Just past the 1/2 way mark of Whole30.  It seems to be getting a little easier ... well somewhat.  I'm starting to miss certain things more than I did at first.  Like coffee.  Since I don't drink coffee black and I can't have creamer ... I just cut it out all together.

Food wise was awkward today.  Breakfast was normal.  I missed lunch altogether --- not on purpose.  I had a training class that started at 12:00 today but it was an hour away.  I thought I'd be able to grab something…

Tomorrow is WW weigh-in. From what I am seeing on the home scale, the small weight gain I had last week should be gone.

 

Today was a very busy activity day....I figure about 5 hours of outside type work, from hauling and spreading mulch to helping hubby put all the lumber for our addition into the garage.

 

Eating over the past few days was ok, by tracking everything over the last few weeks I'm beginning to notice I eat way too many breads & meats. So, when…

I have done well so far with my 30 Day Challenge. No chocolate at all. I will have a cliff bar or fig newtons in I need a treat, but chocolate is off limits for the next 28 days! I've made good choices and I feel really good. Maybe sugar is not so great for moods. Today was was mostly wholesome foods from the banana w/tablespoon of peanutbutter for breakfast to my homemade 3 bean salad I made from scratch for lunch. The snacks were cherries,…

Well, a tiny gain this week of 0.2 pounds. And I am quite alright with that. Sure, I hate to see the scale going in the wrong direction, but I also know that it could have been WAY worse this week. For example, in the past my week would have looked like this:

Tues: Burger and fries at Red Robin

Fri: every last bite of my Tre Formaggi at Vincenzos, at least 2 rolls, salad, plus frozen yogurt

Saturday: baby shower food--french toast casserole, sausage/egg casserole,…

I started my day off feeling pretty crummy about the progress I have not been making. I gave in to my craving for ice cream even after resisting it all day and to top it off I didn't just have a small butterfinger flurry but went with the large. I don't know why I couldn't have just stuck with the small. It wasn't that small and at least I would have spared myself some of those calories.

My big plan to workout this weekend so didn't happen. I am still trying to figure out what I am…

I've been trying to lose weight for 6 years now and to be honest, I have not had my heart in it, but you know how at some point there is that moment when you realize that you are ready to be accountable to take control... well hello I'm finally here! :) I'm using various methods to change my bad habits and live a healthy lifestyle because I finally feel like I am so worth that. I'm so amazed at my body and it's ability to carry what it has, but it this has got to stop. I'm currently 259lbs!!…

What am I up to? - asks the page.

I am up to too high a weight.

Sometimes it takes one of those moments - you know the ones - to get me back into serious weight loss.

I had one of those today. My work had an activity for the entire department at a zipline place near my work. Sounded fun.

My weight was above the limit. I emailed my HR lady, and she said that no, the actual limit was much higher, so go ahead and come if I want.

So I did.

They had a…

Good morning!



I have to say, I am loving weight lifting!! I look forward to it. I'm not a total newbie when it comes to the weight room. I played sports in high school and did some weight training throughout college. It just hasn't been as structured as this Live Fit program and I love it!



My eating choices are what I need to focus on. Like I said before, I'm not in complete control of what comes into the house given my money situation at this time, but I'm through using… Continue

I'm excelling at the eating clean aspects of LiveFit, but I admit that I'm a few days behind in the workouts.  I'm not sure exactly how many because I don't have my binder with me.  I'm hoping to get caught up on the workouts so that I can start Week 5 on Wed.!  I'm excited to add in cardio, but also nervous as I'm apparently  having some difficulty with falling behind on busy days.  I also have to look up if I can break up the cardio and strength into different sessions, am-pm.  I think…

A nice morning! Yeah.

I did a 3 minute walk / 5 minute run segment today. Not easy. After three groups I ended up doing a 4 minute walk / 4 minute run instead. And then a 4 minute walk / 6 minute run to finish.

Still need to figure out how to eat better. Too many distractions. I bought a small chocolate cake to celebrate Father's Day. Decided on the small because we didn't need more than that. But even so. Its still cake! And this weekend is my son's graduation, and I promised…
