In Search Of

Today has been great as far as meals and preparation. I was ahead of schedule most of the morning, so I was able to get ahead on tracking, prepping for the babies, and looking up some home workout videos that I am considering.

So, I spent a significant amount of time looking over the Beach Body website. I knew that they had a few dance programs others, but I was really excited to look into the dance ones. I am super excited about Country Heat and Cize. I would also like to try the 21 Day Fix. If anyone owns these videos, I would be ever so grateful if I could borrow one before I commit to the purchase.

I don't know about Country Heat, but I am pretty sure that hubby would like to do Cize with me. I am prayerful for that. He is not as intense with his desires to change, but he is super supportive of me and is not complaining at all about the alterations I am making to our family meals. He also appreciates the fact that we are not eating out as much, if at all.

In addition to ownership, I would love it if anyone wanted to share their experience with the Beach Body Programs. Whether you fully committed to the entire program with exercise and nutrition or just did the nutrition or just did the workouts... I would love to hear about it!

Happy Tuesday, everybody!

Reflecting on Progress Over Guilting Lack of Perfection

It has been about a week and I have been back on My Fitness Pal now. Great timing, right? Just before a baby shower on Saturday, an impromptu pre-Memorial Day dinner party at a friend's place and then Memorial Day, complete with picnic! Needless to say, I have been over my calorie budget each day since Friday. I do not regret it, I am not punishing myself for my choices, I am not feeling gross or completely out of line in my numbers or my decisions. I have maintained (as a matter of fact, I stepped on the scale this morning and was down 1 pound) and I am still waking up with relatively high energy levels - likely because I have been getting more sleep with the evening routine hubby and I have agreed to. How do I plan to move forward? I am working on adjusting our evening order of events, so that hubby and I are prioritizing our evening workout instead of skipping it once we sit down. I am taking a baby step in pre-tracking my food, without putting too much pressure on the eve...

Breaking Up with Numbers

When I say, "breaking up," what I really mean is, "taking a break from..." I don't like numbers. They confuse and sometimes discourage me. The scale is a major number, though I am not taking a complete break from that. The real numbers that have been bothering me lately have been on My Fitness Pal. The calories. The minutes exercised. The number of steps. The burned calories. The macros... O, the macros. All this to say that I know I need them to lose, but I have been maintaining for a solid month by simply writing down what I am eating. This month, I'm going back to the weights and measures, but still holding off on the calories. Probably until January. Without judgy red or over-achiever green numbers staring me in the face, it has been easier to work on other habits and not be distracted. For example, I have been more consistent with sitting and eating my food off of a plate, as opposed to grazing while cooking or impulsively bingeing on whatever passes ...

Semi-Quarantined and Semi-Healthy

We're now in July and just as it seemed our lives were working themselves back into normal, businesses were ordered to close up again (with the exception of outdoor seating and to-go options in restaurants), with no sight upon salons and the like being able to re-open.  Though life outside has continued to fluctuate, we have been able to continue with schedule adjustments and family time. Praise God we don't have outside commitments, besides church and hubby's work. We have been able to keep life pretty constant here and the ability to continue to fellowship and gather together at church has been such a blessing!  That being said, I am joyful in the ability to create consistency in my fitness and health regimen. Everything I have learned from several sources has given me the ability to continue in a downward weight trend and keep up healthy habits that support the goals I have for becoming healthier and stronger.  That's not to say that I haven't had a lot of strugg...
