Before After

Good decisions.

Good decisions.

Yes that is what my post is about today.  Good healthy decisions.  First of all TOM is here as of yesterday and boy it hurts!  Yesterday I was super crampy as well as super tierd especially around 3 oclock.  I got up to go to the vending machine.. (bad lori) I needed something with some sugar in it to help keep me awake.  Standing at the vending machine I made a good choice and choose the non salty trail mix which contained peanuts, shellless sunflower seeds, and raisins.  I was going to choose something chocolaty for the sugar and to ease my TOM pains.  SOOO that was good decision #1 of the day!

I played volleyball for 1.5 hours last night, so day 3 of the challenge is done.  WOOOOHOOOOO
After volleyball we hit the grocerystore.  I forgot it was tom for me and was hurting through out the grocery store.  It felt like someone punched me in the stomach.  And the BF goes well you said you had cramps earlier today.. DUHHHHHHHHH I totally forgot it was TOM lol. 

So at the grocery store I made a deal with the BF. hehehe  For everything non healthy he gets, we have to get something we normally get but in a healthy version.  This actually worked out well.  SO he got pop tarts.  I made him get whole wheat pasta.  He got some candyish cereal I made him get whole grain Tostitos instead of the normal ones.  He got something else.  I made him get whole grain bread.  He even opted to get his tropicana orange aid in a fat free sodium free kind instead of the normal kind.  I even was able to pick up some tilipa for us for dinner some night.
I figure with the little game like that we can prevent diabetes from hitting him strong, we both would be eating better together, and it will help me attain the goals I want for myself. 

After the grocery store we got home around 8pm which was too late to make a whole big dinner.  So I made myself a provalone cheese and ham sandwhich on the whole weat bread.. It was sooo yummy.  and I was full but not over stuffed which is great.  I ended up going to bed right after survivor due to not feeling well and now here I am today.

I'm feeling a bit better still alittle crampy.  It's downpouring rain here and will be for the next few days.  I do not know yet how I'm going to get my cardio in due to it being nasty out.  But I'll figure something out.  Maybe jump rope for 10 mins each day.  I can do that in my garage.  Hmmm actually that sounds like a great plan.  TGIF! I have so much school work and web work I have to catch up on this weekend, my class ends on SUnday so I need to have everything in by then.  OK going to check up on all of you know.  Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hey there

I'm in the same crampy boat as you.  I take bc pills, and that helps tremendously, but it still hurts every once in a while.  Not near as bad as it used to though. 

I like the little game you played.  Cute.  Glad it worked. 

No, I am not on spark people.  I found that picture when I googled "motivational quotes" I've heard Spark People, and I started an account last year but never did anything with it.  EP is such a warm community, I can't imagine being anywhere else.  (or imagine having the time for that matter)

Hope you have a great weekend, and get everything done.

Take care. 

Great game

I like the way you think!

Well done on the exercise today!

Good Decisions!!!

I really liked all the great stuff you just wrote!!!  You go girlfriend!!!

I hope you feel better today.  10 mins. of jumping rope sounds like a good plan, or you can just walk in place for 10 mins.

Hope you get everything done that you have to for the weekend.  Sounds like you are going to be extra busy.

Feel Better Soon,

Love, Laura.
