Foods how do you make your oatmeal? Sep 22 2009

I think oatmeal is the perfect morning fuel but it's SO boring!  I've used raisins, craisins, blueberries, cinnamon, vanilla extract, protein powder and recently tried 1/2 packet of k2o protein water powder.  (NOT all at the same time!)  I love the fruit mixed in.  The protein powder tasted ok and had 25 grams of protein but the overriding flavor was the artificial sweetener.  I really like the 1/2 packet of strawberry/kiwi k2o protein water...makes your oatmeal bright pink but gives it a punch of flavor.

"Barbie Girl".  I don't even know who it's by... I saw a commercial that had a very similar tune and it reminded me of a particular episode of Family Guy so now I have a tune AND and image stuck...

Check out www.myshape.com - you put in all your measurments and it shows you all sorts of outfits that flatter your shape.  The clothes are too expensive for me but it gives great ideas.

I'm a lot older than you but I notice I feel  and look soft and squishy without actual weight gain if I'm eating more carbs.  It's not just the amount of calories it's what its comprise of.  Before tracking calories I was a size (U.S.) 6 but softer and lumpier somehow, when I started tracking I started eating way more vegetables and less carbs- (almost zero sugar, no pasta,potatoes or rice and only a little bread- I know that sounds radical to some ) I noticed that though I'm still a 6 my clothes fit better and I feel so much better! I don't get  bloated, my skin looks brighter and my body just looks leaner.

Aw, sorry you're feeling low.  Your hike sounded lovely.  I love a good rainy day too. 

shoulders tight-head aches

chiropractor is my friend

will call him right now

Hopefully I'll be able to get in to see him.  I'm becoming so aware of the energy flow through my body that when it gets stalled like this- knotted up in my neck and shoulders I can feel it stagnating...

Chi Gong and Tai Chi

Movement slow but powerful

Moving energy

 

I've been doing chi gong and tai chi a couple of times a week, I've backed down on my hour long elliptical sessions to a 1/2 hour and only do that about twice a week.  I can't believe that I'm now within a 1/2 pound of my goal weight.  Moving energy is exercise! added bonus, I'm not exhausted from my cardio sessions anymore and the slower focused pace of tai chi has leaked over into my life.  I have found my rhythm.

"Englebert Humperdink is dead"  the audience murmers..(not someone you hear about everyday so he could be...)

Eddie pulls a face and shakes his head "no" like no,no he's not really dead-

audience laughs.

Eddie pulls another face and nods his head "yes" like- oh, yeah yeah he's dead, he really is.  More audience laughter.

He went back and forth like that for a couple of minutes, not saying a word, shaking his head no, nodding yes and the audience was cracking up.  I laughed for a week about it everytime it came to mind.

It's really hard to drink too much water although it's possible, have a few teas or coffees a day but stick with hot lemon water the most.

Most of all, I'd suggest getting checked for hypo-thyroid.  Begin cold all the time is one of the symptoms.

Tai Chi was lovely.  I did some more this morning in my backyard.  I think I like it even more than the Chi gong.  I can't imagine teaching anyone a new language kyashiis, you must be very patient!

When I was in my very early 20's I had a jackass of a boyfriend that wanted me to shave the peach fuzz off of my butt.  (I didnt) I almost married the guy.  Hand addressed 150 wedding invites. Had them in a box, was walking through my apartment parking lot to take them to the post office and just threw the whole box into the dumpster.  He was awful in SO many ways.

I say good morning

a new old friend will teach me

tai chi in the park

 

I'm meeting one of the other ex-kung-fu students at a park this morning.  He's going to teach me tai chi.  It should be interesting.  I don't know him well but he seems very earnest and curious about life in general.  A good guy.

I started a kung fu class a couple years ago and I weighed 165. You can definitely participate and even excel!  We had an assistant instructor (female) that was close to 200 lbs and she was great.  I lost 30 pounds doing martial arts.  It's so fun and interesting that you forget you're working out.  I highly recommend it.

That's awesome! It's so important to let your child see you have a normal relationship with food!  Kids are so observant- They will pick up whatever food/body issues that you have.
