3 day streak....

Morning-Pretty good day yesterday. I ate very reasonable, although I was more hungry than I thought after my lunch smoothie. Now remember, none of my ISA items have come yet so I am just making better choices at home. And for day 2 using MFP I really did a great job, in my opinion, keeping track of what I ate and even the amounts. I was feeling pretty good and energetic that I decided to take a walk along the bike trail. I set my iPod timer for 30 min, figured I would go that far and then a 30 min back for a good hour walk. I ended up really enjoying myself and walking a little over a hour. Later I found some program that maps your walk so you can figure the distance. I walked 3.25 miles. Impressive. I would love to make this my thing. Weather depending of course. But it was so relaxing and nice just to be outside and walking at my own pace without having to think about anything.

This morning I also decided to cut back to one cup of coffee. It was 20oz size and I drank almost all of it. However, I tossed it at 9 and started on my water. Baby steps. And lots of bathroom trips. LOTS of bathroom trips.


Afternoon-I find that if I write here and there during work, it's super easy to copy and past into my blog when I get home and then finish the rest of it. Which is why some days you will see morning and afternoon posts.

Because my shins were still sore when I got home from work and that it rained and is only 50 out, I didn't walk outside. I did get 35 min of walking in on my treadmill. I made a salad after getting E her dinner and then sat down and logged it on MFP. 3 days in a row I have logged. I think that I have just enough calories for a small treat. Thinking hot chocolate on this grey day would be perfect. And that is where I am at now. Thinking & playing a numbers game. I wanted to stay in the 1400 to 1200 range for the day. 1400 based on a good workout day. My Fitbit told MFP that I earned 510 extra calories for the day. I am at 1441 for the day. Is a 100 calorie hot chocolate going to put another pound on me..no. But the numbers will be so OVER what I planned. See, head games, over thinking, too much time on my hands and all of that crap.


I am having the hot chocolate. 3 day streak. I can afford a hot chocolate after the kids are in bed.


I also decided to let C know what I did. Well a few details. I told him after my 30 days were up I would let him know the cost. I also told him that no matter how much he thinks this is not going to work, he needs to support and encourage me regardless of his hesitations.

 Tomorrow my kit should be here. I am kinda excited, kinda nervous. I still have to take my measurements. I have decided to measure my upper arms, waist and thighs. I think those 3 areas are the most noticeable and the easiest to track. I did take my before pictures on Saturday. From what I read you measure and take pictures on the 11th day and again on the 30th-last day. I am trying to soak up as much as I can before I start.
