Only Tuesday??

Seems like it should be at least Thursday! Today was a full day of meetings so I wasn't able to get in my walk at lunch like I wanted. I did get home and do 1/2 hour on the treadmill so that made me feel a little better about things. I still didn't hit my base line though but I will do that when I am able to do both walks. Yesterday I walked at lunch in my dress shoes (they are like loafers) and ended up with blisters on my feet! So I have learned the hard way that I HAVE to bring my sneakers to work. I put on my music and my tracker app and walked about the whole campus once...I am going to work it up to 3. That is my short term goal. My tracker app showed me that it was a total of .62 miles going around just once. So that is pretty good I think!

They are calling for snow overnight tonight...I hope not too much. It is not too bad here because when it snows they are good about treating the roads so you can drive on it fairly quickly:) Sorry I missed blogging last night. I was pretty tired and didn't feel much like getting online. I am feeling really good and feel a lot less sluggish and bloated. Eating all the veggies really does a number on the tummy! LOL

I am reading a book "It Starts with Food: Discover the Whole30" It is very interesting about all the ways that processed foods trick your brain and make you crave it more...I have alot more to read and will tell you more later.

Oh well...went over a few points today...but I did exercise so I don't feel so bad about it:) In the past I noticed that if I fluctuated the points going up and down I lost more because my body didn't get used to eating the same number every day. Have to keep the body guessing! :) I am exhausted so I am going to go and watch a little TV and hit the sack! Goonight all!!
