Yesterday I fell off the wagon -- and then promptly got run over by it. I don't regret the pizza at all -- had an excellent sleep and felt great when I woke up this morning. So I'm not going to dwell on my little stumble and will move forward and see what the next 10 days brings.
So far, this first week has resulted in much better sleep and a bit more energy. Today I had enough to do all of the laundry, clean the bathrooms and start digging out the boy's bedroom so I can dust and vacuum properly. If you wonder why I would need energy and motivation for that particular project, imagine an episode of "Hoarders" and you'll know what I'm talking about. I don't expect to finish it today, but have some time before I head out to work tomorrow afternoon, so I'll likely finish it then. We'll see...
Dr. Mike's food tip for today: Green tea contains chemicals that increase fat-burning and stimulate calorie-burning -- 3 cups a day is recommended.
Dr. Mike's exercise tip for today: Stretch your muscles for a couple of minutes after exercising to avoid dizziness, cramping and sore muscles.
Today's Menu
Breakfast: 2 large eggs (scrambled), 1/2 red grapefruit, coffee
Morning Snack: skipped -- still full from breakfast (using large eggs make a huge difference -- who knew?)
Lunch: Dr. Mike's tomato-leek soup (still a bit full from breakfast, so didn't eat a whole serving), multivitamin, probiotic capsule, Omega 3 capsule, mint green tea
Afternoon Snack: vanilla yogurt with red grapes (yeah, I know -- fruit after 2:00 is bad -- just couldn't face baby carrots today)
Dinner: baked chicken breast topped with salsa, green bean casserole (from the workbook)
With tomorrow being Monday, I guess it will be time for a weigh-in. I'll only be doing that once a week as the weight loss is secondary this time. I seem to be nearly back on track with the sleep and energy -- any weight I lose will be a bonus!
