MoonGoddess's Path

or better yet I will just ramble around online to keep my hands busy....

& at least I don't have the devils food cupcakes in house.
 
lol MG~sounds like ur having an interesting day. I couldnt help but notice that u are from wilmington, i am on the other side of Charlotte (in Bessemer City, town of less than 5000) I hope the weather warms up pretty soon!! Whats the weather suppose to be like there?
 
Never been to Bessemer, but if its on the OTHER side of Charlotte, I know you must be cold there too! Is that part of the mountains?

We are at 48 at the moment & at one point we had a low of 30 tonight. Would be ok, but its all windy. ug. too cold for me.

Their is a big group of people going to take the polar plunge this afternoon. Insanity.

I have a friend in town for the night & we are getting together for a "white trash" party at another guys house. Not sure what it all is going to be about. But its going to be really cold to be out in a yard drinking beer from a keg. He said he was going to make a bonfire, but still COLD. Plus I am not really drinking so I doubt I'll stay long anyway.

Hope your day is going great & you aren't too cold there. Get any of that snow last week?
 
no, its not in the mountains, we are about 2 hours away from there. Bessemer is a very small town, not many people have heard of it, its right beside gastonia (I hate gastonia, so trashy) but yea we got a good bit of that snow :D I was happy, i was sick that day so i wasnt goin to school, and it ended up bein cancelled anyways. I was lucky :D which doesnt happen often, lol :)I have drove through wilmington before (or close to) when i drove to Richmond, VA. Dont really know much about it tho. I think its a big city???
 
Not big enough sometimes, but I kinda like it. Been here since Fall of 95, so I'm wondering about wanting a change. But who knows...

Having a good day today so far. Tracking every calorie & its so much easier at home. I know what is in the Mac & Cheese or whatever. Yesterday I caved & ate the Mac & Cheese at work & I know it was organic, but who knows how many calories it was! That bugs me. It wouldn't be that hard for them to calculate the recipes they are using. I do it at home when I make something. But the cooks just cringe when I mention that it is a goal that we will work on in the future as soon as other things calm down. There is a computer program even that all they have to do is type in the amounts. Anyway I love my days off. Better able to plan out food.

Oh well back to laundry & cleaning the house.. oh what fun, but I know its burning calories! Might even work on a new sewing project or something... all I know is I AM going to work out & I AM going to stay within my calorie range today! :) Which means I WILL lose at least a pound by the end of the week. I am determined...
 
Holey Crizoley.... I just ran finally. Not the whole 35 minutes I was on the treadmill, mainly just walking fast, but I ran/jogged whatever it was every 5 minutes for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. I'm such a wuz that I couldn't / wouldn't do more than that. But it was a start. Feels different than walking that is for sure. I could feel it in my calves. Wonder if I am doing it right? Guess I will know in the morning. Hoping to get in another walk later tonight before I head out to see my friends.
 
Your doing great! Its hard to get on the treadmill and get it started but think of the satisfaction you will feel when it is all said and done! Your time is never wasted so im sure you did your workout just fine!
 
Ever wake up & just know that the day is going to be an eating struggle? I was soooo good at the party last night, no food, no drinks (other than water) & even though I was hungry last night when I got home I skipped the midnight munch.

But now this morning I am starving & craving a Bojangles Egg & Cheese Biscuit. I'm sure its at least 500 calories already, then add the sweet tea!? Not a great way to start the day, but oh so yummy. Nothing else is appealing at the moment. Its cold so I don't want cold cereal or a smoothie. I need to get groceries or I'd make an egg sandwich here & just suck it up. OH well.

The other thing is my neighbor is doing a big nascar party (we are talking 6 kegs, tent, rented widescreen TV- inthe FRONT YARD!!!, big grill to cook a whole hog {so gross}, chickens & something in a shell-oysters?, & the lovely porta potty! all in almost my front yard!). I'm not a fan of racing, just don't get it. But I have invited friends over to hang out & watch all the trucks pile up in the street & listen to the screaming guys. It IS funny. Anyway I usually have all kindsa snacks for when people come over, (chocolate, chips, etc). But today I would like to have something healthy. Not sure how its going to go over with the crew. I know they will be supportive, but I'm sure they would rather do the usual junk food, maybe order a pizza or something. Who knows. Don't know why I feel guilty or embarassed about doing something good for myself, but sometimes I do. I just feel like I am acting different (because I am for my own good) & now I don't quite fit in as much as I did.

Oh well. I'm sure I will enjoy the day & having my friends over, but I just have a funny feeling that with the food & beer & all... today I might be over on calories! Ug. Maybe if I get hungry I should just go look at the pig carcass... that will ruin any appetite I had!

Cinderelly, Salsa & chips are right on target! I also got some fat free refired black beans that I will top with some shredded cheddar & have as a dip. Got grapes too!

Also picked up some pasta, carrots, broccoli, garlic & chicken to fix up to have something a little more nutritious as a meal in case we decide to skip the BBQ mess. Better than ordering a pizza out of convenience.

Also I just picked up some more stuff from the craft store while I was out, so I have plenty to keep me busy this week. No boredom eating to deal with stress, hopefully. Just started a new quilt & picked up a couple new bag patterns I really want to try out too!
 
Ug..

So much for being good. I barely ate, but I drank enough beer. Realized that I hadn't eaten anything at all at the end of the night & popped in a Lean Sub in the microwave so I would have eaten something.

Feeling guilty & my body aches this morning. Don't really feel like making anything to eat or really eating anything, but I know I have to do good today or the scale is not going to be my friend. Up a half a pound this morning. Drinking water like a champ all last night might have something to do with that. I kept waking up uncomfortable & chugging a glass of water. Hopefully a nice breakfast & shower will have me feeling better. I know I don't really feel like working out this morning & my schedule at work is insane today. Working 2-10...so I doubt I'll feel like it at 10pm when I get home tonight.

Eeeek.
 
Well made it to work & then went directly back home. I feel better except my lungs HURT. I feel like I can barely breathe. Guess spending Saturday night beside a campfire & then most of yesterday right between two wasn't the best idea. I have showered, brushed my teeth, gotten the clothes moved into another room & I still smell smoke when I breathe. Its like the smoke is INSIDE me! So frustrating. The steam in the shower seems to help. Guess working out is out of the question today. I'm just getting some sleep & trying to feel better. Seems my lungs need some TLC recovery time. Argh.

Why o why do we do the things we do to our bodies?
 
SO again, probably wont be exercising again tonight.

I have made it to work, but it still is painful to breathe. My voice sounds scratchy & I woke up with a nose bleed. Fun times! Add to it a boss that is itching to get whacked & a headache that makes me want to crawl in a cave & I really have no desire to work out, eat, or anything. Breathing is enough. STILL tasting & smelling smoke & basically nothing else.

If this doesn't improve soon, I'm going to the Dr.

Wow I came in here to give you shit for not posting or joining our walk to Lettuce lake yet - Im so sorry your not well hun - definately go to the doc it doesnt sound good - Im sorry *Big Hugs*
 
I feel much better today. Not back to my normal but I don't smell smoke anymore & my lungs aren't screaming at me everytime I take a breath. So I'm thinking I am back in the game soon. Maybe not today, just some light something to baby myself a touch more, but then I'm working my way up to running very soon.

thanks for all the support. :)
 
non screaming lungs are always a good thing :D a day or so more of babying and pampering might just be what the doctor ordered...
