Yup, I like it… have always liked it when we went back an hour in the fall. I have always naturally woken up at 5:00 a.m. and now that 4:00 a.m., is Saturday’s 5:00 a.m., I’m a happy early morning exerciser. No problems getting up today, felt more refreshed than I have been on a Monday morning… in a long time. I’m finding my exercising needs to be vamped up a bit because what used to raise my heart rate (before the learning to run), no longer does and so I need to kick it up a notch or two. I need to push my limits without pushing my hip but I need to raise the effort. Honestly, it’s a nice feeling to be aerobically in better shape than I have been in a very long time. I’m also going to start the strength training this week – planning on three sessions.
My food sucked on the weekend. Again, I didn’t eat enough. I get busy and if we are out, then it’s really not good. Saturday I had a piece of WW toast with PB, and then didn’t eat anything again until dinner which consisted of Chinese food. I’ll be trying to get that sodium out of my body for a couple of days. But we were busy with moving, unloading and winterizing the trailer, that I just didn’t have the energy to cook anything… so we ordered out. Easier on me, but harder at the same time. This place doesn’t use MSG but I know it’s still pretty fattening.
NO candy either. We have it at home but I’m not in the least interested in it (maybe next week when good ole uncle T shows up). Very few children stopped by on Saturday…..They say it is because parents are afraid the children will get the H1N1 flu … people here are just getting plain duh about this flu here in this city !!!
I also weighed and measured on Sunday but there wasn’t much of a change to be even remotely happy about. My own fault, no one by me to blame… but there was no upward motion (in fact lost a bit in my upper back area) so I’m still happy… considering what Sept/October were like. Now I’ve just got to make Nov/December that much more to make up for it.
Hope everyone is having a FANTASTIC day and making good choices.

Hey Sandra, I know what you mean about the candy, it doesn't do a thing for me at all. Glad you got your workout in. I keep forgetting to eat lunch and end up piecing together weird food combos to make up for it. Not good. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteNo upward motion is great. We all want to lose, but not gaining is a degree of success.
