| A recent lunch, except for the apple. |
I've been "walking" sick this week, meaning I felt crummy, but not bad enough to stop me from keeping up with my normal activities, except exercise. I don't feel guilty either. It just did not happen. I gave my all to keep the house running. Plus, I've been eating less and that makes me tired.
I did journal my foods all week. This helps me stay on track. I worked on trying to not need a snack in the morning. This was hard, but I was successful most days. I am also trying not to snack in the afternoon unless there are more than 4 hours between lunch and dinner. Some nights I have to wait until after 7PM to eat with my husband. I usually like to eat before 6. So a little snack at 4 has helped. Of course, I am only supposed to have fruit, nuts, or vegetables for a snack. (Sometimes I need all three! )
I am not sure I feel a lot better at the moment. I have a white spot on my tonsil that is worrying me. It's not sore, but probably means I am still fighting the bug. I may need to go see a doctor, but I hate to pay the expense. I am hoping I can still get better on my own. Therefore, I am not sure about exercising until I feel better.
Setting some goals for this week:
1. Keep trying to limit snacks. Make sure I eat enough at mealtimes to last
2. As soon as I am well, start walking outside again.
3. Keep up the food journal.
4. Make sure I am eating slowly and not putting too much on my plate to start.

Well, except for your illness, it sounds like you've had a good week. Glad that you are eating less and that things are going good. I hope you can start walking more soon.
