This morning's weight: 221.2 -- an improvement! Maybe it was all those vegetables.
I looked up recipes using seitan as a substitute for meat. Tomorrow's task: make the seitan and start trying new recipes.
Exercise: I did the 10 minute tape that I use as a warm up, then did about 15 minutes of lower body resistance exercise. Later in the day I found that there were large branches and lots of vines blocking the gate at the end of the driveway. It took an hour to hack and pull them out of the way so I got a bonus exercise session done.
Water intake has been good and food also reasonable. Tonight will be largely a re-run of yesterday's dinner; lots of veggies and some chicken breast.
Budding realization: I have become accustomed to expecting to feel full whenever I eat. I start to think I am hungry when I no longer feel full. It is disgusting to see that, but I guess I need to keep experiencing the ways I've "gone wrong" in weight loss/fitness. I must remember that I am working to establish life habits. I'm in this for the long haul.
I'm sorry we missed our walk today. I will try to catch you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteA walk will be good, but I think another key to the process for me is going to be flexibility. I can't let the success or failure of my pursuit depend on any one action or inaction on any given day. When we walk again, that will be good. Until then, there are other things I can do and I will be sure to do some of them. I appreciate your help and support.
