Monday & Daily Health Report - April 26

Yesterday proved to be a difficult day. Ibuprofen and a heating pad were the order of the day when I got off the computer to watch TV and get my bicep curls accomplished. By then I had close to 10K steps and my knees weren't happy, they were in a lot of pain. I know I'm not ready for 10K steps yet, but that's what happened yesterday. This morning I woke to find changes. Good changes. My feet and ankles are usually taught and feel swollen most of the time, even though they don't look swollen. This morning, they look wrinkled, loose skin around the base of my ankles. I also feel better than I have in a long time. The pain is gone in my knees, which is good, and I feel like I can do more than I did before-more energy. I stepped on the scale and was happy to see I lost 1.6 pounds of what I gained. I still have one pound to go to get back to my lowest weight. I have no doubt I'll get there. I just finished eating, popping the circuit doing so. I can't have three appliances turned on at the same time. I made a pot of tea, ran the microwave, and had the griddle on. Pop! I turned off the coffee pot and turned it back on after I turned the others off. So, it's already been an interesting morning, and the day is just beginning. Here are the numbers and what I ate yesterday. Breakfast - 1 Banana, 3 Eggs, 1 Slice Bacon, 1 Potato Calories: 480 Sugar: 13 Carbs: 51 Protein: 28.1 Sodium: 461 Fat: 19.8 Lunch - 1 Sandwich Steak, 1 Bag - 3 servings - Riced Sweet Potato and Cauliflower, Half an Onion Calories: 342 Sugar: 5.35 Carbs: 38 Protein: 6.6 Sodium: 47.2 Fat: 9 Snack - 1 Apple, 1 Serving Almond Butter, 1 Hard-Boiled Egg, 2 Bananas Calories: 535 Sugar: 44 Carbs: 78 Protein: 15.7 Sodium: 74 Fat: 22.9 Total Stats: Calories: 1357 Sugar: 62.35 Carbs: 167 Protein: 50.4 Sodium: 582.1 Fat: 51.7 My intention was to cut my sodium way down to get rid of the water weight. It worked. I'm doing the same again today. Calories burned: Bicep Curls - 2 Hours - 894 Steps - 10,819/4.10 Mile - 618 Total calories burned - 1512 Total calories = -155 I did okay yesterday.
