OH I don't know what to call it....

Good day everyone, I hope you are all having a fantastic day! It is cold, windy and snowy here and I'm not looking forward to walking to my late afternoon appointment. But I dressed warm (more or less) and I have long hair which can act as a hat if I keep it tucked in my coat so I should be fine. I really don't like the cold and think I was born on the wrong side of the continent. Between the altitude that gives me headaches and cold that brings the snow, I think I should just move down south! Whatcha all think? Yup, I agree!

So I thought I would take a picture of my lunch today with my phone to see how it turned out. The lunch was delish, but the picture is blah. I've gotten spoiled using my Nikon since I got it last February.

The sprouts are home grown as I have a three tiered tray where I can soak them and grow them in a matter of days. It's rather good to add to sandwiches or salads - and I've even just eaten these ones by hand as I like the taste and the crunch. Now that's whole foods.

I'm trying to eat every 2-2.5 hours this week but yesterday I found I was really hungry when I got home. Now was I really hungry or was I associating home with the "Oh I'm going to be bored" syndrome and off my brain went to say "boredom time let's eat"? Or was I actually hungry because I did not have any protein during the day. I'm kind of doing a test to see how my body is with very little protein right now. I'm tellin ya - it doesn't like it as I'm a fast oxidizer and I need my meat.

Now I did get protein during my dinner meal.. I had purchased a tray of cabbage rolls from a vendor at a farmers market during the summer and I pulled them out of the freezer and we had them for dinner last night. I had two on my plate and when I finished one of them, I had this really weird sensation of "Wow, am I ever full". But what did I do??? I finished the second roll rather than save it for later. Why would I do that? I'm trying to change my eating habits to listen to my body and then I just downright ignore it. What's up with that? One of these days Ethel, I'll.........

So exercising.... hmmm. Walking - yup, I have that down pack. I do my two miles almost every day in the morning on the way to work. But it's not a all get-out-sweat-it-up workout because I am in my dress clothes with my newly washed hair and winter coat. Once I get there, I have to then sit on a commuter train with 10,000 other people for the next 35 minutes - sweaty I do not want to be (and I'm exaggerating on the 10,000 - more like 1,000). My post yesterday kind showed I'm getting a bit frustrated. Massage terrorist said to me this morning, while she was ripping my body apart , that "We should have you running by Christmas". CHRISTMAS... That's still two months away... :(

I've got to do something more strenuous  before that.....

Well I think I've ranted enough for one day and will let this go for now. This afternoon's appointment is a biofeedback session where I get hooked up to a bunch of wires and this machine tells me things about my body and the state it is in. At first I was skeptical about it but when it would state things I hadn't mentioned to the practitioner, well I kind of started to believe. I'll let you know the results tomorrow.

Everyone have a fantastic Day and make good choices.
