Three tough work-out and weight lifting sessions for the past few weeks. Pushing hard at full weight and getting tired..physically. It adds up to an hour of aerobics and three hours of lifting and stretching. I may skip snow shoeing during lunch today because I felt it in my hips and knees during workout last night.
I'm also concerned that getting too physically tired might make me susceptible to the flu bug that's going around here at work. The woman I work with all day long is out with the flu today. I did get the flu shot but I heard on the news that it's off target this year.
I've also tried to clarify serving sizes by placing a "cup" measurement at the dinner table. I need to see what it physically looks like compared to what's on the plate. I've also started paying attention to the "dark calories" those things at night when the dog wants to go outside and the calories hidden in the small items I grab without thinking (peanuts, gum, tums, candy, etc.).
Maybe...just maybe I can turn the weight gain around.
