Perpetual Healthy Eating and Fitness Rant & Rave thread

[merigayle]

1 cup? yeah, not good.

Well, if you want his separate from jack ass friend, move him now, LOL.

So I asked about the Thomas the Train shirt being turned inside out and she said it was distracting and the other kids were very distracted by it, blah blah blah, that it was not offensive, just too distracting for the other children.  I really do not have any other options and there is a lot of positives about where she is at right now, but this director is an old hippy and sometimes i just think she has totally lost her marbles and has no idea what she is talking about. I am going to call the Waldorf Academy and Montessori places today and talk to them. Waldorf would not be until the fall unfortunately and i am not sure the new Montessori school has financial aid. Her one friend went to a new preschool, but i do not want to put her there for a year THEN move her again, that is just too much for a wee one, imo. Ugh.

[debbatx]

He is separated right now - his jackass friend is in the class he wants to move to.  But he also loves the teacher in that class (the one with his friend), I love the teacher in that class, and I just don't know the other 3-year teacher as well. I'm sure she's great, I just don't know her as well. Gah.

And that's just stupid about the shirt.

I'm totally at a loss about lunch right now. Oh well.

[merigayle]

i ate a lot of buttered and salted plain pasta when pregnant

[debbatx]

Trying to maintain my weight, though!

portion control. but yeah, not very filling when you hav 3/4 cup

[debbatx]

That's my point. I need stuff that's filling, but low-point. Veggies, right now, sound disgusting. I guess I can eat apples all day long.

[merigayle]

i have a bag of honeycrisps next to my desk that i am eating any time i am hungry.

[debbatx]

I may have to do that. One of the guys I work with brought back Pei Wei for his lunch today. I almost tackled him for it.

[cgraz]

Pei Wei is always disappointing to me...never quite as good as I wish it was. So tell yourself that it wouldn't have been good enough to make it worthwhile! I know you want to be healthy and conscientious, but remember that you're growing another human in there and it's ok if you do what you need to, to feel full and satisfied and cope with nausea, etc. Don't be too hard on yourself in terms of pressure to diet.

Weigh-in Friday for me, and no change. I feel like the carb-loading of last week kept me from losing, but at least I'm level. And clothes seem to fit differently this week, like even with no change, things are redistributing. Maybe the yoga and running are finally doing something. 

[merigayle]

I ate at Pei Wei once at a race in Raleigh and it was disgusting. Not one of the four of us liked our meals. Blech.

I got my TM slog done. Now time to pick up DD for a play date.

[debbatx]

Oh, I know I'd regret it (and I didn't have any), but it just *smelled* so good.

Thanks for the lift, cgraz. I'm just trying to be careful because I'm obese as it is, so gaining too much is a bad idea, even if all I want to eat is junk right now.

I am starving today! I don't know what's wrong with me! 

[diablita]

me too, RA.  PMS here

[Mom of Scooby]

I am starving today! I don't know what's wrong with me! 

I was starving all week

[Bolloxd]

AF has kicked my butt the past day or so.  No energy at all.  The kids were both up at 4 am this morning so none of us got much sleep.  We spent the morning over at my Dad's place while DH worked on his computer again.  He's beyond paranoid that someone is watching all he does online and is monitoring his cell phone.  We've had to calm him down a lot the last few days.    I did some cleaning up over there and set him straight on a few things, in a direct daughterly way.

Poor eating today.  I'm probably gonna pay for it next chance I get to run.  We did move some furniture around today as some exercise.

My mind has gone blank...must be bed time.

[Run Amok]

I am a bottomless pit. I had to show two horses 60 miles apart today. Then I did a one hour barre class. I ate a good breakfast but ran out of time for lunch. Had more than enough dinner. Plus beer. Still starving. Bleah. I blame the running.

[merigayle]

AF has been a real bitch to me lately too. Making up for all that time i did not have a period! Still crampy yesterday on CD5. Lovely, right? Cramps were worst on day 3.

Going to try to sneak a run in. I made DD a choc cake the other day per her request, healthy, but still chocolate cake. I can't stop taking little tastes off of it  oh well.

My husband has run a few days in the past week and is now planning races he wants to run. He does this all the time, signs up for races, never goes, and eats the entry fee, and wants to know why i am annoyed! Especially since he suggested i miss a race i am already commited to and run every year as a pacer to run a race he wants to run. 

[merigayle]

I ran and walked on the TM for three episodes of the office, lol

[triciaflower]

I used to love Pei Wei. I think they and many other chains have gone downhill. My guess is their quality is suffering because of their quest to save money.

[debbatx]

Holy crap, I am SO tired this morning. My weight is back down a bit (which is good, after the last week or so), but Reid has been waking up between 5:30 and 6 for the last 5 days, and it's killing me. I could go back to bed right now.

I'm seriously tempted to call in sick on Wednesday so I can have a day to sleep and get some stuff done around the house and then go to the pumpkin painting party at Reid's daycare, but I don't think my conscience will let me do that. Damn that responsibility gene.
