Tip of the day: Drink water when you get up, before you eat or drink anything else. You can drink up to a liter. This helps to keep your system cleaned out and get things going. -I think I learned this on the documentary, Food Matters
I'm feeling a bit better today, than I did yesterday. Yesterday I was damn near crippled w/ cramps. Still waiting for that elusive flood to come my way, though. Last night I was really wanting McDonald's. I felt like shit, and I just wanted to bury my feelings and my emotional rollercoaster (on the verge of tears all day.) My hormones are taking a beating this week. I told my best friend what my intentions were, and she talked me off the ledge. Like she said, eating like crap only makes the PMS way worse. She's right, and I reluctantly took her advice. Although I couldn't appreciate it last night, in the light of today, I'm sure glad I didn't feel my body w/ processed crap and more fried crap. Also, yesterday is the first day I went completely soda free in quite some time. I don't even really like diet soda...it's a total crutch. I've gotten myself off of the caffeine, but I still let the caffeine free diet have a hold on me. I know I'll still drink it from time to time, but my intention is to have more days without it, than with it. Yay me!
I've already gotten a bunch of cleaning done this morning, and it's only 11. I'm pretty happy w/ the house right now.
12:00 Yay....there is relief :)
10:00 Chocolate smoothie (see recipe)
12:15 2 fried eggs, lots of watermellon
2:00 7 dark choc covered almonds
3:30 1/2 pb sandwich
7:00 Homemade Marinara (first time I've actually made it...I've always bought it, and I must say, it rocked! I will add the recipe.) w/ Barilla Plus Angel Hair pasta (whole wheat), 1/2 plate salad (spinach, spring mix w/ herbs), lite honey mustard dressing, and steamed brocoli. Damn good dinner.
Exercise:
6:30 Played soccer w/ Cal for about 15 mins.
7:30 Took Junior for 1/3 mile
