Day 50 of my healthy Journey.

Intentions for the day:
Get up early.  Check!   Find the good in today.  Complete my routines.   

Morning Blood Sugar:  106, it went down over night...I was at 109 before having the cheese stick last night.   It is time to revisit what I did when it was looking really good.

Exercise: interval on the treadmill

Breakfast:
Time: 7 am
Hunger  Level *: 3
Ate: half a choc protein milk.  Was still hungry so had a half grapefruit and some oatmeal as well.  Enjoyed some lemon water at 6:30
Comments:

Lunch:
Time: Noon
Hunger Level*: 2
Ate:  Soup with added fajita chicken.   cheese and toast.  Yum!
Comments:  A little worried the chicken wouldn't mesh with the soup but it worked great!   Hopefully the protein will give this meal a little more staying power.  

Snack:
Time:  3-4
Hunger Level*:  2
Ate:  A chia seed pouch.  Cookie dough and cookies
Comments:  Chia seed pouch doesn't sound appetizing, but it wasn't that bad.  Actually had spirulina in it.  Low cal, lots of nutrients almost feeling.   I made cookies for the cute kiddos.  They are so much better than the last ones I made.   Katherines Almond Chocolate Chip just can't be beat!!   

Dinner:
Time:  7 pm
Hunger Level*: 3
Ate:  stew and rolls 
Comments:  really good but not as filling as I thought it should have been.  I felt snacky after and still feel a little hungry. 


Water intake:  64 oz


Daily Wins:  made a great dinner and cookies and still finished my event routine. Got up early and was able to get my morning stuff all done before hubby left and kids woke up.  Feeling really good about my " new beginning" but really tired too. 


2015 Goals:
1.  Post a total of 365 days on the blog
2.  Run a 10 min mile
3.  Squat 95 lbs
4.  Complete morning and evening routines on a daily basis. (100 days straight!)
5.  Weekly meal planning
6.  Run a Half Marathon in October

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level.  Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating.  If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry.  If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating."  Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
