Trial and Error

So in the past week I have started implementing changes in my life style to ultimatly make me a healthier person. All in all I have giving up the goal of losing weight because being healthy is more important. If by being healthy I come to lose the weight I want then so be it.

Here is a break down of my day:

• 1 cup Green Tea - 0 Calories
• Large cup of water to take my Vitamin C pills and Woman Oneaday
• Bowl of sugar free oatmeal with a Rice-cake covered in sugar free grape jam - 185 Calories
• 1 cup of coffee - 0 Calories
• 2 Hard boiled eggs with some salt on top - 120
• 1 boiled Oscar Meyer hot dog (No bun) - 130
• 1 cup of coffee - 0 calories
• Snacks through out the day - Murray Sugar free cookies - 130 calories/4 wafers
• Potato and Cheese Pierogies (Naleway)- 200 Calories/5 perogies
• Petite Garden Melody (River Valley) - 2/3cup / 30 Calories
• 1 cup Coffee -0 calories
• Murray Sugar free cookies - 130 calories/4 wafers

Now if you add that up its about right under 1000 calories for the day. Now remember there are variations for how many times a snack and other little tid bits I munch on. (Child lefts overs DO NOT count in diet) As you can see not everything on there is sugar free, but I still believe that it is a good start to my ultimate goal of no sugar intact. Another thing that you may notice is that I have a cup of coffee after every meal. The reason why I don't that is (1) because I love coffee and (2) Its helps the digestive track to process all of that food. Some days I will skip the coffee entirely and substitute it for green tea which has the same basic benefits and also boosts my immune system. Cant go wrong in my book.

Let me elaborate more on the immune system. If you take care of it then it can actually do its job and CURE YOU, hence why I take Vitamin C. On a normal morning I take about 2000mg of the stuff and on a sick day Ill take my normal dose in the morning and then another dose before I go to bed. Also through out my day I drink glasses and glasses of water. Some make fun of me for it but I just make fun of them for drinking sugary sodas that give them crazy moodswings. As you know the human body is made up of 57% water. So to me it makes sense to flush all that out in a day. Because, lets get real, woman are just a shrine sitting on top of a waste dump. So if you let that water sit in your system, whats going to happen? Its going to get nasty and stale and you are going to pee yellow with a funky smell coming from the toilet. No one wants that, especially the person who goes after you. So do yourself a favor, drink water, cut out soda, save money because water is free, and cleanse your body because it is a beautiful machine that needs to be taken care of.

*Steps off soap box*

Now I do have to admit that I haven't strictly stuck with the work out routine. Ive walked many miles and ran a little but getting all that together with a toddler involved is a little trying. The other part of the work out,

• 50 Jumping Jacks
• 5 pushups
• 20 sit ups
• 20 mountain climbers
• 30 second plank
• 7 burbees

i've really slacked on. I'll admit, it got HARD and I got SORE. Now if only you wouldn't change that into a sexual innuendo because it would have been more enjoyable if it was. *Sigh* Well even thought I was ultimately not a fan of this I am going to try again to complete at least a week.

Something else I have been working toward this past week is to cut out Smoking entirely. So far I am four days in without a cigarette. Thats 96 hours. Now for non-smokers that doesn't seem like much, but for someone that has been an avid smoker since about Sophomore year in highschool, thats an accomplishment. My husband has even decided to cut back to help me smoke less since I don't like kissing an ashtray. So on top of not smoking I have done it with cigarettes in the house. Iron will I tell you.

Well that is my update for the past couple invisible (non existent) posts. Tomorrow I will be going more in depth about why I take vitamins and how the help me feel good and not get sick.
