Woo Hoo!
Got an extension on my book review until the end of the month. So…a responsible academic would get right back into the book & get to work. But then you already know where this is going next…
So…a bit of lovely blog reading to catch up, a long walk, a lot of house cleaning, & then I’ll get right back into that book…you betcha!
Okay, I’m off to see what ya’ll have been up to this past week!
Update: almost caught up on my blog reading…ya’ll been busy! Busy losing, busy lifting, busy traveling, busy making trouble. House isn’t clean, but it’s tidier than when I arrived & that’s a start. & I even had time to make a quiche, clean/freeze strawberries to make into jam when hubby’s less busy, and begin organizing all the research I gathered last week. Phew! Feels good to accomplish something & feels really good not to have to leave for another long road trip. Nice to be home.
Breakfast: HB egg (90)
Lunch: 1/2 serving leftover pasta (300)
Snack: 8 medium strawberries (30)
Subtotal: 420 calories
Dinner: will be quiche lorraine (1/6 total = 316), salad (96)
Subtotal: 832 (368 remaining)
Snack: 20 pretzels (100) & 4 oz sangria (71)
Exercise: 1 hour & 10 min walk in morning; 25-min walk in evening
Tomorrow is my first fasting day…looking at this list, I can see it will be a day filled with veggies, some berries, and an egg or two to fill me up. A little nervous about dropping down to 600 calories…isn’t that silly? It’s not like it’s forever, only for a day.
It is a great morning! Right there with you doing the lovely blog reading…thinking maybe about a walk later. Need to reach your level of dedication. You keep inspiring me!
Looks like you’re on the right track for the fast day w/a lot of high-volume fruits and veggies. They’ll fill you up w/o a lot of calories. 600 does seem kind of low but if it’s only for 1 day it probably can’t be too bad for you.
As far as my new weightlifting plan, it will be much later than Aug/Sept when I start. If we move by the end of Sept or early October I’m going to be happy. We still haven’t broken ground due to a delay in the approval by the homeowner’s association (don’t ask). Anyway, I’m probably not going to start that program until after the 1st of the year so I can ask for the equipment for Christmas unless I come upon a deal at a garage sale, so feel free to start w/o me. I’m going to continue doing Chalean Extreme and adding cardio and then really focusing on my eating.
Good luck with the fasting! Years ago, I used to fast often (like on a daily basis) through breakfast and lunch as a way to cut back on calories. I had no medical reason to do that. It has just always been easier for me to not eat at all than to start eating and have to stop!
