Great week so far

The last few days have been great with my willpower and new routine.  I've been doing 18/6 intermittent fasting along with continuing to make better choices. 

Starting with Wednesday- got up and exercised- ran intervals with Ella and did the Wednesday exercises but Coco kept trying to wrestle with me while I did crunches! 

So first thing I ate was macaroni salad- not pictured because Eli was using my phone.  Second thing I tried was some fruit snacks- these have no artificial dyes or colors so as a family we wanted to try them out.  Jury is still out.  

Eli had some popcorn and I had some too.  

Then I hadn't had enough veggies, so I made me a broccoli salad.  It was going to be a 7 layer salad before I realized I had no lettuce.  Whoops. 

And before my fast ended- I had some cheese stuffed pretzels.  

Through all of that lots of water, still took all my Plexus stuff per normal routine.  

Today I woke up better.  Didn't exercise first thing because of the other lazy people in the house.   Had my morning routine of Slim, Active, Metaburn, X-factor and antidepressant.  

Then had my Lean and collagen smoothie.

Then I had a blueberry muffin.  Because yum!

Made a chicken curry stew with carrots, mushrooms, onions and roasted cauliflower.  

Had another muffin.  It was good.

During all that time water, water, water.  Had my BioCleanse mid morning.  Had another Active around 3 with my last dose of BioCleanse.  

AND FOR THE FIRST DAY ALL WEEK DIDN'T NEED A NAP!

I also know my waistline is down and bloating is down.  Can't wait to weigh in actually!  

Exercised with Ella and Lyle today too!

So I had my Probio5, Mega-X, Ease and watching Grey's before bed!

Blessings in Health and Happiness!

Exhaustion

My brain.  Today is a day where everything is just swirling inside.  Good thoughts, bad thoughts, exhaustion (mentally and emotionally, not physically). 

Fear.  Fear of things happening in the world.  Coronavirus, natural disasters, political crap.

Hope.  Hope for future things.  Ella duel enrollment, Eli possible services or change in school or both.

Trying to get things checked off the list.  But one or two things get done and then I don't want to anymore. 

Eli didn't feel like doing school.  Me neither.  We do it.  Then I don't want to do my stuff.  Brain is done. 

I'm sure this might not make sense.  If your brain hasn't been done before you got up for the day, you may not understand.  Someone posted this.  It spoke to me.  Don't mind the language. 

Sorry.  Kind of.

So this morning I got up despite not wanting to.  Worked out with husband.  I was happy about it. 

Then I did this little workout thing and walked on the treadmill. 

Drank water, took my vitalbiome, drank my Slim, and more water.  

Late breakfast had my Lean with collagen smoothie.  I was a little better right then.  Eli also had a smoothie which made me feel like a winning mom.

I took my x-factor, Metaburn, and antidepressant with it.  Considering upping the dose.

Water, water, water, BioCleanse.  Big ole salad for lunch. 

Water, Water, a Few Peanut M&Ms, water. BioCleanse, then Active.  Then I resumed my fast except water.  

Evening is weird for me.  If I don't eat, I'm not hungry. But I know from experience if I eat ONE thing even it'll turn it all on and I'll want to eat it all!  For better fasting I should have had extra protein, but didn't feel like it. 

So before bed I'll have Probio5, Mega-x and Ease.  

Water, water, water. 

Grace needs to be on the menu too I think.

Blessings in health and happiness-

Push the wagon back on the road again...

You know when I go quiet awhile something has happened.  Usually something stressful- like crazy work hours, doctors appointments or something like that.

In this case, it was a combination.  A social security phone call, work training, a doctors appointment that was VERY stressful, and helping someone out that was a huge strain. 

So once again, I feel like I'm starting over.  The amazing news is it didn't take weeks to get back!  That's a win!  When you don't go months between getting back to it, then you're progressing!

So today I did a thing- I used my Disney pass for the first time!  Yay! 

I had myself a fun day at Animal Kingdom all by myself.  I was debating going by myself, but then decided self care is needed!!!

So after I had my slim and Active, my smoothie (not pictured) and morning supplements, I took the kids to their respected areas and took off for Disney!

Oh, rewind a minute- I did exercise this morning with Ella too! 

And I met a friend for lunch at a restaurant in Pandora area and it was sooo good and pretty healthy too!

The restaurant was Satu'li Canteen and this was Combination Bowl: Grilled Beef and Chicken over noodles with herb dressing. 

