Challenge 2015: The Year of Being A More Toned, Filled Out, Yet Still Lean Workout Machine in 2015 - OCTOBER

Post by whenlifewassimpler »

This is Food & Exercise Journal for OCTOBER 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

REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER

September was a bit better month once the 21st came when I could again start Pilates and weight workouts. Till then I had only walking I could do and then when I fell and hurt foot that was out. Luckily it was alright enough to start Pilates and weight workouts again. Continued through Oct 2nd and start date for new monthly workouts for October will be October 5th.

For October 5th through October 9th will continue to do Mari Winsor 20 Minute Pilates workout MWF morning and weight workout (arms) MWF evenings. Starting October 5th for weeks 1 & 2 will continue with Mari Winsor 20 Minute Pilates workout MWF morning and weight workout (arms) MWF evenings. For the month on T-Th evening will do walking/cardio/light jog in place(see how the knees go). For week 3 & 4 on MWF will do Mari Winsor Pilates for Pink Workout (using band), doing abs on Monday, legs on Wednesday and arms on Friday. For MWF evenings will do Firm Offer workout which is a multi-tasking weight moves workout that will tone, abs, legs and arms. For T-Th will continue walking/cardio/light jogging(if knees hold out)


Weigh Ins for the Month:

9/5/17 118.5 Sunday weigh in
9/13/15 119 Sunday weigh in
9/20/15 119.5 Sunday weigh in
9/27/15 119 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. We have found several new recipes for food and dessert to make up and will try them out. Plus continue with the getting in chocolate several times a week. Didn't get to buy any PB this month but will be buying some for October next week. 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.

Trying to continue a variety of foods in our diet. Doing very well getting fish into diet having it on most Friday's; along with some veggies too. I need to get some more salmon fillets this month, but still have some fillets with Alaskan Pollock and also a big package of fish sticks with Alaskan Pollock also; which I mix with some veggies and have in a tortilla. In addition to the other frozen pasta dinners we will be making up for ourselves, and we will make up some pastry dinners we wanted to try. Will be making up our ravioli after we do our big shopping and doctor's appointment this month! Seems like time just goes by too quickly LOL

In addition I am trying to put some weight back on slowly, of course and have upped lunch to two slices of wheat bread. Along with a bit bigger portions for other meals...little at a time as tummy rebels with too much food.
