My breast started to hurt at the touch the other day. I guess she shall be around soon. I feel like I have gained some weight, but I am honestly affraid to check because I know I won't change the way I eat. I was supose to get my levels rechecked last month, but I've been putting that off to, scared of the results.
I don't have it in me to change my eating habits or diet. I don't think I eat particularly unhealthy, but I guess it could be better. I think if I added regular exercise to my weekly schedule, it would help. However, until I get to feeling better, the docs want me resting, not playing tennis or working out. I did buy a tennis racket and play about a week ago, but it did make it hard to breathe after a few minutes. I did enjoy playing tennis, though. I have never played tennis from what I can remember. It was so much fun and my BFF Mel has agreed we should do it 3-5 days a week once I get to feeling better.
Prior to us moving, I rarely cooked because thugboy was over so much. Now that we have a place of our own (and a working oven!) I have been trying to cook a lot more. Instead of running through the drive-thru every morning and evening, I've been cooking.
For breakfast I would run through and get a chicken biscuit or sausage burrito or even a crossonwich, and a large sweet tea. The tea lasted me until lunch time at work, usually. Now I am cooking my own breakfast burrito with 2 pieces of bacon, 1 egg, and a tortillia. If I'm not in the mood for eggs, I will make 2 pieces of bacon and toast. Or even a bowl of cereal.
As for lunch, we get it catered. It's way to hard to say no to free food. What can I say? I've tried bringing my lunch, but it only last maybe a week. Plus, did I mention the food is free? Okay. End of point.
For dinners I would run and grab me something cheap (not heatlhy, cheap) because I didn't like cooking at the house with thugboy around, plus M changed his eating habits to lose all that weight, so it was just meal for one. How can I justify spending $10-15 on ingrediants for just me, when I can run some where and pick up something for $2-5? Now I try to cook at least five nights a week. Although I am not one for canned, boxed, or frozen crap, I also don't eat whole-grain organtic crap either. I cook what we are in the mood for-- soft tacos, baked chicken, steaks, soups, chilli, and such. I do make sure we have at least one or two veggies and only one maybe two starches. So it's not fast food calories but it's also not top notch healthy, either.
I don't eat salads or drink plain water. I know that's bad, but I can't help it.
I guess the only other solution is to exercise more often, hopefully I will be rid of this cold soon enough so my lungs can handle a bit of extra movement.

I hear ya on that cycle part... I don't think I've had one since about then either. Damn PCOS.
Over on my side of the Atlantic, take-out is much, much more expensive than home-cooking.
Do you dislike frozen ready-made meals or frozen ingredients? As far as I know, frozen vegetables are just as high in quality as the fresh produce you buy in the shop. Sometimes frozen is better, because some veggies just lie around in the shop too long.
I stock up on washed and pre-cut frozen vegetables to make a quick soup, or on mixed vegetables for stir-fry dishes.
