So I haven't been able to workout for almost 2 weeks, I hit a depression and it is getting frustrating. I thought i've been doing good but hell no, I've gained 4lb. I am so tired and pissed off at myself. And then this am I wake up and my left foot where i had the fracture last year is just throbbing. The same spot.
I am calling my doctor today and hope that this can be taken care of. That is the foot that also swells up at random in the evenings.
I have no idea what is going on, so I better get to a Doctor.
I also decided I can still swim. So that is what I will be doing today. I am taking the kids to the pool and while they splash I can do my swim. I can't give up now and I am also tracking my food intake again. I havent logged into lose it in almost 3 weeks and that is not good.
To be successfull I have to track my food intake. So that's what I will be doing.

Thinking rant, nothing to do with workouts... well sort of...
Yeah I have not been in the gym for a week. After Anime Overload I got home with something nasty and then this week I had stress headaches and then my feet keep swelling I don't know why, but they are. It seems water, so I am taking water pills like my Doctor told me to and we'll see in a couple of days. Blood pressure is fantastic, but I do need to drink more water.
But now to my rant and thoughts...
So this toxic relationship that I had ended over a year ago. But I still am harboring nasty feelings about it. Most of all I am beating myfself up to have let it go out of hand like it did. I've done some crazy things during that time and jeopardized my marriage and my family for this one person. And I am still apologizing to my husband even thou he forgave me and blames the other person just as much for being so manipulative. But it still lingers.
What pisses me off the most is that in hindsight I realize how bad it was, how many times I put the "friendship" in front of everything else, and it is sad, cause I didn't get much in return. I am just amazed and what I put up with, accusations and crap that nobody should have. So I am not sure where to go from here, everybody tells me to let go, but it is hard. And I know Karma is a bitch and it will bite eventually.
But then here I am so blessed, with a wonderful husband ( I think he is the best in the world, but I might be biased) two beatiful kids. We have a brand new house, I made new friends which I now know are better friends already then the other person ever was. I found my creativity again and a outlet for it in my shop.
So why am I still mad??? I don't know, but I hope eventually I can let it all go.
Thanks for reading.

Yummy Glutenfree and very low Carb Stuffed Bell Peppers...
I love stuffed Bell Peppers, I made a healthy version before whith Quinoa instead of rice. But today I tried something different. And it came out delicious.
This makes 5 Bell Peppers:
5 bell peppers, core removed
1lb lean ground beef
1 shallot
6 large mushrooms
4 cups of fresh baby spinach
1 cup of Italian Cheese mix shredded
Pre heat oven at 350F
brown the beef
chop shallot and mushrooms into tiny pieces sautee with baby spinach. Combine with beef and 3/4 cup of cheese in a bowl. Season to taste, I used basil, no salt.
Fill the peppers to the top and then spinkle with the remaining Cheese. Put in the oven and bake for 40mins.
Enjoy!!!

a small snag
Doing two conventions in a row, was not a smart thing. Well it was smart for my business, but not smart for the weight loss front.
At the first convention I had gained 4lb., which I then proceeded to loose 2lb again. Then this past weekend at Anime Overload I did better. My friend Kazia came with me. And we decided to bring healthy foods. So that's what we did. We had oatmeal for Breakfast, boiled eggs, Chicken breast, sliced Turkey, cheese sticks and fruit in the cooler. We had also a variety of cereal bars for the girls and us just in case. So thank so her, I ate decent, I had a slice of Apple pie at my friends house, but I didn't pig out and had bad food all weekend. So I came home with no gain, no loss either, but hey I take it.
Then Monday came around and I woke up with the Con Crud, Today was the first day I felt like a human being again and I left my house at 7am to head to the gym. I swam for 40 mins and put 1250 m behind me. That's the farthest I've swam since I started to swim. I only stopped after every 10 laps to grab a drink of water and defog my goggles. After I went into the Sauna for 5mins and that was torture. But I feel good now. I am back to logging my food and exercise.
So back on track.
