Healthy Journey Day 169

Gratitudes:  Running.   I can run faster than I have in a long time.  Feeling good!   Hot showers.    When exhausted after a workout they sure feel good.   Good friends.   Its nice to have a friend to talk to.  ;)  I've talked to a couple this week.   Its nice!

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:  110.  The roast didn't counteract the potatoes and rolls...oh well.


Exercise: Workout with the trainer.   We ran the circle a few times, one legged deadlifts with pushups, wall squats and planks.   Held the plank for 2 minutes the first time.  It felt extra hard!   Abs and stretches afterwards.

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.

"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.
