PW. 132.0
CW. 132.2

And I'm not holding out for a successful week this week.😔

I'm with @LaurieWrobo and trying to avoid the heat.... 36/37 of the other degrees here all week. Walking to work soon (7.30am) as we are blessed with much cooler nights and early mornings.

I'm not logging.... need to ear up all the random batch foods I made and didnt log what was with them. I am being mindful however and working on my sleep and evening snacking..

New goals for the (rest of the) week:
- get back to my bedtime schedule
- go to the gym twice this week
- try going for a jog again
- log foods every day

I bought the gaming laptop last weekend, and it's messing up my sleep schedule. Mostly because I play games on full screen and literally don't see the clock, so I might have to try setting up an alarm to remind me about bedtime.

My daughter is moving in to her own home so I am very busy helping to get the house ready for her to move in. They grow up so fast.

Something radical happened today. I was getting dressed in the morning and realized I was not hungry, just thirsty. I don’t recall ever not being hungry or eating first thing in the morning, apart from being sick or extremely hungover. I always eat my breakfast right after getting dressed, not even thinking about there being any other option. Well, today I realized I wasn’t hungry and was working from home, and decided to just get my glass of orange juice, start working and get breakfast when I felt like it. I didn’t get hungry until 11am, and those morning hours were the most productive hours of my day. Finland is weird and 11am is usually lunchtime at the office, so this is a very new meal schedule for me.

Since I didn’t have breakfast until 11am, I had lunch at 3pm and dinner regularly around 7-8pm, I magically skipped all random and pre-planned daytime snacks. I had an ”extra” evening snack of yummy yogurt and blueberries, and my day totaled 400-500 calories less than usual.

I’m curious to see if I get some random hunger pangs or cravings tomorrow to make up for this. If not, I might have to consider switching things up more.

On fitness side: husband and I had a great plan of going to the gym right after his shift ended (he usually doesn’t have strict hours, but their customer support person is on vacation so he’s on support duty for two weeks. It includes support phone work, and having that at home is..... not great). We skipped gym but went for an hour-long walk and did some shopping. I’m not happy I skipped gym since I’m trying to get back on routine, but at least we went on a walk and got some quality time together.

Dinner

Wednesday check in... Today I will be revamping the goals I posted earlier....

Goals for the week:
- Get back on my MIF routine. Good so far! This feels natural again!
- Have a veggie heavy week. My BF sent me off with a big bag of squash and zucchini. Check!!! Veggies being consumed!!!!
- drink more water This is a difficult one for me, but I have been successful the last 2 days!
- Walk at least 3 nights. This feels nearly impossible this week. My daughter is on duty. This means I have the baby more and it is just too hot to have him in a stroller. Sweat beads on a 4 month old is not a good thing.

THE ALTERNATIVE:
Since I cannot get my evening walks in - I am taking many small breaks during the day and walking. If he is sleeping, I will lock up the house and walk to the end of the street -- don't freak out - it is just 300 steps TOTAL. I'm gone about 2 minutes tops. I was able to get 7k steps in like this yesterday. Better than nothing, right??

Personal victory -- I did not eat cake yesterday. Remember my BF sent me with a huge box of mini bundts from her bakery... Sucky Monday I ate a Toasted Coconut Baby Bundt. Last night, I had a protein bar instead

REMEMBER -- Small corrections are used to navigate the largest of ships.

Anything "low" fat, "less" sugars are usually your biggest culprits. Reading labels has really opened my eyes to how much crap they put in our foods for taste and to preserve things 😱 Food for Thought...
HAPPY HUMP DAAY!!
