Made it through another on-plan day. I didn’t track calories, but I watched my eating and ate only on-plan foods on the same schedule that I’ve been following for the last three days. Only drank 16 oz of water today. We had thunderstorms at our walking time, so I decided to get on the treadmill and I did day 1 of the 13 week beginning running program. I did 50 minutes of 30 minute jogs interspersed with 4 1/2 minute walks. I loved it!
Another great on-plan day. Stayed within calories. Didn’t get enough water. Have I ever said how much I hate drinking water? I’m only doing it because I think my body wants it. I did go walking tonight. Didn’t make it for the full 3.9 miles. My stomach cramped up about 2/3 of the way into it and I had to make a ‘wog’ to the house…up a hill! Yikes, almost didn’t make it. I was saying some heavy duty prayers….more like heavy duty pleading!…that I’d make it to the bathroom in time. I’m happy to say that I did.
I’m getting myself psyched to enter the realm of vegetables. I’ve never been a big vegetable lover, but I want to start eating more of them. I just think they are incredibly healthy. I just need to learn to make them taste good. I’ll probably buy a vegetarian cookbook soon. No, I don’t want to give up meat at this time. I like meat.
Yeah, I messed up yesterday’s date.
Day 2 went well. Didn’t drink as much water, but stayed just at 1500 calories and walked the 3.9 miles again. The walk was a bit tougher tonight as I wasn’t feeling as energetic, but I’m glad I followed through. Now, I get the opportunity to enjoy my victory over myself!
Yep, we’re on day 1 again. Today went well. Total of 1470 calories for the day. Walked 3.9 mile…in the rain. Boy, do I feel that in the old buttocks and thighs!
I’m afraid to give up the comfort of my food. When absolutely nothing else is going well with my life, I can always count on my food. Silly, huh?
