Day Five, Step Two (Day 12, Step One)

This morning, I am very tired and sore. I still managed to squeeze out some steps (not counted, but, enough to be pleasantly breathless) before  eating some oatmeal. I made an actual serving of oatmeal, instead of a big bunch. I added a little coconut oil and cinnamon, but, that's it.

Since then, I have had a half bowl of the pork stew I made the other day and an inced honey bun. Of course, also, my tea.

I'm worried about the tea. Just because I am starting to run out of turmeric and ginger. I am thinking I cannot keep this up. This does not mean I will stop drinking it, but, I am thinking I may have to limit it to two or three times a week. Right now, of course, the problem is if I run out of spices before I get any more money and have to give it up, for a while, altogether.

Also, I think I am doing it wrong. I saw a video where a girl was talking about how she lost weight, and, she said she was drinking green tea an hour after each meal. I can't remember her reasoning for it, but, anyway - I think I need to drink the tea before meals or after meals.

I also feel like I still need to do some tweaking on the exercise schedule. Doing it before and after each meal is kind of onerous.  I think, maybe, doing it three times, either before or after each meal would work better.

It bears some thinking about, anyway. Because, in addition to needing aerobics, I want to add in the Makka Ho Stretches in the morning, some posture exercises, and, of course, some strength training sort of exercises (which can also be aerobic) such as push ups.  But, I want to do all this without being totally stressed out. (sigh)

I have made more tea, with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and Stevia. In the oven, chicken hindquarters are baking, which are seasoned with garlic seasoning mix, apricot pineapple jelly, all spice, cinnamon, chili powder, and, lime juice. Maybe other stuff. I don't remember. In the microwave, much as I hate the b east, is rice seasoned with cumin, allspice and paprika. I may add some other things to the rice, in a little while, like leeks, onion, kale, tomatoes. I just don't know.

I ended up eating a full chicken leg, about 2 cups of rice with leeks and onions, and about 8 pieces of baked asparagus. Later, I had a King Size Snickers and some diet soda.

I also had some more tea, with lemon juice and apple cider vinegar.
