Day 3

 Hello All! 

I took a half mile walk this morning, which is just around the block, because I knew I was going to jump rope today. For the jump rope, I set a timer for 1 minute and do however many I can in that time. I'm not very coordinated yet and I get fatigued really quickly, so I can jump 3 or 4 times in a row before the rope gets caught. So I just keep doing it until the timer goes off. So far it's proven to be good exercise. I'm definitely getting my heart rate up. I ought to wear my fitbit while I do exercise so I can actually track it better. 

I'm hoping to work up to several minutes, but I need to get where I can jump consistently for 1 minute first. My plan for the future is to do 1 minute at a time, take a short break, then do another minute and so on. I think it'll take me a while to get there though. 

I was pretty hot and kind of hungry so I had some raspberries. Maybe 10-15. I also had almonds about mid-morning. 

For lunch I wanted something quick so I made cold chicken tacos in 2 low-carb tortillas, with cheese and lettuce. They were good. I felt hungry after I finished them but after 15 minutes or so I stopped feeling hungry. This was after I made tea and got chocolate though! lol 

A little later, around 3:30 pm, I had some cashews and a Duke's sausage. 

For dinner I had pot roast with a "salad"; mostly just lettuce and half a bell pepper. I was still hungry after but I didn't want to chance eating too much and feeling sick, so I waited about an hour. Then I had some tea and more chocolate. 

For a bedtime snack I had some cut up strawberries and peanut butter. I had maybe 7 small strawberries. I would use natural peanut butter if I had it, but I don't so I used Jif. It's not that different in terms of carbs but it does have sugar and vegetable oils in it so it is the less healthy option. 

There are a few things I need to get that I forgot about when I shopped before I started this. 

That's all for today!
