I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE CONGRESS...

So this morning, as I sat at my desk and tried to figure out if the various symptoms I was feeling were just a combination of sinus problems, a sore shoulder and gobs of stress or the early warning signs of a heart attack... I came to the realization that I need a change. Time to lose some weight and get more active ( Read more... )

I know how you feel. I think I finally hit my junk food threshold though, because I've actually been craving fruit and vegetables lately. How wacky is that??

Just looked over that Dr. Gourmet site. Some of his recipes look pretty good. Have you tried any yet?

Father/son Tae Kwon Do sounds like a really nice idea.

I crave fruit and vegetables a lot... I just don't eat them a lot... :(

I haven't tried any yet. I'm planning to print out the shopping list and maybe start on Sunday. I'll give it a week and see how it goes. Even if I don't stick to the diet I want to start eating more healthy. I'm cutting down on soda big time and increasing my water/juice intake. I'm also going to make an effort to eat some fruit every day.

I got a good night's sleep last night and my arm isn't as sore, so the heart attack symptoms are no longer manifesting, which is nice. I'm going to make it a point to get to bed at 11pm on weeknights, so I can get my sleep.

Yeah, I thought it would be fun doing Tae Kwon Do, but with my bad ankle I could probably start doing yoga before I could do Tae Kwon Do.

I'm going to try the asparagus frittata right now. I've never made a frittata before.

I need to adjust my sleep schedule too. Big time. I went to bed "early" last night (3:30am) and still slept until 1:00pm. That's lame.

Is yoga something you and Zac could both do? Or would it be hard for a kid to concentrate that much? I loved yoga when I was doing it.

I love a good frittata. I'm looking forward to trying the asparagus one (especially since asparagus is on sale at the local market right now...)

Yeah, I definitely need to get my sleep schedule normalized. The past few weeks it seems like I'm exhausted all the time... I just didn't have energy for anything. I'm thinking stress has a lot to do with that. Hopefully that will improve by next week. But I think regular sleep can only improve my state of mind.

Dunno if Zac would be interested in yoga. It's probably not high impact enough for him.
