Runners that need some nutritional accountability

@Cmorning99- Aw, I definitely know where you are coming from. Moving is tough. Sometimes life just interferes with our best intentions and that can't be helped. Just keep it in your mind that it is a temporary circumstance. It will not set you back to bad as long as it doesn't turn into something more permanent. In the meantime, try to hang in there. Wishing you the best of luck!0

Man I am dragging tail! I haven't run in 3 days and today will probably be day #4. I am just mentally exhausted from this move! All weekend I was sorting, planning, coordinating, cleaning...starting at 4:30am when I naturally wake up. By this morning I was zonked and I just sat in my recliner and drank coffee all morning. Not to mention b/c the house is turned upside down right now, food was take-out of varying sources. Needless to say, I am tired, bloated, sugar/carb crashing...in general a hot mess. I made an effort this morning and had a shake for breakfast but I have been picking at salty foods probably because of stress.
I am not beating myself up b/c this exhaustion is real...but it still sucks to see the work I have put in slip away.
Tomorrow I have a going away lunch and dinner so food is going to be high tomorrow as well. After that, we have the movers in our house for 2 days. Not sure it is worth the stress of trying to eat around them. On Friday though I think I am good to go ...we will be in lodging and on cruise control to Cali.
I WILL NOT STRESS MYSELF OUT MORE BC OF MY DIET! (repeating)
Moving is rough - I helped my mom move last month and it was exhausting, and I wasn't even the one moving! Do try not to stress yourself out more because of your diet! Sometimes you just have to stop and catch your breath. I have been trying to remember that myself.0 -
IT'S TACO TUESDAY! like i need a reason to get tacos
Its also bike day. I'm sure i forgot my shoes (just sneakers for mtn bike). Guess I'm going to find out if i can bike barefoot.0 -

Yum. Now I want tacos. Wait, I had fish tacos for dinner last night. But that's not the same thing. Wait again, I didn't actually even have fish tacos for dinner last night because I was out of corn tortillas, so technically I just had fish. Not at all the same thing. Now I really need to have tacos...1 -

@lporter229 GF left over pasta is pretty bad. We've found if you slightly undercook it the leftovers are a bit better. And some bands are better than others.
Yes, I like the pastas that are made with corn and quinoa. The rice based ones are disgusting mush and the bean ones (chickpeas or lentils) are too gritty.
Orgran makes a spaghetti bits pasta that I love, but it's hard to find. Tinkyada is our go-to that seems to be fine the next day as long as you re-heat. Cold GF pasta is naaaaaaaaaaaasty unless it's a super fresh pasta salad (but still don't love, love it).0 -
Oh yes and sorry I've been MIA. My daughter has been in town, which is hugely distracting, but also awesome!
My food's been all over the place, but I'm holding steady so far. Hubby and my son go to Canada on Saturday for ten days, so I'll only have myself to worry about!2 -

Mmmm - I want tacos too now! May need to have that for dinner tonight... and I am making black bean chili in the IP for tomorrow to go with the burgers.
@Elise4270 - you got your braces off yesterday!! YAY!! I was at the dentist all morning (no run) getting impressions made to get braces!
My eating is improving but was kind of off the rails for a few days. Nothing too bad but definitely not great and out of balance for me. DH made a brisket in the smoker on Saturday that I thought was great and I am not a huge fan pf brisket, but it didn't turn out how he wanted or expected. Now we have to figure out what to do with all the leftovers (maybe I can make tacos out of it
). Sunday night we went out to celebrate his retirement with steak and too much wine but it was really fun. Yesterday was an 'I want all the carbs... give them all to me' kind of day. Today I am just trying to get back to that balanced spot again...

@shanaber mmm brisket tacos! Are you doing the trays? Like Invisalign (sp)?
I spent all day at the otho yesterday. Was there 8-10, 130-145 and 445-5. Haha!
I'd very much like to have tacos again for dinner. No dinner plans yet. I can snack on veggies and cheese. Dh may want real food since hes off this week, running errands, taking care of my widdle baby cat whose ears mysteriously hurt- vet trip.
Boss is about..... *Whispers catch yall later0 -
@Elise4270 - hopefully the Invisalign trays, yes. I have braces multiple times before and my teeth keep getting screwed up... also no dentist ever told me to keep wearing my retainers - FOREVER! but apparently that is what you have to do. Any way he is hoping that it will only take 6-12mos... but we will have to wait and see what they say, if they can even be fixed.0
-
@shanaber The dentist I saw at my last appt asked if I still wear my retainer. I thought he meant my mouth guard so I was like yes. And he goes top and bottom? I said I only received a top for my mouth guard. And he's all no no no your retainer from your braces. Um, I stopped wearing those like a year after I got my braces off!
And... I always want tacos.1 -
Yah - after a while the retainers just don't fit any longer... I guess you need to go back and get them adjusted? Who knows. I suspect this is how the orthos stay in business - repeat customers. My daughter didn't wear hers longer than a year either and will likely need braces again too.0

This is my second go in braces. I knew i was supposed to wear my retainer and didnt after just 3 months. 2012 was the first go. I know i was smart enough to wear it, just thought no way my teeth would move that much.
I hope they approve you for them. My coworker whose 60 just started them. I think they can accomplish a lot. I had that choice, but opted to the traditional ones because the orthodontist said he could get better results. Anyhow, good luck!
I was in these for 18 months. I'm going to have to wear the retainers forever. Hopefully after 1-2 years i can just do nights. i was so happy he put me in a bottom retainer too. Its kind of a pain, but i do love my straight teeth and he even pollished 90% of the coffee stains off. I told dh now i need lip filler. He said i have to go on a cruise with him to get it. I dun wanna leave my fur babies.
I don't think dh has noticed yet that i have them off.
i really need to catch up with everyone. I skim most the post but havent digested any of the subject matter. Probably tomorrow. I'm so tired and my monthly headache is nagging me. Sorry y'all.0 -

