I’m thinking I might need a high calorie meal just once to get this moving a bit. I’ve been under my calorie budget for a few days and also cycling a lot. Sometimes a big meal lets the body know it’s not in starvation mode.

I am listening to A LOT of Ultra processed food videos on Youtube. Oh my how the chemicals are added to those items. Those items are not real foods. they are chemicals that are getting into your cells and making up your tissues.

Making your food choices easy should be "making your fridge" and household choices easy. Pay attention to the better choices when it comes to your food. AND make the real whole foods fun experiences. Real FOOD is not about Suffering. Its about HEALTH. Its about making YOUR body healthy so that YOU don't have to put your loved ones thru the pain and suffering of your food choices.

How did my mom get a heart attack last week? I believe its from the foods she had been chosing to eat. a LOT of fast foods, frozen meals, skip the fruit, skip the veggies, eat the ice cream. have the candybar. drink the soda.
How do you try to prevent, reduce, your risk?
My guess... eat WHOLE FOODS. Not chemicals.

The power is in our food.
Chips are processed inside your body more quickly than the same calories of a baked potato.
The potato is processed differently and does something MUCH MORE different to your stomach and microbiome and Cells. The Potato will make you feel different than the chips also. At least in my experience, the chips will lead you to feeling like a drug addict. Sad. ashamed. depressed. anxious.
All of which a whole potato has never done to me.

Next time you reach for the "factory food" think.... what is my body going to do with this once the tastebuds have died down?

This week we are in a big heat wave. Going to hit nearly 100 degrees today. Yesterday was 95 degrees and I was outside in the afternoon working in the heat a bit. By the time I got in the house I was not feeling well. Pretty sure I got dehydrated and sweated out 6 gallons of water so focusing on rehydrating today with some electrolytes.

Going to try to do a weighted vest treadmill session today.

Well today I could feel a slight difference.
More energy- I got more stuff done today.
I felt lighter on my feet, I noticed it going up and down the stairs.
My game plan is working.

high 90's again today.
@ManifestingToday - I started with the weighted vest about 2 months ago maybe and try to use it 1-2 times per week for either my treadmill (with incline and slow pace) or eliptical. I may have been overly optimistic when I purchased it because I bought a 25# vest. It was alot to carry and took a long time to get to 20 minutes of walking with it but I really do love it. It burns alot more calories and helps build strength while doing low impact workouts. Given my knee I can't do impact anymore.

@SofaKween - the 297 is definitely NOT my weight goal! thanks for noticing .its corrected

Very rough to get through the workout (upper body and 20 mins of cardio as a warm up) but slogged through. Didn't put in my best effort that's for sure. Heat wave is energy zapper for me
