yummy breakfast

I know I said that I wasn't good at breakfast, but someone on one of the sites I visit mentioned a veggie omelet. This morning, I tried to make one. It turned out to be veggie scrambled eggs. I loved them!! I buy the cascadian farms organic frozen veggies...corn, carrots, green peas. I don't even like corn or green peas, but those cascadian farms organic ones are different!! very tasty! Ok enough of the advertisement. The eggs were yummy, though. Even my hubby wanted some.

Upper body...
More productive today because I had my notes from Monday. I still have tris and bis to finish out this afternoon while 2 of my sweet children are at school. The upper body workout just takes so long! I reach a point where I'm not focused anymore, thinking of all the other things I need to do. Anyway, I had a good workout and will finish it later today!
chest--upped my weight from Monday and my form was better, so it felt better and I will be sore tomorrow! Presses and flyes
shoulders--same story. Presses and flyes
back--need to use more weights next time and try some of the exercises you sent me, R. Thanks for that! I did the one-armed row, got interrupted briefly, off track focusing....not enough weight. Might do it over this afternoon.

tris this afternoon will be extensions and lying extensions
bis will be curls and hammer curls

I'm almost through my first week! I bought a success journal because our printer/copier is "out of service" and it was on sale at amazon. I really like it! I've been marking off those days! My calendar will soon be full of x's.

HEY way to go! I love to put a bit of olive oil in my pan and add onion and bell pepper and cook them until the onions are brown.. then I add my eggs.. yummy!
Good for you on the success journal.. I have one too.. but I started and stopped so many times in it.. I just keep it to read instead of keeping track :) It is inspiring isnt it!

More Than One Way

Knowing that the initial weight loss starts out with loss of water weight, I set a goal for the first week, to lose 5 pounds. I lost 6.6 pounds. Yay! Weight isn't everything, but this week, I have gained a pound, which is discouraging for sure. So- I measured instead, and I've lost an inch in my waist. Plus, I wore my belt a notch smaller this week. There is more than one way to measure success! A goal for this second week has been to eat more of the good, healthy fats. I think that my downfall is a repeated one from the past. I don't eat enough to support my activity. My adrenals kick in and I lose ground. I haven't accomplished my dietary goal, so I will re-focus!

Head in the Game

Image
The challenge of keeping my head in the game is REAL! It seems lately, that with every attempt to re-gain my health, I get injured. I'm unable to go to fitness classes or runs right now, so I got excited about jumprope, thinking my foot (broken about 2 YEARS AGO) could take it. I was wrong. Now, I have almost constant pain in my foot/ankle/leg. I am back to 'only' yoga, which I love, but can I lose the weight and gain the strength with yoga alone? I think I can! So now, as I search for medical answers about my foot, I am excited again about yoga. So, here are my 5 Ways to Keep Your Head In The Game: Nix Negativity. Speak only to yourself and into the universe, what brings peace. (thanks, Ruthie) Review your goals. Keep pictures at the ready that represent your aspirations. Go to sleep with the vision of yourself having achieved your goals firmly in your mind. Cut yourself some slack.  Practice makes practice, not perfection. Get a friend in on the journey w...

Old and New

I'm so grateful that I kept this blog as I lost weight and gained strength the first time. Looking back through old posts, I am reminded to be patient and to persevere. I am reminded of my personal inner strength and of the ability to start over every day, as needed. I had gained 70 pounds in the course of the years of trying desperately to teach my autistic son. I poured myself into him and my other 2 homeschooled children. The story of this blog goes that I awakened to the realization that I had to re-learn how to care for myself, and these chapters describe the successful journey of losing 70 pounds and gaining confidence and strength. It's a wonderful story. I loved it as I lived it, and I managed to keep the weight off for 10 years as my children grew up and graduated my tutorship. Many factors slipped in to define the recent few magical years in which my autistic son became able to communicate and I devoted my all to him and to teaching others like him... and re-gained ...
