The pedometer that I had stopped working. I realized that I was not walking as much without it so dh and I went to walmart, and bought a cheap one. I always wear it at my waist but this time I could not make it work. It was picking up a lot of steps that I was not taking, from my computer room to my stove is about 35 steps but the pedometer said I walked over 200. So I put it on my shoe and it is totally accurate. The only problem is that when I take a step with that foot I hear the pedometer click click. so walking through the house it is step, step click click. I hope I can get used to it.
I walked today for 6 miles total. That was from working in the house and going out for my 2 mile walk. It was chilly so I was bundled up good. My nose stayed cold the entire time I walked. Now my foot is so much better but I walked kinda slow. It took me almost an hour to walk the 2 miles, but I did it. \
The site that I was reading about the diet that did not work out for me, did talk about a few things that I already knew but forgot. Like losing weight is all about calories in and calories out (if you are in good health and nothing wrong with your thyroid) I knew this from my dr. He told me that I could add a zero to my weight and eat less than that in calories and I would lose weight. Don/t cut back too far cause then you stop losing. Also need to exercise. and that will burn off calories too.
I found a really good site that has a lot of calculaters on it The name of the site is
caloriesperhour.com
and at the very top, is all of the calculaters. One that I really like is calories burned calculater. For the 6 miles I walked today I burned off 540 calories. That is really a terrific thing to do. Exercise and then figure up how many calories you have burned off.
I cooked a few vegetables today, I have noticed that when I eat vegetables my appetite seems to stabilize. I don't crave food, and I have no interest in grazing. I hate it when I go to the refrigerator and open it just to see if something has appeared in there since the last time I opened it. And I just get something to nibble on or munch on, cheese usually.Or I go to the pantry and get a handful of cereal, mini wheats, cinnamon toast crunch, etc. I don't do rice Krispies that way, I would leave a trail of cereal throughout the house.
Calories for today was 1540
I ate tuna, okra, squash, turkey breast, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, carrots, potatoes, coffee, southern butter beans, Good healthy food. After I ate my last meal around 3 pm, I was done with eating for the day, and I have worked around in the kitchen and have not felt tempted to munch and snack.
It has been a good diet day, a good exercise day, and I spent some wonderful time worshipping my Heavenly Father.
Sleep well everyone
God bless
