Hello all
Sorry I'm such a bum! I'm reading the new posts every night but it's tough to find time to write for a few minutes. That's one thing I haven't figured out - how do I balance Life with exercise and eating healthy. Seems like I get home from work; relax for a few minutes if I got out early enough; cook dinner; eat dinner; relax for a few and maybe talk to my Mom or daughter; do a cardio workout; short break with a snack; PT workout mixed with weights; fall down! By the time I get to bed I'm achy and tired and manage to put heat on my back while petting the cat and finishing my PT exercises. Seems like there's no time to do anything else. How do you all manage to fit other things in?? I'm not really whining (though it might read that way) because I love how healthy my body is becoming. I just can't figure out how to make this part of my life without it controlling my life.
A couple of days ago I experienced the Unfortunate Sugar Free Candy Incident. I will never, ever be tempted by that stuff again. My stomach is still not quite right. From now on if I must indulge it will be a small piece of good, extra dark chocolate - the real stuff.
Jillnicole - I've been thinking of trying fat smash when I hit the inevitable plateau. What do you think of it as an eating plan? It seems healthy, just a bit of a change from what I'm doing. BTW I'm a vegetarian so fake meat is the only type I eat. I love Lightlife smart cutlets. Tonight I cooked them in peppers and mushrooms
2beautiful - I know what you mean about the silly labels. I was so excited when I crossed over into overweight. I also like shopping for clothes in the regular section. So is this a purse you're had your eye on?
Jasmine - I had a no exercise day yesterday myself. Was all set to get on the treadmill when my Mom called. By the time I got off the phone I was just too darn tired to push myself. I do miss cheesy bread - wonder how it would be on whole wheat with lf cheese? I bet if there was enough garlic it would still be good. Hmm, might have to try that this weekend.
Becky -
nice to meet you
Okay, time for the weights and PT exercises.
