I'll go ahead and report on my progress for yesterday now, since I'm up in the middle of the night unable to breathe because of these allergies.
Yesterday, I broke my walking record again! FOUR MILES! I can't believe I got in four miles - all indoors. Instead of setting the alarm for 30 minutes, I set it for 20. Instead of walking 200 steps (1/10th mile), I walked 500 steps (1/4 mile) each time. My knees did better than expected, PTL!
Got in all 8 waters yesterday. Only got in two servings of fruit (a whole banana and 8 strawberries in a smoothie). No veggies.
I'm still sick with allergies after walking 1/2 mile on a windy, pollen-filled day on Monday. My poor nose is SO tired of being blown!
I'm going to attempt to log everything I eat today - just to see how bad it is! I just ate 7 Ritz Crackers with homemade Pimiento Cheese Spread on them. 360 calories! Yesterday, I did that THREE times!
Unfortunately, my eating has been a little off the rails. I have a very long history of feeding myself when I feel badly. Whenever I was sick, my Mom would go to the store and get me a bag of Cheetos and an Almond Joy candy bar. I ate FIVE Entennman's Rich Frosted Mini-Donuts yesterday.
I went over a little on the Diet Coke yesterday, too. I DID get in the 8 cups of water, but I have a double whammy "reason" for drinking more: I'm sick AND I'm rewarding myself every time I exercise with both food and drink. Very counterproductive! If I was eating properly, I'd probably be LOSING weight with the exercise calorie deficits.
I'll find out today, but a wild guess is that I'm eating around 3,000 calories a day. I don't want to negate my good NEW habit of walking by falling back on my OLD habit of rewarding myself with food every time I do something I feel is applause-worthy.
OK, nose is starting to clear a little. I'll go ahead and get in my first 1/4 mile of walking now, before I try to go back to sleep.
