Hmmmmm - been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to thin of something to say. I got nuthin! Now THAT'S a first! *lol*. Figured I'd just start typing and see what happens so don't expect anything TOO deep today!
Yesterday was a RAGING success in my books! I got the 2.5 litres down (would have been more but had to sit it down early so my bladder could make it through the night!). I was really happy with the 2.5 litres given that I was out most of the day running errands and getting groceries so making sure I stuck to my goal was key to my success (that and knowing where the nearest public washroom was at all times!)
Nailed the eating too. I stuck to my goals - no leftovers, no pie and lots of veg. I had a late breakfast of eggs then grabbed a banana (belch) and a protein bar for the road. I was thrilled that I really wasn't hungry until about 4:00, when I got home. Wanted a snack. Had 3 little market cucumbers. D-LISH!!
I made traditional spaghetti - with ground beef sauce. I seem to have a spaghetti squash addiction this week so I cooked myself one of those to have instead of noodles. Although I drained the ground beef, the high-quality sauce I use does have quite a bit of oil in it and I decided I wanted something lighter. Grabbed a pack of the ground turkey I had just bought and fried that up, adding a touch of oil so it didn't burn.
Fried up an orange pepper and some red onion, added some Sweet Basil spice (Pampered Chef) and it was totally delicious. JUST what I was craving and SO healthy! … not to mention how MUCH I got to eat (I AM a quantity kinda gal!)
It was a non-stop day and my feet where absolutely throbbing with pain. I headed upstairs to do a bit of paperwork and realized I hadn't done my pilates video. Down I went, at 8:00 pm, and crushed it! It actually felt GREAT (painful, but great!) This foot business has me limping and walking in whatever way I can to get from point A to point B and, in the process, it's throwing out my knee, back, shoulder and HIPS. They are SO tight! So to get on the floor and stretch those muscles in a healthy way not only felt good physically it boosted m mood mentally. Look at ME taking care of my body! *insert pat on the back here*
I made a chiro appointment for tomorrow … and a massage appointment for Aug 24th (soonest I can get in!!) The receptionist seems to thing my chiropractor can help with my feet. Not sure how, as it's muscle / fascia related but I'll give it a shot at this point!
So that was my yesterday. Today … hmmm … not much going on today. The girls' friends are coming over this afternoon; have some work to do and bills to pay …. what can I commit to that keeps me moving forward today??
Well … Just for Today I Choose to …
- keep drinking that water. 2.5 litres minimum (it does seem to help my feet to lee the fascia hydrated!)
- eat a banana (potassium helps my body absorb the water)
- Prep the fruit and veg I bought yesterday
- resist that pie one more day - it will be gone by tomorrow!
- research a heathy stew dish for dinner (using my fancy new "Instant Pot"
- do the Butt and Thigh pilates DVD again AND the Abs DVD
I think that's enough for today. gotta make sure the goals are achievable!
So ya - nothing to deep or earth shattering today - just random rambling that helps me keep my focus on moving forward and setting the day up for success. Thanks for listening. Let's do it again tomorrow :)
Love you Girlfriend xo
