The last 2 weeks have been a challenge for me, both personally and eating-wise. I slipped and started eating whatever I wanted, not limiting my carbs and not watching the sugar intake, so I guess I was on Phase F-it. This weekend I felt sick when I would go to bed, and I knew that was my sign to get back on the program. I'm on Phase 1.5, eating only 2 servings of whole grains and 2 servings of fruit. When I went to bed last night I wasn't nauseated and I didn't feel like I was going to fly out of my skin with nerves.
I've been walking, and I joined a gym to do some upper body work, as well as H2O aerobics, and I feel good about that. Last night was the training for the upper body, and I warmed up on the stationary bike. I could have done that for 20 minutes or more, really. That was great. My heart rate was good, I felt energized when I finished. After, she taught me how to do free weights for my upper body, as well as a couple machines. I expected to be sore today, but I'm not. Advil at bedtime... a good thing.
Tonight the kids do their training and I hope I can get in another 10 or 15 minutes on the bike. I walked my Old Man dog, Bear this morning (my walking partner is out of town) and we did just over a mile. He's still recovering (massive panting from the floor), and I'm ready to get a shower.
