The Funk

In a Funk…

So the therapist thinks that I need to let go of “Fresh Mondays”. I think all Mondays are a fresh start, I know others who choose Sunday or whatever your day of choice is. My Monday blew by in a haze of forgetting to eat and eating a lot of junk. I am not a junk food junkie, but what I eat more than I think I should, it’s junk.
My goal is to break a sweat daily, I did that today, but it was weather induced and the fact the air conditioning in GNC was not working. Not the kind of sweat I was hoping to break.
I am a fairly disciplined person, but can’t wrap my mind around why being healthy is so hard. I know “they” make processed food and other junk cheaper than what is truly good for us, and when you’re on a budget sometimes it’s more affordable to eat crap.
Frozen dinners like Lean Cuisine are good when your in a pinch, but they really don’t make a lot of good vegetarian fair, and if you do find them they are always spicy or have curry in them which I hate. I have issues with frozen preserved meat, or the ones that say things like “mechanically separated chicken”. What is that all about? Eww!!

I am not a meat fan; I will eat chicken and don’t mind turkey burgers. For the most part I survive on veggies, rice and protein smoothies.

Right now I should be doing Yoga, lifting weights, but I sit here blabbing away. I would like to drop 20 pounds before Christmas and the rest of what I have by July. I think that is a fair enough goal, they lose mass weight quicker than that on the Biggest Loser.

This is one of those days where I feel truly certifiable…
