Morning power walks are brutal. I've been doing a 15 minute warm up on my elliptical in the basement, then head outside and after 30 minutes, I'm a mucky sweat ball. Even at -15C, I'm really working it over the hills here in my neighbourhood. Feels good. Happy my crunchy knees are not suffering!
This week's goals are
1) to find some heavier hand weights I can use at home for my evening workout. I'm up to an 8 lb but it's not enough.
2) look into the costs and pros and cons of a juicer.
Food wise, status quo. Tracking everything. About 80% clean. No recent emotional eating. I've noticed a lot of bloggers are trying the Whole30 and want to learn more. Might give it a try.
Emotionally things are leveling off. My workplace offers free short-term counseling and the psychologist gave me some exercises to do to help me with the ever-present grief. This past couple of weeks were difficult, but it's getting easier to get a good night's sleep. Making good choices throughout the day is a good step in the right direction.
Hi, just found your blog. Never heard of Whole30. I haven't read your past post but I'm sorry for the grief you are experiencing.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking into the pros and cons of a vitamix. Been wanting one for a LONG TIME. But is it worth $400??? Will I use it enough?
Anyhoo-have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by Lucy. And thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteI looked at various juicers and the Vitamix. The juicers look tough to clean but the Vitamix has a powerful little motor and long warrantee. I'm tempted, but if only I can find one on sale :)
