Good to see you laughing again Jaymie 
Well I certainly don't feel like I'm "Going strong". I feel like I'm fighting to keep my fitness these days. I feel....well... lol...lopsided in the gym or something. I just feel funny in my own skin. Not sure if thats the experimenting with the diet so much, lack of intense strength training or time of month. Speaking of which, I am 4 days late-now-before some of you go "ohhhh 4 days late huh?? *wink wink*" it means NOTHING of the sort, my husband is snipped it could mean either its dang HOT and my body is like ?????, or its just one of those random months where I'm not regular, or my body fat is temporarily at a low enough level. I doubt that tho, I feel rather flabby lately.
Anyway here is today: not so exciting
breakfast: serving oatmeal, 2 T natty butter
gym: 3300 yds (132 laps) swim workout
lunch: 4 c romaine lettuce, chicken breast, homemade dressing: 2 T flax, 1T smart balance omega oil, 1t minced garlic, 2T balsamic vinegar, 1t parm cheese all blended
snack: almonds
dinner: I dunno yet.

Hey you guys are NOT NICE.
SHAME on you!
Do you know how freaking out of my MIND I would be if I had another kid? omigosh. just sign me up for the freak ward now baby (whoops, no pun intended lol)
I finished my day with a blazing 5 mile run at 6.5. It was great. I always do great the second workout if I do 2 in a day..which is very infrequent. only I have been drinking SO much water I had to break twice to pee. LOL

Hi ok here is something that doesn't make a ton of sense to me. I spent my day with my "job" being to eat. I determined this morning to move forward and eat more so I went from 1300 (or less lately) to 1500 today. I just evened out my food every 3 hours trying to hit 300 each time. SO I was pretty ok, I didn't feel OVERly full or anything till dinner when dinner seemed to come so soon after snack (still 3 hours but I was still very full). I ate it anyway, when I was supposed to and I was stuffed. Ok so now it is 2 hours later and my stomach is actually GROWLING. not the "I'm so uncomfortable and trying to digest stuff" growl but its truly hungry? I feel hungry. That is sooooo strange. I didn't even workout today. I sat on my booty. So I just drank 16 oz of water...its still growling. wow.
well eat sumthin!!
...like..DUH!!!
LMFAO!
You're gonna kick my ass....lol....
oh remember this "just eat".....AAAHH!!!!
just eat Katie !!
haha!
Well, hope you're having a good day tho and eat you sumthin good girlie! You deserve it !!
hey , lemme tell ya sumthing, when I was working out religiously and all, I was always being told "as much as you work out, you should eat more, or you could probably eat anything you wanted!"
and I was like.....yeah,yeah,yeah....in one ear and out the other....
sound familiar???
Well, its TRUE dammit!
Now that I haven't done ANYTHING for a week, I realize how much energy it really does take to do what I WAS doing..and might never be able to do again. So that's kinda sad....I liked rough-housing my body and pushing it to the limits....why couldn't it continue!!!????!!!
I miss it ..really i do...and you know.. you should take care of that good body of yours
Its getting you around, its keeping you happy and healthy, its beautiful
Take things easy , be thankful you can do the things you can do, because one day you will not be able to do these things, and that is just life
But I've larned with these health problems of mine, that I need to get my message across to the people who need to hear it. And I hope you get what I am talking about. Because Life is Precious, and your body is your Temple, take very good care of yourself, and do not think you are made of mortar, this human body is not indestructable, and there are alot of organs in there..........take care Sparrow,
from the girl with the internal pain who is now enlightened on life (again!)....lol...
-Jaymie
*life is full of enlightenment and I am glad for the problems I have been faced with*
-luv ya! hows that training going!?!

Go for a small snack, maybe some cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg (sans yolk if you like ). This whole process is to learn to listen to your body and respond with what it needs. Remember to go easy on yourself. Keep up the good work!

Well She I can't really go by that since my body is still living by starvation mode standards. I'm rarely hungry but if I don't eat when I'm not hungry I'll only end up eating like 500 calories. I have to force myself to the higher numbers if I want to get out of this rut and reset my metabolism. I'm only making 1300-1500 cals as it is and exercising 700-1000 cals worth!

Hi,
What a weekend. its been so busy. The memorial was hard to get through, as expected but the upside of it was seeing a lot of family I hadn't seen for years that live on the east coast. Sad that stuff like this has to be the springboard to get that to happen
I ate terrible yesterday. It started well but finished badly with ice cream and pizza with lunchmeat and salads being lunch (salty!). I didn't weigh this morning. BUT finally "started" 7 days late...so thats a relief. Its almost like I can just feel the water weight completely shift the very moment that happens. I have had lots of high salt stuff, which isn't smart of me but I'm trying to stay somewhat in bounds. Today we went out to Mexican for lunch. How can people regularly eat that stuff. Its so darn salty.
For the memorial I wore my trendy dressy pants with black block healed shoes and a ribbed 3/4 sleeved black form fitting shirt and wide black and silver belt. This has in the past been my "skinny" outfit, and although a tad tighter than normal, I fit into it and got a "ohmigosh, you are HOT" from my husband and cool cousin. so that made me feel more confident in my sorrow! Today someone at church asked if I'd lost weight. crazy.
The cafe went WILD today. I served kiwi and mango smoothies along with the regular coffee blended drinks. I had samples out which drew the masses. It was pretty cool...but really busy and tiring.
I just got up from a nap after that big mexican food lunch. ugh.
This week I'm shooting for the goal of 1500 cals (more if physically possible) and just going for it. I'm going to keep my training tough and just see what happens. The 2 days I actually did it this week (the cals) I really actually felt like they were making a difference. It seemed to feel like my system was sped up a little more. or could have been my imagination I am going to incorporate a little more weights in the program. its necessary and I need the core strength from what I know how to do. I want to do more compound exercises.
Anyway, I do like Sundays since they feel like a new slate for the week. Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.
