Day so far

Day three- I will probably have grilled chicken breast and steamed broccoli and a cheddar string cheese for dinner

So far night are the hardest - I crave something sweet- I got some yogi tea that has a sweet taste to curb my cravings. I had a major sweet tooth and would often eat fat free things like red licorice and fat free pudding that was loaded with sugar.

Oh hey

I'm back-

So it's been a crazy year right? I have gained 20lbs - covid pandemic, I got shingles this past winter and was very depressed and in a bad place. Olivia had to have knee surgery and My husband was out of work and we were all on top of each other and it was not harmonious.

We made it through. I started Keto on the recommendation of my massage therapist with the plan to go to Paleo as Keto is not a good long term plan. I figured I would document my journey here as I find myself on a constant journey to be a healthier version of myself.  I also post a lot of insta my user name is Laur_een3

So far I have lost four lbs and I started 3 days ago. I miss sugar but don't miss bread.  Next up posting some starting pics to keep me honest and my recent grocery haul. I use the free app my manager to keep me on track.

Hey

Long overdue check in:

I got a little doughy over the holidays and am at 140. Back on track with My Fitness pal and I need to start working out. Its a little more difficult to squeeze in workouts with my long commute. I went from a 15 min commute to over an hour commute. I am not longer down the road from the Y. I have no excuse, I moved the elliptical from the unheated garage and its in my bedroom. I am choosing sleep over my workout.

so here we go... trying to get back on track... i'm 50 now and its important to be healthy.

I got my weight to a 135 happy place... this seems to be my set point...and a place I am comfortable.. I am aiming for balance.  always room for improvement.. but I am content.

I have started ball room dancing one day a week which is great exercise.

Hi All


I am still doing my thing... before the holidays I was maintaining 135

I have indulged a bit over Christmas and Thanksgiving and am at 141 now...

I workout at the Y with Liv and am trying my best to make healthy choices

I am back

I feel like I am just coming out of a self induced hibernation.... I moved out and left john seven months ago and just now am I starting to feel like myself again. The last seven months have felt like a blur and like I was going through the motions.  I am healing and its time to make me a priority again.

My jobs walking challenge really did reignite my passion and I am ready to find a happy medium that can last a lifetime. I anticipate more frequent postings here now that I am feeling more myself.

Thanks for hanging around

Back on track
