Okay, food today:
breakfast- protein drink, and a really healthy stir fry kinda thing- rice, black beans, onions, garlic, peppers, corn and sugar snap peas. A little tuna too.
lunch- semi healthy pasta that I made myself- whole wheat spaghetti noodles, and a white sauce with this powdered white soup as a base, a little butter, and the same veggies as were in my breakfast
(I chop enough veggies for the whole week at the beginning if the week and I cook a pot of beans and rice at the beginning of the week. This makes it easier to eat healthy food because a lot of the prep is already done so it's easier than getting junk food. Also I don't have junk food in the house!)
An orange and some almonds. Crap I just realized why I'm so hungry, I didn't eat dinner =(
My evil students brought me two small pieces of chocolate and a cookie. so I ate em all up ;) fantastic!
and I bought this seaweed- oh my gosh, it is SO GOOD, it's like potato chips, yum. I think I'll have some more before I get home, and then no more eating!
exercise- not much, a 30 min walk with my dogs and maybe 20 min of hooping. Not good enough, maybe I will work out for a bit tonight- 30 min, watch a seinfield and hoop a bit? yeah, that sounds good. but then I'll get to bed a little too late sigh...
Okay, hope you're doin well CQ!

Oh man. I'm not gonna lie. I guess I just started thinking I was invincible or something. I mean I lost like 2 inches all around between July and October so I thought I could start pigging out. And boy did I ever. And since winter has come- I'm not working out much at all. Soooooooo....
Back to the website!!!!!!
Okay, I've been on a crazy eating spree, just eating like every free moment of the day. I was actually okay today- not too bad anyways.
I ate two tuna breakfast sandwiches.
an apple
some strawberries
some other fruit available here that I don't know the English name for.
A lunchbox with rice, some weird tofu creations and shrimp rolls. I didn't eat all of that.
A twix and a small bag of marshmellows =0
Anyways, I stopped eating at around 6pm. I won't eat again tonight.
For exercise today, I probably only walked for like 45 min. That's it. sigh. and all the stairclimbing I usually do to get to my apartment and the trainstation. so yeah, not much exercise today.
Anyways, I just measured myself and I've gained back all my inches.
stomach (biggest part about an inch or so below belly button): 32 =(
waist (thinnest part): 28!
legs 21 inches each
butt (biggest part): 37
Yikes!
Will post pics tomorrow. My stomach is really hangin out there! But oh bikini weather, you are only a few months away (it gets pretty warm here in March) no more covering up in sweaters, I need to lose several inches before then! How bout this- my goal is to lose 3 inches all around by May. So Feb- 1 inch, march, 1inch, april 1inch. Is that reasonable? I think so.
To do this I will stop eating at 7 pm, eat protein every morning, and eat regular meals. My diet is pretty healthy, I think the problem is that I am NOT eating in moderation and eating too much bread.
Here's to us! WE're gonna get hot!

1/22/11 - Cindalu
I have been doing pretty well! Since rejoining the gym, I have been going! For the most part, it has been yoga for me. Other things are questionable. I have tried climbing. I think it is OK, but still irritates the nerve. I try and take it easy with that. I don't rope climb much lately. I think that may have been part of what exasperbated some of this.
I have been doing a lot of yoga. I usually feel alight with that but sometimes not so well. Yesterday I think I must have done something that the nerve didn't like. I've been doing some bouldering and am getting stronger again. I've moved up a 'grade' and my calluses on my hands are coming back. Anyhow, I have been going to the gym twice a week for a few months now. Sometimes, I go three times week. My boyfriend thinks my stomach is getting a little better. Yay! I still have a ways to go. Progess is good though.
I have been eating much better since my last post. Other than the chocolate I had over this past week or so. And perhaps, I could go without the cookies I buy when I get my sandwiches at the deli.
I now live with the boyfriend and we have some fruit trees in the back yard. There are several that were added last weekend: Nectarine, pear, lime, pomagranite. We are also working on growing some more food in the garden. Last summer there were lots of tomatoes, peppers and some squash. This year there will be tomatoes, but I am hoping we can get some other stuff in there too. Some spinach or butter lettuce would be good. Maybe some radishes, onions, carrots, greenbeans, corn, sunflowers (for the seeds).
I have been cooking again since we have been living together. He does more cooking than me because I am exhausted during the week from work and commuting. Anyhow, its healthier.
I have maintained my weight. Kept about 10 pounds off since just after the surgery when I went completely sedentary.
It's really terrible what injury can do to a person, or anything that makes them immobile. I didn't gain a whole lot, but my body composition changed. I've looked at photos of me from before the surgery and my face was a lot thinner. I hate to look back and think about 'what could I had done differently.' But that is always something I do and worry about even though I can't go back and change the past.
Anyhow, the boyfriend and I may go for a hike tomorrow. That might be fun. Atleast, good exercise.

The past 4 days have not been good. I did a good job resisting the holiday temptations but I dropped the ball in the end zone. Opps!
It is cliche, but one of my goals for next year is weight loss.
I've been able to do yoga. I will make my goals in quarter periods. So, from January through March my goal will be to go to yoga twice a week and climb/other twice per week. Also, I will stick to 1200 calories per day.

12/22/10 CQ
I have been doing decently. Not as good as I ought to be but decent. I've been trying to stay away from chocolate. Not 100% sucessful, which is fine. When I want something sweet I've been eating manderine oranges, green apples, or frozen pomegranite seeds. The frozen seeds are fantanstic! I would say I have been doing the fruit thing for atleast a month now. They are out of my frozen seeds now though at Trader Joes. So I got chocolate instead.... yah. What can a gal say?
I've been doing really well on the exercise. I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but I rejoined the rock gym a few weeks back. I have been going. I think for the past two weeks I have done yoga for 1.25 hours twice a week. I've also had a little bit of climbing, eliptical, treadmill, and swimming in there. Unfortunately, exercise seems to flare up my pain symptoms. I believe yoga is typically okay. Some moves may I ought not to do. Need to ask my PT about it again. Swimming I believe made things worse. Eliptical I think made things worse. Climbing, I am going to have to just boulder one day and do nothing else and see what happens. Same with yoga. Walking on the treadmill I believe is okay. Boring, but ok.
It's frustrating.
Pain is already frustrating enough, but doing things to try and keep up my fitness flaring things up sucks. I also am now on a much higher dose of one of my meds, that can cause weight gain (which I think it does in me). Grrr... I am going to keep on keeping on though.

CQ - 12/13/10 Update
I have been doing CRAAAAPY with my eating habits. Simply horrible.
On a good note, I rejoined the rock gym. I still don't feel well enough to go like I used to, and I am not supposed to do climbing that requires me to use a harness. But, I can boulder and do most yoga.
Will get back to eating better. Blech!
