Day 908: Not The Day I Planned

 


🖤 Get well soon Tommy ! #teamrivs #RageOn 🖤







Today is day 908 of Nutrisystem. I had no inspiration today. I got up resigned to the fact that this was not going to be the kind of day I planned on when I went to bed last night. I woke up during the night with a stomach ache and just before 5 am I was up vomiting. Once my stomach was empty I felt better and was able to go back to sleep. I have no idea what made me ill. Something in my salad ? (we'll see - I ate from the same bowl of salad today, lol) The fresh cherries that I didn't wash ? (I didn't eat any today) The veggies I roasted yesterday ? We'll see, had some for dinner tonight ! I don't suspect any of the Nutrisystem food but you never know. It could just be a bug, though I have not been out since Saturday. Whatever it was, I did not feel 100% when I got up and I decided to give myself a break from the treadmill today. There is no earthly reason to kill myself. During lunch I cleaned litter boxes, along with the rest of the laundry room. I also installed the air conditioner in my office/workout room ! About 3 pm I moved from the stifling hot front porch to that nice cool room. The sun swings around in the late afternoon and turns the porch into a hothouse and I couldn't take the heat today. After work I continued with a bunch of small tasks that I've been putting off. I organized all my exercise gear, sorting out the stuff that is too big on me now or that is winter weight. I cleared away all the "stuff" that had taken over the dining room table. I determined that for the first time in my life I need a shoe rack or some other way to store shoes too ! I have gone from owning 1 or 2 pairs to owning 20 or more ! Getting these little things and a whole lot more accomplished makes me feel better about skipping the treadmill. At least for once I didn't waste the time !


Breakfast was a 160 calorie cherry cheese roll and an 80 calorie Light & Fit strawberry cheesecake yogurt. I did not have a morning snack. Lunch was a 220 calorie pepperoni pizza melt with a chef salad. Afternoon snack was 1/2 cup cottage cheese (80 calories) and 2 Alyssa's oatmeal cookies (90 calories). Dinner was 260 calorie roasted turkey medallions with roasted veggies. Evening snack was a 140 calorie chocolate cupcake. Total calories for the day are 1030 and I got about 64 ounces of water in.


I am hoping to have a better night and be back on my game tomorrow ! At the very least I want to make sure I'm in tip top shape to enjoy the ball game on Thursday ! I was glad I felt well enough to be productive at work since we are short handed and I am off next week. I got a lot accomplished so I'm not feeling super stressed as the week goes on. On that note it's about time for a shower and bed.

                                                                                                🖤  Get well soon Tommy ! #teamrivs #RageOn 🖤 “For me Monday represents a fresh  start to the week. It is the day  where the slate from the previous  week is wiped clean. It is a day  of   new beginnings . ”  ~Allen Smith ~   It's day 662 of Nutrisystem. I used to spend my Sunday's dreading Monday but somewhere along this 662 day journey that stopped. I look forward to Monday now for all the reasons contained in this quote. The past 7 days are gone and a brand new set of 7 days are in front of me. I'm still working on discipline and consistency and every new week is another chance to achieve that. I've talked be...

Day 43: Peace Is A Journey

“Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.” ~Lyndon B. Johnson~ Wise words from LBJ. I find the “one step at a time” approach works best for me in almost every aspect of my life. If I try to focus on too many things at once I get overwhelmed and it paralyzes me. As I’ve said before, the fire forced me to deal with a lot I hadn’t wanted to face, but I think I was able to do that only because my home was in someone else’s hands for 9 months and the house I got back was completely redone. For the first time in my adult life I felt like someone else was taking care of me. For those 9 months I only had to worry about myself – not a house that was falling down around me. I’m not sure where I’d be today if not for that fire. How many people can look at a fire as something that changed their life for the better ? I’m still pretty sure Tigger caused the fire but I also think there was some Divine Intervention. I personally think it saved my life and I...

Day 55: Choices vs. Decisions

“Choice determines direction … Decision determines destiny.” On this 5 degree morning I was treated to a beautiful sunrise as I passed over Oneida Lake on the way to work. That blazing ball of fire was just above the horizon as I went over the bridge. It’s cloudy so the sun was only there for a moment. It would have made a spectacular photo but they frown on stopping on highway bridges .. LOL ! Even before I got on the highway I could see a brilliant pink sky over the tree line. It was incredibly beautiful too but remember the old rhyme .. red sky at night, sailors delight; red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. So that beautiful sky was a warning of things to come. Snow moved in and the drive home was not so beautiful ! My 40 minute commute took 105 minutes but I made it home safe. Regardless, considering yesterday’s note theme was shining bright I’d like to think the beautiful morning was an affirmation of my resolve to shine bright no matter what. Today I was thinking ab...
