@shans34 Thank you for your daily journal here. I enjoy reading it, learning about you, following your progress.0

I'm not following a program. I took yoga classes on that past during my time in south east Asia. I simply do the poses as taught there. I have the routine memorized.
That's great! I need a program because I do not know the poses. I'm in the awkward phase. Just doing a beginner one I found on Amazon Prime. :-)

Day 8:
Start of my day is good. I enjoyed a long walk. I have tons of yard work to do yet. Buy soil, spread soil, plant seed, water, lay gravel, etc. It will be the majority of today's exercise. All the while I will be doing laundry and chasing my 4 year old. While out shopping this morning, I plan to purchase some kettle bells for core and arm exercises.
My meal today will be BBQ chicken breast with a Caesar salad and some corn. I want to try eating less carbs. Not low carb, just less.
Feeling: pretty good! I had a good rest and have a busy day ahead. So all in all, feeling great!2 -
Ah I love a good long walk!
I'm having bbq chicken tonight as well haha
What are you going to plant in your yard?

Also, you might find it more worthwhile to get dumbbells so you can increase the weight as you progress... i know the exercises you can do with both differ slightly so you might prefer kettlebells0

i would love to have a big yard someday! It doesnt look like its going to happen for me though haha.
My dad has a big yard and he always has nice fresh veg so I always take some interest when someone says theyr planting something 1 -

Day 8:
Weigh in day is looming! I'm expecting decent results this week! I have been working hard.
Exercise: got my run in this morning and I have plans to do yoga and some weight lifting later in. I also have a ton of housework that will keep me busy.
Meal: I'm going to BBQ some kebobs and have a side salad and some ancient grain tomatoey thingy. I might throw in an apple!
Feeling: amazing and challenged. Yes I plan to kick a lot of *kitten* this up coming month!1 -
You're doing great. I get worn out just reading your daily routines.
Spreading soil, laying gravel, laundry, housework, yoga, weightlifting, etc. whew!2 -
Day 9:
My day started with fighting kids. Girls specifically. I have 4 kids, starting with. Girl, boy, girl, boy. Ages are 15, 13, 11, 4. So it can get quite chaotic in my house at times.
Meal: having asparagus sautéed tortilini with basil and tomatoes. Chicken and a garden salad.
Exercise: I hit over 5k steps before 8am. I hope to hit another 5k before the day is up. I also plan some weights and yoga. I have a lot of housework to do too.
Feeling: pretty good despite my day staring with caty girls!
I'm feeling really good. My weigh day is tomorrow, I hope to see some results!2 -
Your positive energy is above fantastic and contagious!0

Wow you're so active! I feel terrible about not being able to workout. I just feel so lazy. And with my 6 month old baby and 9 hours job, i am hardly left with any energy. I do wish to start some sort of cardio.. May be walking.0
-
With so much workout, i am rooting for a significant result for you this time

Day 9:
I had my weigh in today. I'm very frustrated. I feel like I try so hard to yield next to no results. I mean for what I do, only 1.2lbs lost? It's just wrong. However, as always, I'm not defeated! Just need to up my game apparently!
Meal: burgers on the grill, some other eating through the day as today is splurge day.
Exercise: went for a run this morning and I had a lot of errands to do. That's about all that will get done until Monday.
Feeling: annoyed, tired and pretty ok. I know what a combination! Fiancé came home early from work which throws off my routine, but I'm glad he is here.

I think 1.2 pounds is great, though I understand your frustration considering how hard you go at it. Enjoy your day of taking it easy. :-)0
-
Don't worry! At least you went down the graph. Its better than any other direction 0
-
I know how you feel but sometimes it happens, I've had weeks where I've had little to no losses...Dont give up because it will come off 0

Down is down thats 2% of your already amazing loss don't let it get you down, your doing great! 1
