Day 1

I stayed up too late last night and so didn't jump out of bed like I had hoped.  I did most of my morning routine before taking the kids to school.   I've started doing my morning reading on the fit desk down in our exercise room. I love that it gives me a little extra movement in the day.

Just as a preface. I do not believe in counting calories. Intuitive eating goes by the premise that your body knows what it needs you just need to listen to what it is saying.   In an effort to listen better I am writing down what I eat and sharing it.   I find that I take a moment and listen better if I know I will be writing it down.  

Intake for today:

7:30 banana

9:30 two eggs and sweet potato hash

12:30 leftover tuna noodle casserole with tomatoes and veggies

1:30 hotdog (no bun)

2:00 Grapes
2:30 Ningxia Red

4:00 pepper jack cheese and ritz crackers

5:50 a quarter of an ice cream sandwich

6:00 pan fried cheeseburger.  Our propane went out and I had to improvise.  :)  Really not hungry now so skipped the veggies. 

64 oz of water total. 

It is a Gold star day!  completed both my morning and evening routines entirely.  Feeling great!

For exercise I ran a 2:1 interval on the treadmill. This was 2 minutes at 4 mph followed by 1 min recovery at 3 mph.  I wore my heart rate monitor and it seems that my lack of activity after my appendectomy 7 weeks ago caught up to me.  This is a pic of my treadmill.  Almost 30 min and 1.65 miles.  That will be improving shortly.  😄  I am almost to 8500 steps.  Goal is to get 10,000 tonight.  wish me luck!
