Listening to my body
Current weight: 229 (-3 from yesterday)
I made it through w/o eating pancakes last night but I did eat lots of other stuff so I didn’t earn my food star for the day. I am very proud of myself, though, for not chucking it all and pigging out once I lost my star.
The last 2 afternoons I have been craving salt and this is typically not something that I crave. I think it’s due to the fact that I’m working out so much more and it has been dangerously hot around here all week. I have read that when you workout a lot that you need to be careful not to eliminate too much salt from your diet b/c you sweat so much of it out. For that reason I allowed myself to have some salted nuts the last 2 afternoons after the gym. Most of my diet is very low in sodium and I figure that if my body is craving salt then I will give it some.
I bought a pair of size 14 pants today as my goal pants for the first day of school. I still have the size 12 dress as motivation, my goal is to wear that to my son’s benefit at the end of September.
Today I did my CE workout and the 20 minute TJ. Later in the morning, after watching the news and realizing it’s not going to cool down in the near future I decided to tackle some outside chores. I was trimming some trees for only about 45 minutes but it’s so hot and humid that my entire shirt was drenched, and it was only 9:30 am! This afternoon I went to the gym and put in an hour on the treadclimber. I love the gym in the summer, it’s so empty and I can have it nearly to myself!!
Off to see what all of you are doing.
Progress toward workout goal: 45/300
