It's Good Friday, a stat from school, so I have my 'princess 'bear' home.  (The 'bear thing is cuz I've called her 'Honeybear' since she was in the womb (I know, no more info!), and that was the first thing I called her when she 'materialized' and it stuck.  It got shortened to 'Bear and I still call her that.  I know awww!  When I'm 'Godzilla Mom' (what?! ME?!) I use her name of course.

So. I have a 'day off' from going to the hill taking the dog.  What is going to happen when she gets to the point that I don't drive her anywhere?  I think I'm the laziest sloth.  I am a routine girl, I have my 'path' that I go every morning: drop at school, up the hill, to the park to take out the dog/might as well exercise so I climb it too, then home and downstairs to work out.  My afternoons are housework/laundry, then email/blog.  Sorry to make you last place, but it's also my excuse to rest/down time/repair.  Take it as a compliment, you are my 'healing energy' replenishing my spirit.

Ok, gag I know, use a bucket.  Even my daughter never once puked in her bed.  (I know, weird, but hey I'm not complaining!) I do have an incredibly bright gifted kidlet!  She's in Gr. 8 and already has figured out what/where she's going in her life.  She competes with another guy for 105%, not just 100, (or 50% pass!) She got the award for top Math he got it for top Science, but they always try to outdo.  THAT determination/stubbornness I think she got from me.  Stubbornness anyway!  Good thing? I dunno, channel  it right girlie!

Enough of this, back to 'real life'  I was good last night, had my salmon and veggies for supper, 1/3 of a hot pepperoni stick later for 'desert', and 1.5L of water/lemon throughout the evening.  So far this am I've only had my coffee, so maybe I'll have brekky pretty soon.  Should I have protein first thing? Or carbs?  I've heard two schools of thought:

1-The carbs 'start your engine'
2-Protein is burned for fuel more slowly and won't spike your blood sugar making your body work harder to digest it and satiating you longer.

These things I know but what's going to 'cut' me better/faster?
Argh! How frustrating!  I guess it depends on what my goals are and how serious/fast do I want to be?  And will I keep it up?

The 'Will I keep it up' part I should really not worry about.  I only gave up on this sort of thinking once for a couple of years - and I was 200lbs!

I lost it the wrong way-Anorexia. I know, stupid.  But I did know that if I lost that much weight that badly, the second I start eating again, it's going to slam back on plus some.

So THAT'S where I started to think about the nutrition end of stuff.  I had to get the nutrients without the calories/fat = vegetables.
Then, about a year later - BANG! A diagnoses of Multiple Sclerosis.  Did I cause it? Sometimes I think so, given that there has never been MS in my family before.

Oooo what a trooper-to go where no one has gone before! GAG!!!

Ok. I'm dressed in my workout gear and having brekky.  I went the protein route:
1/3c pln ygrt/ctge chse/ chia sds
1.5 T natural peanut butter.

Hubby would gag, but it's not that bad. Looks gross but...whatever works! I've heard of 'sandwiching' protein with your workout, so I'm gonna try that.  After I'm done this I'll have a wrkout, then have eggs/spicy hummus for lunch.  I am absolutely ADDICTED to chilli paste!  I've also heard capsaician raises your metabolism,  and Hubby said the guys at work put hot sauce on everything.  So. burn Baby burn!

Am I wrong?! Input/Opinions!!
