Poopapotamus

well... if the title isn't enough to tell you this is a TMI post then you have been warned! :)

Day 2 at the new place... I'm back living with the bad-food friends. :( Its kind of a hard place to stay as they are such good friends, but with such HORRIBLE eating habits.

Today, I felt the effects of what a diet change like that can do. For the last three weeks while I was on my own cooking and eating pretty darn well 90% of the time I had these lovely fluffy fat poops full of fibre and not hard on the butthole....

Today I just had an event in the ladies loo at the office which can only be described as... liquid trauma.

Monday night:
White pasta manicotti stuffed with 2% cottage cheese, spinach (hardly visible) and meat - lots and lots of ground beef on top with some stewed tomatoes - covered in parmasagne cheese.

Tuesday night:
Turkey pot pie - fried turkey with frozen veg (peas and carrots), potatoes and mushrooms in a flour based sauce in a pie shell... covered with another pie shell (because one can not get enough of pie crust at dinner).... thats all.

Now- don't get me wrong - was it yummy. Hell YES. I heart pie crust a lot. But my toasted flax bread with mustard, ham, tomato and cheese sandwiches with side serving of red grapes was a hell of a lot better for me... and for my butthole.

:( must get in more fruits and fibres asap!

Oops!

Today's post is going to delve deep into TMI territory!! You have been warned


At the gym on Monday I strained my hip flexor a little. Now this bad boy is aching and making life uncomfortable... which would normally not be too huge an issue - rest and ice and I would be okay in a week. Except that its making spreading my legs pretty painful!!!

AND

This weekend the hubby is flying home and we are going to a cousins wedding... and I've not seen him since May... and I was planning on not being able to walk AFTER the visit... not before!! **super pout**

So I'm not going to go to the gym today. It was a walk to the office and I'm walking home and then maybe.. if the leg is doing okay I'll walk to the grocery store.. if not. I'm driving! I have to be primed for some loven' all weekend. Other then that - its ice pack to the groin-zone for the next three evenings coupled with some vitamin I(buprofen).

That should get me right as rain! If not... as the hubby said.. "it will only hurt for a second", HAHAHAH he is too funny.

Beets!

Mighty powerful in the colour department.... that's all I'm gunna say.

An ode to cravings

A Haiku....because I can! so there!

Sugar, you devil

you torment me with the sweet.

I hate you so much!

Ahh, a bit of Friday night fun.... yeeehaaw! Actually today turned out a lot better food wise then I thought that it might. All afternoon I was lusting after more chocolate flavored coffee and whip cream... I didn't get one. YES!! I went and ate a yogurt.

However, I've not been eating enough fruits and veggies. I've been eating the kashi granola bars etc... which I realize are not "bad" for you, but its not like eating an orange is it. NO.... Tamzin... its NOT.

This weekend I have lots of activities planned, tomorrow I'm going to try and get in a 7.5km walk. If I'm feeling brave AND wearing a supportive (we are talking about buttresses here) sports bra, then I might considered trying to do a run 5 walk 10 kind of arrangement. We shall see!

Non-scale victory.... which I'm sure some of you will relate to. I put on a pair of stretchy yoga type pants after work and they fit better (by better I mean not cutting off the circulation from my upper half to the lower half!). They were an XL from Costco. So at maximum stretch, yet comfy that's about a 1XL I think. And had significantly less (( TMI ALERT )) camel toe then I've had in the resent past.

yep...I'm thinking there is a great place to finish this post. That was a treat from me to the people that read all the way through! teehee!
