Today

Today:

1/2 hour cardio (walking)
stretching of the feet after

1684 calories.

I went to bed, couldn't sleep, was hungry so got up and had a snack. That's okay, because I was mindful of what I ate.  Plus, sometimes food makes me sleepy. If I eat mindfully, it will work.  I ignored the bagels and cream cheese that my son has in the fridge--that was due to mindfulness.

It was a good day, I got a lot done that needed done.  I started out with the half hour walk, which really raised my mood.  Exercise is the best thing to elevate mood!  The problem is you don't feel well so you don't want to exercise.  If one can just break that barrier, problem solved.  Today, I did.

According to my Fitbit, I did not get a high enough calorie burn.  That's okay.  My plan of action is to go slowly and build up, so that I do not injure my feet. I know my sweet spot, and I should be there in about two weeks' time.  Once I add kettlebells in (later this week), the burn will be higher.

Good things take time.


I am very willing to invest the time in myself.  I'm worth it.
