Day 15 of 100 Days to Thanksgiving
Day 15 of 100 Days to Thanksgiving
253/243/195 Got on my scales about 20 minutes ago and found that another pound was gone - so I've lost 10 pounds in 15 days. I know the weight loss will slow, but it is fun watching the line on the weight graph go down. Had a few more calories yesterday than I would have liked to have - including about 600 calories of shrimp salad when we went out to dinner. But I had diet coke, no bread, etc. Sure is a dramatic change as compared to before when I would have grabbed for the bread, had another beer, etc., etc. Now I have a few salivary responses in the course of a day, but not many, and they are easily controlled. Went up my little hill yesterday with my 25 pound backpack. I finished my walk up in 29 minutes and 30 seconds from a stop sign at the bottom of the hill and this is several minutes faster than I had done it while timing it last week. Also, I had made the climb somewhat harder by nose-breathing going up at first father than mouth-breathing. Then later I alternated between the two but about half way up I started mouth-breathing only. (There is some fascinating research by Washington State researcher Lori Brilla on training the inhalation response and I'm trying to emulate the effects of that. Also, by making my climb up the hill more difficult in terms of cardiovascular effect, I am hoping to tax the cardio system without overloading my joints, back, etc.) In the future I'm going to emphasize nose-breathing as I carry my pack. Great news in this morning's paper - about coffee being the major source of antioxidants in the American diet! And I really like coffee. As that song says: "I like coffee - I like tea. I like the java-java and it like me." My calorie goal today is 800 calories, all of it with a soup at dinner. (Soups are really filling for me.) I hope everyone meets with their diet and exercise goals today and in the weeks and months ahead! Yours, |
