No real news to report
I've been exercising 30 minutes every day. I write down my food intake and stay within the 1,300 calories. But no weight or inches loss this week. That makes a person really discouraged.
I do have a weakness and that is nuts. I began this week by adding MUFAs with each meal, my only problem I don't add just one I add several. Like several servings of nuts. So, I have to work at controlling that. In fact, all the walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and olives I woke to feel the old enemy back...swelling. My rings are so tight and my midsection feels huge today -- yikes! I was doing so well, too.
Speaking of doing so well...have you ever noticed that when you start doing well, eating the right foods and feeling thin and then you go and brag about it that BAM, your back to your old habits or things start to increase again??? I was talking to my friend Michelle the other day and we both agreed this happens.
I am laying off the salty foods today. No nuts PERIOD. I will drink plenty of H2O. I will keep my 1,300 calories. and I Will limit my food intake to only meals.
OK. confession time...I did blow it a bit yesterday. Yesterday I was out of sinc with my routine. My daughter had to have surgery on her foot and we had to be at the hospital by 6:15. So that meant no morning exercising. My eating routine was different as well. So I wanted to snack all day it seemed. So, maybe it wasn't the nuts and olives that I've consumed from Sunday through Thursday. Maybe it was the snacking I did yesterday. Oh, I did manage to do my exercising although it wasn't 30 minutes, more like 20 minutes in the late evening.
I will do SO FAR -- Stop. Open (take some deep breaths). Forgive (write down what I do right) Accept (what I did or didn't do). Return (I'm back on track).
I'm off to do some journalling. Hope everyone is doing great. Hang in there the weekend is upon us.
PS My daughter's surgery took an hour. We we home by 11:30. She is resting. She is able to put some weight on her foot and will be wearing a special shoe for 8 weeks. The doctor loaded her foot up with pain meds. So she wasn't in pain yesterday or last night. Today may be a different story, though.
