Mall Morning Walk

Couple of miles. Really no reason not to, other than I didn't want to. Then I was going to cut it short because I was tired and had no energy. But it's just walking, for crying out loud! So I pushed myself to complete the loop I had laid out for myself. Turns out I kept a respectable pace, too.

Better than nothing.

Bike Ride

So yay, I did get outside and on the bike. Very cold when I started. Windy but sunny. I started down the closed part of the parkway, but was so cold I turned around to go uphill first.

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts roasted with olive oil, minced garlic, and vidalia onion. Served with coarse sea salt. Yum!

Turning point

So I toughed out a few days long plateau and the weight has gone down again- to my "floor" of the past decade or so. And, I relaxed and bumped up the carb level slightly- 30-40 net grams. This is my historical downfall.

But, circumstances are different now. Because I have time, I'm better able to plan and manage my food. Plus, the activity level is up. So can I hang in there?

Discouraged

Not a high energy week, in contrast to last weekend. And the weight per scale is steadily climbing UP despite low calories and low carbs in. I imagine its water. I think my total calories were too low this weekend, and I bumped them up this week. This week I also allowed carbs to drift up to 25 versus 20 grams as the target. Maybe I need to push that back down. I'll persist for another week before thinking about a change.

I bought Halloween candy yesterday. I want to be on a restrictive diet that enforces the "none at all" before we get into The Eating Season. But if I have no results, it will be hard to stick to rules.

So much for exercise....

Just spent the last two hours making graphs of my exercise. No food, no exercise, and its the weekend. Time to move!

Shamed into moving

Today I actually felt good, and the weather was perfect. But, I couldn't arrange the schedule to get out and walk. Early in the morning, I felt way less good and just sat around doing nothing before work.

So just now, lying on the couch reading Younger Next Year, the exercise chapters, I got up and took the kindle down to the treadmill and walked while I read. Forty minutes. Yay me.
