How I’m moving & what I’m eating

Thanks for the comment Sue – and you are right. Family, work, blah blah all play into our fitness. But I’d gotten to the point where I never came here to write about what I’m doing for my health, and I want to get back to that.

And another blogger introduced me to those D^% buffalo pretzels, so its only fair I share the love! :-)

I am walk/running in the morning, walking at lunch, lifting weights, and doing HIIT. My goals are AM – 4 times per week, lunch – 5 times, weights – 3 (but I’ve been getting only 2), and 3 for HIIT, but averaging 2. So, doing pretty good. I just need to make a little more effort to get to the gym and up my intensity a bit.

Food has gotten off kilter, but I’m back on board with my 5 small meals (and one after dinner snack). Last night that snack was a sugar free popsicle and half a cup of lowfat chocolate milk. A typical breakfast for me might be a 1 egg + 3 whites omelet with a bit of cheese and a small bowl of oatmeal. Meal 2 is ½ c cottage cheese and berries, with some crushed nuts for fat. Lunch is often a salad with tuna or chicken, some type of bean, olives, a bit of sunflower seeds, and lf dressing. Dinner varies a lot, but I am trying to buy plenty of veggies from the farmer’s market. I need to keep my after dinner snack small – too much food keeps me awake at night. Maybe a pudding or lowcal ice cream bar. It’s not a balanced meal (I’m working on that!), but we eat dinner early so I typically need something around 8.

Well, that’s what I’m doing. I’m also reading Tom Venuto’s ebook “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” – a good read!

Take care.
