Sun Feb 2 Day 12 Ultimate Reset Day 5 Detox. Woke up this morning feeling a bit bloated, this is the first time in weeks that I couldn't see the tendons in my hands. I think it is because I didn't drink enough water yesterday. My stomach is still aching and I had a bit of phlegm in the back of my throat and a bit of a coating on the back of my tongue.
Today I decided that I will try and up my movement. It is still freaking freezing out, so I decided to ride the bike. I rode for 30 minutes, keeping my heart rate @ ~140+, then I spent about an hour stretching and doing Tai Cheng. It felt great especially the band stretches. After the work out I synched my LINK and noticed that none of the activity was tracked at all (this started my disillusionment for the LINK..). I have been noticing that it has not been tracking my stretches, but I thought it was because my heart rate was not elevated enough. Well not the case.. The Link does not have a HR monitor, it is algorithm based, it measures/estimates the activity based on the movement of the monitor (worn on LF arm). This also explains why it doesn't track my steps while in the grocery store (pushing a cart so no normal arm movement). I'm a little disappointed that I didn't do more research, as I am a gym and machine exerciser vs a runner. But I love that it tracks my sleep, and the steps that I do take. It looks like the Garmin vivofit might be a good choice. But will do more research. I want a monitor that will track steps, sleep and heart rate for a more accurate energy expended.
It's Super Bowl Sunday and we are knee deep into the Reset. Chet has been bitching all day that he really wants Wings. Well guess what... I want the blue cheese dip for those wings.. We are to far now.. so we just sucked it up :) I did make him the toasted millet that he has been wanting since he saw it on the menu. It was not that great. The menu calls for it just plain.. YUK.. Now, if it were mixed with Quinoa or Lentils in a salad or pilaf, it would work, but plain.. YUK.. I just took one taste and decided no way would I waste 108 cal for 1/2 C. So my calorie count was lower today. I need to work on keeping input ~1200 cals. When we are done with the Reset we need to plan out our meals and do much of the 'mise en place' on the weekend so weekday meals will be quick and easy and less temptation to eat poorly, or a quick pre-made or packaged dinner.
Breakfast - Shakeo, 1/2 C Pineapple
Lunch - Salad
Dinner - 1 Serving Quinoa Lentil Pilaf, 1/4 serving Lentil salad, 1/2 C Collard Greens
