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

Post by whenlifewassimpler »

Did alright with August workouts.....missed Friday 8/3 to pay the rent but got a nice walk in. Thursday, Aug. 9th lots of walking with shopping and Friday the 10th had to vacuum with shopping on Thursday the regular vacuum day. Got RLW with the vacuum on Friday, 8/4/ had to go shopping so RLW being shopping. End of the month of August, the 31st had another workout going to the office. So not too bad for August.


On tap for the month of September will be 10 Minute Solutions Slim and Sculpt Pilates with band with Suzanne Bowen. Week 1 September 3rd to 7th will be Upper body Pilates and Pilates for Flexibility; Week 2 - September10th to 14th will be Lower Body Pilates and Pilates for Flexibility; Week 3 - September 17th to 21st will be Pilates for Abs and Pilates for Flexibility; Week 4 - September 24th to 28th will be Total Body Pilates and Pilates for Flexibility.

Weigh Ins for the Month:

8/5/18 Sunday weigh in 110.5
8/10/18 Friday weigh in 111.5
8/12/18 Sunday weigh in 112
8/17/18 Friday weigh in 112
8/19/18 Sunday weigh in 112
8/24/16 Friday weigh in 113
8/26/18 Sunday weigh in 111.5
8/31/18 Friday weigh in 111

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 2018 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.
