Day 43

I have one chin!

I looked in the mirror yesterday and discovered I am down to one chin. That was very exciting.

What do you do when your pedometer leaves you

Well, you have to actually learn to watch how long and how much exertion you're using when you walk. I found a bunch of stuff on itunes. Podrunner is pretty good if you like to walk or run with just instrumental tracks. Exercise Radio had a really good mix (Cardio Mix #12) to be exact. It has music with words it's gay, gay dance music so some of you aren't going to like it.) BTW, those 53 minutes were a much better workout than the almost two hours I was doing walking about. Plus, less exposure to the elements. Fitpod is pretty good.I also downloaded some meditation and yoga video podcasts. This comes in handy when your boyfriend is watching Lost and you just want to do yoga upstairs.

Calcium = Kidney Stones?

So I'm upping my calcium because I've got osteoporosis in our family and I don't want to be 3 feet tall like my grandma when I'm 80. Apparently, too much calcium and eating too much meat (which is not a problem out there for me but basically limit it to a hamburger a day or a 7 ounce steak a week) I'm only consuming about 1000mg a day with high calcium food so I should be cool and I take B6. I LOVE salt though so I'm going to have to watch out for that. But it's so fargin' tasty. 1 in 10 people suffer kidney stones - ouch!

Journaling

I actually starting writing in an actual diary lately. It's very beneficial. I wrote my goal this year is to treat myself better and find inspiration in well, me. I've looked for others to sort of fill that void. Man, I sound like an Oprah episode.
