Oh How I love BEEF!!!! Last night I had a couple of friends over for dinner (Rich &Wayne) It was Rich's birthday so I made his favorites which happened to be meatloaf and brussel Sprouts. I know, strange combo but actually they are my favorites also so it certainly was not a hardship for me. Now as you all know I am not supposed to eat beef until 3 months out but I decided to go ahead and give it a try, and man oh man did it taste good. It was my first taste of either foods since before my surgery. The only bad thing was that I could not eat much of it. I had 2 small bites of meatloaf and 2 brussel sprouts and I was done. Unfortunately today the brussel sprouts are causing me havoc. I have found now, as this confirms it, that most green veggies, broccoli, asparagus, brussel Sprouts do not agree with me so I can say that I won't be eating too many of them in the near future anymore.
This morning I really had to fight the urge to not weigh myself .. I don't know about you all but being that I have fought the battle of the bulge for so long I am pretty in tune with my body and my weight. I can tell when I dropped a pound or two and this morning I was feeling pretty good about it. It took all I had to stay off the scale so I am thinking that Fridays weigh in should be a good one. (I hope anyways)
Now that the race is finally over I have to find new things to focus on. I did decide that I will do the 1 mile crim race on the 23rd and I guess my mom is gonna do it also. (good for her) But I still need to find something else to focus on and to get my exercise. This week I decided that I am gonna try to focus on all outdoor work.. I have borrowed my uncles tractor and have brush hogged my back pasture and I have a ton of other work that needs to be done, such as fence mending and weed pulling, this I think will give me good exercise and on the days that are not so hot I might try a little walk/running. But it is my understanding that the weather is supposed to get kinda hot this week so if that is the case running will not happen. I have no problem getting all sweaty and smelly working outside but doing exercise is a whole other ballgame for me. I am just an outdoors, country girl at heart and enjoy working outdoors.
*** this just in*** My sister just mentioned a 5k race on Thursday .. And strike me down I am actually thinking about doing it..
