HealthyBabs's Journal, 04 December 2010

So.......... I feel like I am off the rails....no weight loss all month, exercise has slowed to a trickle, no energy-not motivated. Holidays are stressing me out. I thought after 8 months of this menopause thing with no period and now KABLAM $%^^%%$#$%^&*( a whopper of a period started yesterday. NOW I know why I had no energy the past week!
So like a fool or glutton for punishment, I battled the mall, Costco, and Home Depot this am. Now readying for some wonderful chanterlle mushrooms and a ribeye steak for dinner. OOPS, I found a bottle of blackberry wine in the basement that we bought at a little winery (Red Barn) in Liverpool NY a few years ago. I opened it and just drank the whole bottle. Oh My God it was delicious! OK so for all of you who know I have not drank in over a year, don't freak out. I didn't quit because I thought I was an alcoholic, I quit because it went hand in hand with smoking which I kicked at the same time. Good news is...I am not even jonesing for a cigarette...yeah! So tomorrow the plan is to get up early and do a massive work out with my hubby, watch foot ball, put up the tree, and make a great dinner of salmon and who knows what else for dinner!
Oh well....enough blah, blah, blah for now. Hope you are all having a great weekend!

It must be mother natures way of saying MERRY CHRISTMAS, because I was hit with a whopper myself. Although I am not going through menopause but usually mine are fairly tame, and I am able to get on the treadmill or do a good work out but this month I got nothing I want to sit on the couch with my laptop and a heating pad and not move! Hope you start getting some energy back soon... I am not a wine drinker but the blackberry wine sounds wonderful.

I'm with you Babs. Mother nature gave me a gift early as well. And I'm now on my 3rd day of 0 energy, and just feeling crappy. :( It'll probably last another week or so. I had some wine tonight for the first time since about August. ^.^ It was delicious. And I'm not much of a wine drinker, but this stuff was sweet and good! I couldn't drink much since I had to drive home. Didn't record food today either. I don't think I did bad, but I'm not expecting a loss at all tomorrow. lol. At least you got the mall shopping out of the way. I hope you and your hubby have a wonderful workout tomorrow. :)And that you enjoy the rest of your weekend! A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you!!

Well that really stinks about the period. But I think it is fair to say that it is the reason for no weight loss. And so glad for you that the wine didn't trigger any smoking cravings. You will get through the holidays. You did so great with Thanksgiving, and will continue to do well, I am certain.
