This is Food & Exercise Journal for JUNE 2015





Feel free to join me in posting your daily food intake and/or exercise. I met weight loss goals March 20th, 2005 and then over the next year lost 10 more pounds and since that time have held steady in a 3 to 4 pound range. I did Pilates, weight workouts and walking to meet initial weight loss and have continued to use them and other workouts over the next 9 years. It's all about moderation, eating sensibly and having variety. We cook our own 'frozen meals' yet still eat what we like and also have ice cream, cake and other yummy treats but again in moderation. This is a life long journey, not a diet that once you reach a goal you go back to what you were doing before and guess what get the same result....gain weight and start the process all over again. It's not easy but it also shouldn't be that hard that you don't want to do it. Most people don't cause they want their pizza, ice cream, cake, brownies....(fill in the blank). We get to have all we want and like but again the key is "in moderation". We have an ice cream scoop and limit ourselves to 1, 2, or 3 scoops. We eat a serving size, not a mega size and get to eat what we like, when we like. Remember no one but you can do this....so our motto for not only staying healthy but many things in our life is "WHO MAKES IT HAPPEN, YOU DO".



So join me in making things happen for you. Sue

May wasn't too bad a month early on missed two mornings on Wednesday due to shopping and got a lot of walking in and 1 Wednesday for cleaning and got plenty of RLW in...and a good thing too as I was so exhausted I missed evening workout too. Did have 1 Monday morning with tummy issues. So all in all not bad...which makes me a happy camper. Still doing great with the veggies in plus more fish and looking to try to get even more fish in too. In addition, still on track with chocolate for the month. Did not do well with the PB this month. Plus I need to buy some new PB. daily fruit was great with lunch, plus in breakfast too. Got Vitamin D for the month as always with fish and daily dosage too.

June is a month of Upper and Lower Body workouts...Start date for June will be June 1st.... Weeks 1 & 2 MWF morning will be Mari Winsor Pilates Bun & Thigh Sculpting; MWF evening for weeks 1 & 2 will be Prevention's Summer arm shape up with Denise Austin; For Weeks 3 & 4 MWF evening will be WHM's Get Sleek, Sexy Arms; T-Th will be walking/jogging in place/dancing for the month; Week 3 MWF morning will be Fitness' The Short Shorts Workout (and no I don't wear those anymore...but I will be thinking of the song...."who wears short shorts, we wear short shorts" while I do it LOL; MWF evening for week 3 will be Prevention Triple Your Toning Arm Workout; Week 4 MWF morning will be 2 workouts I will combining from Prevention -Flab Your Thighs (Exercises to tone your upper legs) and Prevention's Get Lovely Legs; MWF Evenings for week 4 will be WHM Get Sleek Arms

Weigh Ins for the Month:

5/3/15 116 Sunday weigh in
5/10/15 116.5 Sunday weigh in
5/17/15 116 Sunday weigh in
5/24/15 117.5 Sunday weigh in


Food goals: Food goals remain the same...continue to take vitamin D, and keep up the increase in the fruits and veggies in diet, and try some different type of veggies, which we have been doing well with. Also continue to try out some different recipes, which had been going very well but slipped up a bit and have to get back on the stick. Plus continue with the getting in chocolate several times a week. Didn't do well with the PB this month and need to buy some so I can get back on the stick. Doing great on our cutting down on the ice cream. Now just need to get on the stick and make up some fruit based desserts. Our soups mixed with egg noodles are working out great giving up lots of veggies and the sauce is already included; in addition to getting 2 dinners out of a can. Plus tummy likes it too LOL We are going to start to have them over rice, and other types of noodles, like little farfalle and ditalini pasta too.

Coming up to our last 3 pieces of our lasagna left we made up. So next up is some of our manicotti too, so lots of variety. In addition with the warmer weather some cold salads too. Doing very well getting fish into diet having it on most Friday's; along with some veggies too. I still have some left of salmon fillets, and fillets with Alaskan Pollock and will also be adding some crab and lobster for lunches and maybe even dinners for the Summer months.. In addition to the other frozen pasta dinners we will be making up for ourselves, and we are bound and determined over the next 2 months to get the pastry dinners made up we wanted to try. . We are determined to get the pastry sheets next month and plus also want to make up some calzones too with our pizza dough. Plus off our duffs and make up our ravioli too! Seems like time just goes by too quickly LOL

Does that shock you, or is it simply because it seems like an impressive skill you have yet to master :tongue:.
