Physician, heal thyself

I don't take care of myself.  Like, at all.  Now that Scott's gone, I just eat cereal and sit around.  I need to take better care of myself.

Weight: 140.0 lbs

Feelings: abdominal cramping pain (gluten and milk aren't great for me I found out)

Goal for the week: Finish C25k (I'm on week 8 day 3).  Wake up at 6am every day.  Make more food and not just eat cereal every meal

"Ok poop, you're not the boss of me!"

I have been off my routine for a while.  I went to a conference in San Diego week before last, which I ran once at but not again, and then I didn't run since because my job in Maryland fell through and I was kind of sad.  Whatever, I got over it. I finally went running tonight.  Things were going ok until the last 5 minutes, when I thought I was going to crap my pants.  This was C25K week 7 day 2 and I really wanted to stick with it (I had run 20 min straight already!) so I kept telling my poop that it wasn't in charge.  It worked!

I guess the moral of the story is that there may be crap that is trying to ruin my current life goals, but I can't let it boss me around.

Day -2

Gonna start again.  May 1st.  Barf.  But seriously it made me feel much better.  I only ran 1 time this week because I am kind of depressed.  I hate my job.

Day 46-7/44-5/Reintroduction day 13-4

4/20:
Breakfast: someone brought breakfast casserole
Lunch: last of the chicken chili verde, 1/4 avocado
Dinner: pizza casserole
Snack: a bunch of caramel corn and some waffli  (not compliant)

Exercise: ice skating and C25K week 4 day 3


4/21:
Breakfast: mushroom frittata
Lunch: leftover pizza casserole
Dinner: TJ's beef bulkogi, will roast up some sort of veggie
Snack: banana, almond butter.  Some werther's originals (not compliant, obv)

Exercise: plan week 5 day 1 tonight... we'll see.

Feelings: so sleepy.  Woke up at 3 and couldn't get back to sleep until 5:30.  Blah

Day 45/43/Reintroduction day 12

Wasn't feeling great today.  Didn't eat well.  Like 100% carbs.  I'm also up 3 lbs again

Breakfast: Quaker oat squares.  2 bowls

Lunch: orange.  2 lemon ricotta cookies

Dinner: leftover sweet potato. 2 waffli

Exercise: none

Feelings: Intestines are ROUGH.  Really need to go back on whole 30.  Plan for tomorrow's meals:

Breakfast: mushroom frittata
Lunch: chicken chili verde, 1/4 avocado, orange
Dinner: pizza/spag squash casserole
Snack: Larabar if I need it

My goal is to Whole30 until I leave for the AUA on May 5.  That's 15 days.  Then in San Diego, eat salads/fresh fish-still keep it light.  Then May/June Scott will be gone and I just need to stick with the program during the week.  On weekends we can maybe eat something off plan.  Like one little thing.  Then move in July-need to stay on the program until Norway-I can eat a little bit of fun stuff in Norway, but it's so expensive I think we just need to bring a bunch of food with us anyway.  So, basically I have 3 mo before Norway to eat well/get in shape, then 1 mo after before I start work.  Let's see how this goes...

Day 44/42/Reintroduction day 11

This is for yesterday

Breakfast: almond chia pud with banana

Lunch: chicken chili verde, 1/4 avocado. 

Dinner: roast chicken, roasted sweet potato

Snack: a million cookies
