Once again I woke up feeling dehydrated. I didn't actually go to sleep until 3:45 or something, and rolled outta bed around noon. Not very up an at 'em, I'll admit.
Activities
34 minute walk, 1.95 miles.
Yesterday we went to the gym and today I feel a little sore, but not too bad. Because I worked out a fair amount and because we're going for a hike tomorrow, I didn't do any resistance training today. I walked down Hawthorne to get a haircut, and later I went for an actual timed walk.
When I was out wandering up and down the street I tried my best to stand up straight. I read in You On A Diet that pulling in your lower abs and butt as if you are trying to fit into a pair of pants, and lifting your spine up out of your torso, helps your posture and keeps your metabolism ticking over a bit more. I received similar instructions in that yoga class I took last week.
Food
Peanut Butter and Banana Wrap (whole wheat tortilla)
8 oz chocolate milk
1 orange
2 laughing cow mini babybel cheeses
turkey sandwich with 1/3rd an avacado
15 baby carrots
8 oz chocolate milk again
Dingo's Taco Bar
Ahi soft taco (no cheese)
Black beans and rice
Guacamole
Some chips and salsa
1/4 package of sourpatch kids (something like 8 pieces)
Water: lost track again, but I think I stayed well hydrated during the day. I just keep waking up feeling dehydrated. Maybe it'll cool off tonight and I won't sweat so much.
Seriously, that's a lot more dairy than I'm used to consuming during the course of a day. I'm glad the probiotics I'm taking are helping me not feel like crap after eating dairy... but I still feel kind of uncomfortable and bloaty. And despite the fact that I'm heading in the right direction, I'm feeling impatient. Hanging out with Joe and his brothers means I have thrice the athletic dudes around which is nice on the eyes but hard on the ego when feeling balloony. I also doubt that these daily one to two pound losses are going to continue much longer, and they probably shouldn't if I want to be healthy about it. But man... I want to be there already. I wish I could go back in time and slap some sense into my younger self. I'd probably just bum a few bucks off him and suggest a good place for margaritas.
Short version: I'm feeling discouraged!
We went out and saw Moon tonight. It was cool / disturbing / intriguing / pretty.
