Blue Sway Review / Weeks Away
Here I am weeks away from my Blue sway, I am incredibly anxious, consumed with thoughts of failure mostly with a few sparkling thoughts of hope. I think about this 24/7 nowadays and i sure hope this stress doesn’t get the best of me, when it comes to my sway. Where are all the blue sweaters, anyway? Anyone?
My sway. It’s certainly not perfect but here is the truth
I love my breakfast. Always have. Breakfast everyday is a bowl of berries, two protein waffles, heaps of spoons of peanut butter and decaf tea.
Snack usually chocolate almonds
Lunch is a loaded wrap most days / chicken/ turkey/ tuna. Sometimes I have a really loaded salad with chickpeas, sweet potatoes, beets, kale, and lots of chicken.
Snacking between lunch and dinner is plentiful. I workout a lot (all lifting) and I am always hungry. Snacks are bananas, full fat cheese, oatmeal cookies, any kind of cookies, apples, sometime aprotein bars, dark chocolate.
Dinner is usually red meat, chicken or turkey with a carb like rice/ sweet Potato/ buckwheat ( I do not eat potatoes or pasta ever although I do realize it doesn’t go well with a blue sway I feel like I do choose plenty of healthy carbs to counter) Ah I hope that’s ok
After dinner snacks/ full fat yogurt/ lots of dry fortified cereal ( I love Cheerios) / full fat cottage cheese. Another thing that worries me is I do not drink milk, I just can’t bring myself to do it. But I do eat full fat yogurt and cottage cheese and do have cheese in my wraps.
Drinks/ water/ coconut water/ full sodium veggie juice with brewers yeast powder. Lots of tea (green every day/ I also like tulsi tea its caffeine free) Coffee about every other day sometimes 4 times a week. I cut the coffee at one point didnÂ’t drink for several months, but lately it’s saving me some days.
Fitness/ I have worked out all of my life. The last year I have really stepped it up a notch mostly because my workouts bring me peace, stress relief, hope, and mental clarity. I lift weights about 4 days a week sometimes 5. Heavy weights, like more than most men that work out next to me. At the same time I am very petite. I am 5.3 and 125lbs so I look skinny but I am very strong.
Although I haven’t gained weight as a result of the sway I am heavier now than I was before conceiving DD1 and DD2. I am much healthier I feel, and definetely have more muscle which is probably why the scale shows more even though I am the same size in clothes.
My husband has quit smoking. He has been taking Men’s 1 a Day and Fish oil for about a year.
I religiously take my women’s 1 a day (every day for two years) and I also take fish oil and probiotics
I do drink red wine. Maybe 2- 3 days a week at the very very most. Husband has never been much of a drinker but he occasionally has a very modest amount of whiskey to take the edge off. This can be maybe once a week or once a month. Hes not a big drinker
Not that I amso close to my sway nothing feels good enough. Maybe I didn’t eat enough, maybe I should have gained weight, maybe I work out too much, so many thoughts so many worries. Praying that the odds will be in my favor. And that I can calm my nerves a little in the next few weeks.
With DD1 and 2 we had only 1 attempt. Husband smoked, and took heavy medications which he is no longer taking it will be two years this year. I also was an occasional smoker, was skinny, but always had a pretty decent diet.
That is it I think.
