LadyM … that’s terrific! I am doing the same between 1200-1400 alternating days.

Wednesday was ice cream day.. I promised myself I could have ice cream once a month. Turned out to be a wonderful decision because not only did I get to eat delish ice cream, but Sweetie and I sat and talked for almost 3 hours. That is a win for me because I have no idea how long these moment with him will last.

Yesterday I made my calorie limit, but didn’t get all my water or steps in because I spent most of the afternoon in a dentists chair and have to go back on Monday.

Today I have a birthday lunches and have adjusted my food the best that I can.

Been to my class and already have 4K steps and am working on my water as I fold my laundry.

Boredom is an enemy of mine. I want to shake things up and do amazing, wonderful, and exciting things.
Taking care of basic health isn't exciting or hard to do. However, they do have to be repeatedly done.
The benefits may not show up immediately, but they build upon each other.
Boring health can be a good thing! It is much preferred to health being in crisis because the boring things were not done.
Reminding myself to not quit doing boring things. I need to make friends with boredom

Yesterday I ate 1366 calories which was all single ingredient clean eating (meat, vegetable, and fruit). This morning the scales said that I gained 2.8 lbs. Go figure!
My daily weight goes up and down without reason. I continue to weigh daily to collect the data, but I try to keep my focus on the weekly and monthly average so I don't go bonkers trying to make sense of the daily variance.

WTG girls…

My hiatial hernia has decided to raise its ugly head. Don’t know why now, but I need to deal with it without meds.

Yesterday I ate some yogurt, two wasa crackers and a half of apple. For some reason the apple set it off. I was in awful pain so had to take some meds for that, along with two biscuits. White bread is something that calms my stomach down…drinking anything including water stirs every thing up

So…

This morning I ate yogurt and lasted two biscuits and so far everything has remained calm. I have a slight headache I am dealing with, but can’t take meds for that because it can set my stomach off. So I need to be very careful with what I eat for the next few days. Yogurt and some bone broth will be on my menu
