Okay… so yesterday wasn’t so great…
September 9, 2009
So, I may have fallen on the wagon a bit.
Yesterday I was running late for work, so I gulped down some toast for breakfast before running out the door and didn’t make a green smoothie. God, did I regret it later. I leave home at 7:30am… by 9am I was dead on my feet. So I turned to sugar to get me through the day… ugh. Baaaad idea. I also skipped lunch because I couldn’t leave the office unattended while I warmed up my dahl and no one came back in until I was about to leave for the day. I was dead and feeling depressed all day. I had a huge headache and had a nap as soon as I got home. I could barely speak english by then end of the day.
Because I was so tired yesterday, I didn’t walk home from work. I didn’t do Yoga. I ate and slept. I’m really unimpressed with myself. Perhaps this will teach me the usefulness of being organized and planning/preparing my meals ahead of time.
I also miscalculated my budget, so I’m feeling myself off the old stuff in my pantry for the next two days – pasta, pesto, potatoes, onions. I have some mushrooms and two small heads of broccoli in the fridge.
I’m starting to write up a shopping list of the things I’ll need next week today, so I am well prepared not to set myself up for a failure like that again.
Tonight I am going straight home (walking, unless it pours down rain), doing my dishes that are piling up slowly in the kitchen before my sister gets too annoyed with me, having a hot, steamy shower and then jumping into my boyfriends Metallica shirt and some yoga pants to do a good session of Yoga and meditation to recenter myself and get back on track. Then i’ll de-clutter my room and spend the rest of my evening relaxing.

Denise here
I also did the same today, didn’t prepare myself, so ended up ending a vegan pastie that was loaded with fat and I felt sick. Along with diet coke, not a very good mix.
I really need to do yoga as well, but so hard to find time during the day with work, uni and breastfeeding my boob monster!

I’ve started a blog on parenting and midwifery – parentingandmidwifery.wordpress.com
I’m also inspired by you to also start up a blog on weight loss as well, especially with me breastfeeding my little boob monster 6 times a day and my gradual transition back to veganism.

I’ve also started my own weight loss blog: http://veganandbreastfeeding.wordpress.com
I made the transition back to being a vegan about a week ago, and now The Husband is one!!! (after we went to the Vegetarian Festival and he went to a talk about the environmental effects of eating and using animal products. He also learnt what happens in the dairy industry. So happy we are now a 100% vegan family