After I was done wondering and riding rides, I headed home and grabbed a chocolate bar.  Whoops.  

Dinner was lowish-carb pizzas on tortillas with veggies on top and salad on the side. 

Sorry it's sideways. I'm too lazy to fix it today. 

Oh, and I had my BioCleanse between each meal and took 5 bottles of water with me to the parks and had more when I got home.

So overall, not too shabby.  I'll take it considering what life has been.  If someone can just gift me around $50k it would help decrease my stress a lot and it would be easier to focus on healthy habits. Just saying.

I'll take my Probio5, Mega-X and Ease and go to bed soon!

Weird craving day

Weird craving day- that's an attention grabber, right?  I'm guessing it's still left over from the odd eating and sleeping schedule from the long weekend!

Today started with getting out of bed when we didn't want to and picking up heavy stuff.   I had my pink drink and vitalbiome with it. 

Water, water, x-factor and Ease and breakfast of baked egg omelet that I made last night with green peppers and onions- just had to reheat this morning. 

Water, water, water, BioCleanse and then started to get the munchies.   Had 2 cheese sticks....

Some strawberries.....

A salad.....

And not pictured another cheese stick, a handful of jelly beans, and 4 caramel M&Ms.   I was so hungry.  I was like that catepillar in the book.  

Water, water, water, BioCleanse...

So then I had (not pictured) a chocolate Lean and was finally full!   (and yes, I should have had that before the cheese, jelly beans and M&Ms.  I never said I was perfect).  

Then I was barely hungry for dinner.  Peas and chicken (of course with some left over chick-fil-a sauce!)

A banana also with dinner. 

And now I'm not hungry at all.  The reason it was weird is I'm usually starved/hungry from about 5 PM until bedtime normally, where today it was from 10 am until about 5 when it turned off and nothing sounded good anymore.  Odd, right? 

Anyways, now I'm good, and I'll have my Probio5, Mega-X and Ease and go to bed.  Plans to run with Ella in the morning!

Post half marathon feels

So the last few days, I haven't been posting because I've been getting up before 3 am, napping each day and going to bed early.  Why?!

Walt Disney World Marathon weekend!   I volunteered at 3 of the 4 races and ran the half marathon on Saturday! 

My legs are still crazy sore and this morning I didn't get up to exercise to finish making up for lost sleep!   My husband and I already have agreed and plan to wake up and exercise in the morning!

I also got a little off track of my Plexus products due to weird sleep schedules and not knowing what day and time it was....so I'm happy to be back on track today!

I woke up and had my Pink drink, Active and Vitalbiome. 

Then I had my Lean and Collagen smoothie with my x-factor, some extra Ease, and Metaburn.

Water, water, water and BioCleanse (I've missed some of these and wonder if less magnesium is why my calves are so sore).   Snack was some popcorn with Eli.

Lunch was a ham and turkey on a low carb spinach wrap with mayo, tomato and lettuce. 

Water, water, water, BioCleanse.  Some strawberries and deviled egg for a snack.

Water, water.   Dinner was ground turkey patty and steamed veggies.  I put all the burger toppings I normally would eat and just cut it all up together to keep it low carb. 

More water, and ready for my Probio5, Mega-X, and more Ease! 

Good news for anyone wanting to join me on my health journey with my supplements- while I believe 100% they are worth every penny, this weekend I went to a Plexus training and got a discount code for new people!  Get with me to save some money!

Blessings in Health and Happiness!

Sunday in recovery

Today I started trying to live normally again and did pretty decent. Had a few coughing spells but got through!
Started with my Pink Drink and Vitalbiome and then lifted with the husband- did dead lifts and clean and jerks among other things. Then ran a mile with Ella.

So breakfast today after working out was my Lean and Collagen smoothie with my X-factor, Ease, and Metaburn!

Water, water, water, and some Active after church.  Lunch was a 7ish layer salad. 

Snacks today consisted of banana and cheese stick.  I really wanted chocolate.  Lucky for me, I don't have any so I didn't have to torture myself! 

Water, water, water, BioCleanse.  Dinner tonight was Meatloaf and mixed veggies, but I made sweet potato potato salad and ate that before dinner was cooked and didn't do the mixed veggies.  

Those don't look the yummiest, but they are!   

More water.  Family and one of Eli's friends were outside playing this evening including jump rope contests!  I think I win!  

Before bed I'll do my Probio5, Mega-x and Ease!
