I have been struggling through some foot pain. It is bad enough that I have been taking pain killers which isn't like me. The machines at the gym don't seem to aggravate it as much, but I haven't been able to get there, so I am walking through it. I keep telling myself that a good part of the problem is likely my weight, and it will feel better once I drop some.
Exericse:
Walk 30 minutes
Food:
3/4 c banana nut cheerios (dry, snackig throughout day)
yogurt
coffee, no cocoa
two eggs
one slice dry wheat toast
grapes
snack pack popcorn
hot tea
planned dinner: leftovers- either pasta and meatballs or chicken, veggies, & brown rice; grapes for dessert.
PLUS, my pants were tight this am. Uncomfortably tight. So I am just grumpy and uncomfortable in a lot of ways today.
Scott will be away this evening, so I'll have some time to decompress and clean-up. I am feeling very burned out lately with craziness at work, craziness at home (dad had surgery), settling in from the move. I need some time off, but I can't take it right now. Hoping for next month- a week before the NYC trip.

There is no problem to which excessive food is the answer...
The answer to many problems, however, is healthy food in moderation and ample exercise.
I need to start updating daily- what I have done right & wrong & why; why I am doing what I am doing; what I can do better.
I want to be healthy. And I want to enjoy shopping for a wedding dress once the time for that comes. That is my big goal. But it is pretty vague.
Mini goals: stay on track EVERY DAY from here until NYC trip- 37 days. How many pounds will this result in? IDK. IDC. I am working on changing my habits, which will result in the logical response of changing my body. But I don't want to obsess over the markers. And besides, I realize that a resonable goal would be 10 lbs. Which to me seems useless. The same 10 I have lost and gained a million times. I don't want THAT to be a goal.
Goal 2: on track EVERY DAY until Seattle trip- 20 weeks. 40 lbs lost would be nice... but that's not where my eyes have to be.
Today I went for a walk at lunch and I am on track with my eating. I will do another walk later to equal 60 minutes.
What could I have done better? One hot cocoa instead of two- but I didn't go to the store for junk food or out to lunch, like I was tempted to
I am where I am because of my own actions. This is something I have done to myself. Not something that has been done to me. I feel like a victim, but I am not!
I got a new pair of shoes and I am hoping they will help with my foot pain. I also caved and bought a few pairs of pants that fit, even though I wanted to wait until I lose weight...
No excuses.
Exercise:
Walk: 60 minutes
Food:
hot cocoa (mixed with my coffee) x 2
sunbutter & jelly on whole grain
snack bag popcorn
planned dinner: chicken breast, brown rice, veggies; dessert: grapes
