I'd live in Antarctica

Well that was the first day taht I skipped oops! So day 18 I made muffins with Gilbert.  Now, cooking with Gilbert, of course, he wants unhealthier things and we can move towards more healthier options.  However,  I did not need to eat 3 of them myself! But I didn't want to cook because I had already made a mess cooking Gilberts muffins. Need to have a plan for Gilbert's food.  However, even tho I ate like crap, the next day was my lowest weigh in so far.  Part of that is that just didn't eat very much food at all. day 19 was sunday and we went to Walmart and lunch in Tepa.  Its my official treat day.  Not gonna feel guilty about the hamburger or beer I ate.  In fact, I am proud that I ordered a salad with my burger.  I have been thinking more about my morning routine.  Part of this 90 journey was to focus on my productivity and energy.  I think many of my poor food decisions happen because I don't plan properly.  Ok, f...

I did some yoga in the morning. figured it was good since I was on my period.  but then afterwards my lower back hurt.  I have to remember I CANNOT do rib circles no matter how good they feel and if I dont htink i feel my lower back at all.  Anyways, in the afternoon, I totally couldn't think of what to make for dinner.  but I made a salad with roasted bell pepps tomoatoes, beans and chimichurri sauce.  I am really glad I made a healthier dinner rather than just having tacos or whatever.  Was work but it was good.  I was a little hungry befor I went to bed, but when I got up in the morning I was not so hungry.  Still hungry when i'm done working . I have to try bullet proof coffee in the early morning.  I had the blender upstairs but I didnt do it because I just felt tired and I just wanted my coffee. Ive been reading about improving my morming routine and thats something I wnat to incorporate in it.  Things I want to include in my mor...

uhhh i forgot hwat I ate.....ok, I think i just ate a bowl of beans for breakfast... then I had a string cheese as a snack, I made sweet potatoes for lunch.  I also had a hard boiled egg.  Had a glass of wine.  Ok scratch that,I had cereal for breakfast yesterday.   Anyways-- I did a bit of an arm workout yesterday.  been really enjoying the workout routine.  I did want to talk about my weight.  I got my period this so I probably was pretty bloated.  That's why I was up in fat.  So that makes total sense.

I totally forgot to do the weekly check in.  whoops. here's the comparison 1/7 1/16 weight 136.6 135.6 bmi 25.8 25.6 body fat 29.4 29.7 fat free body weight 96.4 95.4 subcantenous fat 26.5 26.8 visceral fat 8 8 body water 48.5 48.3 skeletal muscle 41.2 41 muscle mass 90.6 89.6 bone mass 5.8 5.8 proten 16.4 16.3 bmr 1314 1304 metabolic age 40 40 honestly, not sure what to make of it.  I lost a pound but my fat went up and my muscle mass went down.  this is strange because I feel like i've been walking more, working out harder.  I still very much feel like i'm in the exploration stage of this. still figuring out how to even implement the basic rules to be more healthy.  but its nice to have some data. I had a great workout this morning.  Need to address my lmorning breakfast.  With gilbert I dont have time to make breakfast.  I have to make breakfast for gilbert and that just messes with everything. ugh. Also would lik...

ugh this blog posts are getting short.  I remember the first go round I had lots to say and this time, I find myself avoiding the blogging.  Anyways, yesterday I felt a little light headed in the morning so I didn't work out.  I just felt shaky and weak.  I don't know why but Ive been getting that.  I got that when we went ot chiapas and when we came back.  I think i need more iron.  Honestly feel like im gonna get my period but its early and i dont have it but Ive got all the symptoms.  I dont know what my body is doing.  Anyways, I had birote and beans for breakfast then mushrooms and pasta for lunch.  I feel like i'm eating a lot of refined flour.  Need to mix it up.  Finally Gilbert gave me some of his pop tart which I didn't want but it was so sweet of him to give it to me.  I need to figure out how to say no without making a big deal aobut my diet decisions.  I mean it was half a pop tart and I had had no sugar ...

God I already forgot what i did yesterday.  I ate two pieces of toast with one egg and that was not enough I ended up snacking on a quesadilla.   Then for lunch I made smoothie then for dinner we made salad with shrimp and croutons.   I also did a good workout in the morning.  I think I'm eating a lot of refined flour.  ok i guess that's all for today.

