Whole30: Day 3

Holy shit, I'm tired.  Really.  Tired.  

I don't think I've felt this exhausted since I was pregnant.  Last night I went to bed at 8:45 and I woke up at almost 3 a.m. and couldn't fall asleep again.  My mind was racing. I only woke up because I had the urgent need to pee, and then I just stared at the darkness for two hours trying to go back to sleep.  It was not fun.

I googled some of the things others have tried and supplementing with magnesium seems to help.  I have some of that in my medicine cabinet so I plan to take it tonight and hopefully catch a full 8 hours of sleep.

My meals are delicious.  I had my omelette for breakfast, a salad for lunch with loads of veggies; tomato, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, and vinaigrette dressing.  Tonight's dinner was turkey meatballs and roasted cherry tomatoes.  It was amazing.  I'm loving that my taste buds are better now.  It's like I've cleansed my palette.  

I took Daley for a walk after dinner and it was super hot and humid.  I got a mile in and felt like I was just too tired to keep going.  We turned around and I made it home but I immediately took a shower and got ready for bed.  

I don't think I can keep my eyes open any longer. 

Day 4, I'm ready for you!

My Least Favorite Exercises....(But They Work!)

I've been working out consistently again.  This week I've hit the gym four days and I committed to five.  Tomorrow's Total Body session at Forever Fit will meet that goal. Yesterday was Leg Day and we did so many squats and lunges that my body is still aching today.  I'm loving the burn, baby! As I was thinking about ways to amp up my workout routines, I started a running list in my head of my least favorite exercises.  I always cringe when I have to do these, but the truth is, they work.   Wall sit Stand with your back against a wall and bend your knees to about a 90-degree angle. Hold this stance, with abs tight, for up to a minute. Repeat.  Want more of a challenge?  Hold a medicine ball in your lap while you "sit." ( Or, hold a glass of wine in each hand. Kidding.  Maybe. ) Triceps Dips Start by sitting on a sturdy chair. Slide off the edge of the seat and support your weight with your hands. Bend your elbows to slowly lower your body

Fit and Fabulous

I know...I've been MIA for awhile.  So sorry, folks.  My life has been insanely chaotic since before the New Year. The first week of January was awful.  I was sick with a terrible cold/flu thing, on top of getting my usual migraine during "that time of the month" and it was brutal.  I was so exhausted and had the fever and chills that go along with the winter crud.  I was so bummed because I had set a goal to run every day and was taken out of the game for five days. Once I was well enough I started running again.  January is so cold in Wisconsin so I didn't dare try to do this outside but I managed to run three days per week at the gym. Then at the beginning of February I was benched once again.  It turns out I had a kidney stone, 8 mm, and I needed to have an ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy to remove it.  I missed six days of work, and couldn't exercise for two weeks due to the stent that was placed to prevent blockage in the ureter..  I'm not even su

Losing My Hind

Weight loss.  Just typing those two words makes me cringe a little.  For so many years I've been struggling with my weight and body image.  I feel uncomfortable when I look at pictures of myself that were taken in the last decade.  I see how heavy I was and it triggers emotions I'd rather not deal with. I wasn't always fat.  Before get bent out of shape about me using that word, hear me out.  I wasn't ever thin, either.  At least not by today's standards.  I was a tomboy as a child and spent a lot of time playing outside with neighborhood friends.  We were very active.  Running in the back yard, riding bikes, playing games and chasing each other through our 'hood were our favorite activities.  But even then I had a sturdy build.   It would be easy to blame my mother's cooking for my inability to be thin.  She grew up on a farm and my grandmother taught her all the farm staples, those recipes for meat and potatoes where every meal contained butte
