Monday July 15 Cardio & Cafe

Morning all!  I did oversleep a bit this morning but I hopped on the treadmill and off I walked for my 30 minutes.  I am now walking at 2.5 mph daily which when I look at the speed I walked beginning 3/7/2013 which was 1.8 mph is an amazing situation!  I am going to be bumping up the speed again this week because I don't feel like I am pressing myself enough.  Never thought I would be thinking that!!!  I am continuing to walk each evening too and this week I will be researching low impact exercises.  I really need to strengthen my abs!!  Not doing too shabby for a 60 yr old lady.

 

Breakfast:  Protein Shake

Lunch: Chicken Salad, fat free dressing

Snack: Dannon lite n fit yogurt/ celery

Dinner:  Baked Chicken, green beans possible salad

Snack:  Cheese and Crackers

Remember all those vits and continue to drink lots of water!!

Good Morning Debra and Botts:

 

I got my fanny out of bed at 5:30 AM along with hubby and we went and walked for 2.5 miles through the neighborhood.  I really do love getting up and out there but it the getting up that gets in my way sometimes.  My eats for today are:

 

Breakfast:  Quest Protein Bar

Snack:  Grapes

Lunch:  Quest Protein Bar

Snack:  Cheese & Crackers

Dinner:  Chicken wraps

Snack:  NSA Ice Cream Bar

 

I hope everybody has an awesome start to the week and remembers those vits and fluids.

I really overslept.  I disarmed the alarm instead of just hitting the snooze..  My back and shoulder pain is not letting me sleep well and I am tired of the pain pills.  I think is the weather - it has been raining every day for at lest 1 month (probably longer). a lot of my friends have issue with the dampness and humidity.  My coworker had to go to teh back doc , since she could not even get out of the shower by herself.  And we can't NSAIDS.. bummer.. 

I ate more carbs over the weekend and I got the gas.... lol... The carbs were good carbs- veggies and fruits... but the extra fiber make it "fun" (not really) over the weekend... I am glad my BF have a good sense of humor... 

I think due to the carbs and swelling - my weight is way up this morning... but I will work on that.  On a good note - my BP is also up (extar fluids) so at least I am not dizzy... 

Have fun... the week is just started... 

Hey everyone!  I'm finally back.  Today I am 5 weeks post TT and feeling great.  It's time to start tracking my food again now that I'm feeling back to normal.  It feels good to be back!

Got the vitamins and supplements in. Now working on lots of water and decaf tea.  

Went to a morning Zumba Class and started work 30 minutes later than usual. I hope to do that Mon, Wed, and Fri this summer while we have a wonderful nanny for the summer. Drenched in sweat when I arrived at work but workout was done for the day and anything after is gravy. Posting early because we are at the waterfron****ching the kids' nanny and her sister play softball -- they are quite talented. Hot but beautiful night for a game.
