New Year's Eve 2007

Glad to be on the start to losing some weight and getting back into regular exercise. Thanks for helping me find the motivation and tools to get moving again.

Food:

Sun 30 Dec

Didn't stay much after dinner at the wedding. Got tired and didn't feel like making conversation with the coworkers any more. Came home and watched part of the first Harry Potter movie but couldn't even stay awake to the end. Sigh!

Scale had been going down very nicely the last several days, but took a jump back up today. Probably the relatively salty food at the wedding as I can't even budge my wedding ring this morning.


Food:

7:30 am 1 butterhorn
12:00 pm 3 pc Perkins French toast w/butter and maple syrup. 8 oz OJ, coffee
2:45 pm 1 peppermint Starbuck's biscotti


Exercise:

4:15-5:00 pm Level A ball/band exercise video

Sat 29 Dec

Going to a coworker's wedding this afternoon/evening, so it will be interesting to see how well I can manage healthy eating between the meal and reception. I'm sure I'll have at least one drink, maybe two. Not sure what the meal will be, but it's at Stoney Creek Inn at Cedar Creek and neither bride nor groom are Polish, so probably not chicken soup, chicken and ham.

Shoveled all the snow myself last night so I'm pretty sore today. Don't know what I'll do if we get much more snow without some melt in between as the snowbanks are nearing the limit of my ability to throw any more on top.


Food:

9:15 am 1 c Quaker Oat Squares cereal, 1/2 c skim milk, 6 oz OJ
10:00 am 1 Peeps Holiday Cookie cutout

Will be meeting a couple of old high school friends at Starbucks later this morning. Pat usually looks me up when she comes back to Point over Christmas, and this year she has organized a coffee date with one or two others.

Wed 26 Dec - St. Stephen's Day

Now to try to get back on track while still enjoying a few of the holiday treats responsibly. My new scale was very nice to me this morning, possibly a function of weighing in first thing out of bed in the morning which is usually considered the best time but wasn't an option when I used the scale at work. I'd like to keep it moving in the right direction!

Almost there.....almost there!!! Today will be a last-minute prep day. Only a few little things to buy, fudge and peanut clusters to make, maybe butterhorns today too if time, the ever-present laundry of course, time to exercise would be nice. My Spark People strategy of the week is to exercise entirely in 10-15 min bouts this week; maybe that will be a good idea with the holidays. I can keep my hand weights and resistance band around so when I'm waiting for something to come out of the oven or dryer or can spare just a few minutes, I can sneak in some reps.

Food:

7:40 am 1 c Corn Chex, 1/2 c skim milk, orange
12:00 pm Half grapefruit, vanilla soy shake, 8 oz GF Foods Dark Mayan Chocolate drink (50 cal), 3 pc Kavli

Exercise:

12:00 pm bicep curls, tricep stretches, and lat lifts w/resistance band
4:30 pm 35 min exercise video (10 warmup, 25 cardio)

Last final is in two hours. It was nice to have all this time to study, but it probably would have been better for me had it been yesterday. Today I'm just burned out and really want to be done. The challenge now is to not pass out on the couch, as tempting as it is.

Fri 21 Dec

Woo hoo! Last day of work for the year! And a challenging day for dieting - people have food everywhere you go!

Made it to the grocery store; picked up a bag of baby spinach, a box of clementines (half gone already), a few pears and bananas, and some granola bars and bread. I'm going to study at a coffee shop tonight, and they've got some sandwiches and stuff so I'll probably have some real food there. It's mostly just me shoving food in my face when I remember - like today I had breakfast, but then didn't eat again until after I got back from visiting Jenna in the hospital (because I forgot)... But I'm munching pretty much constantly when I'm home, so it's not a big deal. I honestly just wish this final was sooner so I could get it over with.

Wed 19 Dec

Michael is not feeling well; he slept from about 5 pm through the night last night and had a fever measured around 7:30 pm at 101.7. He doesn't seem to have a fever this morning, but reports feeling very light-headed. I'm going to let him stay home, but insist he spend the morning at least in bed.

Tues 18 Dec

Don't know if you have time to read this, but I sure hope you are finding time to eat with some regularity. I'd hate to see you spend your holiday break sick from lowered resistance. If you don't have stuff in the house, it's worth 45 minutes to get a ride to the grocery store to get some apples, oranges, yogurt, string cheese, cereal, bread, peanut butter, etc, all of which can be grabbed and eaten with no preparation time. I love you and want you to stay healthy and be properly fueled to do your work at your best.

