REDISCOVERING SALAD

When I was successful losing weight two years ago, I am fairly certain that I was eating a lot more salad. I used to eat only salad at 'Subways'. It wasn't too long before I decided that I preferred a footlong sandwich. I need to rediscover salads. My latest addition is the prepackaged ready-to-eat salads that one can buy at virtually any good grocery store. I am (re)learning that salad tastes very good when one is genuinely hungry.

I think I have settled on the proper settings for my workouts on my home treadmill. The incline was set to 4 and the speed was set to 4.1mph. The workout is invigorating and not easy.

WORKOUT HIATUS

Since my MARATHON and additional 10+ mile WALKING on Sunday, I have not had a traditional workout. I have not had a long bike ride or a long walk. I have not been on an elliptical machine. I am starting to feel badly about this. Two nights ago, when I spent 10+ minutes running in place in the guest room of my friend's house where I was staying, I developed a new pain in my calves. Last night in Rolla, Missouri is once again was running in place for about 10 minutes prior to midnight just so that I could get my step total to get over 10000 for the day. This only exacerbated the pain in t my calves. My afternoon appointment selling buttons, trims and fabrics became a 'marathon' sales call as I arrived at an account in Rolla at 2:30PM and did not leave the store until 11:30PM. Whatever plans I had to try to squeeze in a workout were scuttled by my schedule. Before I leave Rolla today, I am going to take a one hour walk around town, to get in a true workout and to enjoy the sights and sounds of Rolla, Missouri.

Perhaps it looks silly that I write calories burned for the day was Zero. What I mean is that I did not burn many more additional calories over and above the calories burned based on my Basal Metabolic Rate.

Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories one burns if one stayed in bed all day.
