Healthy Journey Day 181

Gratitudes:  Holidays.   Quiet neighborhood runs, Good neighbors

Intentions for the day: Run a mile.  Enjoy the holiday.


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: 118.  I'm guessing the fact that I over fed myself and ate ice cream really didn't help with that.   That's high!




Exercise:  Ran/walked over 2 miles.   We clocked a 12 min mile.  So Awesome!!   That was even up a bit of an incline.  Even walking for parts of it we were still at 12 min.  Feels great!   We are going to have more long runs just to see how we progress!!   I'm feeling wiped now though.  My body wants a nap!

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.
