Not really. The Holiday's started hitting and then right before the Winter Holiday's I had the second knee done. I haven't put on weight but I also haven't lost any weight and I haven't lost any more inches. Sure I have clearance to do taekwondo and hit some of the gym but I just can't get motiavated. The two fitness programs I wanted to do are not open to me because I am white and non bago! Aint' that some shit. Let's see whites or basically non indians do the same thing for a community program and we would get labeled racist. They do it they get applauded for doing somethign for their community! Fucking hypicrets!
I am getting pist off is what this post is all about. The things I WANT to do I am not able to do or it isn't the right season to be doing them. I normally dont' say I hate a specific season becasue they all have their uses and are pretty in their own rights but I really disLIKE winter months. I am a spring and summer person.
Anyway I promised a few ppl I would post updates on how it is going for me loosing weight and becoming a healthier person. I have great ideas and plans but I loose motivation if I dont' get an occasional pat on the back or hey your looking even better then you are. Randy has finally picked up on this so he is trying. I'll give him that. I have even tried getting my mother involved in either going to the gym or taekwondo with us. I have noticed that I get my tendencies of not wanting to do anything from my parents! My mom was a straight up softballer to the point she played slow pitch while preggie with me! Once she got to the point where the parental units switched from softball to bowling and then their bowling partners moved away they stopped and have NEVER started anything back up! The only up thing and positive thing about myparents are they are usually the first to point out that I am looking better, more active, and getting healthier. Sometimes to the point that my dad gets down right cruel to my big sister and how big she is compared to me even when I weigh mroe then she does!
Okay now that I rambled some more, here is what I have been doing. My cooking has stayed about the same. Since we have started TKD (taekwondo from here on out), I have stocked the freezer with easy to make dinners and some weight watchers and lean cusine dinners. You know the type that while I am busy putting thigns away as soon as we walk in the door and the kids are taking turns bathing, they can nook their own meals!:D I admit my problem when it comes to diet (not the diet you loose weight but the food we eat) I am picky. I perfer red meats. Beef, buffalo, deer, elk, moose, and such are good with me. But I have become cheap so I don't buy as much of the wild game from the butcher as I normally do when we are in the home area. After red meats, give me rabbit and then chicken or pork. Keep fish the fark away from me. I only eat crustations:P:D
When I actually cook we bake, broil, steam, or grill. Yes, I am one of these I will go out in the middle of below freezing temps and get the coals on my grill going!:D Very rarely is anything ever fried. This is the way I was taught to cook and this is the way I am suppose to cook for my diabetes. I don't eat a lot of sugars normally so making the change to fake surgars wasn't that big of a deal in my coffee nor is an occasional candy treat like M & N's going to hurt me. Nor is my choice of booze drink going to hurt me. My biggest problem is salt. My family has a history of having very low almost to the point it shows like we are veggitarians with our cholosterals. That is why my doc is flipping on mine! My cholosteral is a normal healthy average person's which makes it high for me according to the last cholosteral test I had done in my early 20s. So the goal for eating wise this month is to add even MORE herbs (I cook with a LOT of herbs) and to switch from salt to fake salt.
Activety update is only taekwondo. I have yet to make it to the gym. I have been having a harder recovery time with this last knee surgery. Don't get me wrong. I am mobile and going about my busy days of beign bored on teh computer and doing housework and running the kids. But I hurt when I get to mobile and my knee swells to the point I can NOT wear even sweat pants because it hurts so bad. So I have been wondering around in below freezing temps in shorts and sweat shirts. That wouldnt' be so bad in itself really but I am not a shoe person so add flip flops to that and my artho really gets to acting up like it does tonight! My ankles, knees, and hips are killing me. I think a storm is moving in. MY GODS I SOUND LIKE MY DADDY! I am a walking barometer!
The goal for this month is to slowly add my walking program back in and to slowly add my ball exersises in also.
Meditation front is actually doing really good. As long as Randy isn't home. I know I know I need to just kick everyone away from me to do this more but it is hard when your hubby isn't home that much!
That is about it for now. Frustrated and pissy. But I am alive and moving so that is all that matters right!
