I see that I haven't been here since before Thanksgiving ! Time flies !
Exercise today: walked 3 miles at the gym followed by stretches.
I haven't weighed myself in a few days. Trying to decide about frequency of weighing myself. If I lose, I worry that I won't lose next time, if I gain, I also worry that I will NEVER get to where I want to be (weight-wise). Is my weight important? It is an indicator of health ( is it?)... I don't really know. Is a certain number important? I have thought about checking my weight once a month but will that keep me from feeling bad? Maybe I just will weigh myself randomly, like every few weeks. I will wait on that decision.
For now, I will concentrate on behaviors. I am so bad about eating at the table. I need to make this a habit. If I am putting importance on food then at least I can eat at the table and notice what I am doing. Let's see how this goes !
Today's food plan:
Breakfast: steel cut oats and mango along with a cup of matcha tea
Lunch: salad made with chopped broccoli and a few raisins, onion and maybe apple followed by black bean soup
Dinner: steamed vegetables and rice
Today I am making that broccoli salad (enough for 3 days) and the black bean soup. I think there is something else too but can't remember what it is...??? Anyway, if there IS something else I wanted to make, I can report next time.
Oh, also: forgot to tell you that my blood pressure remains in the normal zone so my doctor took that blood pressure med off my chart. I am no longer hypertensive !! YAY !! Of course, I know that I need to continue to eat with health in mind in order to keep this up. I want to eat with pleasure too. Nothing wrong with that as long as I don't fall into the trap.
