I've been writing and re-writing this blog in my head for the past two weeks. I just haven't sat down to write it. It's been a dull past two weeks to say the least and my diet has kinda taken a toll because of it. It all started on the Monday after the Snow BIZaar when I just didn't know what to do with myself. I called it my Snow BIZaar "hang over", kind of like planning a wedding for a year. Having your entire world be about that wedding and then after it is over, what the heck do ya do now? So I was a bit lacking in the ambition department for that week.
Then all of a sudden at the end of that week, all I wanted to do was eat! That tuned into my period which turned into about 4 days of super crabby Lisa. I just hate being crabby especially when I can't control it. The smallest thing was setting me off and I was a bit out of control. My poor family. Then it was all topped off with a trip that I was suppose to go on out to the East Coast to see my sister. I was unable to go for many reasons and I didn't think it would hit me quite as bad as it did. My chiro asked me how I was doing last Friday and it kind of hit me. I was upset because I was suppose to be there and I wasn't. Luckily, my dad took my children on Friday afternoon over night til Saturday afternoon so I got a little bit of a break from my kids and my crazy crabby week of life.
Now I need to get on my soapbox for sec: Sometimes I feel that is sucks to be a woman! The birth control that I'm on doesn't add hormones into my system so since I got over the baby thing - I've been full bore, no alterations, sometimes out of control moody during my time of the month and it sucks! It also sucks having to take care of everyone all the time. I know this sounds bad but I get tired sometimes of taking care of everything and as women, we are just expected to do this all the time. I love my husband and my boys more than anything. I just need to vent. And these darn hormones - like we need help in the stress/mood/crabbiness category.
Now I will step down off my soapbox...glad that's over. Sorry you had to read that. I just needed to vent, like I said. The diet has taken a hit because I'm not as disciplined as I was the first 4 months. I'm now past the 4 months and I guess I need to figure out what that means for me. I'm at 28.7% body fat and my goal is to get down to 25%. That is hard to do when you get down the where I'm at. Its like the 100 pounders on the Biggest Loser that have a hard time loosing weight once they get down below 200 pounds. I need to refocus and start making myself daily and weekly goals so I can stay focused. I'm doing really well with the training and I feel so good about where I am in that training that I'm not worried about that half marathon coming up here the first of May. I need to take what I've been taught and use it everyday. I need to eat good foods everyday. Eat more food on my heavy workout days and on those days that I feel I need to eat those chips, I need to be sure to workout.
Last thing for today - I've learned to eat oatmeal and I really like it! I've always thought it was slimmy and icky. But last week, I decided to try it out from the whole oats. I added milk and then an egg white right before it was done cooking (to add extra protein) and then I added a little bit of real maple syrup and brown sugar. It was so yummy and I've eaten a lot of it since I tried it last week. I guess I challenge you to try some new foods this week too!
Til the next time......................................................
