I finally got a good night sleep last night, thank God! I think I passed out from pure exhaustion from not getting enough sleep the last week. I know that Robb Wolf recommends we get 8-10 hours of sleep but that has never been possible for me. Not for lack of trying! I envy people who can sleep. I have never been able to sleep more than 6-7 hours a night and I feel fully rested with that amount of sleep.
Today I started my day by eating some leftover shrimp salad and cauliflower mash. It was a beautiful sunny day here in Portland, OR so after breakfast I went for a nice 2 mile walk, soaking in some much needed vitamin D. Such a beautiful day and I had a pep in my step because of it.
I snacked a bit on fresh coconut and about 1/8 of a cup of cashews at about 2 but wasn't hungry enough to eat a full lunch. Dinner consisted of roasted chicken, red cabbage sauteed in coconut oil with a splash of balsamic, 1/4 of a spaghetti squash and some green beans sauteed in coconut oil with fresh squeezed lemon.
My goal today was to walk at least 6000 steps but according to my pedometer, I exceded that by 1400 steps! It helps that I am dog sitting and the woman has 3 dogs that need to be walked separately due to different physical capabilities. In order to add a few extra steps per day I have been parking out in the bood docks and walking across the parking lot. Yeah, I know, it doesn't seem like much but considering I am still a "fat girl" and grossly out of shape due to lack of physical activity because of bone surgery on my foot, I will take what I can get!
I am feeling good!
