working out for Disney

[Sans Souci]

Hello-

I am in with 55 minutes of kickboxing. I am a sweaty mess. I need to put dinner on and shower. I was thinking of how good I felt today. That I have more energy and my carb carvings are under control. I have so much more energy that I put into my workouts. It is so good to wake up and feel like I have energy to tackle the day and not dread it. It's because I feel like the anti depressant is starting to work. My biggest regret is not seeking help sooner. I have gone decades white-knuckling it, trying to talk my way out of it, trying to treat it myself. But I genuinely feel good. It feels good not to have to fake feeling good, which is exhausting itself. <3

I put some frozen blueberries in a bowl of cereal the other day. It made the milk very cold, which I like, and added a good flavor too. The purple milk at the bottom of the bowl was kinda odd looking, but tasty.

YEA! Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits not just because they are yummy but they're also a low sugar fruit, packed with fiber and phyto nutrients.

That's beyond excellent news. BTW I love kickboxing workouts they always cheer me up, without hurting anybody

Due to the wind being so bad I'd fly away like Mary Poppins sans umbrella or the Flying Nun sans cornette sp? LOL I managed to do #SOS days 1-4 for this week. I had a lot to do today that required sitting so I'd work for a bit and then when I took a break I did a work out. None were too bad except maybe the first one I hope the wind dies down because I really want to go for a walk and I can't see wasting gas just to go to the mall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just like them because they taste good.

Once again my wife is out of town and I could not decide on dinner. Too dark and dry to grill, so I took some of the Brunswick stew I made yesterday, cooked it to reduce the liquid out of it, served it with a couple of fried eggs on top with hashbrowns and sausage too.
Yes, a weird combo, and don't even know why I thought of topping Brunswick stew with fried eggs, but this was very good.
As you know, it used to be when she goes out of town, I would just hang out with the Dairy Queen or Burger King. Glad I was indecisive tonight and wound up tossing together something I liked a lot.

A fine reason!

That looks really delicious, even without blueberries!

Thank you. It was very good, but I gotta get my mind right and start watching calories and carbs much closer. After this weekend I suppose? So why wait until after the weekend...leftovers of course!

My wife is making Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings Thursday and I am gonna eat one. Only one because of all the sugar, but you can bet I am gonna eat one, with a glass of very cold milk to go with it.

Thanksgiving Day is my cheat day. I'm going to eat whatever I want, including dessert. I may or may not watch portion sizes. Friday, it will be back to business--watching weight again. The good thing is that we go to a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner, and that means I won't have a ton of stuff in the frig for days afterwards (as if I had cooked the dinner at home). So it's kind of a win-win going out--have one big dinner and enjoy every second--but nothing to tempt me for days afterwards in the frig!!

Thanksgiving is the one day a year when caution gets a big smack down at my house

Good morning. Well at least I have power and got in a # It's still very windy so I'm not sure it I'll be able to go outside for a walk. Best case I'll get out for a walk worst case I'll finish the # series today I only have 2 left (one is yoga and the other stretching and relaxation) I have enough soup and stew to hold us through tomorrow because cooking starts as soon as the guys leave. today I'm going to saute the veggies for the stuffings, make apple crumble and a couple of pumpkin pies. Now I'm trying to decide if I should make a sweet potato pie as well

If the sweet potato pie is up for a vote, I'm going with yes. Would go nicely with the Mountain Dew apple dumplings!

Oh, there is someone in my mind when I kick box; believe you me.

Mine is very good, but of course that is a biased opinion.

I like frozen cherries too!

I read that somewhere too that the holidays are not the time to diet or get crazy about every little food you eat. Just don't overdo it all at one holiday.
