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

Post by whenlifewassimpler »

This time of year with all I had to do around the house I took off November and December to get it all done....those are RLW's

On tap for the month of the remainder of December will be the same with lots more cleaning etc.

Weigh Ins for the Month:

11/2/18 Friday weigh in 109
11/4/18 Sunday weigh in 108.5
11/11/18 Sunday weigh in 106
11/16/18 Friday weigh in 110
11/18/18 Sunday weigh in 109.5
11/23/18 Friday weigh in 110
11/25/18 Sunday weigh in 108
11/30/18 Friday weigh in 109.5

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.
