Healthy Journey Day 124

Gratitudes:  The sabbath day.  It is nice to have a day to reset and restart.  Church.  Primary.  The kids sang with the ward choir in Sacrament meeting.  They did beautifully!  I still don't have my full singing voice back, and yet they sang well...even my two boys.  I was so proud, I got choked up at the end.  :) 

Intentions for the day: A restful 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: 103, not surprising with all the carbs I ate last night,  I think the pie was a little over kill (it was a small slice...)

Weigh In:  196.2   Down 2 from last week,  Looking at my trend I drop two, then Gain two, but over all in the last 3 months I am down 0.6 lbs total.  Better than nothing!

Exercise: went for a walk with the kiddos this evening.  Planned on a leisurely stroll.  They wanted to ride their bikes so it ended up a quick run/walk!

Breakfast:
Time:10 am
Hunger  Level *:
Ate:snickers salad
Comments: Realized I was hungry...no wonder!   Trying to figure out my plan for primary as I had both Sharing and singing time to cover.   Kept me occupied and not thinking of food.

Lunch:
Time:
Hunger Level*:
Ate:Rather skipped!
Comments:

Dinner:
Time:4:30
Hunger Level*:
Ate:Came home extremely hungry from church.  Ham rolls, shrimp salad, snickers salad a few chips.
Comments:  Sundays are hard food days for me. 

Snack:   8 pm after the family "walk":
Milk with chocolate protein powder (we are out of the ovaltine I originally wanted), emergen-C. 

Water intake:  40 oz



Daily Wins:  Got outside.  Today was the first time I hadn't spent any time outside all week.  That is amazing for me.   It felt good to get moving!   I started looking at figure competitions.   I may be crazy but I think I could do one.  Not sure I am willing to parade on stage in a bikini, and it would take a huge amount of effort to be ready for one.   Something to think about though.  (Just looking into them was a little motivating so that is the win!)


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

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.
