back in action

i abandoned this blog for a bit bc i was feeling really down.

i am feeling better.

i'm up at my dad's in WA now and the past 2 days have been great for eating and exercise.

i've made some big changes overall. BLACK coffee!!! doing the 3-5 small meals a day thing and is keeping me going better. trying to have veggies and/or fruit in every meal with grains and protein and very few carbs or carbs that are in things like whole grain bread.

i haven't given in to ice cream in a while. if i do i will get the enhanced yogurt ice cream stuff so it's like ice cream but there are still cultures and stuff and a lot less fat and calories and sugar.

i have been getting pizza way too much. the last time i ordered i swore it was the last time i would order it, i am going to try to fight that urge as much as possible. i had leftovers i took on the train and when i got to my dad's i threw it away. YaY!

i want to reiterate that these are life changes i am making. i am not on a diet. i am not just exercising now to lose some weight. i hope to embed these good practices and continue them to the point where i don't even think about it anymore.

saturday

i walked and exerbiked - woo!

i ate really healthy. except i gave in to ice cream. i said it was my last treat. hopefully i can abide by that rule.

right now i am having oatmeal and coffee with a bit of ff soy creamer

wed-fri

it's been an ok few days. i've been sitting on my yoga ball using my core muscles and some arm weights and exerbiking. i have not, however, left my house except to get mail, bring out garbage and recycling and go to the corner store. a big walk should happen.

i've been eating pretty well. fruits, vegs, grains, dairy, nuts, banana / walnut bread, carbs :( but period time always gives some allowances.

here's my banana walnut bread

tuesday!

i am pleased with how i ate. coffee&ff creamer, hazelnuts, biscuit w/jam, vegi/tofu/bean burrito, soy yogurt w/berries and apple shake, milk, tea.

i also walked a lot. i was going to exerbike, but it was already 9:15 and i have pms and cramps. nuf said.

Wednesday to Monday Catch-Up

So. I've been half eating really well. and then half eating really poorly. i've given into pizza and ice cream. besides that, it's been pretty good in the hood. i did a lot of walking. and some exerbiking. i need some routine, yo. and i figured out that if i do stuff hard-core from *right this instant* until june, i could potentially lose 25 pounds, if i lost 2 a week. ready, set, go! oh, i haven't been back to the doc, i'm gonna schedule it tomorrow. i think the thyroid supplement helped with energy bc the past few days i've been sleepy mc sleepsalot and possibly appetite, too. oh, i ran out of it, thursday or friday was the last day i took them. also, the reason i want to lose weight before june is i am in my bro's wedding. amongst other reasons. go grrl!
