More lessons for me… I have had a wobbly few days on my program which came to a head on Monday… I went to a healthfood store…should have been safe…not so much! I don’t know what came over me but it wasn’t pretty… I ended up with this huge cookie and chocolate bar…and the next thing I knew I was on the couch and they were both gone! 45 minutes later I had the start of a raging headache…that began on Monday and I haven’t felt normal since…until I woke up this morning! In fact, it gave me a migraine! My food has firmly been on program since the chocolate… Wow…it really messed me up bad…I mean really bad… All the horrible feelings…all the horrible words coming out of my mouth at people who don’t deserve that… The tears…the drama…the horror! I know now…for a fact…that kind of eating triggers my migraines! I don’t know for sure that there aren’t other triggers but at the very least I know that that is true! I haven’t checked my weight in a few days… I know I am building some muscle…I feel like I definitely look leaner..but it is still depressing to see the gain… I know I really need to pay closer attention to calories… My appt with my Dr. is next week and I am looking forward to getting off my medication however long that takes. I am really hoping that will give the signal that my body needs to get back into lose mode.
I am still cooking a lot of new things… I put together a whole wheat pasta salad yesterday with basil olive oil, seasoning, fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, and diced tomatoes that even DH and DD liked. I also found a frozen wheat roll that tastes really good right out of the microwave! :) So, I am going back through the books…again and again…I am planning and I am heading to yoga here in a few minutes… I am doing what I need to do to take care of me…and I am only going to think ahead as far as the next choice that I make.
Final thought… It is CRISS ANGEL DAY!!!! :P Everybody dance with me!!!! bounce bounce!!!
Way to stay positive, such an inspiration. After about three weeks from the workouts, you’ll probably begin to see some minor losses. I feel like I’m in the same area with feeling leaner but the scale telling me differently. Just think, when ppl look at you, they dont see the scale, they seen the lean mean fightin machine.
so keep up the great work! Yay for Criss Angel!
