heart health

I am finally recovering from last weeks sore spots. Sunday's are nice for recovery. But now I am ready to get back in the pool tomorrow. I don't know that any exercise feels as good as swimming. You don't advance as fast as runners but moving smoothly through the water is supreme.

fell into the the comfort food trap today. Emotional eating. I wasn't content though

heart challenge

The BMI chart is not so fun. My goal long term will of course be to drop from obese to overweight and finally to just right. Oh weight that would be goldilocks. Ha. So I have found this week that 1300 calories assigned by the dietician needs to be approximate for me if I am listening to my body and doing the intuitive eating. By eating whole foods and drinking plenty of water: I am fuller, have plenty of energy and my body is working better. I still lose weight but have the energy to do all of the exercising. Who would have thought after xxx diets that carbs would be a new friend. If you haven't picked it up go to your library and check out a copy of Intuitive Eating.

goals

I feel great that I am on track with my goals. I have been eating lots of whole foods so I am not hungry. Back at it this morning and really enjoying swimming.