Well yesterday was a treat day. I didn't sleep well the night before so I woke up HANGRY.  I ate a birote with cream cheese. Maybe not the most nutritious breakfast but it did fill my belly.  We went to the movies and I got a latte.  Now, usually I try not to double dip on my coffee but you know what? I was tired and this was a real latte and I enjoyed every bit of it foam milk and all.  Then for lunch I had a portabella sandwhich and a beer.  I suppose I could have ordered a salad but it was super nice to be out with my family and we had a super nice meal.  I am glad I ordered what I wanted. It was nice to treat myself.  I did super good this week and it wasn't like I was eating McDonalds.  On the workout front, since I hadn't slept well I was sluggish.  This was the first day that I actually DIDN"T want to work out and it was hard to find the motivation.   But you know, I did what I could. Later that day, I walked extra to find ...

Ok I don't want to miss a day so this will have to be a quickie! yesterday when I worked out I felt stronger! woot! Ive been having smoothies for lunch.  god I don't remember what i ate for breakfast.... oh right leftover mashed potatoes and then lunch was a chile relleno.  But the big win for hte day was the workout.  I did several videos without having to stop or skip a move I couldnt do with good form. Definitely feel like my body is stronger.  Ok byes!

Well yesterday did not go the way I wanted it to.  BUT I didn't let that stop me from being healthy.  Old me would have been it's ok, baby yourself.  But new me says, that's no excuse. Life is gonna get hard and if you fall off the wagon every time you're never gonna get anywhere.  So let's walk through it.  I think I handled oversleeping pretty well.  I began to sort of spiral but I caught myself and worked through those thoughts.  I guess I needed the sleep? I got a half hour extra woot! For breakfast, yesterday I felt like breakfast was missing carbs so I ate four (small) flour tortillas with my beans for breakfast.  I know every nutritionist ever is saying NOOOOOO! but you know what. I felt full and satisfied.  That might have been because I was worked up from oversleeping but honestly it wasn't the worst thing ever.  Plus it wasn't sugar.  I do think that some carbs in the morning might be ok for me. Now, in terms of exerci...

Yesterday everything was off.  I didn't bring the blender up so no keto coffee.  Which no big deal. But in the morning I ate beans with avocado, cream, cheese and hot sauce. That should have been filling.  However, ALL morning I was not hungry but definitely craving the carbs.  First, I craved bread then I craved sugar.  I ended up having a few chocolate chips, which helped sorta but I don't know where the cravings came from.  Did I not eat enough? Or did I need some carbs with my breakfast.  Let's talk productivity.  All week I've been sort of up and down with my productivity.  But yesterday, I had little pockets of time that I filled in with youtube videos.  I listened to NO music and basically was distracted all day.  By the time Dulce came over I was rushed and when it came time to take Gilbert to soccer I was flustered and frustrated.  I also felt very tired in the afternoon, like a sugar crash.  I made mashed pot...

Gilbert is back at school and I'm finally feeling like we're back in the swing of things.  Finally walking again and I am loving these early morning workouts! Also I have been cooking lots.  Over the past months I upped my breakfast game and now I've been trying to up my lunch game.  So far so good.  Also yesterday I did make the playlist and I also made the coffee but then I forgot to take the thing back upstairs so I didn't do that today.  I had no sugar but I did have a beer but I had just had class so I'm not worked up about it.  I haven't been writing about productivity and energy.  My energy levels have been good.  However, I feel like the youtubes have been sucking up all my time.  Tuesday the Bachelor premiered and I basically didn't get done what I needed to because I was watching all the recaps.  As I just put on another video, I'm not sure waht to do.  I'm addicted. ok time to get stuff done.

So I figured out that my sweatshirt weighs a pound.  so next time I weigh myself I'll take that off! Ha!  Yesterday was a great day for eating! First, I chopped up some arugula to mix in with my beans and eggs for breakfast. Greens for brekkie go me! Then for lunch I made roasted potatoes.  And I did them the right way to make them all crispy and good.  Then I chopped up more arugula with them.  Guess what? I ate at like 4 and I didn't eat (not even alcohol) before bed and I wasn't hungry in the morning.  I was a little bit hungry before going to bed, but not like super hungry. So I decided that I'm not getting the benefits of fasting by putting milk in my coffee.  So I brought up the blender and butter so I could make keto cofffee in the morning.  Anyways, I made a big mess.  Ha! I need to try it again not at 330 in the morning so I can see if I can make it.  I have really been enjoying the morning workouts that's working for me....