Patrick is back in town but hasn't scheduled any class time and wasn't excited about doing any private work either. He's still pouting because no one signed up for class in August when we were getting ready to leave on vacation.

Mon 17 Dec

Gearing up for the last week before the holidays, and thinking of you regularly. Take care of yourself during finals and make sure you get some good food in you. You'll function more efficiently so it's worth the time investment. Also make sure to get some decent sleep whenever possible; again you'll function better for the investment.

Finals

Yeah, I'm not going to be posting about food for the next week; I'm not even thinking about food. I eat something when I get light headed and can't concentrate on studying anymore. It's really pretty stressful right now.

In other news, though, Katie Nordberg got engaged last night, so we talked on the phone for a while and I congratulated her and stuff. Make sure you notice her ring very loudly if you happen to run into her at Target.

Sun 16 Dec

Hard to believe only one more week til Christmas festivities get underway. I'm taking off from work the whole week of Christmas and probably New Year's Eve too, so after Friday I won't return to the office til 2008! Just like being in school again!

If you have any suggestions of things you'd like to do or things you'd like done for the holidays here, be sure to let me know. I hope Michael and Dad and I will do the cookie baking today, but I'm worried we might not have enough since he wants to take some to his choir party and I've been requested to bring some to work. Who knows, we may need another batch at some point this year.

Cookies baked - huzzah! Dad did all the decorating and didn't even whine!

Haven't exercised since last week Thursday since the weekend was busy, Monday was the surprise dinner at Reichls and then the yucks.

Concert went well, but not sorry to be done for awhile. Looking forward to a day with some time to get things accomplished.
Laundry would be good, and I have some areas I want to get cleaned up, and possibly a start on some Christmas decorating.

Well, after Grandma and some shopping errands, I didn't get home til 4:30. So much for the beef stew I had thought about. Working on laundry, not too sure about the other things I wanted to do. Pretty tired and in a crabby mood.

Thursday

Up late last night finishing a project; reading a paper this morning and then I've got another homework assignment due tomorrow that I get to work on. Joy. Planning on latkes tonight, but the transit exercise will probably be all I get today. If I finish up the homework tonight then maybe I can go to the gym tomorrow afternoon...

By the by, the banana bread Rowan and I made last night is vegan - no butter, no eggs, just tofu! We made it in an 8x8 pan since I don't have loaf pans, so I'm guessing two small slices of that is about equivalent to one normal slice of loaf-pan banana bread. It's really really moist, though, and absolutely delicious.

Thurs 6 Dec

I'm glad St. Nick did good! Sounds like you need some shoring up for the end-of-semester crunch!

Finally made myself shave the Chewbacca legs this morning. I suppose my legs will be colder now....

Had an amazing home visit at the house of a new respite provider this morning/noon. The gentleman is the absolute antithesis of my preconception of truck drivers (his former occupation before retirement). The family lives in the boonies and home-schooled their children, mom handling academics and dad schooling them in carpentry, homebuilding and other practical life skills. They listen to classical music, eat vegetarian, exercise regularly. Cool people! And they keep a supply of homemade cloth slippers by the door so you can comfortably remove your shoes when you come in, and you get to keep the slippers! A friend makes them an ongoing supply.

And I fully intend to watch 300 as soon as possible... after these two homework assignments due tomorrow... and the paper I have to read and write a summary of... and the research I have to finish... and the two finals I need to study for... *sigh*

I have my (sort of) annual physical this morning, so I get to find out if the red yeast rice and fish oil have helped my cholesterol at all. Hopefully I won't need any other nasty tests.

Physical went well. Overall cholesterol is up a bit, but good cholesterol is up and triglycerides are down significantly.

Glad to see you on today. Hope it is a good day for you. Nice to see you eating well and getting some exercise!

Monday

Sorry I haven't been posting. This last week was a literal emotional rollercoaster, and I had absolutely no presence of mind for even homework and research, much less remembering what I ate and when. I'm still not really okay; I'll probably end up going home and sleeping immediately after my advisor meeting today, when I really should be working on homework for both of my classes.

Basically, don't expect much from me for the next like three weeks.

Mon 3 Dec

Hope you got a little rest this weekend and are ready to tackle another week. Christmas is only 3 weeks away, so you will get a longer rest.

Sorry that you're not feeling well emotionally or physically. If there's anything I can do to help or support you, please let me know. I love you and don't like to see you hurting.
