rebound

Monday, July 29, 2013

Hey.  It has been a while.  So funny how you can fall out of a daily habit so quickly and how hard it can be to get back to that place.  The short version is that my life changed.  I lost the spots in my routine where I attended to this space and some other stuff - the time just vanished.

It looks like it may well be back.  And that is a sad thing in a lot of ways.  But not all bad.  I definitely lost focus over the last five months.  No reason to get into it, but it happened.  But with the extra time and some extra drive I just might be able to really get back at it this time.

So: 

Quick goal time.  I'll get more into it in a couple days, but here's what I hope to accomplish.  5 months.  75 pounds.  Ambitious, I know, but I'm pretty sure the first 20 will fall right off.  Gained some, you know.  Been bad.

Let's do this.

Breakfast:  Bowl of soup, coffee.

This is my usual homemade vegetable beef soup, though I 'beefed' it up by using 2 lb of ground beef instead of 1 in this batch.  I'm having smaller servings - I bought some pint mason jars and am filling those instead of filling quarter jars 3/4 full or so.  It's not a huge difference, but it is definitely less.

Lunch:  2 jumbo CF eggs cooked in a bit of Kerrygold butter, bowl of spicy beans.

Good stuff.  I cooked up my usual standbys for the freezer this weekend.  Not the best batch ever - a bit too much water.  Still yum.

Dinner:  little Caesars deep dish pepperoni pizza, Ben n Jerry's choc brownie ice cream

Epic fail!

Exercise:  Sluggish start.  Couldn't find my pedometer but pretty sure it was about 1.5 mile walk since it took 35 minutes.  Very creaky to start - I have done nothing the last ten days after coming back from a vacation where I walked 10-15 miles a day.  I'm afraid dietary issues are also contributing inflammation.  Hope to feel better quickly as I get back into the routine.
