Yay! I can finally say that I ate reasonably well this week! I think working on my pantry and sorting out all of my outdated spices and dry goods/cans really let me see what I have, and want in my pantry. I had about 3 old jars of never used mayonnaise type dressing that I haven't touched since I started this journey over a year ago. I had so many products that were hoarded on the back shelves that I just don't use anymore and haven't since I started my weight loss journey.
I also purposefully increased my activity this week. One block is .6 kms, so I power-walk for 3 laps and this gets my heart rate up to peak (yes! I'm that out of shape!!) on hot humid days. It's fast, 22 minutes and something I can do several times a day. I've also noted how much faster it is wearing proper running shoes instead of my birkies, or flip-flops, lol!!
I've also been prepping whole grain rice, pasta, and Quinoa/barley etc... and tossing them with chopped fresh veggies and spices (curry powder, yum), so I can just add BBQ Salmon, or chicken to the mix. I'm loving stir fried fresh salmon with a touch of Kobe marinade from Farm boy.
Most of my days are in the 1200 calorie range again, but yesterday I had my cheat day and ate chocolate and chips.
I've been stretching out in the pool, and moving a lot of boxes this week, coupled with my power walks on top of regular walks. My active minutes have gone up to 90 minutes a day.
Now I just need to maintain this activity to feel great.
Cheers to all!
