From Uma, KT’s Travel Companion – Tues., June 17, 2015
My progress report today
My exercise count –
Contented despite hectic day!
Morning – climbed staircase 20 steps – 6 reps (no break) – step counts (273 x 5 mins), then did some arm and shoulders exercise for about 10 minutes.
Head to the gym in the evening. My 2 gym buddies abandoned me eleventh hour. They got stuck at work. How I wish I stayed back too but my teammates acted like an alarm clock. Someone asked…are you exercising tonight? See picture at the gym.
Did bicycling (vigorous) – steps count 303 steps x 15 min + cross trainer (moderate) – steps count 242 x 25 mins
My produce – fell short of the target. Skipped lunch but manage 2 veggie servings i.e lotus roots steamed with carrots and indian dhall curry with chapatti (indian wheat bread) for dinner.
Had 6 – 8 pieces of black grapes but didn’t realise I went above the Tour Bus ( 6- 8 glasses of water) target today – enjoyed my favorite drink (see daily tonic pic).
Usually level stored at 1800 ml…today sipped down to 600 ml topped that effort with 1 mineral bottle @ 500 ml at the gym. Great!
10 minutes silence – did that close to 11.30 pm but now cannot sleep close to 1 am L. Will read the newspaper on bed…that will do the trick!
I must admit it is getting tougher as days go by…
Regards,
Uma

Uma, Thanks for being so authentic in your posts.
Keep up the good work, it’ll get easier! I’ve read it takes anywhere from 21 to 66 days for habits to stick. If it’s the former, we’re already 2/3 of the way there.
We all struggle, for me the steps are the hardest because I’m in an office. Now I find myself home pacing across my apartment at 11PM to meet the steps. TO everyone: find what works and keep pursuing your goals.
Good luck!

Thank you LuAnn….that no of flight stairs seems scary but I am eager to go straight up to our 17th floor, something I envy Caren & Hairy doing it so often. If nothing at all, to obtain slimmer thighs

Tough is the right word and for me eating produce on non-vege days is a great challenge… Gee! Up at 4.45 am to take a walk? Where do you find such motivation so early in the day?
