It’s Weigh-In Day! Plus Factor Meals

Today is weigh-in day and I’m excited to see how my body responded to all the exercise and how I ate. I did log all food this week so far. 

Here is how I did this week;

Weight: 195.1lbs down 2.6lbs, last week I weighed 197.7

Hips: 44 1/2 inches, last week it was 44 14/16 inches so only down a little bit but it’s progress.

Waist: 45 3/16 inches, last week it was 45 1/2 inches, again down a little bit but atill progress.

Body fat is the same as last week, 45.5. 

So far I have been doing great, I feel great too and my health journey is going good so far this week.

I bought 4 meals from Factor_, which is an online meal delivery. You can customize it to a certain diet if you want. Also this works great if you are on a time crunch too and can’t cook.

My meals were deliver yesterday and I will have one for lunch today 😊

I have lemon pancakes and I may save that for Friday morning. They sound yummy so I look forward to that.

Late Weigh-In Day and News

Hello everyone! I am late with my weigh-in day but I will work on being better about posting about my health journey.

Weigh-in day is every Wednesday and even if I don't see big numbers, I am ok with that. Working out and trying to eat better has helped me be happier and I am working on being more positive. My weight may not change and maybe I hit a plateau but it's ok.

I was inspired by the Situation (MTV's Jersey Shore) to "live your best life" and I am trying my best to do that. Negative things have been cut out of my life and I am working on positivity, working out, and trying to eat better.

Some days are great, some days will not be so great. I had one day this week where I was really down on myself and even though I did a 30-minute workout, I still felt like crap. The next day I felt better which is a good thing, I still workout, and I feel great.

Down below you see a screenshot of my weigh-in day and I post on Twitter about it every Wednesday, not much of a change but to me, it's a small victory. As long as you are happy even when the numbers don't change, you have won with happiness!

In other news, I signed up for a virtual 13K race in May! I will start training on February 1st. A 13k is just over 8 miles in case anyone was curious. I walked 3.56 miles a week or two ago and I did that in 1hr and 14 mins.

Judging by that, I may be able to do the 13k in 3-4 hours but need to work up my stamina. I'm sure I will face weather challenges but any progress is great progress. 

That is my news, for now, I will be better about posting my weigh-in day and update you, folks, on my training for a 13k :)

Thank you for reading and have a great day!!

Weigh In Day

Good morning everyone! Today is weigh-in day and that is when I step on the scale to see my weight and I measure my body. I do this once a week so I don’t get discouraged.

Today’s weight is..... 198.7lbs, it’s up by +0.1lb (last week weight was 198.5)

Body fat is... 45.6 and that is down by -0.2% (last week was 45.8)

Waist and hip are the same measurements which are not bad.

No big changes this week and I’m happy with the results I have, it’s the small victories and I have been working out. I’m happy with the progress I have made so far and now I can get ready for the 5k this weekend and hopefully find another virtual 5k to do next month!

Once a week I will post about my weigh-in and let you know my progress. 

Working Out, 5K this Weekend

 Hello everyone and how are you? I hope you are well and doing great!

I am trying to lose weight this year and hopefully lose 15lbs. This will be tough but I am going to try. I have been working out with Ring Fit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch which is going very well. I love the Ring Fit Adventure! 

Today was leg day on the Ring Fit and my legs are feeling it. I also have Just Dance 2020 and Zumba so maybe I will switch it up this week. I do have a virtual 5k this weekend and will do that early Saturday morning. Not sure how early I will get up but I will. I weigh in tomorrow and will post about my weight and waist/hip measurements and do that weekly. I will use #weightlossjourney on the post incase you want to keep up.

I feel great after the workouts and not as sad as I have been. Staying home and working from home is nice but I need to get out more and socialize, I miss that part about going to work. 

Sorry had to update Twitter about a new schedule for streaming my knitting and that I did a workout, lol. I also need to work on my knitting too which I will do after I post this entry.

Not much else is new, made a dental appointment, paid some bills and I feel good about paying bills. Maybe I can get ahead for next month soon? Will see how that goes.

Need to knit and find something to watch, my review page is where I post about food and movies/shows I watch. Yes, sometimes I am late on watching shows that everyone else has already seen, it's ok. I like to blog and I will stick with it.

Thanks for reading and have a great day! :)

Donating Blood

I donated blood yesterday and even though it took a while, I’m happy to donate.

The Red Cross has to be safe along with people donating and it feels good that I can help someone in need.

Here I am donating blood and took a selfie, I had a face covering because it is required that you do.

Everything was good when donating yesterday and I am happy with the Red Cross people. They were nice and I met a local which was great!

Now I am resting and working on drinking more water since donating. 

Life is good and just trying to live my best life daily.

Have a great day everyone!

A New Year!

 I am taking a break from playing Assassin's Creed and I want to move around. 

Happy New Year!

It's another year and I am going to live my best life! Well, at least I will try. 

This week has been good so far, I have been working out, eating more green vegetables and I fried up some kale today and put light salt on it and that was so good! I will have to make more soon.

I am donating blood on Monday so I am trying to eat better, work out more, and just have fun. I did my Ring Fit Adventure today and I am tired but feel great!

Not much else is new with me, Christmas was okay and I have not done much else. 

Family is good, went food shopping for green vegetables today, and came home, made lunch, and took a nap. The workout made me tired and I didn't do a long workout but it feels good.

Will try to post next week.