Haha! I think the younger you are the earlier you can ditch the retainer. Have your teeth shifted much?0 -

I eat so much better when I'm not feeding others! You have any particular meals in mind?0 -
@elise4270 My bottom teeth have. But nothing I care to correct. I spent far too long in braces I never want to deal with them again.1
-
Tell me y'all are passing on the traditional hot dogs and beer today? Least the dogs? Drink das Bier. Just stay hydrated.
I dislike hot dogs. Still have a crappy headache. Brats are an entirely different story. Headache mean no brats or beer for me. Sucky.
@RunsOnEspresso (@shanaber) the ortho papers say shifting is inevitable and not necessarily the result of failed treatment. Definitely wouldn't address it, as you say, too long for little "improvement". I think bottom teeth are supposed to have a little personally.
Food plans? Nada. Looks like dd set a roast out to thaw. Not sure ill eat it. Shes yet to use the ip. Not sure why she insists on using the slooow cooker that hard to clean. And doesn't taste a good as the ip.
Dh had a long busy day yesterday and a 10 k to day so we had pizza yesterday. I really need to run bike today.
Ok I'm rambling. Carry on.0 -
I am having bacon and mimosa flights for brunch. I always skip the beer.
Leftover shepherds pie for dinner.1 -
@Elise4270 - I actually asked our dentist if it was worth spending the money on braces at 'my age'! Seriously can't believe those words came out of my mouth because I don't typically think that way... on the other hand I plan to live to 120 and that IS another 40 years
DH went to get donuts for breakfast - I passed. I made IP black bean chili last night and we are having burgers and bacon wrapped hot dogs. I am not much on hot dogs either but he wanted to do both. We have some friends coming over so hopefully one of them will eat the hot dogs too. Our friends are wine drinkers but with the heat I went ahead and got some locally brewed beers for everyone to try.
Hoping to head out for a longish run after I eat something - people were having a party or something in the church parking lot behind last night with lots of yelling and fireworks. At one point they were even doing cheers . No idea what that was about but this morning I am really tired. Looking at oatmeal and maybe a banana before I go. I am out of peanut butter - how does that happen!?!1 -
Heres an interesting recipe dh got today at his race. I may try it this week!

Once we're past the coffee, what's on todays menu?
Me? Ugh... Still waiting for tom. Guess its going to be one of those cycles. So honestly I'll probably eat tacos. Not sure what other options I have- 10$ salad at veggie place, so no protein. Likely pass on the "no protien" option.
Hope everyone had a safe holiday. All your fingers and toes, hearing in tact?0 -
Coffee for breakfast... something from the freezer for lunch. We have some frozen bacon steak things in the freezer plus corn on the cob... maybe that for supper except the steaks with take 2 hours by sous vide so I dunno. And Caesar salad.1
-
I need to make some breakfast. I want tacos but that requires more work than say yogurt. LOL1
-
Pretty sure I have all my toes, fingers and hearing and Hobbes the Vizsla survived unscathed. He even spent most of the afternoon and evening outside with all of is, albeit sitting on top of one of us most of the time. Hoping those with the fireworks all around us got it out of their system and used up everything so we are done with it!
Not sure yet on menu.... have an appointment early this morning and then going to the gym to run on the treadmill and have strength training this afternoon with my trainer. Probably yogurt in between for breakfast, something for lunch and IP chicken for dinner. It is going to be super hot the next few days and I will be at the Agility Trial so need something that can just be reheated for dinner or my DH will just want to eat out. He usually picks Panera so it isn't terrible.1 -
Aw crap... I gave into the Thursday donuts. Whats the matter with me? I'm bored. Maybe some anxiety about heading back to PT for the left piriformis. Maybe PMS. I think i ate once yesterday, maybe I'm just hungry.
Ok.. I'm probably just hungry. One donut. Let's do better.0 -
Skipped breakfast again, ate lunch early because meeting... now I'm starving and have been into the office candy dish an embarrassing number of times. I've yet to run home in the hothot though. Should be okay for calories what with the 5K run.0

Hi. I'm Jenna and I'm a cookie dough aholic.

Hi im Elise. And i had 3 donuts today. I'd happily trade them for cookie dough any day.1
-
Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm having blueberry pancakes with maple syrup for supper. And I had cake at work today.4
-
My do better yesterday, was an epic fail. No idea whats up. Three donuts then dh ordered pizza and i ate so much of it.
I planned to get up early and bike. But i didn't get up. I've banked so many calories. Its going to be hard to get motivated in this heat.
Todays food? Probably that protein-less salad.
Dinner? No plans. No shopping done and left to dh, itll probably be pizza again. I do have mushrooms left. Yummy with olive oil and brine green olives and sweet peppers (all raw).0 -
Skipping breakfast seems to be working for me - on running days (I run late afternoon or evening most of the time). Today is rest day so we will see. We have food in the house but all of it requires work to make and neither of us are motivated to cook when we get home from work lately. Costco tonight probably. Maybe we will just have samples for supper.2
