Steph's Journey

Well, my biggest concern is the downtime from work. We are not in a position for me to leave for an extended duration. My job entails alot of walking as well, so I dont know how that would work out. I am sure the owner would make accommodations for my work days but the initial days off would be rough.
But I am feeling pretty darn good this morning. I took my walk yesterday, made good time, saw a family of deer, got back home and the foot is not bothering me.
I heard from my friend whos joining the military...he ships out in less than 2 weeks. Im happy for him, but its kind of sad too. I will miss him. I just keep reminding myself that hes reaching his goals and I need to keep doing the same. I dont think he realizes what an inspiration he is to me. haha
Anyhoo...its pretty much going to rain for the next 4 days, so it looks like ill be biking. I may grab an umbrella and walk anyway!
Makes sense. You´d probably need a week or two and sometimes that´s just not an option. All the more reason to be happy your foot is feeling better

For sure! Im happy im not having the pain i was this weekend and earlier this week. I just need to make sure i keep it that way as much as possible.
I did!
I got lucky that it was just a small drizzle by the time i went out. I threw on my trusty raincoat just in case it turned into a downpour.
It was very cool out and quiet..it was very pleasant. I really enjoy walking. It gives me time to clear my head and not have to think about anything except how pretty the trees are.
So super excited! Just got back from my walk...i shaved 2 minutes off my normal time!
I think it helped that its only 39F outside and a pretty good wind. My fingers started getting cold within the first few minutes. Been awhile since its dropped down below 40F. I also caused a blister on my foot yesterday because i didnt lace my shoes firmly enough, but it didnt bother me today...and i had those suckers laced correctly today.
Had a good day overall.

Good morning everyone!
Todays weekly weigh in is 330.6.
I think this week i will try to weigh daily and see how crazy it makes me.
Im gonna put my weekly calories up later on today after i figure my meals and log them.
I had a weird day yesterday. I only consumed a bit over 1100 calories. I was considering walking yesterday and i should have...the weather was much more agreeable. I think its supposed to rain and stay near the mid 30F today.
I didnt find myself that hungry yesterday though. I only had a tortilla with chicken and a bit of mayo for dinner. Im not extremely hungry this morning either...just a weird day. I feel good so i dont know what to make of it.

Yep the tortilla was good. Its a low calorie low carb tortilla with the chicken and mayo and a bit of spinach and tomato...because veggies. Haha
So the weekly calorie intake was low overall. I didnt get close to the 2000 calorie mark and i think yesterday threw my average off for the whole week.
I dont feel any more hungry most days. Ive gotten onto a schedule with eating. I eat between 6am and 6pm and have 3 meals and one snack(between lunch and dinner).
I think overall i ate a lot more chicken last week which might account for some of the lower days. I love chicken anyway because it is so versatile.
Looking forward to another productive week!

Glad to hear the pain is down and that you are out walking in the rain - totally jealous!
Thanks!
Oh yea,i think after that fluctuation of the weather its gotten so much better. I dont know how jealous you want to be about walking in cold rain.haha
Sunday i made beef stew. It actually snowed yesterday so it felt like a beef stew kind of day. After plugging in all the info for the recipe, it clocks in at about 600 calories per serving. Im kind of feeling the sodium today though.
My sundays are typically not average compared to all the other days of the week. I only eat 2 meals on sundays with a protein drink in the afternoon. Thats because i usually have a better breakfast and dinner is typically a larger meal since its the only day i have to seriously cook.
I didnt do my meal prep for the week yesterday. Im hoping to get it in today after work.
I think im going to go for a frittata this week.
As far as the daily weighing...i weighed this morning and got 330.6. I think with the daily weighing my biggest anxiety is going to be seeing it higher than the last weight...only day one of this so im not gonna let it get to me yet.
It's going to happen some days, especially after eating more sodium or when your period is coming up. Learning not to take the number on the scale as a moral judgment is what daily weighing is about, isn't it?
