Lena's corner

and another monday... man this was a long day. having my TOM so i'm a bit grumpy but that won't stop me going to my aerobics class :D no excuses.

ok have to write down what i had today:

1. breakfast: kellogs special k with low fat yogurt
2. low fat probiotic yogurt and 2 small cakes (i know i know...but colleague's birthday... and all... promise to sweat it off this evening)
3. fish and one small slice of white bread. didn't have any other near by.
4. orange and handful of almonds
5. risotto left from yesterday's lunch. its half serving (had enough carbs this morning)

i have some urge to eat something really heavy and greasy and salty... but then i remind that girl in my head: NO WAY!!!!!! I'm not having that discussion again with her lol.

found some great recipes so i'll try some over the next few days, or weeks.

hope you're all having a great day. Lena :D
 
i really feel low today. maybe it's the whether. i woke up nervous as hell and with an enormous headache. then i couldn't buy salad for lunch because i forgot my wallet. and i just feel like crying. maybe its just because of TOM, don't know. hope it will go away. i hate feeling like this. it usually makes me eat all sorts of junk, but i'm not letting myself. anyone has a joke to cheer me up? :)
 
No joke, but just thought I'd tell you that I know exactly how you feel! It sucks to not feel in control of your own emotions. Sigh. Sorry you're having an off day, hon.
 
thanx tx. i also hate it and i have this strange sensation that i'm feeling things too intensely lately. someone might say i'm finaly feeling things the way i should. i used to eat for each emotion. angry-binge, sad-stuff to fill up the void, happy-have dinner with friends or celebrate with some special type of food.

at least i had fun yesterday on aerobics class even if i was so tired afterwards. i can't follow the whole routine. it has 30 minutes of intense cardio and then 30 minutes of strength training for arms, legs and abdomen. i really hope, i would be able to do the entire thing without having to stop and catch my breath or strech a cramp in my leg lol.

now my colleague put barry white on...he seems to lift us up when we're down :)
 
Hey Lena,
I hope you're feeling better today. I know exactly how it is when TOM creeps up, I feel so emotional too, I'm a basketcase.
You are doing so well with the aerobics class it seems like, even though it wears you out. Keep it up!! :)
 
thanx change i'm trying. i do feel better :)

yesterday i went just a bit over my calories since i was at business lunch, and they preordered the same for everyone, so i had pancake with ham and cheese, soup with beans, veel and potatoes (had only 4 pieces of that), greek salad, and then piece of chocolate cake, i couldn't resist lol.

but then i had no dinner, and i'm on salads mostly. i only had small sandwich for breakfast, and will have yogurt for snack.

that aerobics is definitely wearing me out, especially that strength part. my muscles are too weak to endure the whole routine. and my state of physique in general is very poor. i really hope this will change as time goes by.
 
i'm having a great weekend. yesterday i tried on pants which i wore for New Years and they were comfortable. now my thighs are practically swimming in them lol. my waste not so much, but it feels like flags are around my legs. so happy :D
the downside to losing is i have nothing to wear lol. and really not so good financially to buy new things. but i'll figure something out...

I also wanted to put a song here which is really describing me at this moment, andf is really inspirational

SUGABABES: STRONGER

I'll make it through the rainy days
I'll be the one who stands here longer than the rest
When my landscape changes, rearranges
I'll be stronger than i've ever been
No more stillness, more sunlight,
Everything's gonna be alright

I know that there's gonna be a change
Better find your way out of your fear
If you wanna come with me
Then that's the way it's gotta be
I'm all alone and finally
I'm getting stronger
You'll come to see
Just what I can be
I'm getting stronger

Sometimes I feel so down and out
Like emotion that's been captured in a maze
I had my ups and downs
Trials and tribulations,
I overcome it day by day,
Feeling good and almost powerful
A new me, that's what i'm looking for


I didn't know what I had to do
I just knew I was alone
People around me
But they didn't care
So I searched into my soul
I'm not the type of girl that will let them see her cry
It's not my style
I get by
See i'm gonna do this for me

I'm all alone and finally
I'm getting stronger
You'll come to see
Just what I can be
I'm getting stronger
 
congratulations on the clothes not fitting issue.
just think when you get your wages throught you can go on a massive spree =]
i love shopping
 
Yeah, Lena!!! Congratulations on the pants being looser in the legs! That's fantastic!

You'll increase strength wise in the aerobics thing. But at least you know you're pushing yourself!
 
thank you so much girls :)

i'm at work right now and its soooo hectic. i really hate when days are like this, but even that is better than sitting and doing nothing. i started to notice that i have more energy during the day since i started eating the way i do, and i sleep so well, the only problem is getting up in the morning, i really want to sleep more, and i am sleeping 7 to 8 hours, but you can't have everything perfect :)

i have some kind of cold, again. it must be because of this weather and all. but i'm still going to my aerobics class this evening. wouldn't miss it for the world :)

sending hugs from rainy Croatia to you,

Lena
 
hope you sweated it out at aerobics
youre doing so well
had fruit and salad for tea as suggested
wishing you bigger and baggier clothes NIGHT
 
had great workout :) i felt like singing when i finished. i sweated it all out, not just the cold, but every single bit of negativity went out :) i'm really starting to enjoy it.

anyway, for breakfast i had my kellogs special k with low fat yogurt
had two pieces of chocolate with my coffee... :( but hey...life goes on
i'll have my very low fat yogurt for snack
for lunch i'll leftovers from dinner-mixed beans cooked in sauce...very low fat, i only put 1/2 table spoon olive oil
dinner-don't know yet, probabily some kind of salad.

anybody has any idea how to say no when people put things you crave right infront of you???? lol
 
Hi Lena,

It's always hard to say no to yummy things.

I tell people that "it looks delicious!" or "it smells fantastic!", you know, not to lie to myself or others. And then I say, "maybe I'll have some later" or "not at the moment" or "I've eaten already" or "I'm stuffed" or "please put that on the other side" or I pick up whatever it is and move it myself.

It sounds like you don't have a lot of support at work, but I wouldn't be shy about establishing that putting tempting foods right in front of you is inconsiderate!
 
they're just not thinking about it. this particular colleague put these chocolates on each desk (for everyone) and the other one will bring cakes on thursday and will put on plates and bring to everyone. man that's a hard one to deal with. i hope i'll be able to say no :)
 
Wow, still exercising while you feel sick takes a lot of will power, good job. I tend to either just rest or do less time/less intensity. I don't get sick too often but when I do it tends to hit hard XP
 
well i still have the cold... it just doesn't seem to pass. maybe its this change of wheather, one day warm then other day snow. and to make it worse, i have back pain. i must have overdone it on monday, so those two problems are making me not go to my aerobics tonight...probabily lol. if the pain goes down i will go :)

anyway...i did good by taking only one small piece of cake. today i'm having green pasta with veggies from last night for lunch, and for dinner i'll have stew...lots of veggies andbit of beef meet...i'll have one serving or even less, because its for dinner (its lunch for my parents but i'll be at work so..)

anyway...i'm being positive. hopefully this back pain and cold will pass soon!
Lena
 
didn't go to aerobics yesterday b/c of my back pain and i felt soooo sad about it. but the pain is slowly passing so i its for the best.
today i had 2 pieces of brown bread with two slices of cheese and turkey ham with low fat yogurt for breakfast
then i had one apple, probiotic yogurt and one slice of toast (took that one b/c i didn't have any time to prepare lunch yesterday, and i was in no shape for cooking).
i don't know what will i have for lunch yet. but i'll try to eat veggies and maybe piece of chicken breasts. well i'll see :)

hope you're all doing great :D Lena
