All Over The Road
This has been a really chaotic couple of weeks, what with the start of elementary school two weeks ago, and preschool this week. I'm struggling to keep my meal times regular, and I'm not listening to my body's cues, either. I'm finding that my meals are either an hour before I'm actually ready to eat, or a hour after I've become ravenous. I've been suffering from headaches, too - probably from dehydration.
I also weighed in at 173 this morning.
I assume that if I continue to keep my meals as scheduled as I can, my appetite will eventually adjust, but it is killing me. Especially the headaches. I'm carrying around a water bottle every where. Hopefully, I'll get to the bottom of it soon.
I've still been pretty good about the exercise thing - I'm getting at least 30 minutes of good aerobic exercise a day. Yesterday, I walked two miles, and then rode a scooter with my kids for 20 minutes, and followed it up with 20 minutes on my bike. This morning, I rode my bike two miles, and I'll do it again this afternoon - unless I decide to walk.
I'm putting together my menu for this week later today - check back and see what I'll be feeding the family!

In college I did the drinking diet. Everytime I wanted to eat snacks after dinner I had a shot. or two. I don't remember much else about that...

How about a little protein snack between meals (like string cheese, raw almonds, spoon of peanut butter) to take the edge off?
Won't it be nice when you're adjusted to the school schedule? We start on Thursday--two kids school-at-home, one in public school, one preschooler who doesn't go anywhere . . .
