I am very bloated this morning. I can feel it in my face, hands and feet. I hate the way it feels, I'm all puffy and my skin feels stretched. I believe it is a combination of food and flying. Yesterday's calories were fine. I ate a veggie omelet for breakfast and a (large) turkey wrap for lunch. I ate dinner at the airport so I had a Luna Bar and some smoked almonds. But for two days I ate at diners and I know there was a ton of salt and who knows what else in the food. I am glad to be home where I have complete control over all of the food I put in my mouth. I am glad I don't mark my chart until Monday. The plan is for this two pounds to be gone by then.
I did notice something interesting about the exercise yesterday. When I woke up in the morning I did not want to go down to the hotel fitness room and work out. I was tired and I wanted to stay in bed. But I got up and went downstairs. The first 15 minutes on the treadmill were hard. I didn't want to be there, my body was resisting the movement, and I had to force myself to keep going. I said to myself, "OK, just do this for half an hour, at least that's something." When that half hour was up, I felt OK so I said, "I can do another 15 minutes, this is fine." So I stayed on the treadmill for 15 more minutes. By the time 45 minutes had gone by, it was getting easy and it was a no-brainer to stay on the treadmill for the rest of the hour. The last 15 minutes were by far the easiest and it felt like I could easily run another 30 minutes at that pace. By the time I was 40 minutes into my run yesterday, it was simply a matter of clicking off the minutes. I need to remember that the first 15 minutes are the hardest. Don't give up, just push through and it will get easier!
