Late Weigh-In Day Update

Sorry, this post is late, I need to start putting reminders in my calendar to write the post and post it.

Good news! Yesterday I weighed myself and I am down 1.9lbs!!! I didn’t think I was going to lose any weight because I ate Oreos on Tuesday night and had milk too. 

Working out has been going well and did a long workout yesterday but I felt great after.

Also, my waist/hip measurements are down 3/4” which is awesome! My body fat went up by 0.1% which is ok with me. Body fat fluctuates with me and that is tough to get down.

Overall, I am happy with my progress so far and I skipped several weeks of my factor_ meal delivery due to finances and just want to get ahead on bills. After I save some money, maybe I can start the factor_ meals again (they are very tasty)

Let’s hope I can add pics to this post on my computer.

I went for a walk today too and it's Friday and not yesterday, lol.

Now I can't make my lines straight, oh well.  Today the sun was out and the weather was not bad at all. It was a little chilly but overall it was beautiful outside today.

So, you can see in 56 minutes I almost did 3 miles which is pretty good considering it's February.

This weekend or on Monday, we are getting very cold weather and I am not sure when I will get outside again but I will take what I can get for the weather.

Now I am going to go and I may post some links over the weekend, I get recipes emailed to me and you can try them or alter them however you would like and give them a try. 

Thanks for reading and have a great Friday!

It’s Monday!

Good morning and happy Monday!!! Sadly, it’s dreary out today but we are getting snow later (not looking forward to it). 

Things are good, can’t post pics and I have been making sure the apps are up to date. Now to find another way to post pics in my posts 😊

Not much is new, most bills are caught up for the month and need to work on next month. Oh, I forgot! I am working on saving money and my goal is next December 2022, I want to save about $5,000 and hope to reach that goal.

So far, saving the money has started and I am keeping track, maybe I should use my other app so I won’t use the money and no fees will be taken out 🧐

I think I will do that, I was saving $52 a week and only started last week but I will take out $60 and just do that and use my other app. This way I don’t touch the money I am trying to save and still pay bills.

By paying my bills early and hopefully some extra, it would be good. I want to pay down credit cards and pay a little extra on my car loan.

It’s the year to make things better for myself and my future.

Today is Weigh-In Day!

Today is awesome so far and it’s weigh-in day! 

Last week I weighed 196.5lbs and I had gained weight back. I was not discouraged in anyway because I don’t eat properly a d made some bad food choices. It happens and I was happy mentally with life so everything was good.

This week I weigh 193.6lbs! I’m down 2.9lbs which is great and I worked hard at making better choices too. If you put the work in, you will see results even if it takes a long time.

I’m happy mentally and physically with myself and that is saying a lot. I used to be unhappy with a lot of things in life from weight to my body and friends.

Now, since starting my health journey, I am happy with a lot more in my life and I love working out. 

Hips are the same in measurements (44 1/2 inches) but waist is down in inches. My waist is 44 1/2 inches and last week it was 45 inches.

My progress is small but for me that is what works and as long as I am happy, I like the small improvements.

I need to post this and go workout soon. Have a beautiful Wednesday! 

Weigh-In Day and Maybe Splurge this Weekend?

Hey everyone, how are you? I’m ok, not 100% today but I’m doing ok.

Today is weigh-in day and I gained 3 pounds back this week, I’m okay with it too. Normally I would not be okay with gaining but it could be from what I ate to maybe putting on muscle, not sure which.

My measurements were down very little too so I think it’s because of what I ate. I haven’t logged my food at all so that could also be a factor.

Today and this week is brand new and I’m going to try and log all my food that I eat. Working out is going well, I shoveled snow today and got rid of snow banks so that was fun (not really). Still it’s a workout.

Still doing my RingFit Adventure which I love and sometimes I do that for about an hour. It’s great, everything else is good too.

So I need to log food I have eaten so far today, I didn’t log two snacks so need to do that.

Tomorrow is a new day, need to pay a bill and go to the grocery store. Already made a list and as long as I stick to it, I will be good. I need snacks too, hopefully something healthy.

It’s not easy to give up snacking but will see what I can find.

Thanks for reading and have a great night. ❤️

Frustrated

I’m so frustrated right now, I hate being like this too and it’s over stupid stuff. I’m also stressed out over bills, I’m not behind or anything but still stressed.

The phone and wifi are already paid which is good, next is car insurance, car loan and then credit cards. I only have 3 cards and one is for dental work and I need to work on paying them down.

I work one job which is nice but honestly, any extra money would be good right now.

Everything will work out, I just need to relax and plan out the bills. Once all the bills are planned, everything will be ok. No shopping for awhile. I may have to skip a month of Factor meals.

I love the Factor meals I have been getting but sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to pay down bills. I’m ok with giving up Factor meals, takeout, and yarn so I can pay down my credit cards.

Okay, rant over. Thanks for reading and have a great night.

Feeling Better

Lately, my life has been a roller coaster and I had been stressed out mentally. Good news out of this is I’m doing better.

Today I did my workout and it feels great! The last 48 hours I didn’t workout at all and I was really down on myself. 

Also, I would like to work on losing another pound or two by next Wednesday. Will see how I do.

The last few dentist visits have been good, expensive but good. I’m tired but better and I wanted to update on what was going on.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great Friday ❤️

It's Weigh-In Day!

 I am stressed out, nearly had a mental breakdown this morning, and trying to relax at this very moment. In other good news, it's weigh-in day!

Today's results are:

Weight; 193.1 down 2lbs from last week :)

Body Fat: 45.3 down 0.2% from last week

Hips: 44 1/2 inches (this stayed the same from last week)

Waist: 45 inches down 3/16(?) from last week (45 3/16inches)

Since starting my health journey and trying to be more active and eat better, I have lost a total of 5.6lbs!!!! 

The hard work is paying off! 

Today is a setback but I needed to just rest today and hopefully, soon I can get back into my workouts. My grandfather is in the hospital and I think with being home to help my niece, I am very stressed out which is not normal for me. 

I did get to take a nap today and I feel better but I am sure I will be stressed again tomorrow so not sure if I will get a workout in or not. 

Things are good otherwise and I did receive week 2 of Factor_ meals today. May eat one tomorrow or start eating them on Friday. Not sure what I got, I can pick for next week too.

That is all my news, for now, thanks for reading about my health journey, and have a great Wednesday!
