good day everyone! progress report

[Guest guest]

Ok so i'm feeling much better in the evenings, but still dragging my

behind around during the day.

anyone know anything about lactic acid build up in muscles? precisely,

unexplained build up? i'm having problems with that. I get sore

muscles after only 10 or 15 minutes of excercise, I feel like i've

done an hour lifting weights and I only went walking or pulled a few

weeds.

i cut my calories and didnt have any success with any additional

weight loss. went out to eat the past couple of days, so i blew that

out of the water now any way. will try again tomorrow. I need to go

grocery shopping and get some menu ideas. I really havent a clue how

to cook for myself and the entire family and satisfy everyone and keep

my calories low. I have been doing the 2 separate meals thing and I

just dont have time for that now.

my husband and I have entirely different tastes in foods, my cousin

only eats meat & rice and my kid is such a picky eater. All of their

favorite foods are high fat & calories.

also, has anyone heard of the Blood type diet? that your blood type

can determine what type of digestive pattern you have and what types

of food you should eat based on the history of the peoples of that

predominate blood type? anyway, i didnt think it really fit me. most

of my relatives were Irish, ish or German peasant farmers and it

bracketted me in the 'hunter/gatherer' slot.

so i'm taking a bunch of herbal supplements the naturopath suggested,

i cant tell how much they are helping. right now i'm just forcing

myself to do things I dont feel like doing, so I just dont feel like

things are going 'proper' anyone understand? I'm forcing myself to do

the weeding, forcing myself to clean up the yard, forcing myself to

excercise, forcing myself to do the chores,, and it feels crappy that

I dont just feel like doing it. And i'm forcing myself to cook and

eat, i dont really feel like doing either, but i did especially enjoy

mmy dinner tonight, probably as much because i didnt have to cook it.

Also, how familiar is everyone with sleeping patterns? I get my most

useful/beneficial sleep just before I wake up, very late in my sleep

cycle. If I get woke up early, that's it, i'm going to feel crummy all

day because I didnt get that most important timing of sleep. Anyone

else have that problem? I also used to get 1 day a week to sleep in

and I dont get that since i had my son. I see a profound difference in

my energy level because of that.

I did get a little bit of excercise putting out the garbage and

cleaning up the yard just before it got dark. i think i may have

gotten chewed on by mosquitos at the same time. i need to find that

mosquito repellent!

my son took his sand bucket and picked all the peppers and put the

bucket in the bathroom. i had no idea i had so many peppers, i guess

i will have to find homes for them. my husband is the only one who

eats peppers and there's no way they will be used up in time.

so i guess that's about it. i hope everyone is doing well!
