I had another awesome day, my "Tiger Blood" is in full swing as today I ended up doing some yard work outside which was over 4 hours of raking leaves and bagging them, I ended up having 12 bags done and the worst part is that I still have the other half of my yard to do. We own a big piece of property which we love but boy it's a lot of work keeping up with it. I could not imagine having a full time job and then trying to keep up with all of this. I'm thankful to be a stay at home mom and I don't mind pulling my weight around here. I actually enjoy doing some of the outdoor stuff but I will say if I don't see another leaf for a while I will be okay with that. I also cut the grass on my riding lawn mower and cleaned the pool. I was pretty much outside all day yesterday but it was so beautiful out and this stuff needed to get done. The best part is that I was suppose to get a weight training session in but with everything I was doing plus all the stuff with the kids last night it didn't happen and I'm okay with that. I did check my Garmin watch and ended up doing 11,555 steps for the day which was 5.33 miles...wow that was a lot of walking and moving for a none workout day. It just goes to show you how pumped and energetic was, I know I will be feeling it tomorrow in my lower back and legs as it was a lot of bending over and picking up.
I did not drink as much water as I needed cause my lips were feeling dry and I was constantly thirsty so I tried to make up for it in the afternoon and evening. I will do much better tomorrow on making sure I hydrate my self to help heal my body and muscles. My food was good today, I did end up having a snack in the afternoon which was grapes and 2 small oranges I was so hungry even after lunch but I made sure it was a good choice and W30 compliant. I was very proud of my self as we took the girls a local High School Softball game last night and I was surrounded but lots of yummy temptations, chocolate, sugar treats, nachos and cheese and popcorn but I didn't have one taste or lick of anything. I actually looked at what my husband and daughter bought and then turned to my friend and kept talking, it didn't bother me at all. This was a huge test for me and the fact that I didn't even want any of it just shows how far I have come, as I start preparing my self to move out of this journey into the real life long term journey I need to continue to remind my self when I look at foods is that going to make me feel good or will it make me feel miserable? As long as I remember how I'm feeling now and continue to stay on this path I will get through this and will put me on a great path to a more healthier and longer life style.
