Today’s News:
I have a headache. Doesn’t surprise me really as it has kind of been hanging around for the last couple of days but it is a bit worse today. I’m pretty confident it is because of the cleanse day I had yesterday and I’ll soon get over it (or not). Unfortunately I get headaches often around here. My city is at 3500’ elevation and because of the altitude, I get headaches – some days are worse than others. Now if I go to Mazatlan… the headaches go away J maybe I need to move. I do not let them prevent me from doing anything though or I wouldn’t be doing anything at all if that was the case.
Otherwise, I feel good! I feel positive, I feel motivated (well except at work), I feel like I’m on the right path…. How about you? A couple of weeks ago, I had a terrific weekend camping, relaxing, carefree, and obviously releasing as I’ve been feeling pretty good since. I’ve not gotten moody (even when Uncle Tom visited), no snappy comments to the BF because he didn’t do something I asked, not too much “down on myself” thoughts or comments. There are a couple of things that could be responsible for this. One, is that I’ve been, well, just letting go of it all. I’ve stopped stressing about the fact that I can’t run, that I’ve been drinking during the summer, that the weight-loss has halted for the last 2 months (no kidding with the beer I drank J ), that my hip decided to flare up really good and put me in extreme pain for two weeks (maybe because I know what it is now). Or two, I’ve been journaling, here and in my own little book. Oh and there is a third, I’ve read some pretty enlightening blogs lately of some very positive people and they’ve gotten me to think and to just relax. I think I’ve been stressin out too much about this weight loss thing and what does stress do to your body??? Yup, it can gain weight. So I’ve let it all go………………
Hot 100 Goals – I’ve got to add one more “Eat Clean”, no more processed food.
Exercise:
I worked on my abs last night and of course did my stretches. I’m being a very good girl with those stretches.
Today, I’m walking at lunch and tonight, stretches.
I see the DR today so will know what I can get moving with in regards to cardio. I have an older elliptical machine at home and I’m quite sure it will be good for me (other than the hip motion, but that will just improve my flexibility). I also have a Bowflex Treadclimber which is very low impact so I’m sure I need to get moving on that again. Will let you know what she says.
And I’ve put on my Polar F11 today to track how many calories it says I burn in an entire day. I’m not sure of the accuracy of this thing but it bases it on my heart rate, age, weight, height. I sit down for my work for almost 8 hours and I am only walking once today so it should be a fairly accurate estimate of a “normal” day for me. I’ll let you know the numbers tomorrow. If I could get a bodyBugg here in Canada, I would.
Food:
100% on target again today. I’m not sure how many calories I’m getting in, but I KNOW it is right as I’m not hungry (mind you I was pretty hungry when I got up this morning because of yesterday’s cleanse). Today is 2x Shakes, snacks and a 400-600 calorie lunch. I need to go buy some Pink Lady Apples … yummmmm
OH and have you heard, I’m now a member of the “Divine Secrets of the Fat Fat Sisterhood”. MWHAAAAAAAAAA
Ttyl,
I hope everyone has a fantastic day and make good choices!!!

From what I've read, heart rate monitors are one of the most accurate ways to measure calorie burn, so I think you should get a pretty good reading from it.
ReplyDeleteI hope your headache goes away!
Of course, eating clean is a good goal. I wish I could fully join in that one. I am close, but not quite there.
ReplyDeleteI hope your headache goes away today.
Good point Steve, not sure if I can be there 100% and putting up a 80/20 rule kind of smells like an excuse to not eat 100% clean. I know it can be difficult but I am going to give it a go.
