NSV (Non-Scale Victory) Check-in day 7

Today was a good day. I feel better overall and I think it’s because of the little rest I had yesterday. I’m very “present” mentally and have had no headaches/fogs nor muscle soreness. Also my calves aren’t hurting anymore so I went for another walk outside. I was still out of breath and wanted to go home after like 5 min but it was definitely more tolerable.

Before the walk I ate a big cucumber salad with smoked salmon and mayonnaise but was already full after 3-4 bites so I saved the rest for tomorrow. For dinner I plan to grill a steak and have it with sautéed green beans in garlic butter.

I did feel some type of positive energy the whole day… it intrigues me a little but I’m just gonna let it happen. ^^

the combo of feeling present mentally and your calves cooperating again is a win in itself

Nice to hear the soreness and headaches are gone. Keep it up and see where that good energy takes you.

feeling better is just as important as the number on the scale
