Ranting aside...

It looks like all I posted yesterday were WW rants. Sorry! I am still trying to work through all that, but we'll see where I end up opinion-wise on WW for myself. I still don't understand when you're supposed to count something as one serving and when you're supposed to count it as two. If you wait half an hour between eating your first cup of soup and your second, does it count as two individual servings? That's .8 points. If it doesn't count as individual servings, despite the break between them, it's 1.6 points. I'm just confused on that front.

But this post isn't about WW. This post is about yesterday. I felt lousy all day yesterday, and unfortunately my eating reflected that. Ate a little junk food in the afternoon, then we had Taco Time for dinner. Definitely not the way I planned for yesterday to go! I woke up with a headache and just had ZERO energy throughout the day. Didn't feel well at all. But after we got home from dinner Ellie and I hot tubbed and I felt a little better after that, so I went for a run outside. Yes, A RUN! I did the full loop around the subdivision, which is a little over 2 miles. I alternated running and walking, but ran over half of the distance. Go me! I was feeling good about it when I came home (go endorphins!) so I went down to the basement and lifted weights. I would really like to get back into my T/Th weight regimen. I'm not doing heavy weights, mind you, but even light strength training is beneficial and a necessary part of healthy living.

Today I am back on track, even though I feel like I have no energy still. I added iron to my nutrient tracker, though I don't think I'm lethargic due to an iron deficiency. Still, it can't hurt to at least make sure I'm getting enough in my diet. Despite my lack of energy, I put Ellie in the backpack and walked to Bible study today. Wow! Adding 30 lbs makes it harder to walk! But we went to Bible study even though I didn't feel like going and I'm glad we did. After Bible Study I called Taylor and we walked over there and let Ellie and Corinne play for a while. Then I put Ellie back in the pack and walked home. All told I walked about 45 minutes with Ellie in the pack, walking at a brisk (as briskly as I could!) pace.

Now she's napping and I just want to munch on stuff. But we're having Clint, Taylor, and the girls over for dinner tonight, so I need to figure out what I'm making before I munch on anything. So far (after breakfast and lunch) I'm at 350 calories, 3 g. fat, and 9 g. fiber for the day. That puts me at 5-6 points, depending on the soup count. See rant above. So I've got 13-14 left for dinner and afternoon snacks.

And today I'm trying to drink straight water, without my Fulfill added in. It's tough!
