Daily Calories Since Day 1 (July 4)


So we can see from looking at the above chart (double click to enlarge if necessary) How I did with my calorie counting during my vacation. The green zone is my calorie range. . the red dots are where I go over or under. . .the sharp descent on July 30 and the corresponding ascent from that day until today tracks the days I didn't track calories (4 days). I thought about trying to go back, but it seemed kind of pointless. . . especially after I got on the scale.

I've been playing some head games about the scale. . .weighing as soon as I wake up (after urinating) and then roaming around some hoping for my bowels to move before eating so I can weigh again. . .for a more accurate weight I tell myself. . . but it kind of leaves a girl hanging around the bathroom all AM.

So I didn't want to fully believe the weight on the scale yesterday morning since I'd only had the first pottying experience (TMI I know. . .it's my signature). . . but according to it, I showed a gain of 2.8 lbs. I feel like if I had been more active I could offset it. . .but I could say a lot of things. . . and the point of this post is it isn't worth time saying anything about the past. All I have is the present and the future.

Exercise Plans for the Rest of the Week
Here's my activity menu for the rest of the week:

Tuesday (today): Stick to calorie count & pack lunch (done and done) [Do this for the other days this week too]

Wednesday: Walk Yeats in the AM for 15 to 20 minutes. Get up and walk around the office at least once--twice would be a bonus. Try to talk Hubby into walking on the trail after dinner, if not, try to get him to take a walk; if he won't walk alone for at least 20 minutes.

Thursday: Get up and walk around the office at least once--twice would be a bonus. Leave work at 5:00 if possible to make the 6:00 water aerobics class; if I can't leave, try to talk Hubby into a 9PM evening swim; if he won't agree, walk in the neighborhood or on the treadmill at least 20 minutes.

Friday: Walk Yeats in the AM for 15 to 20 minutes. Get up and walk around the office at least once--twice would be a bonus. Try to talk Hubby into walking on the trail after dinner, if not, try to get him to go for a 9PM swim; if he won't walk alone for at least 20 minutes.
