So, no pity binge for me. I ate my salad with the shrimp on it, then went to a class that is being taught by one of my favorite people. Saw some of my other favorite people. Had a great time. Came home in time to get ready for bed, and off to sleep.

I have decided to do a small tweak to my goals. I am going to allow myself up to 75g of protein instead of only 70g, this is up to 25g at each meal. But in order to allow that I am going to cut my carbs down to 30g instead of 35g. I do not actually feel like I am in NK, and so I am hoping this will push me in. If it starts to interfere with my sleep patterns I will switch it back, but I doubt this.

So STATS:
Calories 1645
Carbs 24g (30g)
Net Carbs 12g (20g)
Fat 143g (140g)
Protein 78g (75g)

Sleep last night...I was in bed for 8:05, slept for7:12 which is an efficiency of 91%. Pretty good, except I had 5 sleep disturbances, so there were no nice long stretches of sleep. I think getting a solid 3 hours at least once in the night makes a huge difference in how I feel the next day. So I will be watching that. Hopefully once I start getting my 10,000 steps again that will take care of it.

grrrr, sad news. the guys brought the box into the basement and started to take the stuff out to put it together and the casing on the treadmill was cracked. So they boxed it back up and are returning it. And I have to re-order it, which I am hesitant to do until the credit shows up on my card. So sh*t, likely another 2 weeks before I get the treadmill. I am....disappointed

Bleh. Sorry to hear this. Stinks a lot. I'll join in the sad panda face parade for you.

This is much better however. Nicely done.

thanks. I am still sad, but I figure over the lifetime of the treadmill 2 weeks is not going to make that much difference. And maybe, this will really make me appreciate it more when I do get it.

I hate that the mill was cracked, but also glad they noticed it and you don't have a crappy unit to deal with. Maybe you could spend your 30 minutes doing some stretching and jumping jacks?

I just haven't exercised. I need to make myself, I am letting work lead me by the nose instead of vice versa.

In this we could be twins.

My son and I do a 4 minute Tabata routine, 1x a week. That is my exercise. I can always find more interesting things to do than to exercise. I will use a treadmill, cause I just walk downstairs and get on it, and won't allow more than 30 minutes on it, no matter what. I watch my fav movies while on it, that I don't get to watch now that it is just me and the boys in the house. But if I have to change clothes or put on shoes, well that gives me time to talk myself into doing something else!

Isn't this sad? I do the exact same thing. "Oh, time to exercise...yeah, but that requires me to put on pants. Huh, tomorrow sounds good for exercise."

[demuralist]

ditto! Or as I am walking into the bedroom to change I see something and start picking up then I get to the bedroom and forget why I went in there, come back out and start up the vacuum.

Chris, glad you didn't let the disappointment of the treadmill derail you!!!!

That's why I like walking. I wear (generally) whatever I have on (except for the shoes - gotta have decent shoes) and can just go. The gym - it was always such an effort

[honeybuns]

Can you do the treadmill in your jammies?
