What a Difference Some Rice Makes!

Last night I had stir fry for dinner with my partner. We had basmati rice from the punjab with the stir fried veges and chicken (apparently that is the ONLY rice to eat I am told). We have been using the vegetalbes we ordered last week and they are much better than the veges we get at the stores in our area, and there was a good mix of different kinds. Given that they are also cheaper, and delivered to our home, as well as being better, it seems like a pretty easy decision to carry on ordering them.

Anyways, the rice that I had last night seemed to be able to power me through the workout this morning. I went so much better than yesterday, even though I was pretty tired during the workout I found that I could push myself and do better. I feel good too, which is more than could have been said at this time yesterday. Tomorrow I am off to the gym to work out in the spin class with the trainer, so that should be interesting. I did 50 minutes on the treadmill (only walking) after the workout this morning to assist with my recovery and avoid (hopefully) being overly sore tomorrow morning, and of course Sunday.

Another loss this week which is encouraging. Not quite what I had thought I was in for, I had thought that I would be losing about .5 of a kg each week, or about 1.1lbs. I didn't quite make it, but I am still heading in the right direction which is the most important thing. Who knows, there could be a big loss coming up as I do seem to go in cycles. Look at it this way, at least I have less to push around the track on Sunday than I would have if I had done it last week! One good thing is that I am sneaking up on being half way to my goal weight, I think that there should be some sort of celebration when that point is reached.

Well, chalk up another loss and any week there is a loss is a good week. I have made some enquiries about getting a blood test and it seems that I can do one on Monday. I am required fast over night and before the test is taken, so I couldn't do the test yesterday or today because I must eat before working out with the trainer. I am planning to go in on Monday morning and get the blood sugar, thyroid, liver function, and cholesterol check up. It'll be interesting to see what comes back...