Yesterday I had oatmeal for breakfast.  Surprisingly it kept me full so maybe I'll keep that in rotation.  I did eat it with pomegranate seeds on top so maybe that added the fiber to keep me full.  For lunch I made Thai Fried Rice.  Yum.  I did end up eating another portion right before bed because I didn't eat that much at lunch because I wanted to save it for Gil.  This happens frequently.  I should remind myself to make more so that there is enough.  I should have not been lazy and just . gone ot htestore to buy more rice. On the workout front, I did my workout in the morning before Dona Estela came.  I LOVED it.  I mean I sucked at the workout, but it felt so good to be doing it in the day.  I felt more energy and more calm during the rest of the day.  Definitely will make an effort to do my workouts early now.  Such a different feeling.  I did like a million burpees and I am definitely sore today in my abs and ...

Today was great it terms of eating.  I had no sugar and ate enchiladas for brekkie and a big salad with Jicama for lunch.  Definitely want to make the salad again.  I didn't work out but I was out in the garden a lot so I got lots of vitamin D.  That's all. 

Yesterday was a mixed bag.  I did work out.  But I was interrupted and did no cardio.  I missed that cardio.  It was also very cold, which makes me not want to work out.  Going to have to figure out how to get round this. Second, I didn't mean to have a cheat day, but Gil kept on giving me sweets.  He made hot chocolate and two pieces of Rosca.  However, we also ate jicama, which I though I didn't like, but actually really enjoyed and Gilbert liked it too! I discovered that jicama has a ton of fiber so I will definitely be eating more in the future. Nevertheless, I found that my weight skyrockted to 137 pounds this monring! Yikes.  Will have to work that back down this week.  So far, I am not losing any weight.  Will have to figure out what I can cut. Also breaking my 1 cup of coffee rule.  It is just so damn cold every morning >sip<.

Yesterday was a good by the book day.  I followed all my rules.  I ate well.  No sugar. I worked out.  But the funny thing Ive noticed is that the earlier I eat and the more I "fast" the more I weigh in the morning.  Of course, I'm drinking lots of water, and not walking enough so I think things will even out once Gilbert is back in school and I'm on my normal routine again.  I ate beans twice, but once with potatoes and another time with tostadas.  Both had a little fat, and I found it more filling. Also, got really hungry around 2 and was eating spoonfuls of peanut butter to stave off the hunger.  I guess not much to report today.  Till tomorrow.

Well yesterday was the first day I really tried to be healthy.  I ate two big bowl of beans and a did a workout.  Blogilates this month will not have enough cardio for me.  I don't say that because cardio means weight loss but because I tend to use lose interest without cardio.  I love me some cardio.  But I added a 15 minute Jessica Smith and that worked well.  I am nice and sore in my triceps today so thats good. Also a little sore in my back.  This will help my posture.  However, after I ate today, I was still hungry.  I think thats because the beans did not have any fat in them.  I ended up putting cheese on it but maybe next time I should put some sour cream and or avocado or an egg.  I also had sugar cravings.  I don't know if that's because of all the sweets I've had lately but I'll have to work on that.  When Gilbert left the first thing I did was grab a handful of chocolate chips. At the end of the day, Gil br...

Ok-- I started off the new year! let's see if I can make it to 90 this time.  First, my first official weigh in 133.8 WOOT! I started off low already. But wait!  I squandered the first low weigh in on a rather unhealthy day.  I skipped breakfast, drank liquor with my SECOND coffee and then drank 2 bloody Mary's.  But you know what.  First YOLO.  But secondly, I started my journey because I was conscious about what that was doing to my body.  I actually had full intentions of working out later in the day, but we got back later than expected.  So I learned two major takeaways. 1. EAT BREAKFAST because I don't necessarily know when I'm eating next.  2. If I can sneak in an early workout, even if its 20 sit ups or some stretching, then that'd be better. I have to start prioritizing health and that means by starting early in the day.
