Whew, guys, I just had my butt handed to me by a virtual reality workout! We got a new VR gaming headset but it also does lots of other things. I got a Les Mills Body Combat fitness program (shadow boxing) and it is awesome. In a 3d environment, you have targets coming towards you with different moves. uppercut, jab, etc and you have to hit the target in the center using the right move at the right time. And then there are objects that you have to dodge and others you squat under. It is so fun and satisfying to hit the targets to the beat and there's feedback as you hit the targets.
What is cool about it is that you don't need a PC and it is wireless, so you can easily find an open space to play. Including outdoors.
I found a video that gives you the idea, but it feels very different when you are in the headset and everything is 3d

so excited. I'm using another fitness app called Supernatural that has boxing, flow movements, stretching and meditation. It keeps track of your stats and you can set goals. Finally my love of playing video games is going to get me in shape!!! I already did my boxing workout and then I started in on the Supernatural fitness and here I am all sweaty again.1

That sounds fun, Carla! So nice when we can find something we enjoy doing as far as exercise. Work got in the way so I had to cancel my appointment with the personal trainer at the new gym last week but rescheduled for this Thursday.
I am back on track with food yesterday and today.
B - ezekiel english muffin with tahini
L - lentil soup and raw veggies
S - apple and a small handful of pumpkin seeds
D - baked potato with the Good Foods tzatziki and roasted broccoli
Got my mile in this morning on the treadmill. I am not doing well with that on the weekends. I get up and think I'll do it later, but I don't, so I am going to have to treadmill first thing even on weekends.

Hope you had a good day back at work, Nanc. It has been madness the past couple days at work for me. I left right on time today. I need to recharge a bit tonight. Going to relax and read.
B - ezekiel english muffin with tahini
L - lentil soup
D - atoria wrap with lettuce, veggies, good foods tzatziki
Snacks were raw veggies and then a vegan cupcake a client brought me. It was small and no oil at least.

Yesterday my cousin came over and we decorated my tree. I really like how it turned out. Most of the decorations are from the dollar store. There is glitter everywhere in the house but other than that I love it.
Last night's Plantage meal was a teriyaki stir fry with tofu over brown rice with some kimchi on the side. Yum! Another winner. So far, we've like 3 of the 4 meals. The one we didn't care for in particular was an orzo dish that didn't have a lot of flavor. It came with a veggie soup with French lentils, kale and fresh dill. I liked the soup a lot but Joe didn't like the dill in there.
I'm loving my new VR headset and the fun workouts. The biggest issue I have right now is that every muscle in my body is so sore that I can't do as much of it as I'd like to. There's a big section on meditation and a guided beginner series that I'm going to try. The 'views' in the program are breathtaking!

Love the tree, Carla! Very pretty. I'm so jealous you have that plantage place. There is a place near me that carries WFPBNO entrees but it's hit or miss what they will have and whether they are cleaned out when I get there. I do buy my nooch there because they buy in bulk and package for sale so it's much cheaper.
This has been a rough week at work. I didn't want to get up this morning so I didn't treadmill. Just had a veggie wrap for dinner and going to do a little more work then get in my mile on the treadmill before bed.
First appointment with the personal trainer tomorrow evening. I'm really nervous! It's a big place but the trainer assured me she would help me get through the initial anxiety. I was supposed to go last week but with it being a short week and short-staffed it got postponed until this week.

I hope you have a good experience at the new gym, Mihani. It will be nice to get familiar with the equipment and staff before the new year. Have you looked recently to see if there are any new plant based meal companies nearby?
Yesterday's dinner was the best one yet. I don't even know how or why it was so phenomenal but they nailed the flavors and textures. It was a pasta with squash and cannellini beans topped with a tempeh bacon crumble. It is the first time I've appreciated tempeh and what it can bring to the table (<- heh). The lemon dressing for the arugula salad was so fresh and different.
Joe happened to mention our new meal plan to his dad when they were out for breakfast together. I just heard last night from my MIL that they are going to try the meals as well. That is great news because they have always been meat eaters and even if they don't do other meals plant based they would still be improving their diet tremendously.
Yesterday I completed a short flow workout, a boxing workout, and day 2 of the intro to mindfulness.0 -
Nanc, yeah the end of the year through tax time is my worst time for sure. Are you going to be having juice every day again?
Carla, there's nothing really like what you found around. I keep looking! There are a few places but they use oil and not necessarily whole grains, etc. There is one about 2 hours from me, but that's a long drive to pick up food on any regular basis, although I've considered just doing a week because I'm intrigued.
So happy for you finding workouts you enjoy!
Great meeting with the trainer! more tomorrow. I got home so late and need to eat something light and get to bed.
