Challenge 2017: A More Toned, Filled Out, Yet Still Lean Workout Machine in 2017 - AUGUST 2017

Post by whenlifewassimpler »

This is Food & Exercise Journal for AUGUST 2017





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

July Report

July wasn't too bad with mixed workouts, missed one on the 4th with tummy issues, two morning ones due to shopping however, got a lot of walking done, and did evening one; two morning workouts due to no sleep the night before but got evening workouts in. Did skip an evening walking workout duet o dentist visit as was tuckered out. So six workouts short this month. Hope to do better in August.

Weigh Ins for the Month:

7/2/17 Sunday weigh in 116.5
7/9/17 Sunday weigh in 117
7/16/17 Sunday weigh in 115.5
7/23/17 Sunday weigh in 117
7/30/17 Sunday weigh in 116


Start date for August will be the 7th which I know is a week into the month but with it starting on a Tuesday I just finished the week off with July's workouts.

For the first two weeks on MWF mornings I will do The Upper Body Workout You Can Do Even If You Have Wrist Pain

http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/ ... 9-20170529

MWF evening I will concentrate on I will again concentrate on the lower half of body with the Lazy Girl Workout of Seated leg lifts (25 times each leg), Side single leg lift (25 times each leg), Lower leg lift ( 25 times each leg), Foot warmers (3 minutes), Next is foot warmers...engage your abs and move your feet back and forth, Flutter Kicks (10 times up 10 times down); Tuesday and Thursday I will continue walking/dancing workout.

The last two weeks of August I will do Suzanne Bowen's 10 Minute Solutions Pilates Perfect Body Workout on MWF morning and will use the following workouts: On Monday will do arms and and Pilates Perfect Stretch; on Wednesday Buns & Thighs and Perfect Silhouette with the Pilates Perfect stretch. The last two weeks of August I will do Suzanne Bowen's 10 Minute Solutions Pilates Perfect Body Workout on MWF morning and will use the following workouts: On Monday will do arms and and Pilates Perfect Stretch; on Wednesday Buns & Thighs and Perfect Silhouette with the Pilates Perfect stretch. For the evening workouts on MWF will do Men's Workout leg portion of the workout and T-Th will be walking/dancing workout.

Food goals: Food goals have not changed but 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 we are bound and determined this year to do better with. I will also continue with the getting in chocolate several times a week. PB is no longer an eating option for me. As for desserts we have made a switch and am keeping portion controls as I need to. 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 will continue to have them over other types of noodles, like little farfalle and ditalini pasta too.

We have made up a number of the following ideas for dinners and just adding to our menu. In addition we have a number of ideas for different bases to go over pasta, making casseroles, etc. Plus making calzones, and pastry filled with vegetables and other filling to add to our diet for even more variety. We did a test one and it worked out great.

Trying to continue a variety of foods in our diet. Doing very well getting fish into diet having it on most Friday's and have also been getting it in during the week also. In addition adding diced peppers, potatoes, corn, spinach and other veggies to go with the fish has worked out well too. Still have had to be careful on portions as stomach still rebels on occasion, hence no weight gain in 2017 and slowly increase portion sizes to maybe put some weight on. Some weeks it goes up but then comes right back down again. Wish me luck.
