Day 38

TIP OF THE DAY: Avocados have a heart healthy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Add a few slices to your sandwich as an alternative to mayonnaise.

Today was a good day. I got on the treadmill for 10 minutes. I am starting off slow per Dr. orders. On Thursday I will add 2 more minutes on the treadmill and every 3 or 4 days I will add 2 more minutes depending on how my body reacts to it. I am just doing a slow walk.

Today I was in some discomfort due to a flair up with Crohn's. I pushed myself to get on the treadmill today and I am glade I did. Yes the discomfort got a little worse but I just slowed down.

What I had today;

BREAKFAST:
1/4 cup Oatmeal-1 point (I had put 1/2 cup of oatmeal in the container but 1/2 of it spilled out into the microwave at work!)
1 banana-2 points

LUNCH:
1 6 inch Veggie sub-5 points
1 bag of Honey Wheat Pretzels-4 points (WOW, if I knew it was 4 points, I don't think I would have had it.)
1 Diet pop-0 points

(I needed some caffeine today to stay up and I can't drink coffee if I don't have time to spend in the bathroom and I was not sure what else to get so I grabbed a coke. but I did ask my coworkers, and they had told me to try some Green Tea on Ice. So tomorrow if I need that boost, I will try that.)

DINNER:
1 Gyro-11 points

WORKOUT:
10 minutes on the Treadmill- Gained 1 point!!!

Total points: 23 out of 31 points for the day. But after the workout the TRUE point value is 22 out of 31 points for the day. I know that I did not eat all my points but it seems like when I have a Crohn's flair up, my Acid Reflex seems to act up as well...

I had my pedometer on today but again I don't think it picked up every step. It said that I waled 4,2002 steps all day....hmm not sure about that.

I also drank 6 cups of water today as well!! WOO HOO I got it back up there!!

Well, that's all for tonight, Have a great day!!!
