Healthy Journey Day 178

Gratitudes:  Books, electronic and otherwise.  Public Schools and teachers.  Libraries

Intentions for the day: Clean Kitchen go to the store


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: 104

Exercise:  Ran the circle.   Tried our fit test.  After yesterday we were sore and tired still, but still managed to get 1.78 miles according to map my run.   We also ran 2 straight ladders without walking.  A few weeks ago we "had" to walk at the 1 1/2 mark.

Lunch:
Time:12
Hunger Level*:
Ate:Girl scout crunch bars.  Found them as a limited edition at Sams Club.  I went to the store hungry and instead of buying the salad that looked really good I bought treats and ate them on the way home.   I don't know why I talked myself out of the salad and into the treats.  Either way they tasted good.

Water intake: 32,  had a hard time getting in the water today.   I'm extra tired.  Read a book until 1 am again.   So not a good choice.  I definitely crave/eat more when I am tired. 


Daily Wins:  Took a trip to the store.  Stocked the business up again.  Started the dishwasher.  A great exercise session.  10000 steps.   Kids had no cavities at the dentist.  YAY!  Called my endo to get results of my ultrasound.  (It's about time I did!  It was a frustrating phone call, but at least I made it!)

Daily goal:
Drink 64 oz water  Complete.   Continue to strive for daily. 
1 fruit, 1 Veg. 
One load of laundry to completion:  wash-dry-fold-put away

1.  Post a total of 365 days on the blog

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

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.
