Emily Bites - Weight Watchers Recipes: Taco "Cupcakes"
this seems similar, conceptually, to the mexican pasta i made the other night, but far less messy and way easier on portion control.

Emily Bites - Weight Watchers Recipes: Lemon Blueberry Muffins
omg. do want. DO WANT NOW!
3 miles at lunch yesterday. considered 4 but i wasn't feeling well and it was threatening to rain so i called it good enough. didn't get to work out after work because i had to take care of stuff for my kickball friends that are out of town for a tournament.
i'm supposed to do upper body tonight, but i probably won't because i have to go take care of the stuff for the kickball friends again, and i'm not particularly feeling well. my tummy has been pretty cranky at me today. a lady in another department saw me walking yesterday and asked if she could join me so if i'm feeling up to it, we might walk today. if not, we have a date to walk at lunch on tuesday anyway.

yesterday was payday and as such, that meant it was also grocery day. it was supposed to be cardio day, but going grocery shopping after work meant there was no way i was going to get to the gym. so instead, i strapped up my tennies and spent my lunch hour doing laps of the campus. one lap is about a mile, and i did four laps in an hour. i was a little winded and my feet were beginning to blister, but i felt good.
today is supposed to be my lower body workout day but i can't do cardio after my leg workout, so i decided to do laps again. it's 5 degrees warmer today than it was yesterday, but somehow it felt colder. it was threatening rain any minute so i only did three laps, instead of four, but when i got inside i found myself dizzy and nauseous. maybe i pushed myself harder today than i did yesterday, maybe i'm more dehydrated, maybe it was the weather. i'm not sure.
i'd really like a nap now.
yesterday morning i fired up the crock pot and threw in a handful of baby red potatoes and a pork sirloin with just enough water to top it all off. i then spent the rest of the day cleaning the house and running errands while it cooked. when everything was all ready, i made up a side of brussel sprouts, and we had a nice, healthy dinner that i could feel good about.
this just might get me to try quinoa again.

i haven't thrown up in over a week. i have felt nauseous a few times, but no actual puking. been eating very well for the last week, since the co-worker that was most responsible for plying me with delicious junk food retired last tuesday. there has been nothing tempting around for me to eat except for a few things in the break room which are easy enough to avoid.
not sure what i'm going to do about next week, though. i don't get paid until wednesday and i only have enough lunches to get me through the end of this week. by monday i will be completely out of lunch options. i have enough breakfast and snack foods to get me by for a couple days but i'm going to have to figure out what to do in the middle. hmmm... might have to actually bring lunch from home! there's a shocking notion...

we all know drinking water is important, but why?
results of last night's interval training. managed two-minute intervals (varying speed and incline) before my heart rate spiked at 178 and i decided i should probably back off a bit. still managed to vary incline for the last half hour, and did some variance in speed but instead of alternating between walking and jogging, it was walking and faster walking. pretty sore today, but i expected that.

yesterday i really worked hard to not make myself sick. all too often recently i've eaten more than i should have, faster than my body could realize i had done it, and i ended up sick as a result. yesterday i consciously paced myself, kept my intake low, and managed to make it all the way through the day without throwing up. woke up this morning so proud of myself!
two hours later and i'm feeling nauseous for no good reason. what the heck...?
