The fitness journey begins.

  • Mood:

This morning when I woke I took my measurements and weighed myself. I am not willing to share that now. After I lose a great deal, I probably will. I will tell how much I lose as I measure myself weekly.

Exercise: About 60 minutes of brisk walking, cool down and stretching. Rating: Great

This morning I walked with my daughter in a subdivision next to ours. Taking some online advice, instead of holding my head down and looking at the pavement, I tried to keep my head up. I enjoyed viewing some beautiful landscapes. My walk included a couple of times of slow jogging and faster sprints giving my heart a little shock. I recovered. I'd plan to go practice tennis tonight, but changed because of the pain in my neck and shoulders that won't seem to go away. I will play tennis tomorrow because I really enjoyed it last night.

Diet: Natural carbs, a little dairy,  protein, fat, & snacks. Rating: Alright

Today, was a decent day. Trying to abstain from refined sugar, I stayed away from sodas and juices and Little Debbie oatmeal cakes. For my carbohydrate, I enjoyed watermelon and plum which contains natural sugar and a protein bar during my snacks. Working towards having 5-6 mini meals or three meals and two snacks, today I had four meals--a small, late breakfast, three snacks, and a somewhat large dinner. Shortly after dinner I began to crave junk food. I ate a few blue corn tortillas and that seemed to satisfy me. 

This is not easy for me, but I will continue this lifestyle of reduction and control and physical activity for at least another day.

Goals for tomorrow: Walk 45-60 minutes with sprints in the morning. Play tennis in the evening. Eat 5 small meals. Test my sugar. Get my son to exercise also.
