urrgghh

i'm so tired i can't think straight. i'm going on a few weeks now of either no sleep, interrupted sleep, or restless sleep. i'm certain it has to do with the therapy. normally I'll just completely occupy my mind until I stop thinking. currently, there aren't enough mindless activities in the world for that. le sigh.

in other news, i'm on day 4 of the weight watchers, and i'm doing pretty well. i'm actually finding that i can't quite eat all the points they've allotted me in the course of a day. i remember this conundrum from when i was on ww before. you're really supposed to eat all of your points because your body is used to so much more. my body, however, is not used to more food, just more calories and fat. i was perfectly happy eating crappy snacks throughout the day, then an unhealthy dinner. i know it will even itself out. i've been perusing the grocery store aisles with my points calculator, gleefully finding the lowest point foods available. i even bought bok choy for the first time in my life today. we'll see how that goes. i'm actually looking forward to the weigh in on thursday. i'm certain i'll be able to stick to the plan for the rest of the week.

Whole Foods Diet?

I've been thinking a lot lately about raw food, vegan, vegetarian and whole food diets. Last October, I did a 10 day juice/raw food fast. I had mostly fresh veggie and some fruit juices, and I would allow myself raw vegetables for dinner. This worked so well for me and I felt so great after the 10 days. For myself and The Persian, I know this isn't a feesible diet to continue and raw is very hard to maintain. Plus, I love to cook. This leads me to thinking more about vegan/vegetarian and whole foods. I don't mind vegetarian at all. We've actually started incorporating meatless days into our weeks regularly, and without much effort. It just works for us. Is it sustainable for us? I'm not sure. A whole foods diet holds a lot of appeal to me, since it involves me preparing most of our meals, which I love. I find that after a week of cooking most of our meals instead of eating out at restaurants or picking up fast foods, I feel so accomplished. I feel like vegan or vege...

Holy shit am I grumpy today. I mean SO frustrated it's causing a headache. I'd love to take this evening to knock the shit out of someone and I don't even know who. I've taken my frustration out on the wrong people twice today and I really hate doing that. I try my damndest not to, and I'm not sure why I'm letting little things bother me so much. I know it's not PMS because I just finished with Aunt Flo and I'm not due again for awhile. Work is insane right now. I've been named a team leader on a project that is going to be an aggressive timeline to complete, which involves implementing a completely new system for 700 employees and 2,000 students. I'll be creating the training program to teach all of them. This is on top of the 5 databases I have to build by next month, and ssist with major overhauls on our applicant management system within the next few months. Add all that with a major system upgrade to yet another system that I'm s0lely in...

Move Your Ass

I am the worst at exercising. Once I do it, I'm SO happy I did it. However, I will think of every excuse not to exercise until I talk myself right out of it. Or, I won't even think about exercising at all. It just doesn't even cross my mind most days. I have had bouts of exercise love where I went four times a week and actually started to enjoy it. That was a 5 month period of a 35 year life. That's nothing. Not even a blip on the radar. More times than not, I don't even consider exercising. I will stop that behavior. I will create a new habit. I will become the person that thinks it's bad if I DON'T get my exercise. I want to feel like my day is not complete if I don't move my ass. To that end, I've started myself an exercise challenge. The Get Moving Challenge, to be exact. I have 11 other people doing this challenge with me. It's 150 minutes a week for 6 weeks. Week 1 was not the most inspiring week for me. I felt out of touch...
