Yesterday was a struggle, but fortunately we were snowed
in. There is no junk food to be
had in the house. If there was, I
may have lost my will power. This
is TMI, but Aunt Flo came to visit with her bags stuffed packed with swelling,
cramps, thigh pains, and fatigue.
I easily could have eaten who knows how much chocolate. I’m super relieved it happened on a
weekend considering my classroom is chalk full of candy, sweets, and
Oreos. It could have been
disastrous.
I was supposed to do Body Pump yesterday, but I just wasn’t
feeling it. I would have walked on
a treadmill, if we had one. We are
looking into buying one in the next few months. We want to finish our basement, but that’s going to be
forever before that project gets done.
We’ve some pre-construction stuff that needs to get done first, such as
a radon system and a 100 amp service panel. Our dumbass contractor put in a 200 amp service that is
completely overloaded. He should
have put in a second panel in the first place. I digress, again.
So, when we do buy a treadmill I want to put it in the family room. We don’t entertain much here in
Virginia, so it’s not that big of a deal.
Besides, even if we did, I’m pretty sure no one would care in the first
place. Joe hates the idea,
although he says he doesn’t know where he wants to put one. I think it’s a great idea to put it in
the living room because I could be doing my Beachbody workouts while he is on
the treadmill. Besides, he’ll get
sick of looking at it in there, so the basement will get started sooner than
later J.
I made gluten free pancakes yesterday morning. I used a GF flour that seemed a little
off. They sort of smelled
weird. I’ll try a different flour
next time. It called for honey as
the sweetener which was better than using table sugar or Splenda in my
opinion. We don’t have sugar
anymore in the house, but we still have Splenda. I know it’s all natural and stuff, but I don’t care that
much for it. I also substituted
the vegetable oil with cranberry juice.
I had a bottle in the liquor cabinet. We drizzled honey on top with fresh fruit. The kids liked them, but Joe thought
they tasted weird. Like I said,
I’ll try a different brand of GF next time.

8 a.m. breakfast:
pancakes with a bit of honey, 1 cup of my u/s vanilla almond milk,
fresh
pineapple chunks.
12:30 p.m. lunch:
homemade vegetable soup, tortilla chips (Food That Tastes Good
brand) ------ I definitely overate on the chips. I usually measure
out servings for the sake of cost.
We don’t go through as much
food if we measure it out.
It’s also good so you don’t overeat. I
wasn’t feeling it yesterday with the PMS and some family drama.
Funny how stress can attempt to throw me off my plan. Aha, that
was another cause for my discontent yesterday.
4:30 p.m. snack:
orange
6:30 p.m.
dinner: 2 skinless chicken
thighs baked, seasoned with balsamic vinegar.
I used a recipe from FB yesterday.
It wasn’t great, the chicken
was missing something. 1
spinach patty, steamed carrots, quinoa
and kale, and a garden salad with my GF, SF, 0 calorie dressing
from Walden Farms.
9:30 snack: I
had no hunger, but I grabbed a handful of almonds when I went
upstairs to read. I was
still crabby from the day. Food is
definitely my
go-to comforter. I really
need to find something to replace that
automatic response when I’m upset.
This is definitely something that is
totally engrained in my head.
I read the Blood Sugar Solution for an hour last night and
marked a few things to share on this blog. I’ll share what I learned in a different post later on.
