Health Journey 2023 - June 23rd

Tweet

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I hope that you are doing well... Back to share how I have done this week, and specifically today on my health journey. Weigh in: Monday: 220.6 Today (well the 23rd) - 223.6 I went up 3 pounds. I am not sure why I went up - I guess other than my calories are just still too high. I know my carbs have been way too high, also.. I have been working out the past 3 days - I have been starting out slow. Monday I did run around at the park with Eli, playing Frisbee. I took Tuesday off because it was laundry day Wednesday I did a 20 minute workout, that's all I could handle. Thursday I did a 30 minute workout Then today (well I guess officially it is Saturday now) - I did an hour workout. I ended the day with a little over 8,000 steps My blood sugars were a bit more stable today, to my surprise even though I did have more carbs. I did see a big spike after my workout - but that is normal...the body releases glucose when working out. A couple hours later my sugar was a lot better even after having an extra snack. So what did I eat today? Meal 1 - Chicken sandwich (with a breaded chicken patty) Meal 2 - Cheesy noodle bowl Snack/Dessert - ice cream Snack later - swiss rolls Not sure the exact macros for the day, but I think I did burn at least 500 calories in the workout. I am going to try to get back on the low carb wagon, at least, after the July 4th festivities. I know some will say start now, but that's not realistic for me. I will keep working out though, I think it is helping my blood sugar some at least. I hope if I keep working out and trying to at least keep the calories lower that I will start losing. What do you think of the plan, and the day of eating/working out?
