My daughter and I went downtown yesterday, and had a great day. We went to this cool market area where they have fresh produce, crafts, art, etc. It's funky and fun. I bought each of us a new necklace, and then later we went to this groovy vegan restaurant for lunch.
I had a small breakfast because I knew that at the restaurant they had vegan cupcakes. We bought three to take home, one for each of us, plus my husband. But then last night she went out with some friends so they are still in my fridge.
Anyway, by the time we got home, I really wasn't hungry or motivated to cook, and my husband had made some grits, so that's what I had for dinner. Hence, I came in under calorie again, even with a few glasses of wine.
My TOM started this morning, do you find you gain during that week? I think I do, but I'm not sure why.
Yesterday:
Under calories, again. But that's better than the alternative.
30 minute belly dancing, plus we walked around the city for HOURS. I logged 60 minutes.
I didn't meditate before bed :(
Acai taken. I'm out of aloe, so I've ordered some more. It should arrive today.
I didn't log food and walking until today.
170.4 this morning. (down .2)

Great day yesterday. I went on a long walk in the morning, and felt awesome the rest of the day. Last night, my daughter and I played with LEGOs (yes, we're grownups), watched movies and talked.
She saw my bellydancing video, and asked if we could do it together! So this morning, we did that workout together. And she said she'd like to start doing yoga with me, too. We're going to start doing a video together each day. Super excited.
Yesterday:
Under calories, again. But that's better than the alternative.
71 minute walk.
Meditation before bed.
Aloe +Acai taken. I'm out of aloe, so I've ordered some more.
Everything logged.
Still 170.6 this morning.
Today we're going to go downtown and walk around the eastern market and go to this great vegan spot for lunch. I am looking forward to it!

Yesterday was a tough one. I was so busy all day, I only got 50 minutes of work out time in. I'm okay with that, though, because I did 75 on Thursday, and I've already done 71 today. I'm not going to get in the habit of that, though.
Calorie total: 1420.I got a little closer to the range I'm supposed to be in, but still not there. The one thing I really don't like about this higher calorie range is that I get near the end of the day and I have all of these calories left. Today I'm going to try to eat more calories for each meal, and see what happens.
I did a 30 minute video workout (Buns of Steel), and had two ten minute increments where I was able to walk and do stairs.
15 min meditation before bed.
Aloe + Acai taken.
I logged everything.
Weigh in this morning shows I have gained .2 lbs. I was at 170.4 last Sunday, this morning at 170.6.
I wish I wasn't so caught up in the scale numbers. Yes, I know I am eating right. Yes, I'm getting more exercise. I DO feel better. I AM sleeping better. I just wish the scale reflected that. I feel so good- like I'm really making a difference, and when I see that I'm not losing weight it kills the buzz. I know it's not all about those numbers. But still, it would be nice if they would show what I feel.

Yesterday:
Calorie total: 1295. They upped my range to 1470-1820. That seems really high. I couldn't put any more calories into my body last night. I even had a cupcake and some wine. I was reading about how to get more calories in. It just seems so self defeating! But is that why I don't lose? I'm not eating enough?
45 minutes dog walking, 30 minutes Bellydancing video. That was fun, and made me think about my BFF from HS, who then texted me last night! Weird, huh?
15 min meditation before bed. I will admit, this was not uninterrupted. My daughter is flying home this morning, and she was on her way to the airport last night, and texted a lot. ALL NIGHT.
Aloe + Acai taken. Also Sprulina.
I logged everything. Even my cupcake and wine.
I haven't lost any weight this week though. I'll keep you posted.

So yesterday, I had to tutor from 8-11, a meeting from 11-1, teaching from 1-5, and more tutoring from 5-7. So I knew it was going to be tough to get my 60 minutes in.
I woke up early, and did a 30 minute workout (Buns of Steel again- oh! I could feel that in my legs later!). Ok. Halfway there.
Then when I got home, I really just wanted to drink a glass of wine and watch some of the olympics, but I leashed up, and took the dogs on a 30 minute walk. I think I could feel myself getting skinnier while I was walking!
Goals met:
1. Calorie total: 1521. But I re-did my fitness goals with 60 minutes of cardio 5 times a week, and they upped my range to 1470-1820. That seems really high.
2. 30 min buns of steel, 35 minutes dog walking. I actually even (shhh- don't tell) jogged a bit of it!.
3. 15 min meditation before bed.
4. Aloe + Acai taken.
5. Logged everything! When I got home from my walk, I didn't even stress about it, I just made myself dinner, and then later when I logged it, I was pleased I was still within range.
I'm trying the new Spark Coach thing. I think it's pretty well done.
My daughter comes home tomorrow, and I wonder if she'll notice a change in how I look. She's already promised to do a vegan detox with me!
