Healthy Journey Day 94

I will drop 34 inches total from my bust/waist and hips in order to be at a size 8's measurements of 36/28/38 by October 7, 2015.  I will do this by following the trainers workout and food plans drink 64 oz of water a day and getting 8 hours of sleep every night.
I will track this by completing my measurements every 4 weeks and weighing in weekly. My expectation is to see a decrease of approximately 5 inches per month.


Intentions for the day:  Get my blood drawn, clean kitchen


Morning Blood Sugar:  101




Exercise:  Erik video with lots of interruptions from an impatient 3 year old.   3 minutes of crunches to the middle and each side.  1 1/2 min wall squat, 50 sec plank, 3 sets of 15 pushups.  Lost count on the last set as a little boy decided to sit on my back!

Hunger Level*:
Ate: a sugar cookie
Comments:I also had a banana at 5 pm

Dinner:
Time:7 pm
Hunger Level*:
Ate: spaghetti and meatballs, leftover from last night, half a roll, a piece of pizza, an egg roll.
Comments:  I was STARVING again.  Maybe today wasn't the best day to choose to fast for a blood draw.   We were running so much I barely had time to think about food this afternoon.  My daughter had middle school orientation!   I can't believe it!!  She can't be that old!!  Still feel a little hungry...but I bet the rest of the water for the day will take care of that.   Really want to dig into a nice big bowl of ice cream!


Water intake: 64 oz



Daily Wins:  Got the kitchen cleaned...washed the dishes that have been hanging out in the sink for almost a week... my blood was drawn.

I will drop 2 lbs each week until 6/15/15 resulting in a 30 lb decrease in my weight. (From 198 to 168) In order to achieve this I will do my daily trainer workouts, plan my meals, eat as I am hungry and listening to my fullness cues. I will get in 10000 steps 6 times a week. I will measure my progress with Sunday Morning weigh ins and document it on my blog. I will stick to a regular bedtime and only be on the computer/electronics with a timer. My aim is to feel energetic and strong. Feeling good in my own skin.

"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.
