Due to nothing that I can figure out, I GAINED 6/10ths of a pound yesterday. :0(
I ate as usual, drank three bottles of water, did 20 minutes on my elliptical trainer, and did my yoga practice.
Today we go to Lunch Bunch. As usual, I’ll eat HALF and bring the other half of my chicken strips home and use them in our chef salad dinner tonight. Exercise today is three short session with my weights and yoga.
I am being a “good girl” and that will have to be good enough.
I am of two minds about my husband’s progress on “OUR” diet.
Even though “I” am the one who plans the meals and snacks, cooks them – or heats up meals from REAL FOOD or STU’S CLEAN COOKIN’ in Greenwood, the one who exercises (elliptical trainer at least 3 times a week, yoga stretches almost every day), my HUSBAND is the one who has almost reached his diet goal.
I look for sugar-free snacks for him, since he is a Type II diabetic. He continues to throw ‘goodies’ with sugar into our grocery basket. I have decided that at 77, he is definitely old enough to either follow what he should and shouldn’t eat, or take the consequences. I don’t fuss at him now, but I do encourage him to eat healthier stuff, and the things I give him or make for him are healthy.
Regardless – his blood sugar numbers are good. His blood pressure numbers are good. He has reached his goal weight, though he snacks several times a day. “I” still have 30 lbs to lose. Is there a lesson here?
The ‘good person’ side of me is happy for him. All told he has lost a lot of weight. His numbers are good now. The ‘bad person’ side of me wants to strangle him. :0/
