Healthy Journey Day 122

You probably have noticed I've changed up my template again.   It is an evolution.  :)   I decided I needed to add in a gratitude section, as I want to acknowledge my blessings.  I do have many!


Gratitudes:  Hard work.   A husband who trusts me with our money and wants to take very good care of me.   (I only hope that I take as good of care of him)  Three good kids.   A project that I can work on with my husband.   We pulled out a fence together.   Working hard together is lots of fun!

Intentions for the day



I am 34 inches thinner from my bust/waist and hips and a size 8's measurements of 36/28/38 on October 7, 2015.  I am following the trainers workout and food plans drink 64 oz of water a day and getting 8 hours of sleep every night.
I 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.

Morning Blood Sugar:  98  I was extremely surprised!


Exercise:  Met with our trainer today.   All outside, lots of cardio.  Ladders, horse and buggy, squats, arms, and chest pulls.  Abs, it was exhausting!   She had us run the ladder attempting to get faster at the ladder...we beat our previous time amazingly (like 15 sec better!).  So surprised!

Breakfast:
Time:8 am
Hunger  Level *:
Ate:waffles and strawberries and whipped cream.  Yum
Comments:  Was probably a little much just before a workout.  Rather felt the food in my stomach during planks and pushups.


Snack:
Time: noon
Hunger Level*:
Ate: smoothie.  Spinach, kefir, chocolate protein powder, 1/4 a banana, powdered greens and fiber
Comments:

Lunch:
Time: 1 pm
Hunger Level*:
Ate:chips and a bite of spaghetti.
Comments: Was working at the property.   My son brought chips and I was getting hungry.

Snack:
Time:4 pm
Hunger Level*:
Ate: Chocolate covered cinnamon bears, a few tootsie rolls.  
Comments:Very tasty.   I have not had them forever!

Dinner:
Time:7 p,
Hunger Level*:
Ate:Rolls with thinly sliced cure 81 (we have the store slice it on their thinnest setting so it is practically shaved.  So yummy!)  A few chips.
Comments:  I was so tired that I thought about cutting a cucumber and it was too difficult.   My body has worked hard today.


Water intake: 40...I don't take water with me places.   I need to find a fool proof way of doing that better.


Daily Wins:  A day full of work, and being outside.  I only had 9314 steps which surprised me, but I definitely feel like I moved a full 10000.  Moving the fence was heavy and hard.  Not sure if that will keep me from getting sore tomorrow, or make it worse!  I am rather sunkissed. :)


Daily goal:
Drink 64 oz water  Complete.   Continue to strive for daily. 
1 fruit, 1 Veg.  Report back on April 3rd.  Should be easy...

I am 2 lbs lighter each week and am 30 lbs lighter on 6/15/15. (From 198 to 168) I am completing my daily trainer workouts, planning my meals, eating as I am hungry and listening to my fullness cues. I get in 10000 steps 6 times a week. I measure my progress with Sunday Morning weigh ins and document it on my blog. I 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.

**Hunger Scale is from 0-10 with zero being absolutely empty, ravenous and 10 being so stuffed that you are absolutely sick.
0--Empty
1--Ravenous
3--Set
4--Pangs
5--Neutral
6.5--Satisfied
8--Full
9--Stuffed
10--Sick
"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.
