Well, I forgot to mention that yesterday between work and the salad, I took the dogs to the dog park for almost an hour. I walked around and around the park, hiking through snow and balancing on uneven ground. Not only did I get exercise hiking, but also burned calories through shivering. Now, if I'd been leaping around and running through the snow like the dogs were, I'd probably be a size four today. I should consider joining them. Nah...
Today I got up and drove the kids to school. They received a free lecture with the drive. I think it wasn't as appreciated as it should have been, however. I didn't get to Qi-Gong last night as I had cramps really bad, but I did go to the Paradise and worked on a future batik project. There was no wax or dyes though as I didn't get that far. So my $10 is, IMO, good until next month. I'll sneak in another day.
Today I had an egg, a piece of toast, and coffee. Then I took the dogs to the dog park again and walked around twice. I'm now having a chai and waiting to meet a friend and then off to my Mom's house. I brought my yoga DVDs and mat so maybe I'll do that while she works on the computer.
I have yet to pass a fruit or veggie past my lips. Which reminds me I was going to give Marv some of the clementines I bought yesterday and grab one to eat, and I forgot. Rats. Well, I'll fruit-load later today.
Which brings me back to the topic. A few weeks ago Greyson was telling me that he didn't feel good. His stomach hurt and he was nauseous. I said, Have you eaten? To which he answered in the negative. I said, Well, go eat. He said he wasn't hungry. I said, That IS hungry. He ate, and felt better. And I knew that because that's how I feel when I need to eat. I don't get the mental note: I'm hungry. I simply start to feel ill. Like I'm going to throw up. Then I have to think, when did I last eat? And sometimes it's been a long time, so then I overeat, resulting in either me gaining weight or me actually throwing up. Neither is good. Plus it's difficult working nights to regulate when I'm eating. I have to think, "Is it dinner time? Breakfast?" Because I sleep sporatically, and eat when I'm bored rather than when I should eat.
Years ago, I solved this issue by having things like carrot sticks or fruit sitting in the fridge, so when I was peckish I could just run in and grab something on my way out rather than thinking, "I have nothing to eat!" and running to the closest fast food joint. So that's what I'm gonna have to do.
I'm excited about getting my life back!The idea of having time and energy to do yoga, run, eat the way I should, read, write, and all that other stuff is pretty cool. I had no idea four years ago what I would lose (and GAIN) when I started this chapter of my life, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
