Happy Tuesday!

I feel great today so I'm going to write in here. Good morning 🌞 and Happy Tuesday! Tomorrow is weigh-in day and am excited to see where I am at with my weight.

Everything is good right now and paying off some bills fees fantastic! My goal is to pay off my credit cards and not use them as much. 

Yesterday, I went for a long walk. I walked over 4 miles (training for a 13k) and I did great. I walked the miles in 1 hour and 16 minutes which is good for me.

I may stick to the route I had mapped out and work on 4 miles for the rest of the month and work my way up to 8 miles. I will probably add a mile on in April and keep adding til I can walk the 8 miles (13k).

So now I just need new workout clothes and figure out what t carry on the of the race. I will need to replenish what I burn fr calories.

Other than that, I'm going read today and do laundry and knit. 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Also Weigh-In Day

Today is St. Patrick’s Day and I am home and celebrating with Corned Beef, Cabbage, veggies, and good family.

Today is also weigh-in day too and I have exciting news!!!

Last week I made a goal to get below 190lbs. I didn't think I could do it and some days I did not eat well. I was a little worried.

Last weeks weight was 191lbs, this week, my right is....... 188.6lbs!!! I made it below 190! I'm excited 😁

Also, my body fat is down only 0.1%, hips are down a little bit (I'm in the 43” area now) was 44. My waist stayed the same which is ok.

I feel great and I'm happy with my right loss journey. It's not easy but it's worth it.

Life has been great, I got outside for a 5k and did that in 56mins. Training has started for 13k in May. 

I have been knitting as working out, I have been over bad at logging food so working on that this week.

Thanks for reading, have a great St. Patrick's Day (if you celebrate), and have a beautiful week.

A Day Late, A Recipe and Great News!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry I did not post yesterday, there is no excuse! 

I will post a pic of my measurements and I did lose weight this past week too which is good. 

As you can see, I lost 1.5lbs this past week! I did not think I would lose that much and I usually aim to lose a pound r two every week, if I don't lose the weight it's ok.  Hips are down 1/4", waist is down 3/4", everything else is normal. 

My body fat went up this time and that fluctuates a lot.  I use an app that tracks chest, bust, upper arm, below the elbow, waist/hips, thigh, and calf measurements. 

Overall I am doing great, I have lost 1 14/16" overall, down 1.5 pounds, body fat is up by 0.2% and, BMI is down by 0.2. So it has been a good week, now to make a goal for next week.

Can I get to 189lbs? Check back next week and see if I can do it. 

I finally got to plot out a route for my virtual 13k in May so I will be walking a lot more depending on the weather. Hopefully, it's not too cold out so I can start soon.

I do have a recipe for you folks, it's not healthy but if you are looking for something to have while binge-watching Netflix, Hulu, or whatever you decide to watch, this is a great idea to have and to make.

Pull-Apart Crescent Meatball Sliders! It looks so good! I want to try this someday.

That's the link (above), try it out or try chicken or pot with it or just mix it up. It's great if you have a big family too and have a meatball slider party.

Things have been good lately and I'm still happy with my health journey. It's been slow-moving on the weight but I am happy with my progress overall.

I am going to just relax today, clean, and do laundry, everyone has a beautiful Thursday. 

It’s Sunday!

Hello and happy Sunday! 

I really debated about doing my workout today and glad I did it. I really wanted to be lazy but I feel great after my workout and my legs can feel it too, lol.

Doing the RingFit adventure and there were a lot of squats in today’s workout but it boasted my mental health and I’m happy with everything.

There is some news, I stopped taking the fat burner that I was taking and we get to see on Wednesday how that affects my weight and see if I can lose weight without it.

I have a lot of body fat on me and would love to get that down but it’s tough and maybe the fat burner helps some.

I did order a pre-workout drink mix and it makes me tingle when I take it. Not sure if this is normal or just a reaction. However, I do plan to use it up since I bought it and will not order it again.

Yes, I emailed the company asking about it and have not heard back for about 2 weeks. They may be busy or just don’t plan to answer so I need to do what I think is best.

I’m waiting for my lunch to cook which is in the oven at the moment. Making chicken, kale chips, and having some French fries, yes I know fries are not healthy but I did a portion size and I love kale chips!!

That is my news, for now, thank you for reading, and have a wonderful Sunday! 

It’s Wednesday! And Weigh-In Day

Hello and good morning everyone!!!  I hope everyone is doing well today and hope your week is going good so far.

Today is weigh-in day and I’m not discouraged with the numbers.

My weight today is 192.5lbs which means I gained +0.7lbs. I’m okay with gaining and I did not eat very well for a few days. Some days you want all the bad foods and that happened to me these last few days.

There is some good news too, my waist has been at 44 1/2” and today it’s down to 42 3/4”!!! I didn’t think I would see my waist go down that much but it’s awesome.

My body fat and hips stayed the same this week and I’m happy about it.

Also, my mental health has hit a few snags but overall, I am doing good. I still workout and I did rest this last weekend. 

I would like to reach 180lbs by the end of July 2021, not sure I can get there but I will try! 

So, I am happy with everything today, yes even the weight gain. With any journey, you may face setbacks or obstacles or anything that may stop you for a bit. It’s ok, tomorrow is a new day and you can start fresh.

Thanks for reading and joining me on my health and wellness journey.
