Overall, that is a loss of 2.25 inches in just a week. Here is proof that the scale doesn’t have to go down in order for my efforts to be noticed. I do feel that eating after 6 pm and overeating out of frustration has been a culprit to not losing any weight this week. I expect that to happen from time to time. As long as I see changes I am happy. It doesn’t hurt that I kept inches in the curvy spots either. Those are usually the first to go. However, I know they will gradually decrease too. As matter of fact I enjoy having smaller breasts.
Fitness Workout Goal: 9 hours Total: 12 Met goal and exceeded by 3 hours (Woo hoo!)
Diet Goals 48 oz water 64 oz green lemonade (58 oz water, 8 oz lemon juice, 4 packets stevia, 1-2 T Vitamineral Green) 12-24 oz green smoothie 1 bunch of massaged greens 500 mcg kelp (thyroid support)
I didn’t keep as immaculate records as I would have liked this week, so I can’t give you the specifics. I will say that I did at least 75% this week. I will do better this upcoming week. I will tell you that I ate very late some nights, even to the point that I was stuffed. I also had dessert 2 times this week. I really didn’t apply my discipline in my diet as much as I would like to have, but I have to remember this is a process. I don’t want to overdo it and frustrate myself and give up. I have done that in the past too. I want to accept my imperfections and know that I am still doing good. No beating myself up for poor choices..just going to acknowledge them and move forward. Guilt is worse than the action itself.
Other Health Practices Sauna- I missed it all week and I see a difference in my skin when I don’t do it. Colonic- I did one this week.
Inspired by Natalia Rose: I would like to not eat a solid breakfast until I have eliminated my meals from the previous day.
Gratitude Shout Out Thank you Dhrumil and Rawvolta for mentioning me in your blogs and on your websites. You guys rock. Also, thanks to all the readers out there that I don’t know who are reading my blog. I appreciate you too.
Overall, that is a loss of 1.75 inches in just over a week. This is fantastic and I need to remember that my efforts are not going unnoticed even if I make a poor diet choice here and there. My good efforts far outweigh the negative ones.
Workout
Goal: 6 hours Total: 11 1/2 Met goal and exceeded by 5 1/2 hours (Woo hoo!)
Water Goal: 21 quarts Total: 25 quarts Met goal and exceeded by 4 quarts (Woo hoo!)
Greens
Goal: 14 servings Total: 9 1/2 servings Did not meet goal, short by 5 1/2 servings. This is probably why I ate things I shouldn’t. It is hard to eat junk when you are full on greens. Plus they squelch my cravings since they are feeding my body the nutrients I need. Therefore I am not “starving” for nourishment. I didn’t take any kelp for my thyroid either. I will make a stronger effort this upcoming week.
Sauna Goal: 1 hour 20 min Total: 2 1/2 hours Met goal, exceeded by 1 hour 10 min. This is actually just an extra goal, it wasn’t top priority, but I am glad I did it. My skin looks better & smells cleaner as a result.
Fasting Blood Sugar
89 (perfectly normal)
Blood Pressure 81/51 LOW! I have always had low blood pressure, but I have been noticing a decrease over the years. However, this almost seems too low. I measured my blood pressure about an hour after doing vigorous exercise and 25 minutes in the sauna. I am not too sure if that contributed to the low number. According to Wikipedia my reading classifies as “hypotension“. When I read some of the symptoms I have to admit that I am cold. However, that may be due to my low body temperature from dealing with hypothyroidism. Aside from that I do not experience any other symptoms. Perhaps this was an inaccurate reading. I took it at a local drug store that carried a machine that self operates. Who knows. The best way to find out is to keep taking readings
and see what happens.
Pulse 64
PH slightly acidic
Week 2 Goal
My goal is to incorporate more yoga, begin a purification program, & go high greens.
Here are some photos with me and my 3 sister-in-laws on New Years Eve. Jessica, Me, Darlene, Christine Easy boys, they are all married to my brothers!
Being Silly
I don’t know why, but this is something I always do when they say to act goofy for the camera. I go grabbing!
This year I spent New Years w/ my family. The kids had a blast. Meg w/ her friend striking a pose! I don’t think they were really paying attention to the camera, do you?
If you are running through life feeling overwhelmed and not really making the impact you know you want, or wishing you felt alive and filled with passion then you are going to LOVE me!
