Day 5

1/22/2012

2 Comments

 
It's been a nice, relaxing day at home.  Brian had an errand to run this morning, so I was unable to go to church.  We couldn't go sledding, b/c the weather sucks ass.  So, it was a day of watching unbelievable football and making food in the kitchen.

I've been staying off the treadmill, as to give my stupid knee a break.  It's getting better, but it's still definitely sore.  It's weird.  It's even sore to the touch.  Anyway, I've tried to stay active, and I can certainly feel it.  This must be what it feels like to be old.  Everything is tight (well....insert your own joke here).  Getting up is a conscious effort.  Also, today as I was doing my BL workout, I realized one of the toughest things for me to do, are jumping jacks.  Really?  WTF?  Didn't we do those for fun as kids?  Now, I've got fat swinging from places, I didn't know I had it.  Hopefully, I'll forget all about that one day, until I look back and read this.  I'm hoping this fat thing really will be a part of my past.  A part of my past that I never want to revisit.

The food thing is going fairly well.  I'd be lying, if I didn't admit that I find myself hungry a lot.  That's my own fault.  I'm not following the plan strictly enough.  They want you to eat more raw veggies and steamed veggies than I can handle.  I can only take so much....   Hopefully as time goes on, it'll get easier to eat those volumes.  I also really miss having a bowl of cereal, or wheat English muffin, or oatmeal.  I know that I'm allowed one a day, but I can't bring myself to waste that one starch a day on that stuff.  After the 6 weeks, you can have 2, so I'm definitely looking forward to that.  Also, I'm not so creative in the kitchen.  I wish I were more so.  If I find something I like, I usually stick with it.  I need to get better.  I bought brussel sprouts for the first time...which I can honestly say I'm not looking forward to eating.  I need to find a good way to cook them...maybe roast them?  IDK...  Also tough tonight, as I made oatmeal cookies for the family.  It's really hard not to just eat one "to see how they turned out."  But I didn't...  Because when it really comes down to it, I feel good.  And excuse the cliche, but I just keep thinking, "nothing tastes as good as thin feels."  I know I'm a long way from thin, but I know I'm losing, so I'm going in the right direction.

Hope you guys had an awesome weekend!

Hi Jen. So proud of you! Hang in there. I just made roasted Brussel sprouts and cauliflower recently...put the pieces of cauliflower and sprouts in a freezer bag w/ 3tbs of olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper....spray sheet and spread out pieces and bake in oven at 450 degrees for 20 min...stir at 10 min. Pretty good. Miss you!

Hi Le Ann, thanks for the tip! I'll try it now! I'm not supposed to use any oil, though, so I'll need to cut down the amount. I'm stoked, though. Miss you, my friend!
