victoria this am
Better, tired. Working from home today—bad night. Started my period—cried myself to sleep.
See below for notes from this am
------------------------------------------------------
Resting Heart: 30 seconds x two - to find exact training "zones" for you. We need this to start interval training.
Start taking your pre-natals - write that down in blog as well.
Write down water intake in blog too!
Also - sign up for Jingle Bell Walk... (sorrry - had to do the plug)
Friday: Supermoms
Saturday: shopping + some sort of activity
Sunday: aunts
Monday: Curves
Tuesday: off
Wednesday: 7:15ish at
Thursday: 7:15ish at
Firday: Supermom
Notes:
Substitute idea: pure butter w/peanut butter on bread.
Laura: Diet doesn't seem to affect depression at all. Comfort: curling up in bed w/dog. Nothing makes me happy. Body image doesn't seem to affect depression much - just maybe for a few hours.. not weeks and weeks.
Caffeine interacts with medication - so can not have in any capacity.
40 pound gain in 4 months last year - italy, foot broken, etc.

mid-pm snack
Celery and peanut butter. Still starving. Also, still no period…dammit. Hate this, gets my hopes up….
dinner last night
Rice/chx/broccoli w/ff sour cream and some sharp cheddar cheese—very good, packed leftovers for lunches
oh, also, 2 pieces see’s candy….erg….must throw out… K
Tuesday, October 25, 2005
mid-pm snack
4 see’s candies….arg…..
finally switched to decaf green tea
very irritable and craving chocolate like a madwoman—period starting perhaps???!?!
workout this am
w/Victoria—couldn’t get my heart rate up, stubbornly stayed at 125. Yesterday’s supermoms workout kicked my ass—I think that’s why
Monday, October 24, 2005
breakfast
Great harvest bread w/margarine and new jam—not filling, will be adding peanut butter in the future. Also—now hate margarine, switching to butter.
Oh, and coffee w/cream.
weekend
Not good, not good at all. Not bad really, but not good.
Friday Dinner: went out, 1 glass of wine, appetizer, spare ribs w/mashed potatoes, saved half for lunch though
Sat: raspberry croissant for breakfast, went shopping and bought tons of nummy stuff, wore myself out putting gout yard signs—counted that as my “fun activity” for the weekend, ate mostly the bread I bought from great harvest, oh and some sushi
Sun: The day went to hell—had all these great plans, but laid around and watched Sex and the City all freaking day. Dammit. Did go out and shoot hoops for about 15 mins b/4 it started raining again. Had cereal for breakfast, leftovers from Friday’s dinner for lunch, bread for snack, and had dinner (pasta w/meat sauce) at the station. Oh well, like I said, not perfect, but not horrible.

weekend plans
So, must figure out how the weekend will work, to keep myself on track! Especially b/c Greg is working Sunday—which is always bad when he’s working, I tend to go for either a) comfort food or b) convenience food, none of which are good for me! I also need to decide if I’m going to WW or not—still on the fence, like I’m waiting for something—maybe to see how I react to what I’m currently doing? I don’t know….
SAT:
So, sat am we’ll probably help out Ed’s campaign. Perfect time for coffee and croissant—eek! Okay, keep the coffee, can I get by on toast, pb and J?
Mid-morning snack—eh, the usual, egg or yogurt
I’d like to go to home depot or something to figure out this trash-bag idea I have for my car, so we’ll probably be on the road during lunch….hmm. Wish I could get the salads they have here elsewhere! Should have bought one to take with me. Depending on how hungry I am, eat AT HOME either b/4 or after Home Depot
Also: go shopping for food!!!!
Also: go shopping for balls
Fun activity: go across to the park and play Frisbee, or soccer or basketball
Dinner: Maybe that chicken and rice dish I’m thinking about, and make enough for lunches, or stir-fried steak and zucchini.
Evening: Watch shows? Work? Oh, have been invited to a party—if we go, limit food and alcohol!!! Starts at 7p.
SUN:
This will be a hard day—Greg works. I always end up eating convenience food.
But what do I want to DO Sunday? Sit around all day? Watch shows all day? Nah—I usually end up with a headache. Is it supposed to be nice? Eh, supposed to be mixed. Work? Bleh…need a brain break. Well, I can start my xmas list. Already went shopping last week—out of money! Hmm, maybe paint. Try my hand at copying some Beatrix Potter or something—good idea! J Or, maybe I should start with something easier J Maybe seuss J yeah, that will be my entertainment—painting!
Yay! Weekend Plans!

Sleep: bed by 10, up by 7ish
Laura - review, edit this list - send me an updated one by Wednesday EOD. We'll discuss further on Thursday. At that time, we'll discuss blog posting. YIPEEE!
Breakfast: oatmeal, eggs, whole wheat toast--include jam/sharp cheddar cheese for flavor
Mid Snack: peaches, nectarines, rasperries, bananas, hard boiled egg yogurt (yoplait, cascade) green tea (decaf)
Lunch: pack leftovers from night before prepack: chicken/rice/nf sour cream, angel hair pasta w/marina (protein), rice/blackbeans/salsa, steak/chk tacos w/nf sour cream soup plan b: salad at work
Snack: yogurt - (yoplait, cascade) apple/celery & peanut butter 1/2 dozen nuts
Dinner: Greg cooks: Salmon, Steak, Stir Fry (steak and zucchini, misc.), Pascal Salad
PS
Dr. said the Clomid would delay my period—essentially, it won’t change the amt of time btwn my ovulation and period, but will delay the ovulation itself….so, instead of starting tomorrow, I would probably start Sunday—15 days btwn ovulation and period, and ovulation started on day 17 instead of normal day 12. make sense?
md appt
So, he thinks I’m over medicated—he also thinks there’s something going on with my hormones, but very elusive. Also thinks I may be oversleeping. So, going off Prozac for a few weeks and supposed to chart my feelings everyday, this will let him figure out where I breakthrough and therefore what the correct dosage is for me. Ugh. A little worried, but he knows that. If I don’t get pregnant, we may just switch me back to effexor, since I did so well on that. Also supposed to regulate to no more than 8 hours of sleep. So, off to create my excel spreadsheet to track my moods. Yippe! J

Breakfast
1 choc croissant
Venti Decaf Americano, single shot, w/cream
However, it was enlightening to make the attempt—I realized that I was using the chocolate croissant to motivate myself to get out of bed in the morning. “If you get out of bed, you’ll get a treeeeeaaat!!!” Like I’m my dog….
So, I also like them b/c they are a) warm and b) have sugar. So I need something that motivates and is warm and has sugar. I was thinking I could replace the treat part with coffee—at least a step in the right direction, away from a croissant. And maybe the warm/sugar with oatmeal with some chocolate chips in it—again, has to be much better for me than a croissant, you’re at least losing the fat and adding fiber. Right?
