Back to Basics...

I want to preface this entry by saying, that I feel great. I feel though that I am not making the best choices when it comes to food, and of course, vitamins.

The best part of going back to school is that its time to get back on a schedule. Working and school will only force me to become more diligent about my vitamin regimen and eating. I need to get back into protein shakes/supplements, as I am constantly falling short of the goal. My calories are okay, not great, but okay. I need to call the nutritionist I think.

Today so far I have cleaned, and broken the coffee pot. Good thing we had an extra one in our storage unit.

Tuesday is my class night. I must pack and prepare snacks for the car ride (1 hour plus there, 1 hour back) and for during class too. Any ideas? :)

Hope your weekend was as nice as mine was!

  1. Hmm, snack ideas... can you eat peanut butter? What about PB and celery sticks? or PB and apples w/o the skin?
    Or fat-free yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese, or low-fat string cheese? Maybe some lean meat slices?
    I don't know exactly what you can/can't eat, but hopefully this helps!

  2. Thanks lady! I can eat PB - I have been sticking to the chunky natural stuff lately. All these suggestions were good! LF string cheese is one of the main staples of my diet too! Thanks!!!!

The ugly truth

The truth is...I'm in recovery. The other truth is emotionally, I'm a disaster. I haven't written in here because the truth is, losing libby was originally about weight loss surgery and how much weight I've weight I lost. In the past few months, more emotionally damning crap has happened to me, my family, my parent(s), my brother, and many people in my ever shrinking circle. I am an addict. I am well educated. I live in the suburbs. I have a child. I have serious mental health issues. I tell you all of the ugly in an attempt to hold myself accountable for the things I have done, the things I have put my family through, and most important...what I have done to myself. If you would have told me five years ago or so that I would be unemployed, filing for disability, and doing medication assisted treatment for addiction...I would have laughed in your face and said you were crazy. The truth is, like many other Americans, I'm not the only one. How d...

Highs, Lows, and coming to blows

I have not blogged since June, before my munchkin was born. I have been struggling. I have been happy, sad, and everything in between. I constantly feel in limbo, not only about motherhood, but just life in general. I am going to be the first to admit that I definitely let my health and weight loss goals go to complete shit after I had this guy: He is perfect. His mother, though, is not. A few of my friends have starting blogging. Some about weight loss, mommy-hood, couponing, you name it. They all inspired me to start writing in this again. I was going to start a new blog, but then I thought ya know what, I'm still me. Deep down in this dark hole I have created, the old me is there. The person I once was. I hope you'll bear with me on this journey to find happiness and health again. I know it's there. March 1, 2012 Weight: too fricken scary to even get on scale, maybe tomorrow. Mood: Mediocre to Blah Day: Typical - nothing bad or good to report
