Weekly check in 1-18
Only a .8lb loss this week, but I'll take it, especially considering that a) it was period week b) I went way over calories one day/ made some higher fat food choices this week, and c) had a wedding and reception to attend with no real way of tracking the food. A couple of good NSV's (non-scale victories) this week definitely help with that positive outlook.
1) I can increase both my time and pace on the bike without feeling like I'm gonna faint and fall out. I'm rotating between 30-45 minutes right now, and averaging between 13-14 MPH for at least half that time according to the speedometer
2) I was able to wear a skirt to the wedding that I haven't worn in at least four years, possibly longer. And I looked damn good in it! As a side note to that, I wore my heels for nine hours and only started hurting that last hour. I'll chalk that up to increased leg strength, baby! Though gods, I never realized how much wearing them works my muscles in different ways!
Just a note: I'm adjusting my 101 in 1001 goals regarding exercise. Right now, I'm just specced to do my bike every day for X time frame. I really need to rotate in some upper body workouts and give my leg muscles a break periodically. So I'll be changing that to simply exercising each day. But not until I find either a good workout video or upper body workout that I can do without dying.
Observation: My diet is too high in fats. I know this. I really need to work some fresh veg into it. But I'm doing really good right now just to afford my once a day banana. I am for the most part at the mercy of whatever![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uglygrandmother has in the kitchen/fixes for dinner, which is not always the healthiest option. I would rather eat what's available and make it work than not eat and send my body into starvation mode. I also know if I change my diet too radically too quickly, my body will shut down. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, don't really wanna do it again.

I do have a granola cereal and almond milk at work for when I'm a) broke or b) working a shift where I only get a fifteen minute break.
As for fiber in particular, I'm actually usually over the recommended intake. Not really a bad thing, unless I forget to drink enough water to balance it out. hrm...I need to remember to mention that the reason there's a lack of liquids on my food list is that I drink almost exclusively water- usually at least 64 ounces a day, sometimes a glass or so less.

I mainly only use frozen fruit in cooking. If I want to eat fruit, I want fresh fruit if at all possible. It's a texture thing. Veggies, though, are another matter, and I'm slowing trying to work them into my diet more.
