Hit a snag...

I am pretty sure that I threw my back out yesterday.


I don't know what I could've done. Except, I just started while I was walking (I get my steps while watching television) I was taking larger steps, working harder and raising my heart rate in the process. Maybe that's what did it, I dunno...but I can't do much of anything at the moment. So my plan to start exercising more has hit a snag today. Sadly.

I'm hoping I can take care of this on my own. I used to have a chiropractor but he has since stopped practicing.

Here's hoping I feel better tomorrow or the next day. Trying to eat right. Funny how hard that is to do when you aren't feeling well. Feeling bad has me wanting comfort foods...which is never good. (I love bread and salty snacks...)

I just forced myself to eat carrots and PB since I was snacky. At least I avoided the comfort foods, lol. Now to keep it up for the rest of the day, gah! I better just count those calories closely and stay within my numbers.

My nemisis

I am failing miserably at this diet thing... I just want to look better and feel better and be healthy. The pandemic did me in...I'm serious. Suddenly I was no longer alone in the house, which was nice, but it turned me from getting my steps in while watching tv, and trying a new on-demand exercise routine to sitting. Mr. G working in the other room has me more self conscious about doing any of those things that I used to. And yes, that's a ME problem. Then there was the community panic of "Stores are going to run out of food!" So we were buying anything we could find in anticipation for empty shelves. (Now we know the only shelves that went empty were toilet paper, paper towels, I'm hearing baby formula, and cat food. Then breakfast sandwiches-which was odd.) But I went from buying all fresh veggies and proteins to whatever I could find. I still don't eat frozen chicken nuggets or strips, and I do make frozen fresh chicken. BUT my eating habits went crazy. I ...

Not For Me

Yeah, I'm convinced that intermittent fasting is not for me. It works great for some people, but just like the keto diet, it isn't for me. Next week I'll go back to what I was doing before the Pandemic hit. My goal will be 2lbs a week, and in about a year I will hit my long term goal. I enjoyed what I was doing before. Fasting just confused me, since I was used to a couple small meals spaced out. It is great for some people, just not for me. (plus coffee on an empty stomach didn't work so well for me) If you have any lower carb and lower calorie recipes you love, send them my way! I am always looking for something to make for dinner and love a good muffin or cupcake that won't wreck my calorie count for the day! I'll update you next week as to how getting back at it is going...

baby steps

I haven't necessarily been following my healthy eating plan the last few weeks (which puts me about 3 weeks behind in my year plan) but today I chose to make a protein shake for lunch like I had planned instead of ordering fast food like Mr. G suggested. (granted, that fast food would've tasted yummy...lol) Baby steps, right?
