2018 Journey

I get so dehydrated when I’m sick like this so I’m drinking electrolytes and I’m actually going to eat for the first time in 24 hours... gently.

I walk 6 days a week, at least an hour a day, usually 2.5 miles, which I’m trying to bring up to 5 a day in the morning by August.  Usually I take Sundays off.  Tomorrow I’m getting up and walking.  I feel like a lump today.a complete lump. 

Anyway, tomorrow I’m meal prepping.  I make these killer salads for lunch at work: three different colored peppers, carrots, cucumbers, grape tomato, mixed lettuce, spinach and three different kinds of protein.  It’s just a LOT of cutting.  that’s my day tomorrow.  I’m making pasta salad, I’m making egg roll in a bowl with rice, and I’m making 4 luscious salads.

I walk 2.5 miles every day before my new job, where I walk an additional 1.5-3 miles depending on if I’m running walking club or not.

I’ve decided to be more dedicated to posting here to help me with some goals.  1) I want to get back to ruthless honesty about my food and exercise.

2) I want to get back to community and finding inspiration from all of you.

3) I want to get back to consistently posting to remind myself where I am and why.

I am in a bad head space but I’m still holding center for now, white knuckling the whole way.

I’m up to walking 3.5 with a full bridge in 90 minutes, which for me is a blessing. I’m slow but I’m able to do so much more than I thought I could do.

I am pleased to tell you that last week I weighed myself for the first time in a long time and..... I’m officially 100 pounds down from my highest weight.  I’m also 50 down since October.

My necklace is askew and my unibrow is depressing. This is unfiltered and part of my face collection.

I gained weight last week because I binged Sunday and had a rough time getting it back together, and I don’t even care, it’s such a win.

Sweating through yesterday’s mascara after a one mile happy walk with Leslie Sansone and my sister in NJ.

I put on this top because it’s a work out top I don’t usually wear, certainly not in public, and it skimmed over my body because it’s too big now. Freshly washed, no stretching, just fell over my rolls and hips.

Then I walked at least 250 steps per hour for 9 hours which put me over 2 miles on a slow exercise day for me.

Taking tomorrow for stretching and Pilates, plus the 250/9.

This is how I in Florida and my sister in NJ get a mile in together before the work day.

Love getting my steps in. This May I am going to try to get my 250 steps at least every hour. I tend to be seated all day. So time to make a new goal for myself.
