First off, the perfectionist in me is being driven bat shit crazy by the fact that my new exercise tickers are not transparent so they have that hideous white border around the tickers. UGH. I always make them transparent and they usually work but not this time. Oh well, it’s a good thing to let go and not worry about it, must not stress over stupid things.
Secondly, yesterday being the first day of the challenge did not go quite as planned. I wanted to eat everything in sight. I pretty much cleared out my pantry. No matter what I ate, I was hungry for more. Absolutely zero control and willpower. Thank you PMS! I hate being off the pill, I feel awful, I'm hormonal, crazy mood swings and everything but it's a necessary evil since I would like to get pregnant.
Today I had a much better eating day until I let a sad/bad mood ruin it and I had frozen french fries with dinner. Not just one portion either, it was excessive but I'm letting it go, can't change it now.
I did wake up and exercise this morning. I didn't wake up and exercise at all last week so I'm glad I'm back on track with that this week. I wanted to walk tonight when I got home from work since Marc is gone at a bartending course this week at night but I felt light headed and nauseous so I decided to skip it. Bad idea to go out walking when Marc isn't home so no one could come pick me up if I felt worse.
Bottom line is that i need to stop wanting to eat everything in sight. I hope that urge stops soon because it's been over a week now and I have zero willpower.
Since I've been bashing myself in this post I'm going to end on a positive note. I've been making an effort to eat more veggies. When my band was tighter I had to give up a lot of my favorites but with less fill now I can eat them again. Asparagus, fiddleheads, squash, zucchini. They are all so yummy! I have even been cooking veggies for my lunches at work. Yum Yum! I could eat fiddleheads everyday but sadly they are quickly moving out of season. So I'm proud of myself for eating more veggies and trying to focus less on carb-y snack-y stuff. I think I'm going to try brussel sprouts this week when I go grocery shopping. I think I'll be able to eat them, especially if I can manage asparagus. Maybe broccoli too, I haven't had that since Christmas and it made me sick then. Okay, I'm off to watch more Sex and the City, one advantage to Marc not being home! I'm also going to brush my teeth so I don't eat anymore tonight.

I'm working hard on trying to get more veggies/fruits in too. I'm aiming for the 5 recommended servings per day and while I'm not quite there yet, I am getting closer. I had 2 fruit servings and 1.5 veggie servings today for a total of 3.5. : ) Great job on getting your exercise in today!! Keep up the good work and enjoy Sex in the City.
I love Sex and the City. I got the big boxed set when it first came out and I watched every season in about 4 days. (Obsessed much?)
I love veggies, I can't imagine not being able to eat them. :( Hope you stay loose enough to enjoy them!
I had to google fiddlehead. I never heard of them! Interesting, now I have to try them. Where does one shop for fiddleheads?
I had never heard of fiddleheads either! Maybe I can't get them here?
It's tough when the hormones strike to stay focused. You're doing great though! Just keep fighting the good fight.
WHAT in the WORLD is a fiddle head? Is that the alien looking green stuff on the plate?
Do you need a tiny fill maybe? What makes my PMS even worse is that I want all of that, but then try to eat it and CAN'T. Even a bite. Talk about being a raging hungry bitch. That's me when I'm PMSing. I hate PMS. Really.
I feel your pain, hang in there.
OK i am with the others...what is a fiddlehead and where do you get them and how do u cook/eat them.......
Veggies are good and so are you keep up the good work.
