Thanks!
Thanks for all of the support and great goal ideas!
I went to the Y last night and did Zumba. This class on Monday night was only 40 minutes, so I actually felt disappointed. My Sunday class is 50 minutes. And, the Sunday class used to be 60 minutes! I felt like I could do another class. And I was down on my steps. So after Health Circle, I quick ran to the Wellness Center and jumped on a treadmill. I figured: 20 minutes. And, I told myself I am going to do 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes jog, 5 minute cool down. Now bear in mind, the longest I jogged in a row was 6 minutes. I typically do 35 minutes on a treadmill. 5 minute warm up and cool down included in that time and then jog 6 minutes, walk 3-5, jog 6 minutes, walk 3-5, etc. I kept looking at the timer after I got past 6. it was rough, but I did it! I jogged for 10 straight minutes at 4.6 mph! Woo Hoo for me! And I got over 11k steps yesterday as a result.
Water not so good yesterday. Only 29 ozs. So today going to try to do better. And, my calories all day were really low. So I got home last night at 8:30pm and was starving, especially after all that exercising. So then, I ate! I was really frustrated. Now, I added all my calories in and was only at 1700. But I continued to eat, even after I was hungry. So that snacking out of boredom in front of the tv at night remains a challenge for me.
Great goal ideas! Going to do 1 week goals for now. Baby steps. Will start on Sunday as that is the logical beginning of the week and I weigh myself on Sundays. So just going to focus on getting myself together the rest of this week. I think first goal is 1 week no junk food or take out. Then each week, I will focus on 1 thing.
work continues to be a stressor and I am kind of burnt out. I think one day soon I will take a mental health day.
