Day 6

Allright. Well I've had a couple of unhealthy days.  But this is about staying focused and finding solutions.  For example. What can I do when I just don't feel like cooking breakfast? I'm going to try to meal prep some egg cups now that I'm not running.    But on a bigger scale.  I watched a video series

And I think it's pretty clear that I have a hormone imbalance.  I'm pumping too much cortisol and not getting enough melotonin at night.  So I'm gonna really try to make a concerted effort to change for my energy levels, my skin, my anxiety and of course my weight.  So I did a brainstorm on some things I can (and am currently doing) do:

  • Eggs for breakfast 
    • incorporate a veggie
  • stand up between each morning class
  • Water water water
    • I should prep my water the night before
  • Only one cup of coffee
    • switch to tea if you want something warm
  • Mid-day smoothies
    • add spices
  • always cook lunch 
    • even when gil is not home.
  • stop by ceci's and buy fresh veggies
  • stop by abel's and by proteins
  • get outside more
    • always offer to pick Gilbert up.
    • spend more time on the terrace
      • walk on the grass
    • Go to the park
  • night time routine
    • stretches
    • reading
    • bullet journaling
    • NO TECH TIME
Well that's a start for now.  I did sneak in a workout on a sunday! woot I did this.


Definitely a challenge.  Maybe I should revisit to see if I can improve.  I can do 30 seconds of mountain climbers.  I cannot do the side plank thread really.  I really struggled with that one.  Good thing I'm working on it.  Thats a goal of mine.  

I ate pizza for breakfast.  Ugh.  I need to curb the opportunistic eating.

yikes I lost count of the days...

yikes this week has just flown by and been a bit crazy. But whatevers.... just keep chuggin' along. barely any workouts this week. Let my try to remember why. Tuesday Gilbert took a nap so I did some quiet yoga I have to tred carefully with yoga but htis one did ok and didn't make me hurt.. but was maybe a little bit too beginner. Wednesday Griselda came over at the time I was gonna work out.  Thursday I had the school meeting and then Gilbert didn't go to soccer practice beacuse he was sick. Friday Well, we had some *fun* this morning, and then I had to take Gilbert to the doctors.  So that was this week.  Eating this week has been pretty good.  I had a concha but otherwise pretty much stayed away from sugar.  However, I keep watching these YouTube videos and they just make me anxious they make me feel like whatever i do is wrong.  Like if i'm not intermitten fasting and eating keto and the list goes on then I'm not doing anything ri...

day 28

Yesterday was another good day.  I resisted the urge to eat the waffle.  Its funny just having this 90 day challenge reminds me not to and then I can resist.  but before I would have eaten the leftover waffle.  But I can eat a healthier breakfast, which I did. yay me.  got caught up and ended up not eating till like 4 but that was ok because it meant that I didn't eat before bed, so I'm sort of doing 12 hour fasting.  I've been toying with this fasting idea.  like I feel like i sort of have to do it and if i'll lose weight while doing it than hey great! but frankly, I'm not convinced of the science that you will lose weight and 2. HATE the HANGER.  So, I dunno.  Plus I think I didn't really do it since I had a beer at 7.  I don't think that counts.  Oh well. Did a run yesterday.  Ive mentioned this before, but I've been more open to the idea of late workouts.  They aren't my fav but they are still doable.  Also ge...

day 25

Didn't eat too much.  I mean I had proper meals, just that they were smaller.  I survived the day.  Wasn't starving.  Mondays are like taht.  BUT I did get a workout in! and a good one at that.  I'm a little sore today, in a good way.  I feel stronger every workout.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKxcJzm7Jb4
