A little unhappiness

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

So I was looking at my progress on Spark and realized that currently my goal in March 2010 is to be where I was in March 2009. Which in March 2009, I wanted to lose weight. So I'm not really making progress. I gained 16 pounds in about 5 months and got to my highest weight ever. I realize that most of that was due to me being really unhappy and being really stressed. So, I'm going to stay resolved to be positive not just about my weight but life and not stress over every little thing.

Being Healthy, Wealthy, Wise

Friday, February 12, 2010

So, I'm hoping to treat myself better this year in all ways. I'm exercising every day. From reading sparkpoints articles though, I might want to have a day of rest so that I don't burn myself out. I'm thinking that will be Sunday.
I'm trying to eat healthy. it's not completely healthy. I'm mostly eating Nutrisystem and salad which is not as healthy if I had more fruit and salad. But I'm thinking once the Nutrisystem boxes are lower, I might start cooking. Depends on how much time I have.
I'm keeping my house cleaner. This may seem silly, but a really dark, dirty, cluttered house really makes me sad. It's disgusting, it makes me feel like a failure and it definitely makes me feel more alone, since I'm not the only one who lives in the house. So my goal is to clean every day for 1 hr. I haven't been meeting that goal (which I just started this week) but I can already see a difference. This should also make it so that I don't have to have marathon cleaning sessions on Saturday and Sunday.
I plan to pray more often. I mostly need to pray for strength, wisdom, and patience. I've noticed that yoga has been helping with my relaxation and patience so I'm going to keep that up.

  

Working out

Tuesday, February 09, 2010

i have been working out every morning doing P90X. It's fun doing exercise with other people. It motivates me to wake up and go. Also the exercise seems to really be increasing my energy level. My stress level is also low, which has not happened in a while and I'm really enjoying it.

Nutrisystem food

Saturday, January 10, 2009

I have been on Nutrisystem for 3 months. A lot of it's good, some is okay and there are a few that aren't quite right.

Scrambled Eggs with Cheese - This tasted good. The consistency was some kind of wool that then stuck in my throat. 2 thumbs down.
Egg Frittata - You would think that based on my above thoughts, that I wouldn't like this. I might not have it again, but it was good. I think this is because it had chunks of vegetables in it and not ajust egg, so the consistency wasn't as bad.
40% bran flakes - For bran flakes it's good
Granola cereal - This granola cereal is the bomb. Now, it's not as crazy sweet as some granola, but it is diet food. But it tastes great. Highly recommend.
