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 Two, Day 307: Chasing Away The Gloomy Weather...with Music and a Smile! :)

It seems to me that most of the city is depressed, tired and sick. I still have my low grade snuffly nose, along with sneezing, and itching eyes.  Low energy. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Misery loves company, don't you know! Even through the gloom, I had an enjoyable day.  I told myself several times that I really am a lucky woman. My kids are grown, I'm going to be a GRANDMA, and I love my work. My church job is a nice secure little job and it seems I am quite needed there.  I am still learning the ropes. But I am enjoying it. Meeting new people. And best of all, I have only a 1 1/2 minute commute (by foot!). I have a cozy little room in a household full of wonderful laid back people.  People who love animals and music. But best of all, my afternoons are filled with music. I basically get on the bus and travel about town, sitting at pianos, visiting with students, who are like my family. We talk. They play the piano for me. I offer pointe...

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...

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!
