1 mile done and 30 min of Billy Blanks Tae Bo (today is arms and
shoulders with Supreme 90 Day and I needed an arm workout without extra
shoulder stress!)
Still logging and planning food - and a small
NSV in my brain :-) I have been keeping a bottle of water by my bed and
trying to drink it in the morning with my coffee. And I don't like
it.. I like my coffee :-) This morning (on cup #2), I had my usual
guilty glance at the bottle and thought.. I don't want that, I want more
coffee. And the NEXT thought... in the very next instant... was......
but coffee dehydrates me and I want that less. And I drank the
water. And, yes, I then moved on to cup #3. BUT got the water in - I
was surprised and pleased by my automatic thought and reaction. THAT
is the real NSV - a small noticeable LIFE CHANGING behavior.
Today
is an algebra class for my son (one hour transit each way) and an
evening event at my church.... and heading for the beach tomorrow!
Temps are as cold in OBX as they are here but with WIND! But for me, my
annual March retreat allows me a chance to re-group without a ton of
family commitments. AND a chance to plot out the next 6 months of
goals...... depending on how many of my peeps come with me, of course.
But, at a minimum, I lose the distraction of vacuuming and household
management.... it scales down to a couple of people and a little
condo... instead of large house, pets, yard, errands, apts, church
stuff, etc., etc. etc......
I am mostly packed and just
fitting in final stuff today - like the weekly plant watering and
winding up the laundry.. will update more later... it's gonna be a
great day!

Day 4/90
All in all, yesterday was pretty good - considering that I spent most of
it running errands! And when I came home I tackled our burn pile - so
spent a couple of hours outside raking garden plots and burning the old
dry pile.
The big FAIL was last night. I did log my food... I was short a couple of proteins still after dinner and I didn't get my carbs until after lunch.... I noticed this as an observation. After dinner, I did the dishes and noticed that I was hungry. I decided to have a bottle of water and my shower and see if I could wait it out. I was ravenous after my shower... but said... hey, I can do this.
Next trip to the kitchen was disaster. I snagged a piece of cake that was on the counter. Not even very good (which is WHY my family hadn't gotten to it already!) and DEF did not handle the hunger issue... so I ate a piece of string cheese..... followed by a KIND bar..... and after that.... bread with peanut butter. Just couldn't seem to fill up. Consequently I had all those calories - AND all that food to digest as I went to sleep.
So this morning I have a nasty headache and am grouchy. I learned - okay RE-learned - that a) processed sugar products (CAKE) do not fill me up, they only add calories and hunger to my already hungry self and b) I sleep and wake a whole lot healthier and happier if I stop eating within a couple of hours before I sleep and c) my FEELINGS of hunger are not always that. I am not yet in a place where I can trust my FEELINGS alone.
I do have my first mile done this morning and will do a cardio dvd in a few minutes. I am home today so will see what opportunities I can find to get more movement in!

Okay - so the dvd didn't happen - mostly because of a houseful sleeping young adults and then getting ready for the my week getaway at the beach. But in spite of the cold - I did get another half mile.. and when I remember that yesterday was supposed to be a rest day (and I did a dvd anyway).. well, that's grace :-) Food went very well and is all logged.... I have a snack lined up for tonight IF NEEDED.... good progress! Leaving Saturday morning for the week - and busy much of tomorrow so still a good bit to do!
