Hi all!
Another drop on the scale for me today, to 277.2. So, still not my low, but within a pound. I don't know if it's my weight finally catching up to my plan, or if turning up the exercise was what I needed to get it to move. Either way, I'm happy to see it move, especially after my high sodium, higher calorie day yesterday. But yesterday I also got this little reward on my FitBit dashboard:
And I actually finished the day at 7.62 miles, with walking around the house before bed. Today, I'm going to add my heart rate monitor into the mix just to get an accurate calorie log for my workouts.
Radiojane - I intentionally scheduled our visit for near the end, so most of the foodstuffs would be gone, and most of the stuff I'd wanna buy would be sold! I ended up spending 29 dollars (5 dollars for 6 entries in a quilt raffle that a group from our church was doing - they made the 2 quilts) and then 24 dollars on a hand beaded necklace and earring set. Hubby spent a dollar on a soda.... and that was our $30 limit that we set, so we *couldn't* buy food without going over our budget.
Diane - These weekends in the holiday season are kinda crazy... that's why I decided to start the 5:2, because it's kinda like calorie cycling, so I could have higher calorie days on the weekends! It seems to be working well so far. And I hear you on the workouts. I assume there's some water retention going on for me from starting that... even though it's not that super intense of a workout, it's still enough to wear me out after 40 minutes!
MissLoud - Oh the picking at food sitting around. I've done that so much over the last month because of all the goodies given to my husband for pastor appreciation month. I think it's just one of those things that will require a lot of willpower with the holidays coming up!
To everyone else - I hope you're having a wonderful day!
