New Year, New me.

 

I have not blogged in a little over 5 months. I don’t have a good excuse or a good reason why, but I am ready to restart.  I have missed recapping my weeks, and I miss the helpful tips and/or comments from my friends. For the New Year I plan to post one meal I did, with pictures.

 

If I find a product or workout routine I love I will share it. I am going back to the honest, hold no punches, true-to-self beginnings. This is where I want to put into words my getting healthy week, if I lose on the scale or not. I want to celebrate my non-scale successes, they are so much more important then people think.

 

Lets start this BLOG:

I am going to recap my last 4 weeks; I think that’s a good starting point to jump back in from.

 

January 26- lost 1.8 pounds

February 02- gained .4 pound

February 09- gained .8 pound

February 16- lost 2.0 pounds

 

The weeks of February 2 and February 9, I worked-out hard pushed myself, I thought I was going to have great losses. But, I ended up gaining. Gaining!!! I thought I was on point with eating and working out. I admit it was a rude awakening for me when I was told I gained. I was mad, upset, hurt and devastated. I was ready to quit, toss in the towel. But, I am too stubborn and I have the BEST support team. So, with the help of my WW friends and my WW leader we concluded that I was not EATING ENOUGH, crazy I know. So, this week I ate less fruit and added more protein.  It worked!!! It is tough working out and fine tuning what your body needs.

 

The weather has been super cold here in Ontario Canada (4F-24F has been too cold to walk in), so my WW buddy and BFF have been walking at the indoor track. We KICKED BUM this week and pushed ourselves harder then we have before.  Our goal this last week was to push ourselves. We Walked/Jogged 4K each day this last week. Next week my goal is to do 5K a day and over half of that distance jogging.  I will keep you posted.

 

I wanted to share a product that I fell in LOVE with. Danone ~ Silhouette Greek yogurt, its 50 calories for 100 grams, has 8 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fibre,  for only 1point. I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the refreshing apple flavor, it is crisp, light and yummy. I plan on trying them all. I eat one after my workout.

 

For Valentine’s Day I made a fruit snack that the kids and I loved.  I just watched what I ate and made sure I ate only a couple of chocolate dipped ones. Super yummy and super fun!!!

 

IT WAS AMAZING!!!

 

 

6 POINT Spaghetti squash DINNER:

For each half of the squash I added:

1 wedge of Laughing Cow jalapeno -1 point

1.5 pieces of low sodium bacon –2 points

¼ cup cooked sweet potato (I had one hand) – 1 point

½ cup homemade sauce of tomatoes – 1 point

For a total of 5 points

 

I then added steamed green beans, broccoli and carrots- 0 points

Mixed greens salad with tomatoes, cucumber, celery and 1 TBS dressing for – 1 point

For a dinner total of 6 WW Points and full of delish flavor. Husband even loved it.

 

Have a great week and I look forward to reconnecting with friends.

 

Let’s ROCK IT this week!!!!
