Back To It

Yesterday was my first attempt at getting back to it. I've still got pain from the diverticulitis, but it's improving, and if I'm ever going to lose any weight, I have to just push through it. I got back on a slightly more reasonable eating schedule, and I started trying to walk again. My morning walk was a lot closer to a crawl than a walk, and I didn't even attempt the afternoon session, but at least I did one of them. I'm keeping the time to 10 minutes for a second week since I only did three days last week and then skipped four. It's astonishing how much conditioning I lost in just four days, I don't remember it being like that when I was younger and thinner and working out hard on a regular basis. Anyway, it's a start. On to yesterday's meals...

Breakfast: 1 egg, scrambled, 8 oz sausage - 1.55g
Lunch: Low-carb wrap "sandwich" - 8.75g
Snack: Hard-boiled egg - .56g
Dinner: Bacon, mushroom, and cheese omelette - 7.37g
Dessert: None
Sodium: 5095 mg!
Veggies: 2.62g
Total: 22.02g

We're in a new month now, so it's time to evaluate last month's short-term goal and set a new one...obviously I didn't meet October's goal of exercising twice a day, every day. If it had been only while the diverticulitis was so bad, I might consider it met anyway, but I'd already messed it up before that. I'm going to go ahead and use the same goal for this month, excluding yesterday as being my first recovery day back from the infection. Exercise twice a day, every day for November, and maybe I'll finally get my new tattoo!
