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

Post by whenlifewassimpler »

Did very good with October/November workouts....missed one workout missed hubby let me sleep too late since was up all night again; and one other for a Doctor's appt

On tap for the month of the remainder of November will be 10 Minute Solutions Slim and Sculpt Pilates with band with Suzanne Bowen. However, this month will concentrate on a particular body part and and continue to do the same come January. December is a month I don't do regular workouts but RLW's. Workout for the remainder of November will be Lower body Pilates and Pilates for Flexibility.

Weigh Ins for the Month:

10/5/18 Friday weigh in 111.5
10/7/18 Sunday weigh in 111.5
10/14/18 Sunday weigh in 108
10/21/18 Sunday weigh in 110
10/28/18 Sunday weigh in 109

11/2/18 Friday weigh in 109
11/4/18 Sunday weigh in 108.5

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 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.
