food is not your entertainment

So my boyfriend and i went shopping yesterday. we spent 115$ for food. it has to last a month so that means no fresh fruits or vegetables. I tried to make better choices. we didn't go down the snack isle,baking, or pop. he even picked out great things while i was in the restroom.

I'm on this egg kick right now and i'm very surprised that its not hurting me. the last time i tried to eat eggs they made me sick. so there quick, easy and taste good. I'm trying to cut down on my use of salt, and other tasty toppings/dips. i'm also trying not to drink as many sugary drinks.

I really had to fight the urge to pig out when i was feeling upset yesterday. it was hard but i got thought it. because i shouldn't be eating to stuff down my feelings .

as for exercise i haven't been doing much of that at all. i've taken my dog for longer walks. and did yoga with toby one day. I really need to get into this or toby will win. i would love it if i had someone to work out with, but toby doesnt want anyone around when he is exercising.

back to the work outs

Toby and i went to the office gym today.

I knew that Toby didn't want to stay long so...

I walked for five minutes
biked for five minutes
20 crunches on my ball (which has been at the gym since last may, un-poped, but they did steal a part of the pump i left)
10 reverse crunches
lots of other things too

I feel it already, good thing i have the day off the feel the pain. I still have bad knees so i know that i should not be using the treadmill, doing squats, lunges, or anything like that.

I need to relearn the names for exercises

exercise: 13 mile bike ride with my sweetie

The craft: I finally broke out the jewlry making stuff that Toby got me a few months ago.

I'm working on knitting dougnuts. I want to try to knit some earrings.

Toby : I made him sad. I told him that i wanted to have a friend or two. I just want someone to talk to or hang out with.

Take a chance, take your shoes off, dance in the rain

I exercised this morning.

later during the night toby begged me to go to the park.

we started our 147 park tour. I dont know why ann arbor has so many but we want to go all of them.

we took pictures/. Toby and i found a baseball field. im thinking im so big and tough lets race.

Toby smokes,and is a little overweight. We raced around the field and i got beat so badly. come on now i've been training for months, he only goes to the gym once a week if that.

I think i have small lungs i cant blow up balloons.

update pics

less zits, a little less oily. I don't know if it was cutting out the dairy or the dieting.

I've maintained weight and measurements. I guess this is where i want to be. but i dont feel fit. just better about my appearance.

I mean i might be buying shorts this year, i dont know if i'll still want to wear them when the time comes. I dont like to show my body out in public. part fear, part childhood scars, part not looking as good as others.

life/rants:

I love to help out people that have less then us but there comes a point when you need to stop. Toby has spent at least 200 on Tricia and her children. Some of the money we get back but dang. Ok the baby grow out of his clothes, and she is house bound (she has the same fear of drive that i have and but nobody to drive her around). It was ok to buy him a few clearance items, but buying the jealous sister a new outfit that cost more then ten outfits for the baby. But yet I get bitched out if i buy yarn, or a new tee shirt.

Club crackers are addictive. I just couldn't stop i had to give away the rest of the box.

Life: I got hit on hard core. I dont like it when men are aggressive with it. Tell me i look nice and go. He followed me around the store had is friends try to talk to me. Asked me for an application just so i would have to talk to him. Then when I think there gone he pops up will im in the open area bagging chips. I told him i had a boyfriend, and i guess his friends where getting tired of his silly game so they left.

Come on now were not in high school we dont need to play the lets flirt with the girl and make her think shes pretty the laugh at her game, I hate that game.
