Day 6 - Success!!

So, yesterday was a good day.  I ate on plan with one exception. I was really nauseated yesterday afternoon so I did have some crackers.  Not a sleeve of crackers, just a few to help settle my stomach.  Normally, I would eat the whole sleeve.  Ultimately, a "Yay me." moment.

I managed to get myself up and moving like planned.  I used my Echo to set a timer for every 30 minutes and got up and walked around the outside of the house.  The first time, I did a lap around the house but it was only a little over a hundred steps.  That's not super helpful.  I ended up doing 3 laps instead.  I thought about it and realized that I can do a lap around the entire property.  We are lucky enough to have the 2 lots next to us as well.  After the next 30 minutes, I did that and it was about 500-550 steps.  Much Better! Then I had to modify the time because every 30 minutes was interrupting my "work" and I was stopping in the middle of things too often.  I modified it to 45 minutes and that was helpful.  My step count for the day was 4523 steps.  While it isn't my goal of 7500-10000 per day, it's progress and infinitely better than what I was doing (A 2000 step day was a good day).  I'm pretty sure my steps will be higher today because I'm starting earlier than yesterday.

Oh.  The sad thing is my legs and lower back are so sore just from doing that.  It used to take a hard core workout to do that to me.  It just shows me how much I've lost because I gave up on myself.

Alright, today's food plan:

Breakfast:  Shakeology

Lunch:  Small portion of enchilada casserole

Dinner:  Greek yogurt with berries, GF granola and chia seeds

Snack (if necessary):  cherries or melon

Exercise:  Continue doing the laps around the property every 45 minutes.

Well, this year I want to become more healthier and have lost 35 lbs (that's about 7 lbs per month which is not unreasonable) and I will achieve this by December 31st of this year.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!  Haha! Right. 😀

Oh yeah!  I figured out emojis on Blogger.
