Just 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice (done once), drink 2 liters of water (I’ve drunk about 1/2 liter), walk 5 miles (yesterday HA! — Double HA!), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.
Living in the Real World
The reason we’re here is to help us keep on track — ESPECIALLY during those times when everything conspires to push us off. So I’m NOT going to panic that the world (my world) is totally covered in ice and I STILL have to go to work. I’ll make it to the car OK.
And though I won’t make it to the gym this morning — I totally overslept — I have been walking in my Big Empty Room.
What are you going to do today?
Morning KB.
You be careful out there. I was watching all day yesterday about the ice storm and thinking of you and Kansas. I still can’t believe they have you coming in. Although one flake of snow down here would close down the whole place.
Take care.
I’ll make it to the car OK.
That’s… um… reassuring.
FM’s right. You know you’re in the South when they forecast an inch of snow and it’s on the front page of all the major papers. We got the gift of three nice days the first part of this week, and I’m taking advantage while they last. We’ll be in the cold, rainy soup this weekend — Lord knows we need the rain, but cold steel rain is my least favorite weather. Snow, and even ice, are better because there’s a good chance we’ll get to stay home.
There’s chicken & vegetable soup in the crock pot this morning. C’mon by & help yourself, everyone!
Hi kb. I haven’t been walking lately becaus of the weather. I need to get back on that stationary bike soon.
Unfortunately… I’ve just had an all too “real world” experience. I binge-ate for the first time in years yesterday.
I didn’t even realize I was doing it until it was too late. I’d eaten an ungodly amount of ice cream by the time I realized it was a binge.
Since I haven’t binged in so long, my body was completely unused to that amount of calories. I started having heart palpitations, then started sweating profusely in my sleep, and then woke up to vomit three seperate times. I vomited up creamy bile coated swirls of Haagen Daaz. I wasn’t purging, as in bulemia… the vomiting was definitely involuntary.
I was actually really shocked. I’d eaten about a pint and a half – which I haven’t done in ages… (nor have I had any sort of binge like that in ages)…. but my former self could have eaten that amount of ice cream (and more) in a binge and not batted an eyelid.
I am kind of shocked by how disgusting that behavior is and how a healthy trained body (aka my current body) rejected it.
Wow.
I feel naked for having revealed that to you all but on the upside, at least it will put you off of ice cream for a while.
Failing to do proper shopping is a hazard, for sure. If the right stuff is in the house and the wrong stuff stays at the store, it’s a lot easier.
Having a family member who goes and buys the wrong stuff, however, is an on-going problem at my house. Last night Mr. apologized for starting to put food on my plate, though, so I guess he’s FINALLY getting it. He should know by now that I measure my food all the time.
Work has been really stressful lately and my body is reacting badly. I have been feeling on the edge of a pancreatitis attack for the past couple of days. The only cure for it is, basically, fasting. I have to take anti-nausea medication, but so far no pain pills needed. When “that feeling” wakes me up in the middle of the night, it’s no fun.
A big problem, though, is that I’m going out of town this weekend– to an area where the temps are below freezing and it’s been snowing.
Guess I just have to trust that things won’t get any worse.
