Hello!

Been a good while since I have blogged. Not much has been really happening but at the same time there prob has been alot happening. Make sense?

I guess I feel lately that nothing I have to say is very much important. In the way of...it is just bull. So what's the point. Kind of blah who cares?!

Anywho...I have been making 1-3 new recipes a day.  I am so HAPPY to be doing that!! I gave up on cereal 2 weeks ago. I got "TIRED" of feeling like I am "miserable" because I get 2 spoonfuls of cereal and that is all. I have never been happy with eating cereal and I ate it 4 days a week. 2 of the other days were plain oatmeal, and "special" oatmeal. The other 1 day was eggs. I decided I love my oatmeal and I love my eggs. I am runner and those are PERFECT for me. So....there are a TONS of recipes I can make for both. Then I have eggs and oatmeal with different things in them so I wont get sick of them because it is never the same old recipe. So I trade off between eggs and oatmeal each day. One day being special day...like pancakes (new recipes as well) that day being on Sunday when we are ALL home to eat it. :-D ALL my recipes are thanks to HUNGRY GIRL!! I feel so awesome making new things because not only am I satisfied in the hunger department but I get a taste of so many things so I do NOT feel deprived AT ALL WHATSOEVER!! Great choice on my behalf. LOVE it!! Here is the link to my "fitness/weightloss" page on FB that I post ALL my recipe pictures. Feel free to take a look!!

Been running my normal stuff. So nothing new there. I was supposed to do my 1rst set of intervals yesterday. 3 miles worth. I didn't! :( I decided instead of doing 3 mil HILLS every week I would do them every OTHER week. So I still will run 3 miles but not hills on the other weeks. I then decided I mind as well but it to good use and do intervals. Well I learned yesterday that the plan on NOT waking up early and doing it later in the day...for me...DOES NOT WORK. Life/energy gets sucked out of me quickly. So if I do not wake early and do it while everyone is sleeping (except obviously me ugh lol) I will NOT get it done. Lesson learned. I am a EARLY morning runner. That's it. No if's, and's, or dang butt's!  We live and we learn.

Now also speaking of energy. I have none. Like not just I am a mother I have no energy kind I mean really NO ENERGY. I asked a question on FB the other day if there was anyway of knowing you are anemic WITHOUT going to the dr's for blood work, since my household is uninsured. I do not think I have any of the signs. Just always fatigued. Besides I am sure I have bad circulation cause my hands and feet are ALWAYS ice cold. When I get cold my fingernails turn blue. I always seem to be freezing. Heck when people are sweating I seem to be shaking. My question to YOU folks is are there ANY vitamins that are known/supposed to help with energy or anything like that?! So many things I could research/look up but then I'd be bombarded with too much stuff and be overwhelmed. I do not want to take IRON pills if I do not need them. That I know can make you sick and I already take a multi vitamin daily.

I really HATE the no energy everyday. I look at my dvd's/workout tapes/workout equipment and WANTING to do them. Wanting to do so much, but simply not being able to cause I truly have no energy! I always had energy when I began. slowly started to deteriorate. I had MORE energy when I was 225 lbs then I do now, and then I did not want to work out and did. Now I want to, but can't.

I am still eating my calories! :) Making sure to meet them everyday. No more 1200 or less girl. Has been that way for a LONG time now. So glad I made that transformation!! Looking back at that and how long it took me to snap out of what I was doing to myself. So thankful for that. I thank my marathon I signed up for. THAT is what made me realize, and change.

I can NOT imagine how I would feel if I was still eating 1200!!! If I am eating MORE now 1400-1800 depending on the day, and I have no energy/lethargic can you imagine how I'd feel at 1200 or less?! WOW. :-\

On another "note" my body does NOT like ground meat. I have tried it couple times past 3 months. I NORMALLY would have ground TURKEY cause I do not like to eat much red meat (I only eat a 4 oz steak once a month for red meat that's all) BUT the past 3 months the grocery store I go to HAS NOT had ANY!!! Seriously. Grr....so I chose to do ground meat which was the SAME calories. Each time it upsets my stomach and I have GI issues. Well I made chili the other day and after 1 day I finally made decision I am not eating the rest of it (which happens to be 9 cups). Enough is enough. I am done.

That is about all folks!
XOXOXO
