Hit the Fibro wall

I have hit the fibro wall. Want to stay in bed under the covers all day. :(

I changed the comment settings

BTW, we were getting random comments that had nothing to do with our group. Ads from Asian businesses mostly. Now the only ones who can comment are actual members of the blog. K?

Doing well!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile....but I am doing well! Weighed in today, after 4 weeks I am down 6.4 lbs! Its a slow moving machine, but at least its a moving! Can't seem to make it to a Prism meeting, though. There's always something crazy going on!

Rooting for all of you.

Today was a good day. I love step aerobics. We will see if I can get out of bed the next few days with fibro. The bad part of the day... I made cookie dough for the girls' birthday party and ate some dough :(

Goals Met

Goal:
10 glasses of water
1 mile

Actual:
10 glasses of water
3 miles.

Hooray! I will still keep the 1 mile goal. I have to keep it very doable to establish the habit. Tomorrow though, I do a step class instead. :)

Today's Goal

Today my goal is 80 oz of water and a one mile walk on the tread mill. Will check in later. I have fibromyalgia as well, so exercise takes thought and caution. Read your blog posts for inspiration!
Have a great day!

Smoothie recipe

I've been having a real problem eating in the morning. I just don't feel like it. So this morning I created a really easy smoothie that packs in the protein and tastes great.

It has a total of 300 calories, 3.5g fat (1.5 saturated), 6 grams of fiber and 32 grams of protein! It has so much protein because of the whey protein powder I added. The fat is from 2% Milk. No sugars except what naturally occurs in the berries, yogurt and milk.

1/2 cup Nancy's fat free plain yogurt

3/4 cup frozen blueberries

1/2 cup 2% Milk

1 Scoop whey protein powder

1 packet crystal lite on the go (for an 8oz bottle of water) lemonade flavor.

If needed, splenda or stevia to taste.

Blend in blender until smooth!

The crystal lite gives it a nice tang without having to add juice, which just adds a lot of calories and not much nutritional value.

Have a good week, ladies!!

Almost didn't weigh in....

Last week was Memorial Day and I didn't go to a meeting so that made this week even tougher. I went to weigh in anyway and made the boys and hubby wait in the car. I lost again this week (well...two weeks really). I truly celebrated that 1.4 pounds lost because I knew it was a real battle with my feelings these two weeks. The honeymoon is over and I am really realizing how much I eat over my feelings.

We had to severely discipline one of our children this week and after it was over I really wanted to eat but I didn't. I've been up to my eyeballs in paperwork and really wanted the comfort of some sugar...but I didn't. I spent the day outside in close to 100 degree weather and came home tired and sunburned and really wanted to eat...but I didn't.

This is what having a plan does for me. The compulsions are still there but it is just not in the plan to overeat. Next week will be challenging too. Matter of fact, I think the rest of my life will be challenging but with my plan, I am staying on track.

You all inspire me!!! Have a wonderful week.

Hello!!

I dumped the frump, today!

but it's just mascara...and a dress.

(sing this to the tune of I shot the sheriff)

I DUMPED THE FRUH UMP! BUT I CANNOT FIND MY MAYBLINE!

Oh well!!

Have a sweet day, peeps!

When the motivating carrot is more like a SUNDAE

Everyone needs a carrot - a motivator, something to help them move forward against difficulty. Mine is now a three week vacation in Hawaii. This means I need to get in surf shape. Since I have fibromyalgia, exercise is tricky...so I am starting with simple weights and doing swimming/circular motions. I'm also doing easy crunches and squats. Slow and steady wins the wave!
