This week so far has been unsuccessful in the balancing of healthy living and living healthy. I have eaten all kinds of random things for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. Call it laziness or lack of motivation or whatever – I am just not feeling up to it lately.
The thing that sucks about eating crappily? Is that you feel crappy right after that bite is on its way down after you swallow. It’s already gone past the point of return and now it’s just on its way to sit heavily in my tummy while I wonder why I am choosing to eat these dumb things. Good thing there isn’t any Halloween candy in the house anymore (except smarties and tootsie pop lollipops – bleah) otherwise you would only see empty chocolate candy wrappers in the garbage.
I did wake up and exercise Monday and Tuesday morning but last night I was so tired that I fell asleep at 730. You want to know how I know I fell asleep at 730? Because my iPad wacked me in the chin at 730! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I had fallen asleep scrolling around on Pinterest and that iPad just fell forward and bopped me a good one.
So I put the iPad away and settled in to watch The Voice, falling asleep somewhere in the middle of Christina & Ceelo’s performance…but catching the end…then waking up while Carson took 5 minutes to announce one name of who was still in. Then finally falling asleep asleep because next thing I knew the alarm went off at 5am today.
I promptly pushed the snooze 3 times…until HunBun comes walking over and asks if I’m getting up. I said “I don’t know why I’m so tired”. He said “I know, you were freaking me out, talking in your sleep all night long and snoring”. Hahahahahahaha!
So I don’t know what’s the deal. But I do know that I didn’t work out this morning and set an intention to take a quick run at lunch time – so we’ll see if that happens. I started the day with 4 pieces of cranberry holiday toast with PB on it and 1 giant holiday grape.
The best thing to do with the Holiday Grapes, besides just eating them right off the clump, is to make Holiday Grape Salad. HGS is a concoction of cream cheese, sour cream, white sugar, vanilla extract, Holiday Grapes all swirled together then topped with a brown sugar & chopped pecan sprinkle. Oh so good!

I usually make a big bowl of this for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We put some aside before everyone starts eating otherwise there is never any leftovers.
How’d I get on this tangent? So anyhoo… Beats me why I’m off my normal routine. Might be the holiday slump…where you know the year is ending but can’t believe the year is ending and didn’t do everything you had hoped to do. Or it might be that I’ve been go-go-go with work, family, exercise and my body is telling me “hold up girl”. Who knows, I’m no nutritionist, dietician, health expert or Dr.
I guess the only thing to do is look forward and do what I do…bounce back. I’m sure it’ll get better after this release. 🙂 Thanks Bloggy readers…
See ya later
