When you have a moment, please read the article linked above. It's how the medical community is secretly raping women (yes, pelvic exams are rape if they're not consented to)!

3 weeks down!

Sean & I have been getting up about 30 minutes earlier everyday for the last 3 weeks to alternate between going for a jog/walk, swimming, or bike riding for about 10-20 minutes. I've also made a point of finding time to either cook a healthy dinner every night or make enough to have leftovers (in case of a busy schedule), plus only letting ourselves eat out on the weekends. Even the eating out part has been to make sure we go have something healthier than we would have normally. To make things even more interesting, we have a little competition going between us to see who can lose the most weight before our August trip to California ;) No wager, just the motivation of the competition... Honestly, I thought this would be a lot more difficult but I feel really good when we do this. The one day this week that we didn't get up and go workout, I felt sluggish all day...interesting...

I've lost 9lbs now since we started, Sean has lost 3lbs ... I hope it continues in this pattern :D

No patience for food creativity today...

Friday...

Got up late, got started on my walk late, and have been running late all day...of course it doesn't help that I have no motivation whatsoever to do anything productive today. Maybe I can convince my family to go out for sushi tonight...sushi always makes me happy :D I did manage to go on my walk this morning (technically it was almost afternoon) and turned it into a walk with intermittent jogging :P It's 3:38pm CST, and I'm just trying to get into the frame of mind that I need to do a 90-minute bodywork session followed by 30 minutes of rest, then another 90-minute bodywork session...I think I need to adjust the session times that I offer clients.

So here's what I've eaten so far today:

When I got up: the usual - 2 cups of decaf coffee with agave syrup and unsweetened almond milk;

Mid-morning: 2 pieces (by that, I mean rows of squares) of dark chocolate

Lunch: 1 flatbread topped with Thai chili sauce, lettuce leaf, sliced carrots, quartered tomatoes, Japanese turnips, roma tomato, pickled ginger, and Organic Suyo Long Chinese Cucumber.

Mid-afternoon snack: 1/2 cup of organic graham chocolate chip bunnies (Hey, I'm gonna need the energy, right?)

Dinner will probably be something with the leftover chicken from 2 nights ago...we also have some fresh, organic green beans -- maybe I'll make a stir-fry, if not tonight, then I'll make it for tomorrow night!

(9:14pm...By-the-way, we had yummy sushi for dinner tonight so the stir-fry will be for tomorrow night!)
