Day 93: Comparing Stats and a Fresh Start!

Today is weight and measurements day!  So, in honor of me staying with my program for 3 months, I thought I would compare today's stats with my beginning stats. 

Today's Stats: 08/10/2015 (Day 93)
Weight: 197 lbs.
Neck: 14.5"
Chest: 43"
Waist: 38.5"
Hips: 45.5"
Biceps: R 13.5"/L 13.5"
Thighs: R 23"/L 23"
Calves: R 16"/L 16"
Ankles: R 9"/L 9"

Beginning Stats: 05/26/2015 (Day 15)
 Weight: 203
Neck: 15"
Chest: 47"
Upper Abs: 41"
Waist: 41"
Lower Abs: 49"
Hips: 48:
Thighs: 23" R, 22.5" L
Biceps: 14" R, 13.5" L'


So, I took my first measurements on Day 15. So the results after 78 days are:  

DRUM ROLL!!
 

Weight: Loss of 6 pounds.  
Neck: 1/2 inch loss
Chest: 4 inch loss
Waist: 2.5 inch loss
Hips: 2.5 inch loss
Thighs: No change
Biceps: 1/2 inch loss right arm.


Alrighty then! Results! I'm digging this!!

And I have not been working out very strenuously for the last few weeks.  All kinds of excuses: Hot, tired, busier teaching, and tummy hurts.

But still I am making improvements! 

Today is the first day of my meal plan program.  I must add, that I seriously think I have a sensitivity to gluten. I think that is what the pain is all about. I mean, I"m hardly exercising, should I really feel like this?

This morning was better. This after a day where I ate all my meals at home.  I did have one piece of whole wheat pita bread.  

Today I started with a whole grain cereal and coconut milk.  I know, WHEAT was an ingredient in the cereal. I am a work in progress.  For a light lunch, I had one of my PREMAID omelette cups.  It had eggs, onion, mushrooms and cheese mixed in, baked in a muffin tin. I put a little Tapatio hot sauce on top.  Then I added a fresh spinach salad with goat cheese crumbles and a spoonful of sauerkraut.  I seem to crave things like sauerkraut, pickles and kim-chi, especially when my intestines are unhappy. They have been. Today is better.

I'll have a few spoonfuls of Greek yogurt (also probiotic) before I head out.

Today is a light day of teaching. I only had time for some yoga and pilates this morning. I had a wonderful bible study with a new friend who happens to be a neighbor. Great way to start the day. Already today is starting out on the right foot!

I am now going to grab my premade lunch container:  Salmon chunks, sweet potatoes, zucchini and asparagus, sliced carrots and radish, celery stuffed with peanut butter, a bag of red grapes and a small container of yogurt.  Can't forget to pack my water bottle!  

This is super cool. I feel pampered. As if someone has made my lunch for me!  We shall see how my mornings go this week.

Happy Monday! :)

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
