Day 4: Whole 34

Published July 29, 2016 Daily report , Exercise , Uncategorized , Whole30 Leave a Comment

Sleeping still an issue. What’s up with that?

Ran in the am. C5K week 5, day 3. 20 minutes non-stop run with warm-up walks before and after. Felt good. 60 minutes yoga over lunch, which helped with hip tightness.

No meditation or devotional. Have to figure out how to find time when I am busy at lunch.

Breakfast: At home, steam-sauteed veggies, one egg and some pork roast. Delicious.

Snack: None. Not hungry 🙂

Lunch: Repeat of last night’s dinner, but with two slices meat loaf with Whole 30 ketchup in place of chicken. So delicious

One cup of Twinnings breakfast tea at 3 pm to help combat tiredness.

Dinner: Two slices of meatloaf prior to grad party. Water only at party (was tired and didn’t really want to be there, although it was quite lovely)

Bloat tea while watching TV when we got home.

Ambien and Progesterone at 10:45, to bed at 11 pm and took a second Ambien at 11:30 ARGH!

As I got up to take my am cocktail of two gummy vitamins and three Advil, my DH asks if this is sugar in the Gummies. Sigh. Of *course* there is. So I did a little research and ordered Pure Vitamins. And while I was surfing, Amazon recommended Whole 30 approved, RxProtein Bars, so I ordered those, too!

Day 3: Whole 24

Got to figure out what’s keeping me awake. On Tuesday night ended up taking two Ambien plus an Alteril, so slept in late, thus no morning exercise, and groggy most of Wednesday. Argh!

Breakfast: Four slices bacon from US Wellness Foods and two over easy eggs. Should have added veggies.

Lunch: Two pouches tuna, one cups chopped veggies from Trader Joes.Healthy 8 Chopped Veggies mixed with Tessamae’s Sugar-Free Ranch dressing. One cup sliced strawberries and blueberries.

Dinner: Made dinner for my mother. Well Fed’s best chicken ever and cucumber recipes, beets (no sugar added), water.

Snacks: Between lunch and dinner, one Chomps snack stick. About 9 pm had another chicken breast with one small tub of Wholly Guacamole.

Less than 6,000 steps. Day 14 of Deepak/Oprah meditation series done.

Onward and upward!

Day 1: Whole 24

Beginning weight 196.8

Haven’t had a bm  in two days so most likely a little of a false high. Take my measurements this morning, but will do so tomorrow morning.
Exercise: 45 minutes with Fran

Breakfast: three meat and egg breakfast muffins. Pretty delicious smelled wonderful. Was hungry again and hour and a half later so get a pear.

Lunch: one can of Cosco chicken breast mixed with quarter cup avocado oil. Added 10 cherry tomatoes for color and texture. Also, half cup of fresh blueberries.

Dinner: DH is out until eight so I am out on my own for supper. Planning on one slice of meatloaf plus two sweet potato.

Snack: a hard-boiled egg
Looked online to remind myself exactly how to expect to feel. Did not sleep well last night so I am a little groggy today. Plus, of course, the bm bloat.
Another piece of this journey that in think will help is meditation. Did day 10 of the Oprah/deepak series getting unstuck.

Summertime = living large

Trying again. After losing 12 pounds and then eschewing the ww program from mid-May to now (end of lax year festivities and then right into grad party season) I am up 7lbs. It’s been fun – fast food eaten with abandon, drinking wine every night. Drinking wine every night! 

Even with all that, I felt like it was sustainable. Especially because I was training to walk/run half marathon. Well as the seven pounds shows, maybe not so sustainable.

So I’m thinking that I will do another whole 30. I put my weight watchers meeting membership on hold (at least converted it online only) and I am wrapping up. I first I thought I would start it on July 15, because the thought of doing something on the first or 15th or 30th appeals to the anal-retentive side of me. But in looking at activities, prep time, my plan is/was to do it on the 18th. However, I’m now tentatively planning to drive to Memphis for a funeral , so not sure if I should wait till I get back, or try to adhere to it while I am there and eating out. Even after saying it out loud, I realize it will be very difficult to begin when I am traveling.

As an a side, I did continue my CT5K training again today. Felt pretty damn good!
