Day Nine, May 6, 2003
1. Take in calories twice a day. (This is prescribed by my Dr.)
I did really well today. I have such an easier time when I am working. I am always so busy; I dont have time to eat. One regular salad and one broccoli with chicken breat.
2. Drink 3 liters of water/crystal light.
5 ½ liters. This is never a problem.
3. Walk 2 miles (5 days a week).
3 miles in about 50 minutes. It is definitely getting easier. My legs didnt hurt today at all. I walk was great. I really enjoy my walking time. I forgot to mention earlier DH bought me new tennis shoes.
4. Take the steps at work.
Perfect. I forgot to count how many times.
5. Read my dieters journal.
I have been reading it in the mornings before going to work. Today focused on how preserving through challenges just makes you stronger. That is so true for me. If I can eat healthy and exercise on a consistent basis, there isnt anything I cant do.
6. Post in my online journal.
Here I am.
7. Take my vitamins.
I really hate taking pills, but I know that I need my vitamins, especially now that I have decreased caloric intake and increased exercise. I am taking Weight Smart one a day and L-Carnitine 500 mg once a day. It has been three days. I am not sure if it is helping, but I know it is not hurting.
