Pre-Christmas Eating surge

So it happened, I got excited and bought all this fatty food such as bacon, mini sausages and rich chocolate and ate heaps over a few days (the week before Christmas) and I got extreme stomach pain in my whole stomach. In addition, when I stood up my lower stomach I had to hold as it felt so heavy and sore. 

I ended up over three days eating bland food and drinking lots of water. Night time for the pain seemed worse. 

It was such a wake up call to just not only over indulge but eat healthier foods. So far I have been eating what I want but I just went to the extreme this week and pushed my body over the edge. 

Now I am thinking it’s best to eat wholesome foods such as vegetables and fruit and limit the oil when cooking foods. I also love chilli foods so not eating chilli or adding onion to my foods is a bit sad. 

I am a huge foodie so this is a devastating blow. But also I have put on 3 kilograms because I have been getting lazy with walking and over eating. 

Have you ever had a health situation where you needed to change the way you eat to avoid and ease the health problems? Please comment below. 

With Christmas around the corner, I think Christmas will be more of a healthier version this year and hope my stomach is back to normal by then as well.

Testing, testing day two

Image
  Image via:  https://theincmagazine.com/the-history-of-10000-steps/ When you first set out to exercise day one is fully pumped, yet it’s what comes next which is most important.  Day two. I thought I would go for a walk for an hour and I assumed in that time I would walk 10,000 steps. Because yesterday I went for a longer walk and reached 10,000 steps…. Oooh, I just worked it out. This makes sense now. After my walk today, I got home, all proud of myself. I checked my step counter and I had done 6,000 steps. I was disappointed and I didn’t want to go back out for a second walk.  But as I said above, I just realised why an hour didn’t give me the result I was seeking. Because yesterday I went for an hour and twenty minute walk which gave me the 10,000 steps not an hour. Oh silly me. Oh well.  Anyway, what I wanted to say was, did I achieve my goal when I said I wanted to walk 10,000 steps a day and I only walked 6,000 steps?  The answer is yes. Here is why....

I bought a treadmill

Image
: :Image sourced via https://www.google.com/amp/s/languagetool.org/insights/post/pros-and-cons-meaning/amp/ have to say, I stopped walking for a couple of weeks due to swooping of birds and the weather and put on weight. I knew I had to do something so I could walk again.  So I bought myself a treadmill. I placed it in front of my TV and have been walking every day on the treadmill.  There are huge advantages for having a treadmill, such as: If it’s dark outside you can walk inside.  If it’s raining outside, you can walk anyway. You can watch your favourite TV shows and walk.  You can go on your treadmill at any time of day or night.  There are also some disadvantages:  Treadmills are bulky. They are sort of, in the way and are heavy to move out of the way, but not impossible.  For some reason I walk less on a treadmill than if I was walking around outside. At the beginning my legs hurt after the treadmill and I also felt a bit dizzy but after a week t...

Would you walk on your weekend?

Image
  Image via:  https://becomenomad.com/using-your-weekends-to-explore/ Good morning walkers, So this morning I decided it’s the weekend and I am going to be up early. I was have a full day planned so I thought I could either not go for a walk today or do it first thing in the morning before my day began.  And that’s what I did. Today I woke up at six in the morning and was out walking by 6:45. I did check the amount of steps around 7am, which was about 2,000. I really wanted to finish hahaha but I kept going.  I kept going and even walked further forward so I knew it would take longer to get back. Then when I decided it was time to turn around, I didn’t just walk straight back (as much as I wanted to), I went down a hill and around the block and even when there were two sections I could have diverted home quicker, I decided to keep going the long way home.  I knew I wouldn’t make 10,000 steps. I really didn’t think I would make 5,000 steps. Especially when the de...
