View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Ugh! My body is still a hour ahead, it's 5 am and I'm wide awake.
I feel like a change in my mood or outlook is happening, I don't feel as negative. I mean I'm still dealing with some pretty heavy stuff and it's very stressful but it could be worse. I guess that's the silver lining in all of this it could be devastatingly worse. I decided to be thankful for the situation as it is, understanding what it could be and that seemed to make all the difference....perspective I guess. I'm just happy that I can feel some positivity cause the negative emotions are so mentally and emotionally draining.
On another note, I'm really on a cooking kick (I CAN cook but I hate too) and my husband is enjoying it (LOL), last night was roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce and olives. Yes I ate it all (except cranberry sauce and olives) but I weighedNd measured so my entire dinner was under 500 calories. I tend to do get into cooking hearty meals this time of year, for me it's going to be about choosing better ingredients, healthier substitutions, and of course portion control. If it's made from scratch I can add veggies, control the fat and sodium, and it just tastes better. My stuffing was made with whole wheat, organic bread, that had no preservates, celery and onion. The mashed potatoes also from scratch, I use baby reds and leave the thin skins on, by adding garlic and reducing the butter they are packed with flavor but have less Calories and I make home made gravy because well there's nothing like it but I use arrow root or cornstarch for the perfect texture and none of that floury taste. Anyway, the meal was fantastic and Im feeling a little bit more in control of my food choices...the one area of my life I have control over.
So tonight is left overs for the hubby because I have a dentist apt for a post and crown (oh yay) and I'm sure I willnot be in the mood to eat or cook...I'll have a protien shake before I leave work at 4:30. I hate having my teeth worked on but I have to say I do love my dentist, he is awesome and really does try to make me comfortable and make the experience less traumatic. He knows I'm a dental coward and works with me, for the past 13 years he's still who I prefer to see at the practice and I'll wait for an appt when ever possible.
So my house is starting to wake up, the cats are on the move and Getting Loud, their stomachs are still an hour ahead. Well, everyone have a good Monday.
