Since I hit my goal weight last week, now my life will be about maintaining this weight. I really plan to keep it around my goal weight, as I have worked too hard to gain the weight back and my life has become a new life style of eating healthy and exercise and I am enjoying it.
Sunday-I was up early at 5:30, as I have to be out the door by 7:30, so we can be in San Diego by 9. My weight was up. Breakfast was on track, as well as snacks and dinner. A group of us went out to lunch and I don't know that I made the most wise choice. We did about a 6 mile hike, which was really enjoyable and I am really finding I enjoy exploring different areas and being out in nature. It was a long, enjoyable day and I turned off the light around 9:45.
Monday-a start to a new week and back to healthy eating. Rory was awake about 4 and was having difficulty breathing because of the moisture in the air. The a/c went back on. I was up at 6:20. The weight is still up, but I am going to be back to more eating at home. Food was on track today. I had breakfast and snacks and dinner according to plan and went to Veggie Grill for lunch and made wise choices. Did home exercises and did a 4 mile walk. Turned off the light around 6:20.
Tuesday-I had a lot on my head during the night, as we found out that Mari got a job, which is exciting, but will change our current life. Got up around 6:30 and my weight was down, which I was happy about. Stayed on track today, even though I was tempted at lunch to go out, as we were out doing some errands and lunch was late. Note to self: bring fruit along, if I know lunch is going to be late, then I am not tempted. Did home exercises and did a 4 mile walk. Turned off the light around 11:30.
Wednesday-Rory was up around 6:15, which woke me up and evidently he is dealing with a sore throat. Great! NOT! We don't need a cold around our house. Weight is down again. I am going out to dinner tonight with my small group and I need to make wise choices. I did stay on track with most of my food during the day. With dinner, I had planned to have one thing and ended up having something else. This is a restaurant, I would not go back to. I had to take my car in for service, so while the car was being serviced, I took a walk. Light went out around 11.
Thursday-I was able to sleep until about 6:30. Weight was slightly up. My goal, now that I have made my goal weight is to keep my weight between 170-175. Stayed on track with food today. Overall the last few months, I have been reading about empaths, which I know I am and how they have a tendency to have relationships with narcissists, which is Rory and now I have been listening to a podcast about tendencies and I am an obliger with a rebel tendency, which is a war that goes on in my head. According to this podcast, obligers usually have relationships with rebels, which is my husband. Interesting how, even though we have a lousy marriage and I would prefer not to be in this marriage, this is the person, with my personality, I was supposed to have married. Knowing this helps, but I still do not want to be in this marriage, as I am more his caretaker, than his wife. Did my home exercises and got in a walk of approximately 5+ miles. Turned off the light about 11:15.
Friday-Slept until about 6:30. Weight was within my goal range. A friend of mine wanted to go hiking and we had decided to go to Torrey Pines in San Diego. We had lunch before we went hiking. I was hurting from my waist down from walking at Shady Canyon on Thursday. Question to those of you who hike/walk on a regular basis-should you have a meal before or after you eat? When we got to Torrey Pines, we found out we could not walk on the beach, which I was looking forward to doing. I made a good choice at lunch, but on the way home, we stopped at a coffee place, I like and I did not make a great choice. Had dinner slightly later than normal. We probably did a 4 mile walk, but my phone was causing me issues, so I am not sure. I was very tired by the time I got home and ended up going to bed between 10:30 and 11.
Saturday-Got up early at 6 p.m., as I had to get to hike at 9 in Fullerton and we had to leave at 8 a.m. to get to Fullerton on time. My weight was up, but the weight is still within maintenance. We did a 5 mile hike, but it was not at a very fast speed. Got sandwiches from Jersey Mikes and milk tea from 85 degrees on the way home. Went to a birthday party on Saturday night and made wise choices, but allowed myself some leeway. Fun evening and it was late to bed- 1 a.m.
