    Morning routine
    Breakfast
    Wordle
    Quordle
    10 minutes core exercise.(non yoga days)
    balance poses

    I should not have added "look in the mirror" today. Not exactly looking trim yet.
    I really don't want to become hyper focused on this and be discouraged.

    Today I started with grape nuts, and I'm going to try to level out my carb intake through the day to see if that helps with the hangries.

    I'm vain but I like to focus on the following reasons instead

    Being trim is
    ...convenient
    ...healthy
    ...less expensive
    ...confidence building
    ...contributes to a feeling of control over my life (realistically aware there are few things that I can control)

    Please share your reasons.

    I can see this is going to be one of those weeks you just have to hang in there until it starts to change again. It's just so difficult because it's so hard to calibrate how much to eat so that I don't start to feel bad. I definitely met my exercise goals. I will persevere!!!

    Instead of logging exercise in my diary I will log it here and hope that I will keep more closely to my calorie intake

    37 minutes brisk walk

    60 minutes hot yoga 15 minutes stretching and cool down. Working at my edge and I could not do all the moves.

    Very thankful I did not slip and fall onto the person next to me during the balancing poses. I recovered my balance.

    43 minutes dog walking. We need an hour but I was afraid we would get rained on.

    47 minutes dog walking. I should have checked the time and gone longer but I really thought we had gone an hour.

    I did not do my core exercises video yesterday because I did not do it early. The new schedule of walking the dogs is good because it will get too hot soon for later in the day.

    Even though I cut back a lot yesterday I did not really get hungry.

    I'm still slightly better with not getting too hungry so I must be doing something better with the carb level.
    I walked 50 minutes with the dogs and I did an hour of yoga today.

    I will have to pay attention to the carb level and see what the magic number is going to e, but yoga days are probably going to be harder.

    I'm ready to eat dinner at 4:00 p.m.!!!

    Today I was out with the dogs for an hour and a half, but we seem to barely move because they wanted to stop and sniff at everything.

    I was really good at cutting my calories to 1200 until yesterday. We wanted to go out to eat, which is always a problem. If the steakhouse hadn't been crazy crowded ( and this is on a Wednesday night so we don't understand it) that would not have been so bad. But I suddenly decided I wanted Kentucky Fried Chicken and that was a really terrible choice.

    True confessions. Today I will do better.

    I want to make my own protein bars using whey protein because it is great to have a portable meal. Does anybody have a favorite recipe? I want something that will be chewy and you can cut it and it won't make a mess.

    Thanks.

    Yesterday was unplanned and it shows. I'll be gone a week in April and unable to count calories accurately and I don't even know if I can get much exercise. Same thing will happen in May.

    It has been a good exercise to try to post every day but I may have to go to a new method.

    At least I have revisited things that worked in the past and tried to remember what I learned.

    It really was impossible to count properly Wednesday through Saturday. I did not even put anything down yesterday. Back on the wagon and today I walked at least 45 minutes and did yoga for 75 minutes.


    I will weigh again in a week but I don't really expect to have made any progress except that I can report my strength has really increased in yoga and I was able to do almost the entire 75 minutes.

    67 minute walk. 1 hour yoga
    I don't really recommend it but I've been able to do yoga twice now without eating a little snack first. It surprises me because historically I've had very low blood sugar.

    Despite eating very poorly last week I still have managed to meet my goal of one pound per week. That is the result of the walking and yoga, I am sure

    Walking dogs 63 minutes .

    We went out to eat last night so I ate hardly anything until then. At least I skipped the margarita which was a big help!

    Beautiful!

    Here starts a week of visiting family and I may not be able to post very much. I'm going to try to stick with the program but if I eat that cupcake at my grandson's birthday party I don't know if I can eat chili tonight!
