JANUARY REPORT (Late I know but such is life)

I started off January well however, the Whittle While You Work workout hurt back so back to Mari Windsor's Pilates for January. Got all first week workouts in, even with shopping days etc in there too. Skipped workout on Monday of the second week since I was up all night and no sleep. Did walking on Wednesday at home before we went shopping and more when we did go shopping. Unfortunately had to skip Friday's workout since another night with no sleep on Thursday and didn't get up till very late too. The start of the fourth week I started 6 Resistance Band Moves for a Full Body Burn from WHM done again. The last Monday of the month I did walking for 15 minutes as we had the workers coming to some stuff. Did walking on Wednesday too since back was hurting a bit and some of the resistance band moves hurt it more. Got a lot of walking with while shopping on Thursday and Friday RLW with the vacuum and walking up the office and back.


Weigh Ins for the Month:

1/7/18 Sunday weigh in 114
1/14/18 Sunday weigh in 113
1/21/18 Sunday weigh in 112
1/28/18 Sunday weigh in 113.5


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.
