Out of the Fog

I woke up feeling good this morning - the first time in a very long time. Was it the sun and exercise yesterday?  The extra two hours sleep I got Saturday and Sunday mornings?

I need to clarify "good" - my knees, my back, my hand, my stomach, my head - they all hurt. I'm a bundle of breaking down body parts. But I feel - optimistic? As I rolled out of bed, I didn't need to rush to the coffee - my morning mental fog was missing. At the gym, I felt strong and like pushing myself, instead of just going through the motions.

Whatever it is, I would like it to stay.

What Snow?

Walked to and from Metro yesterday to avoid driving in the snow.

What snow?

At least I doubled my mile.

Walk

Before workable walk. Sunny. Fun.

Weigh-In

Lowest weekly average since June!  Down again from last week.  Staying on some form of low-carb, trying to focus on getting enough vegetables.

Not so tough

I tried running some intervals on the treadmill. I quickly got winded, I couldn't even do 3 minutes. Maybe too fast? Anyway, it makes me want to do more because I like the adrenaline from getting the heart rate up.

Walk in the Cold

Took myself around the neighborhood behind the mall where my girl was getting her hair died bright red. It was sunny but quite cold. I ended up at REI where I was looking for fingerless gloves inside mittens. Didn't find that, but got a peachy pair of fingerless mittens- basically wrist warmers with thumb holes. Twenty percent off, too!

Ended up at a chi-chi grocery store (Fresh Market) where I picked up an ingredient for dinner and got an antipasti lunch-olives stuffed with cheese, garlic, sundried tomatoes, marinated mushrooms, and small blobs of marinated fresh mozzarella. Yum! Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours stranded on Rockville Pike.

Too Much

I had a relatively big dinner from the hot food bar at Whole Foods. It would have been better to go portion-controlled frozen dinner, though I loaded up on cauliflower and cabbage versus meat. I probably still underestimated how much butter and oil they use in preparation.

I had my mind set on ice cream as this evening's treat. It really was too much. Good, but too much. I don't think I can afford that much sugar. Even though I didn't want it that badly, I was set I was going to have it. Period.

At least it was very good.
