08 February 2014

I kept seeing "16/8" mentioned and didn't really know what that meant so I did a little research. I never really consciously thought of doing any fasting but I think I get pretty close to it already... I don't think I want to try entire fasting days but doing 16/8 seems like something I could do. I don't know about having 8:00 be my ending time though since that is when I go to bed and I didn't think you were supposed to go to sleep on a full stomach... But if I follow my own rule of not eating after 7 I could probably do 11-7 instead of 12-8... I assume it will be basically the same thing...

If anyone has helpful tips let me know :)

Other than that I am still coughing up stuff but have finished my antibiotics and my cough medicine :( My ears are still plugged and my right one hurts like crazy. With the roads being so bad I don't want to try to drive to town to the doctor...grrr I wish it would just go away so I can feel better and actually sleep at night. Though I feel the coughing is working my abs because they hurt nonstop now too. Haven't been doing my workouts because of feeling so cruddy so who knows what the scale is going to say for me :(

Finally made a pitcher of iced tea with Truvia. I basically make the whole pitcher in advance with sweetener so all I have to do is get ice and pour. I'm glad the Truvia doesn't have as bad of an aftertaste as Stevia did... Still dealing with the stupid bronchitis but luckily the kids were able to back to school this week. Weirdly enough I couldn't bring myself to nap while they were gone.

Got my Mom coming in 5 days which is pretty exciting since my daughter's b-day is the 20th then mine is the 8th of March and she will be here for both. I'm surprising her with a concert ticket to see this guy who looks and sings like Elvis while she's in town. I'm going to try to behave during these Birthdays but I will probably have a cupcake or something...because I can. I have chosen to be disciplined but not too hard on myself. If I want a cupcake on my birthday I will eat a cupcake...I will not eat 12 cupcakes but eating one will not be the end of the world.

On a good note I was feeling munchy earlier and settled for raw broccoli with some ranch. Much better than a bunch of chips or one of my husbands moonpies so I call it a success! Oh! My son got home from school and went and got an apple and started munching away! :D YAY for kids choosing healthy snacks!

Ok, that's all for now...everyone take care :)

Venting time...There is all the talk of the plus-sized princess and people freaking out saying it will teach young girls it's ok to be fat. Seriously?! Does nobody have an issue with the toothpick princesses now that teach our little girls that if they have any curves or anything they are too big and must practically starve themselves to appease society? I am NOT condoning being unhealthy but I would love there to be a more realistic-sized princess for my daughter to see. She has autism so it is difficult to "teach" her to love her body instead of mimic what she sees. She is practically skin and bone now but has beautiful curvy hips and bum. And she thinks she is too fat! She is only turning 7 this month, she is way to young for a body complex. I try to teach her healthy habits but I also try to keep my self esteem issues hidden from her. It's bad enough she has a fat Mom to begin with but I just want her to love herself no matter what she looks like!

This is my personal journal, therefore it is my right to express my opinion, so please if you want to say rude or negative things to me just don't...Thank you :)
