Fitness~~I did Zumba Wii once, Pilate's/Elliptical one day and did yard/garden work one day. There is definitely room for improvement here.
Healthy eating~~I started working on my backyard garden this week. This is part of my ongoing attempt to eating cleaner. I planted strawberry-blueberry-blackberry-raspberry bushes in one bed. The other bed will hold summer veggies. As for my eating report from last week, I had two days over my caloric limit, 1674 & 1362. Reviewing my food log, I can see that my extra calories on both days were from junk/snack eating. Where is my willpower? I had fruit 6 of 7 days, adding extra fruit to my morning oatmeal has definitely helped my weekly fruit count and also allows me to add milk to my diet.
Water~~I had good improvement in my water intake this week. One thing I did was to keep a water glass handy as much as possible, reminding me to drink!
Carbs~~I ate far too much "bad" (white) carbs this week. Needs improvement.
Reflux ~night coughs, but not wet/gurgling coughs that I remember having before. This is a dry cough, but zantac seems to calm it, but it days take time. I cannot remember that last time I had an uninterrupted nights sleep :(
Goals for my week
Zumba wii 2x
Gym 3x
limit white carbs
Thanks for the shout out...unfortunately, my brain doesn't work correctly all the time and I end up eating an entire bag of chocolate covered cherries in one sitting (this weekend!). YIKES! Congrats on maintaining...your accountability and numbers are inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteI struggle with the same things...I lean towards putting up with the reflux to a point. So far I can control it if I manage to stop eating before 8 or 9 ish. Now when I don't..well that is different all together.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are sticking at goal...I hope both our goal weights prove stickable.
xxxooo
Interesting!!
ReplyDeleteDon't be so hard on yourself! Appreciate your successes (gardening is a good thing- eating fresh foods is better than store-bought) and the times that you did exercise is better than none at all. Also great job on the water intake! Keep at it, and reconsider the fill- the hunger really is something that the band was created to control, am I wrong?
ReplyDeleteWith all do respect to Gen, if I could count on my brain for food choices, I wouldn't have needed the band. It must be tough to weight the pros and cons of getting a fill when you have reflux issues. Sorry you are in such a tough spot.
