Challenge 2019: A More Toned, Filled Out, Yet Still Lean Mean Workout Machine November

The month of November I will start with holiday cleaning which is a workout in and of itself. Formal workouts will start in 2020 again after I go to all doctors and find out what I can do now in terms of workouts.

As in October we will do some more cooking again of new meals It's working out well and getting more of a variety in our meals.

While not off to the best of years....I have also been having lots of stomach issues, tiredness with no sleep nights, etc. Hoping when I go with list to primary with some tests I can get some answers. Keeping fingers crossed. So I am not off to a good start for this year but hope that subsequent months go better.

Well the new primary got sleeping and took care of the stomach issues, etc and other stuff he found too. I am on a number of supplements and new medicines; one of most important ones being IRON....so I am not freezing all the time, and just feeling much better. It bothers me on some days but such is life it's working. The iron is bothering me less and less as time goes on now, so that is a good thing.

Food goals: Food goals have not changed but remain the same...continue to take Women's Vitamin new primary recommended which also contain the Vitamin D and E I was taking, along now with the supplements new primary has prescirbed; 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.

With the cooler weather having some different meals along trying to get in veggies with some of them 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, and other veggies to go with the fish has worked out well too.

Another good thing with the supplements new primary recommended stomach isn't hurting and I am back to eating like I was and have gained weight also. So I am happy about that so continue to wish me luck with the rest.
