So I must be on par with the activity of a clam or snail.... Went back to work after the holidays yesterday (I work at home so the bedroom to the office/dining room table was my rush hour...). I happily strapped my Christmas present Fitbit on my wrist and went about my day. At about 5, when the kids were trolling for food, I glanced at my Fitbit. I know that 10,000 steps is the goal, but what I saw made me pause. I had taken 548 steps since 8AM! Hmmmm, that running and being active thing has totally and obviously lost it's appeal. Can't wait to ramp up to 1000 steps! Maybe it will be more attainable if I leave the house.
So today, up at 5:45AM to shovel. 150' of driveway with a shovel is hard. I have more steps today.
I am tracking my food intake on this pre-op test of the post-op diet phase. I am keeping special track of the Carb/Sugar as that is the goal to really detox off of those pesky carbs. Shooting to keep under 40g and maybe only 10g of those carbs as Sugar. So far so good. The protein is a challenge, shooting for 60g-80g there. Fage 0% yogurt and egg beaters helping the cause. My calorie count is super low, which is really good I guess, but the shoveling really wiped me out today with so few calories. Getting the water in today was tough too. I used hot tea and coffee a couple times since I started to feel cold.
Went to my PCP for the final approval and she looked over my pre-op labs and such. She was so excited for me, first time in a long time that I have had a doctor who has been so supportive of me, glad I chose her back in 2009!
Did a little more nesting today. Getting organized feels good, like a couple other things I am getting under control.
