Healthy Journey Day 153

Gratitudes:  Feeling stronger in daily activities.  Chocolate.  A costco close to my house.  Yummy steak!


Intentions for the day:  Laundry


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: 97  I was pleasantly surprised and yet confused.  Normally milk and chocolate send my sugar higher,  not today.  




Exercise: We ended up with a 2 hour workout.  Started with Jonathon's from Friday, then the supersets we were assigned.   Biceps triceps, lat rows, pushups, lunges, squats,  All 10 lb weights and 20 reps x 3.  I skipped the weights on my squats and lunges as it feels better on my elbows.   We then ran a ladder...a very slow one, but one for good measure.  :)

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.
