Healthy Journey Day 149

Gratitudes: Sunny day and exercising in it. (now that I am done with the exercise I can say I am grateful)   Realizing that I am getting stronger.   Hot showers.

Intentions for the day: Clean house...people coming over tonight.

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: 101


Exercise: Ladders with planks, pushups and wall sits in between.  Sure felt tired especially after yesterday, but did it!   We measured the ladder length...it is 0.15 miles.  So we went about a mile today with the 6 ladders we completed.

Comments: My brother and wife came for dinner, it was really good, and lots of fun to visit.  The kids pulled out all the stops for them.   B was running around like crazy and being extremely silly.  I think he wore himself out though. 


Water intake:  70 oz


Daily Wins:  over 10000 steps.  A yummy dinner.  Workout even though I didn't feel like it.  A clean kitchen.  Surprisingly easier than expected.  I have not done the dishes for tonight but it still looks cleaner than it was earlier today.

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.
