Challenge 2018: A More Tone, Filled Out, Yet Still Lean Workout Machine 2018- JULY 2018

Post by whenlifewassimpler »

This is Food & Exercise Journal for July 2018



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

Did good with June workouts.....only missed one Friday due to a doctor's appointment; plus on June 27 with was a shopping day. Will finish off the month tomorrow, Friday with 10 Minute Solution Slim & Sculpt Pilates with Pilates Band with Suzanne Bowen, lower body Pilates and Flexibility workout.


On tap for the month of July I will do Lara Hudson's 10 Minute Solutions Rapid Results Pilates, on MWF. However, will focus each week on one body part for the week. So for week one which starts on July 2nd I will do Super toned buns and thighs and Slim and Sleek Stretch for a 20 minute workout. For the second week of July 9th I will do Arm and Shoulder Shaper and Slim and Sleek Stretch for a 20 minute workout; For the third week of July 16th I will do the Waist Slimmer and Slim and Sleek Stretch for a 20 minute workout; For the fourth week of July 23rd I will do the Total Body Blast and Slim and Sleek Stretch for a 20 minute workout. For the fifth week I will repeat the Super toned buns and thighs and Slim and Sleek Stretch for a 20 minute workout to finish out the month of July on August 3rd.

Weigh Ins for the Month:

6/3/18 Sunday weigh in 113.5
6/10/118 Sunday weigh in 112
6/17/18 Sunday weigh in 112
6/24/18 Sunday weigh in 111
7/1/18 Sunday weigh in

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.
