It's that Co-incidence again....

Today’s News:

I was reading the May/June 09 Muscle& Fitness Hers  on the weekend (I’m trying to catch up on my magazines) and an article on Eat FAT to Fight FAT caught my eye. I have a fridge full of Flaxseed Oil, Primrose Oil caps, Udo’s 3-6-9, CLA and I am always good at starting something but never good with following through long term. But this article reminded me how important it is to take these supplements. I eat almonds everyday so I’ve pretty much gotten some type of good fat but I do know I need to supplement with more. So after checking the expiry date on all the bottles, I’ve started taking them again with my meals. This means I have a pretty big mitt full of pills I take because they couldn’t have made any of those capsules any smaller, but whatever… I’m going to try to be consistent and take them everyday.  So where does the co-incidence come in, I was just reading some more blogs I’m following and this one came up  EFA Article. So there you have it, twice in a couple of days is enough for me to remind me of something I already knew and to smarten up and finish what I start J

 

My Foot:

It is feeling much better today but still sore to walk on. I’ve been trying to walk as straight on my foot as I can because other parts of my legs are hurting because I’ve been walking funny to compensate for the pain in my foot. My calf muscle in the leg with the sore foot is getting very tight and I’ve had to stretch it frequently. It’s kind of a domino effect on my body… I just can’t seem to win.

 

Day 3:

Last night ended with no late night snacking – Yeah me!! My calorie count for dinner was a bit high after I calculated it all today but whatever. I filled a whole-wheat pita with tuna and lots of veggies and sprouts and I didn’t realize that the fresh healthy pita pocket was so many calories (it was a large one). But I’m sure in the end it was OK.

Then I did a Pilates flexibility DVD to see how it would work for me and I enjoyed it. Felt these tight muscles stretching pretty good. I’m pretty sure it is something I should do every day. I was thinking before I went to bed but am hoping it won’t wake me up too much if you know what I mean.

And today should be another good day of eating, well within the calorie range. Something I’ve noted to myself is the absence of the BF the last 3 nights (he is busy training Kate to retrieve ducks etc.  in time for hunting season) and therefore there has been no bad eating and absolutely no alcohol. I’m not saying he is a bad influence but well… maybe I am.

 

Exercise – I woke up at 4 this morning but didn’t get up. Not sure why as it really is the best time for me to exercise. The house is cool and it gets me moving for the rest of the day. All I was going to do was an exercise band session so no cardio. So since I missed it this morning, I’m doing it tonight when I get home.  Still can’t walk much faster than probably 2.5 mph with the foot so not getting any walking cardio in just yet. Hopefully by the weekend it will be better as we are going camping again.

 

Yikes – camping. I’ve got to get myself psyched about that so that I don’t drink too much or eat wrong. Got to keep the correct mojo going.

 

Hope everyone has a fantastic day.
