coached

I got my first week of workouts from my coach. ahhhhh. perfect timing as i was starting to really slip away from the exercise. i love have a written assigned workout. the problem is i get anal about it and dare i deviate just a bit it sends me over the edge. need to work on that.

today was just a run.

problem is my schedule, i now need to really make sure i make time for gym btw all the girls activities. today i had to go to the gym with just one of my girls, she was NOT happy she had to go without her sister. but i put my foot down. ok, i bribed her with a new toy and munchkins but i got there !

on top of the training starting. we are in the midst of att. reviews, inspections and appraisals. add to the fact that we will have to pack up and move....holy cannoli ??? i will need to schedule my days to the minute.

i probably do more when under the pressure, just need to remember that taking a few minutes and some deep breathing will help. also i REALLY want a date with hubby. and I don't mean some quick dinner out. i want a full day. i want to go the gym with him, have a lunch, watch a movie, and then maybe even dinner.

plus i gotta be on top of food and make sure i have healthy stuff on hand so i don't start falling back on crap. i might do peapod so i don't have to stress about getting to the supermarket with my free hour sans kids.

disgust

no working out for a good week

today's food intake:
oatmeal
bacon on a roll
buttercrunch cookies
more buttercrunch cookies
friendly's chicken crispy wrap
kid size butterfinger sundae
and folks i don't think i am done as it is only 8pm

Need to get my act together and fast.

in the midst of buying new house selling old, inspections all happening next week.

tons of snow, and i hear more to come

candida ? thoughts ? knowledge ? it seems to be something that is more of a holistic dx. not many medical docs talk about it, but nutritionists do, many folks who believe in food intolerances and such.

need a date with my hubby

most random point - if you have kids and watch good luck charlie, i love the actress who plays the mom. i think she is hysterical.

snow

snow, tons of it

kids fighting, tons of it

fits, tons of them

hurt foot while having my own fit

exercise, NONE of it

excited to go shovel the snow b/c that is exercise

have you ever heard of being nut intolerance, meaning you are not allergic, but you might be getting eczema from them ????

things i look forward to buying, wetsuit, aerobars

i need ....

to work out

cold

it wsa 6 degrees out this am ??

I have not exercised in a while. I need to.

My brunch went well.

I made these energy bars and they were awesome. i used cashew nut butter instead of PB and pumpkin seeds instead of sesame.

1 cup honey

1 cup peanut butter, all natural or 1 cup your favorite nut butter

1 cup carob powder

1 cup toasted sesame seeds

1 cup roasted sunflower seeds

1/2 cup raisins

Toast sesame seeds and sunflower seeds until fragrant, set aside.

2 Warm honey until it reaches a mixable consistency, and slowly mix in peanut butter until it is well incorporated.

3 Fold in remaining ingredients.

4 Press entire mixture into a 8x8-inch pan.

5 Chill in the fridge for at least an hour or up to 1 month or freeze!

I start working with a coach feb 1. i think that is why i have been slacking a bit, i feel like i can't slack after feb 1. 


feeling lazy


I have seen plenty of crazy folks outside running. i just don't have it in me. nope i don't. i just don't. 

anxiety

currently we have a bunch of stress and anxiety and it seems to be all in my arms. seriously my arms feel like jittery ??? maybe i should take advantage and get in the pool.

haven't been to gym, my little one got the bug. prepping for a brunch this sunday, entertaining sends me into a tizzy. i am simply not cut out for it. but that is what i love about life, you take something that makes you uncomfortable and you do it and then you feel accomplished.

your drug of choice

i have a raging sinus headache. the strange part is i can breath fine, i thought if you had a sinus headache you would be congested - but that is not the case. Any time I have to dip my head it pounds. Luckily I was cranky enough that i knew i needed my drug- running. i didn't care, i knew it would make me feel better. I did feel better, 40 minutes. I was smiling. I love it. Granted my head still hurts but at least now I don't mind resting as I know my body got its drug in it.

maybe the headache is from stress, being that we are in the midst of negotiating selling our house as well as starting to make bid on new house.

I have been reading how Regina over at Chui on this has been heart rate training, and i am so intrigued. i have been wearing my monitor for all my workouts. I am going to start taking notes and figuring it all out. I am sure once I start working with my coach this will come in handy to already know some figures. I also am officially certified to teach spin. wahoo. of course who knows when i will get to actually put it to use for money but it is a step in the right direction.

headache is raging
