Feeling really good. Two days in a row I have gotten into the pool for a half hour of zero impact aerobic activity. Never got my heart rate WAY up, but I moved my entire body and I feel very good. Everything feels more alive. But parts of me wanted to fall out the top of my new swimsuit! especially doing the side stroke...dang, girls! So to keep it decent I mostly trod water, and some front crawl, and numerous adjustments. I might wear a sport bra underneath, even though that'll look REALLY redneck. But that's okay, I already do look pretty redneck wearing my supportive sensible shoes to the pool.
Seriously, a darling little cover up, a new, kind of flattering swimsuit, hair up in a claw, and my handy-dandy Merrell walkers laced up tight on my feet. It's a sight, lemme tell you. And I'll be doing it again this evening. But seriously, the shoes. I tried going with my cute slip ons and my foot simply needs the support. The mules weren't cutting it.
Great eating this week, after YET ANOTHER indulgent weekend. What can I say? My family throws parties. LOL my mom's birthday was Friday so we went out and I "feasted" then on Sunday we had a family bday party, because there are eight birthdays in May and June, so i "feasted" again. And came out of the weekend feeling sluggish and achy. But I've corrected a lot of that with super compliant foods, and yesterday's eating left me feeling light and energetic. Kelp Noodles. FTW. I'm gonna keep those babies around this summer. Salad! Soup! Yum!
My Fitness Pal is helpful, though I'm ignoring its advice on the carb intake, and I about gave it a coronary yesterday when my total intake was quite low...like, 850 calories when I was done with dinner. Because Kelp noodles have VERY low calories, yet are nicely filling. Satiating. So too bad, My Fitness Pal. I ate enough, because i wasn't hungry AT ALL. But My Fitness Pal wouldn't let me close my food diary for the day until I put an apple and some saltines on it. Got my cals to 1,100 and it was consoled.
so I'm going to continue with the calorie counting. It seems to be clicking for me. But the true test will be whenever the next family "feast" comes, or the camping in a couple of weeks. I'll have to pack foods I can eat.
