I had to give a urine specimen yesterday on our 43rd wedding anniversary and I accidentally woke up too early
to do it and woke DH
on our W/A!
at 5:50 a.m., so we were UP for the day! Trying to fill a little jar and being built like a woman is the pits!
I got my lab draw done, too. I have a physical in 1.5 weeks. I've not been very good at what I've been eating nor my exercise.
I did so well with yoga/stretching each morning, when the grandsons left, I was eating better, too, but something went wrong.
I ate good today, got 5 fruits/vegetables, but ate a Skinny Cow AND a drumstick, too!
I didn't need them both, I'm lactose intolerant, except for cheddar cheese, it seems, so when I ate the ice cream, I was nauseous. This happened/happens with yogurt, too. Forget milk. It plain makes me sick.
I'm ALSO trying to figure out NEW breakfast ideas! I was using yogurt, but got some bad ones, they tasted terrible, so a mouthful was all I could muster. Today, I ate a protein bar with 10 grams of protein in it with PB on top of it. I want to start using oatmeal with applesauce stirred in with my Optifiber stirred in. I wouldn't mind eggs, any way you fix them. I would love to try out turkey sausage, turkey bacon, with eggs, too, find some whole wheat toaster waffles, so I can have an egg with them. I'm in the "mood" for O. J., too. I used to fix poached eggs on toast and soft-boiled eggs on toast. The most decadent breakfast I'd fix, when I was in my 20's when the kids were at home was a crumpet with cream cheese LOADED with strawberry jam on top and OH YUMMY! The kids and I'd love those.
So I need to come up with some different choices for breakfasts, to get my protein, since I'm nixing yogurt due to the lactose intolerance. I know healthier muffins are good with scrambled eggs. Ham is 1 choice, but not my fav. I love cream of wheat, farina, grits, cereals and Carnation Instant Breakfast, too. Now, if I can get my breakfast choices into good choices AND make myself do yoga/stretching in the a.m., I could start my days out better, filled up healthy and moving healthy so my days will go better. Evenings are my "tough" time, when I emotionally eat, but not nightly. It depends on what's going on in my life, if I do it or not.
Journal writing helps, writing letters, crochet, and computer things, too. Thanks for "listening" to me. It helps to type and think as I re-read and type, too. Just knowing someone else might be reading this, makes me feel more accountable to someone else and more motivated to doing the right choices for my body, brain, and emotions, too. Everything's connected to everything else. Sorry this is so long! Got long-winded, I guess.
