Weigh In Day!!

-
Weigh in day, used to stress me out. I know I am my own worst enemy. I have high expectations for myself. I rarely meet those expectations. Which causes frustration, anxiety, even some anger. Let me be real, it also makes me feel like a huge failure. With that being said, I am not going to fail at this lifestyle change. I just need to remind myself that I don't need to be perfect everyday, just try my best.

My weight this morning was 207.8. I take Sunday's off from the gym, but I generally try to do something else, to get my steps in. It is about 3:30 right now and I have 10,008 steps, for the day. I have a few happy places, I like to go. The main one being the Phoenix Zoo. I have a membership there and I am constantly working on my photography skills there. We spent a few hours there this morning. I captured some great photos, got some steps in and just enjoyed being outdoors.


When we got home I was starving. I made a wrap with roasted red pepper hummus, black beans, corn lettuce and tomato. It was delicious. Oh yeah, I forgot to share my breakfast with you all. I made multigrain pancakes with fruit and just a tad bit of syrup. They weren't bad. They will definitely take some getting used to. I haven't made it to the food prep part of my day. It is near. I have been putting it off and spending some quality time with my hubby and pets. This week for lunch will be wraps. Super quick and easy. Tonight we will have stuffed spaghetti squash boats. They are delicious. My pineapple chips came out beautifully. Pictures to follow.

I am going to get started on the cauliflower rice. Then I am going to spend the rest of the night with the family. :) Until tomorrow.

The Journey Begins

-
Here we are, March 2nd. Most people tend to start a new lifestyle on January 1st. It seems, it is the thing to do. Well, I was sick with the flu for almost the entire month of January, so literally nothing happened. February was so busy at work, that again nothing happened.  That leads me to today. Before, I start talking about today, let me give you some background,on myself and the lifestyle I am hoping to ditch. I have an office job, which requires me to sit at a desk in front of a computer for 8 hours a day.What do I do all day? I sit and eat and make phone calls. I am 47 years old and considered obese. Last year was a pretty rough year. I think I went through two jobs and finally landed where I work today. It was a year of poor choices all the way around. But, those choices helped me to grow stronger and learn. I had a scare last January. I was having severe chest pain. I went to the E.R. immediately. They did an EKG and everything was normal. They had me sitting in a curt...

It looks like a few years ago, I planted a seed, that I needed change in my llife. Here we are, February 23rd, 2020. Finally after many unsuccessful attempts, I am here. What has changed, you ask? I have! Iam almost 50, and I see how I have abused myseelf, it is time for a change. To help me with this change, I started school. Yes, as previously stated in this blog, I was going to a wonderful, Dr. just like everything else in my life, the tough got going and I quit. I am embarassed, and really hard on myself, regarding my actions and my decisions. I am not quite ready to face Dr. T, yet. But, I will make it back before the middle of the year. (that is a big goal) I really just need to prove some things to myself, first.  Let me tell you about school! I am going to be a life coach. At first, when I discussed this with my family members and friends, they said it would be the perfect job for me. I like to help anyone who needs it. My own thoughts were quite different. How could I help...

Lazy Sunday's

Lazy Sunday's are the best. The girls (my dogs) and I didn't get out of bed until, after 9am today. It was a cloudy. rainy. dreary morning. It was fabulous! When Don finally coaxed us out of bed, I went to weigh myself and I was down 2.5 lbs from last week. I started transitioning to a whole food plant based diet last week. To start my transition, I started with only my breakfast. I usually have eggs, for breakfast. Last week it was multigrain pancakes with fruit and pure maple syrup. Ya, know they weren't half bad. The thing I like is that you eat until you are full. For the most part I didn't need a snack before lunch.  This week I prepped more pancakes for the mornings I am busy. I am also going to try some smoothies as well. I will let you know how that goes. Also, on top of the breakfasts. This week starts lunches with no meat.  I am a sandwich lover. This may be a bit harder than breakfast. After dinner tonight, I will be prepping black bean and brown rice burri...
