I have had quite a bit of time off lately. My grandmother died the week before Christmas, so there was a trip to California for a funeral and a week off of work, including Christmas, and then a few days off for New Year's. With that time off I was trying to finish up some junk food around the house. Then I realized how dumb that was, so I cleaned out my pantry. Tonight, I'm going to pull out my journal and get started with journaling my food intake tomorrow. I didn't start today because I wanted to use up my Moxie Java gift card this morning. LOL! (Another dumb move, I say.) I bought a small Milky Way (mocha and caramel) on my way in to work this morning. Mmmmm. That will be the last one I buy. You know, I can't even find Moxie Java nutritional information on their website. How bad is that? Anyway, I have a salad for lunch today and I have done a few kegel exercices (no laughing please). This morning I tried to do some ab crunches on my exercise ball . . . and I discovered that I don't have any ab muscles. I'm going to have to start at the bottom (the floor) and work my way up. Where did my abs go I wonder?
Kegels. I read a magazine article yesterday about kegels. If my kegels were stronger, I would have a few less health issues. My goal this month is to do my Kegels everyday. This article suggested tightening the muscle for a count of 10, then releasing for 2 or 3 breaths, and do this 10 times. Then do the 10 times, 10 times a day. Wow, no wonder I have issues. I find that after about 3 seconds, I've already relaxed my kegel and have to tighten up again! This is going to take a lot of work. Additionally, I find that when I tighten my kegels, my lower belly (which also has issues) goes in a bit, like gets tighter as if I sucked in my gut. It will be interesting to see if my abs look smaller by doing this too.
How many times have I found this written out in my food journal? Looking back, its been at least 5 times. Now, I'm saying it here: DO OVERS!
