Ups & Downs

Where I look at how healthy my weekend was

DOWN // Tried to get an x-ray done on my side... only to have the nurse at the doctors office somehow screw up THREE times on not sending over the orders.  Great... a weekend in more pain & not knowing why.

UP // My dad brought me a homemade Hershey pie

DOWN // My dad brought me a homemade Hershey pie... It can't really be THAT much in calorie - its basically frozen cool whip with a huge Hershey bar mixed in.  Cool whip isn't too bad... right?  Right?

DOWN // Ricky &I went to O'Charleys.... I've got him hooked on their black bean burger.  Well, I love their salads. They are full of green in their salad. Not just iceberg lettuce.  I ate & then went & entered my MyFitnessPal entries & found out that the balsamic dressing is 260 calories.  WHAT?... nearly as much as the black bean burger.  That's depressing.

DOWN // had a piece of apple pie for dessert at O'Charley's.  Apple Pie to me is my favorite dessert.  Found out that had 500 calories.  DANG IT!

DOWN // A new stomach pain... I'm chalking this one up to stress of not knowing what my side pain is.  It left me freaking out though.  I don't handle pain well... add in the internet & I go full fledge FREAK OUT!

UP // I got to sleep in Saturday.  It was heavenly to get to stay snuggled in my bed with my dogs.

UP // We had cinnamon rolls sitting around waiting to be eaten for breakfast.  Pat on my back... I didn't eat them.  My hubs was happy to take care of those for me.

UP // I did really good at logging all my food intake on My Fitness Pal. I really got out of the habit of doing that.  Not sure how long I stick with it.  I sort of have a love hate relationship with it.  All the focus on all the food.  Which is a good thing, but a frustrating thing.  I know some of you get what I'm talking about.

This is how I feel about entering food & NOT entering food into MFP

UP // walk into church with your bible in one hand & coffee in another & then no one can shake hands with you.  There's your stay healthy tip of the day.

DOWN // I wanted to work out starting this weekend but the side pain just gets aggravated when I even walk from one room to the next.  I think I'm at the point where I'm going to work out anyways - I mean, it hurts just doing normal things anyways - at least it will give me a reason to say why it hurts.

UP // Found a chai tea with ingredients I can pronounce.  Ever read the things in some of those K-cups?  Freaks me out.

UP // Got lots of knitting done this weekend.  Good for the brain.

DOWN // Went to bed really late last night.  Not a good way to start the week.  I blame it solely on Downton Abbey.  I had to watch the special afterwards... like its going to make me have better manners or something. HA!  It was interesting though.

 

So we head into another week...
