After waking up and feeling already more sore than I previously wrote about, i’ll be honest as to say that I didn’t think today was going to happen as for my yoga class. But, against my previously known patterns, I went. And it felt wonderful. Sure, at the beginning I could feel the work I did yesterday as I went through the flow sequence but with each breath I took, it came to a point in the middle where I was in cobra and the flush of endorphins and blood rushing freely through my veins hit. As food went, my best friend and I, along with her boy, went to a vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Alphabet City. Vegan Hot Buffalo Burger, uh yes please and thank you. After we went to a vegan ice cream place that just made tonight full of delicious vegan food. Tomorrow I’m sticking to completely unprocessed and fresh fruits and vegetables sans any treats but I can’t say tonight’s delicacies weren’t so worth it. I’m truly doing my best as to not focus on my single state in a negative mindset but I must confess it’s not easy when around and hearing of couples constantly. I know i’m not ready to be in a committed relationship because i’m not at the point where I love myself enough to be able to accept another feeling so themselves towards me but seeing it, being the third wheel… it’s hard. But i’ll smile through it because I know i’ll get there and it’ll be worth this wait period. I’m not looking nor waiting for just anyone. Now, it’s time for me to go to bed seeing as i’m waking up at 6AM for a 7AM yoga class. Good night lovely.
N and I like to go to museums. When we get home we always complain about having “museum feet” because we stood all day and walked in small spurts.
Since I’m supposed to avoid activities that hurt or bother my hip, I’ve been standing almost all day all week. Museum feet has become my new normal. My heels ache by the end of the day. I would love to just sit down on a nice comfy chair and read.
I’ve noticed some funny things while standing. Mijo fell asleep in the car yesterday, so I stood outside of the car and watched as people tried to figure out why I was reading a book with my door open. At dinner, when everyone is sitting around and talking, I will stand up behind my chair and keep talking.
Supposedly, we (humans) were not meant to sit most of the day. It’s only in the last few generations that we began to sit all day. Sitting has gotten press for being bad for our health. So technically standing should lead to some long term benefits for me.
When I first thought about doing my work standing it seemed foreign to me, but after looking it up a bit, it seems to have growing interest (or perhaps this is just proof that you can find groups of people interested in anything online). According to the article, Philip Roth and Donald Rumsfeld both stand up to work.
So what do you think? Can you imagine standing up all day to work? Do you know someone that does? Or do you already do so?
I think I’m going to have to work on coming up with different strategies to keep myself active while standing to work (e.g. stand on one foot, then the other, walk in place). I also need to invest in a stand-up desk so that it is at the right level. Ah, my new normal is going to take some adjusting.
The New England Journal of Medicine has conducted a study that suggests that eating potato chips might be directly related to obesity.
By analyzing the eating and exercise habits of 120,877 people over many years, doctors have concluded that downing a whole bag of potato chips makes you fat faster than just about anything else, ice cream and soda included.
Also in the study, we learn that on average, people who quit smoking gain five pounds every four years after quitting. Commenting on the study, obesity expert Dr. F. Xavier Pi-Sunyer said, “[potato chips are] very tasty and have a very good texture. People generally don’t take one or two chips. They have a whole bag.”
Just for shits and giggles, here FDA Commissioner’s advice: “Just eat a God damned vegetable.” Thanks to The Onion for that.
At the rate I’m losing weight I’m beginning to suspect I have some kind of parasite slowly killing me. This kind of weight loss is not in any way natural.
If I do in fact have worms I’ll be the proud father of parasitic children!
So I was a little late updating today and I am updating from my phone right now. Anyway, this morning I had a small bowl of Special K cereal with Red Berries (my favourite!)
Lunch was 4 delicious Morning Star Chik’n Nuggets and a small salad on the side with Brianna’s Honey Dijon Mustard.
Had a little snack of a sharp cheddar cheese stick.
Dinner was some delicious Tomato and Basil soup.
I made some chocolate chip cookies for a friend so of course I snuck in a little bite of the dough. Just a little on though! I also had a beer tonight.
Anyway, I will be better tomorrow!
I feel like im just going to put total cals from now own- total for today- 1285 :)
And bootcamp work out for outtake. It was so rough today I was so slow because I was tired and sore. But tommorrow is a new day AND since im going out after work I really am hoping to get to the gym in the morning. Its funny I can wake up for 6 am bootcamp but I cant get to the gym at 7 am.
Kinda nervous for this weekend, I usually binge eat when I drink so my plan is eat healthy all day, drink slow, and focus on not doing that. Also I will try to not drink as much since well its horrible for weight loss, but its one of my best friends birthdays tommorrow night then the next night is another best friends house warming party an hour away.
Will let you all know how it goes, mabye I can find a healthy way for this weekend!
