I forgot!

I tried a new snack around lunch time today and forgot to take pics!

I am trying to branch out and eat better and come up with new ideas for snacks and lunch. I will remember to take pics. next time and post them.

Also, I got new glasses ordered today so I will be able to see small print from far away better now.

That is all my news for now, stay tuned.

HappyFriday!!!

I forgot to post this, lol

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all are well and staying active and hopefully getting outside in this beautiful weather. 

I have not been outside a whole lot but I have been doing dance workouts and trying some workouts on Fitbit too. It’s great since I got the Nintendo Switch because I have Just Dance 2020 and I got Zumba so I can have fun dancing and still get a workout in.

Also, I downloaded a demo of fit boxing on the switch and I love it! Of course, I want to get it but bills are first so boxing will have to wait for now.

I started looking at healthy snack ideas on Pinterest (I barely go on) and found a few recipes of foods I would like to try. I will plan ahead for this and make sure I have enough money aside when I go grocery shopping. 

One thing I can make when I’m home that is healthy is eggs with veggies. I could scramble the egg or get a muffin pan and add vegetables or do ham and cheese in some and bake them in the oven.

Right now I am trying to not use the oven because it’s very warm outside so I may just cook on the stovetop for eggs.

I am using a few apps to track my food intake, it’s not easy but I think I have done very well this week in logging food. I use the MyFitnessPal app and I use Fitbit too. I got a Fitbit long before I got an Apple Watch so now I use both.

Both apps are very close when I log my food and it’s great to see my progress. In the Fitbit app, I track weight since I have a Fitbit scale and it tacks body fat too. I do use an app (once a week) to do measurements and see if I have lost any inches.

Some weeks are better than others but the way I look at this is; I’m logging food and trying to eat better too. Some days I eat horribly and other days are not so bad. 

Working out helps me feel better mentally and I feel great after dancing. Water intake has been going well and I’m trying to drink less soda, drink some juice, and mostly water.

I’m a picky eater but I am going to try and incorporate veggies into my meals more. 

Would you folks like to see my journey or have me write down about my journey? I can and I promise it won’t be every day, I can write maybe 2 times a week if I remember, lol. One post would be about my journey in being better about health and food and working out and another post can be about whatever I want it to be.

I think that would work and I will think of tags to use in case you follow my health journey and this way you can search tags. I will update that in another post.

Please remember I am not an expert and this is my journey, you may like or be interested in some of the foods I talk about but always talk to your doctors! Talks to them before starting any type of diet or exercise so they know!

Thanks for reading about my life guys, I will post again soon!  

An Update

Hell, everyone! I am still getting used to this new layout that blogger has when I use my computer) normally I use my phone to post most of the time.

Things are good so far this week, I have been up and down lately but I think a lot of it has to do with being home since I got laid off from one job. I am also not out socializing which sucks but I miss it.

So I am trying to find my knitting mojo and knit more and I have a lot of yarn to use uo too. Also, I do dance workouts and trying a demo of Fit Boxing that Nintendo has. The boxing demo is fun and a great workout then add some dancing in and you can have a lot of fun!

Working out has helped me a lot mentally and I feel great after. It's also a great workout and I drink a lot more water when working out which is good.

Still working one job and having to really budget sucks but is necessary. This month is particularly hard but budgeting is going well so far and I just need to stick to a small budget and save. Next month may be difficult, was invited to a bridal shower so need to get a gift.

Not sure what to get the bride and really not sure if I want to go. I will know only 2 people there who are family but I love the venue so maybe I will go. I have a while to decide soo will think it over for now.

Well, I need to go and knit a baby blanket, the baby shower is this weekend and I am not even finished on this blanket yet so it may be late.

Life is Good

Hello everyone! It finally cooled down where I live which is nice.

Today was a annual check up for my thyroid and levels were a little high but going to re-check the levels in 8 weeks and see if medicine needs to be adjusted.

Going to the doctor is not always fun but it’s good too because I can tell them what is going on.

I have been doing Zumba and I did about a half hour of Just Dance 2020 today and it’s a fun way to workout. I like Zumba more but wanted to do a lighter workout today.

I also want to try my best to eat better too. I’m a big snacker so trying to think of things and what my sugar intake as well.  It’s not easy for me because I love carbs and junk food but I am going to try and see how well it goes.

Not much else going on today but I am relaxing and maybe knitting later. Today seems like a day to just relax for some reason.

Anyways I’m just trying to think of healthy snacks and work on drink more water.  So far water intake is going well today and hope to get more water in soon.

I’m going to go and just relax and then do something. Have a great Wednesday!
