" is in.. ugh.. 

I do have some others.. but weekend will be challenging... Specially since I am getting iron infusion tomorrow - so most food will really hurt me..  o well.. I still have some egg white protein powder that I tolerate..   I also try to have 12/12 hours.  I read somewhere that we need to give our body a break - so I eat for 12 hrs.. and then have only coffee or tea for the next 12 hours. That works for me since i really don't like food in the morning but need food when I start moving around and before bed... 

eats today: 

coffee and coffee the tea

protein shake (old one - OK)

protein shake... (ugh..) and I have one more to drink 

egg drop soup with some fiber 

hot dogs (natural, organic) with some veggies. 

LNS: nuts ??or nut butter... 

more water.. 

 

 

 

 

Got back from being gone for six days and the scale wasn't kind to me !   Of course, eating out six times didn't help.  Gotta get on track......today I have been good.....vits taken, made a pitcher of tea and have been drinking water and tea like crazy.....gonna do my pre-surgery protein shake and eat dinner diet today.....2-shakes and 5 ounces of protein and 2 cups veggies for dinner.....only doing it today ....

breakfast...........coffee/miralax , grapes, and coffee protein shake

lunch.................strawberry protein shake

dinner................5 oz. grilled chicken and 2 cups green beans

tomorrow is a new day !!!

 

Good morning/afternoon BOTTs.

I'm a big hockey fan and my Kings won the first game of the series for the Stanley Cup lastnight so that was fun!  On the downside (why is there always a downside???) I got carried away while watching and ate over 2/3's of a bean and cheese burrito!  Dump-da-da-dump soon followed. 

The weather here in San Diego is not too hot right now,  which is really good news, considering how dry everything is after not having any measurable rain in a very long time.  I will join Iris in the rain dance  !!!

I feel like I am in limbo right now, but I am not sure it's all about.  Almost like I am waiting for something to happen before I begin something else.(?)

Such a perplexing feeling.  I suppose it has to do with the ongoing battle with depression but I am tired of living on "pause" so I think I will make a list of things I want/need to do and just get to it.  Simplifying my life really needs to happen, I get overwhelmed really easy and when that happens, I shut down. 

Breakfast:  banana & belvita breakfast biscuits

Snack:  too many red & white peppermint hard candies (wtf???)

Lunch:  salad with 2 strips of beef and feta cheese, beets

Dinner:  Nor sure yet....I am thinking probably fish and green beans

Snack:  apple and string cheese

It's noon right now and I have only had enough water to take my pills with.....so duh....time to break open a bottle.

Note to self* remember to stop by the feed store to pay for my feed that was delivered on tuesday.  

I need to get my endorphins going in a bad way so I will run up and down the stairwell a couple of times before I leave work today.

MUST.  END.  FUNK. 

Have a lovely day, friends.  I look forward to reading the tidbits about each and everyone's life happenings.

Gaby, sorry you not feeling so good. Dehydration may play a large role in that. 

hope you fell better soon. 

 

Thanks....that, alone, helps. 

Hugs
