Good Tuesday Morning!!
A beautiful day in my neighborhood!! We had a little thunder over night and just enough rain showers to dampen the dust on our road. Everything smelled so fresh this morning. I enjoyed looking at the new growth on the trees and the wild flowers as I walked my dog this morning. The sky is a brilliant blue and it promises to be a lovely day.
Not much time for musings this morning as my day starts quickly and doesn't stop until late this afternoon. Suffice it to say that all is well. I have not weighed and in some ways it feels liberating. My eating was well within what I planned for yesterday and will be again today. I am exercising regularly and though I am tempted to step on the scale I continue to experiment with mixing up my routine a bit as I continue to journey this path of embracing myself completely.
Hubby is struggling with his weight. He has always been someone who has naturally fluctuated 10 to 15 lbs. He gains it, he loses it. I think the hormone shots are messing with his male metabolism. All of his weight gain is in his belly ... as if he were a huge beer drinker which he is not. I'm the 'drinker' in the family. He has an occasional beer. Even when we go out he usually just tastes my margarita and orders iced tea!! He is quite uncomfortable. So, last night I made a very low-fat macaroni & cheese dish for dinner which he ate. Typically he steers away from my 'healthier' recipes. He even took a Lean Cuisine today for his lunch. Poor guy. I feel for him. I so know what it feels like to have your body uncomfortable, carrying more weight that it was designed to. If anyone has any helpful hints for him it would be appreciated. He isn't a huge eater at all. In fact most of the time I out eat him!!
Gratefully I embrace this day. Gratefully I embrace the me that I am, warts (figuratively of course), stretch marks (not so figuratively), and loose skin!!
1. I am grateful for having a sense of humor (as I hear my belching colleague enter the office with a belch that is never followed by an 'excuse me'!!),
2. I am grateful for the joy I often encounter working with my families and their little ones.
3. I am grateful for learning more about myself and celebrating me!
4. I am grateful for feeling true hunger and satisfying it in healthy ways.
5. I am grateful for this day, another opportunity to 'shine', another day to breath in and out!!
Have a terrific Tuesday!!! I must dash ... the doctor will be here in 15 minutes to sign evaluation orders and IFSP's so I must get ready for her and pour myself a cup of coffee!!!
Take care, remember to be kind to yourself, especially if you have wandered slightly off your path recently ... every detour gives us an opportunity to learn more about ourselves ... please don't fret, don't beat up on yourself ... we all wander on occasion!!!

LOL about the warts. So true about the detours. I'll try to keep that in mind today as I try to find my way back to the path. I always do like wandering into the woods. :) I'm not sure what to say about your husband. Mine gains a ton of weight when he has to take prednisone and we just try to eat a lot of simple stuff like grilled chicken and salad. And I don't keep any junk around. (Which he doesn't like but he also doesn't like eating too much of it.) I do know that the fat that sits only on your belly is the most unhealthy kind, though. Does he have time/energy/stamina to add a walk in the am?

We walk in the evening with the dog. His energy level is way down too ... probably a combination of the effects of the radiation, the hormone shots, and the additional weight. I'm wondering about natural supplements that target belly fat.

We are having a heat wave too - and the weather men keep SAYING its going to rain and cool things off, but it never does! I miss thunder storms - LOVE THEM! Anyway, sorry about your hubbys weight gain - maybe more fruits and veggies are in order?

We had a thunderstorm yesterday, and it lulled me into a nice nap! Enjoy your busy day! I will try to embrace my stretch marks and loose skin today - just for you!
|
Enjoy the beautiful day! And as far as your hubby is concerned, I agree w/ Sarah... lots of fruits and veggies! Allrecipes.com is such a favorite site of mine to try new things.

I miss Idaho weather. Have a lovely day.

Your attitude is "shinning" I love it. Sorry to hear about hub, very nice of you to try to make him feel better. I wouldn't mess w/ supplements, you never know with those. His body is already dealing w/ radiation and cancer. Look up dr oz green drink. A cancer survivor drank this during her treatments. You can offer him the belly diet foods with healthy fats, avocado, almonds, dark chocolate, olives, olive oil ect. They have really helped in my diet. Also fruits and veggies high in antioxidants, asparagus in one meal makes me start feeling better asap! lol

I agree with Cindy, 100%. I would concentrate on foods with healthy fats and I am sure that he will start slimming down as his body recovers from the cancer and chemo. Supplements can be very iffy, depending on what you're taking. Have a great day!

It's amazing how hard it is to accept ourselves. I'm excited for you as you travel the journey and I'm grateful I get to read about it in your journal entries.

I don't know why weight seems to go to some men's guts. As you say, it may be hormonal but, it amazes me to see an otherwise perfectly proportioned individual with a huge gut. How do they manage that? You sound fine today and I hope you can make the best possible use of the sunny weather.

Yes I have wandered off my path. What a nice way to put it. In answer to your question about that margarita. It was one of the best I have ever had. All organic and top shelf tequila. I was drunk after one lol and my daughter had to finish my second since it was happy hour and I ordered 2. lol

Sounds sinful!!! Then it will be worth it to go to PF Changs, if only for the Margarita!!

Margarita's and egg rolls. The egg rolls were awesome with a apicy honey mustard sauce. That's what I would do there. Happy Hour!

so ... what time exactly is happy hour? lol!!
2010年06月29日 会员：: madaboutmoose

Happy Hour is from 3-6 Margarita's and Martini's 6 bucks vs. 9 regular eggrolls 2 for 3.00. Chris is right they are small but they are definitely potent. ORGANIC AGAVE MARGARITA
4 Copas Tequila and Organic Agave Nectar shaken with fresh lime juice

I'm drooling!!! Texas Roadhouse Grill also has killer margaritas!! Good thing I already am home and have dinner planned!!

I know I had to skip dinner. Ate way too much at lunch but could really go for a good drink. Try them you will definitely enjoy it. When you order they give you the long speel about how they only use natural stuff and real lime juice and top shelf tequila. I am drooling just thinking abou it. lol Well I am really tired since I've been up since 4. I hope I can relax enough to sleep. My mind is in overdrive tonight.

I also agree with Cindy and Erika. While under radiation, your hubby's body will go thru many changes. But as for your journal tonight, it was enlightening, inspiring and you are certainly blessed. You are one lucky lady and your blessings are many. Here's to you.......
