My day was a little off today. First, I didn’t get a very good night sleep. Second, I ate my left over cross rib roast for brunch and then since I ate most of my calories then and really didn’t feel like cooking I ate sliced mozzarella cheese for supper. Third, my knee was bothering me today so I did non-weight baring exercises to get my steps in, which took me all day to do. Even when I went to go to bed I was still short on steps and walked around my bedroom to get them all in. Finally, I’m in bed @ 8:20 pm hoping for a better night sleep. Relaxing with a David Attenborough show and a good book.

Sunday I ate well but took the day off from my steps. I tweaked my knee Saturday and wanted to rest it besides the Fitbit needed a charge.

Monday I had to go to a funeral in the city about an hour away. I live between 2 cities in the country. The funeral I could tell was going to be very sad. I decided to just go to the visiting and then head to my favourite grocery stores. I went to the Canadian Superstore and picked up some beef and chicken thighs. I then went across the street to Remarks. This is a privately owned company that I think is only in Windsor and London Ontario. I could be wrong but it sells the highest quality of fruit and vegetables among other things. While I was there I picked up 2 peach pies. They are my favourites and the closest I have come across that tastes like my Aunt made who passed 5 yrs ago. They were 8 inch pies. Now in the past I would have eaten both of them. However this time I only ate the centre out of one pie and left most of the crust alone and I counted it as my supper. I sent the second pie with my son. He shared it with or gave it his dad, my ex.

Monday’s steps were close. I didn’t realize I didn’t get them all in when I went to bed or I would have kept stepping to reach 10,000. I did however have 161 zone minutes. I still haven’t figured out the ‘Zone Minutes’ thing yet on my Fitbit. It’s been changed from just regular minutes. I was tired last night so went to bed early and slept till noon.

Today, the only thing I managed to do was eat right. I had one meal at supper.

I’m still feeling tired and lazy. Here is to hoping tomorrow is better.

My weight has come down some too.

I live in Southwestern Ontario Canada. We just finished an extreme heat wave. Today people were wearing coats. Not jackets coats. We went from being in the high 90’s with high humidity to the mid 50’s with a cold wind out of the NW. Oh I forgot the day of rain too.

I don’t what the weather will be tomorrow. Tomorrow is a national holiday for us Canada Day. I had company twice today I really hope no one bugs me tomorrow. I just want to relax and read.

Sunday’s Steps

I tried to find a better pic to celebrate my 13 pound loss in my first month of my plan. One pound away from my first goal. If I could just get some decent sleep, I think the number would be better but the insomnia since Friday has sucked. My sleep last night was so bad even my Fitbit couldn’t give me hours slept.

endurovet,

Thank you. Its so nice to have your encouragement. i am posting stuff for this journey on 4 different social media platforms and you are to first and only to say those kind words. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. Especially today when my brain has been trying to encourage me to go for something sweet.

16 miles that is impressive. My IF is 20:4. I have been eating just one meal a day. I think it could be the heat. I'm not as hot as the states but the heat makes me sleepy. On occasion if I take a vitamin that doesn't like the empty stomach too much I'll have a slice of mozzarella cheese.

I read a lot and last week I took a reading break and spent too much time on my phone screen so I went back to reading on Monday. Its healthier and my screen time dropped considerably.
