Start of another week
Hi all
Hope you all had a good weekend - mine went well but boy it sure went fast!
Work today - boy another hectic day but as I have said before with this new job it is a fun hectic and everyone in the whole team are busy wee bees!
Food today - a good day on the food front. Though I will share something here - since starting at the new job a few weeks ago I find myself hungry all the damn time and nothing seems to ease the hunger pains! I nibble on raisins and museli bars and fruit during the day but for some reason they just don't help at all! Don't know whether it is due to more exercise to get to and from work (doubt it) or perhaps it is of the altitude as I am on now on Level 9 compared to Level 5 (doubt that too).... so any ideas on what it can be??? The last couple of days I have also had a real weird taste in my mouth as well - reminds me of the OLD days when I used to be a social smoker and I would wake up in the morning after a night of drinking and the occasional smoke so not sure what is going on really!
Am also struggling with energy levels a lot of the time too... so combine the energy levels with the hunger and the funny taste and one could think pregnancy but I have just had TOM (and a heavyish one at that) as well as doing a couple of pregnancy tests and I am not pregnant... so any other suggestions from you lovely readers?
Water today has been great - about 2.25 litres so am pleased with that. And yesterday when we went to the BBQ all I drunk was water so that made me feel real good (especially after the drinking on Saturday night).
Exercise - yes I know this is no excuse but the gym was closing early today due to an event being held there this evening so yes I could be walking, I could be biking, but what I am doing? Sitting on my arese doing this, about to do the dishes, doing washing and other domestic bits which Steph can't really do right now with his hand in a splint! I guess if I really did want to do some exercise I would do it but to be honest I just can not be bothered! Perhaps it is this time of the year? Perhaps it also has some thing to do with the high humidity? Who knows... but I am on the look out for my misplaced mojo :)
But anyway, this ain't getting the dishes done, it ain't getting the washing brought in and folded.... so best I get moving off this chair and do some things. Catch ya all tomorrow night.

Hey chick, I'm all for thinking if your body says "no thanks" to exercise, to just have a rest day. As long as you don't do it every day it's fine. This is a really hard time of year to try and keep your mojo going!
I too would have suspected pregnancy with all those symptoms - but perhaps it is related to hormones?
Anyway, I hope you are feeling more like yourself tomorrow!

The humidity always makes it heaps harder to get out there and do any exercise huh!!
Glad to hear Steph is recovering well from his accident.

Hi there Karen,
I haven't posted before but I had a thought when you said what you were snacking on. All those foods are high GI (especially the raisins) and will cause your blood sugar to spike and then fall quickly which makes you feel hungry again really quickly. Try snacking on low fat cheese, nuts or low GI carbs. They will cause your blood sugar to rise more slowly and wont set up cravings. It has worked for me.
