Hello Everyone. Been crazy busy and stressed. Last 1-2 weeks full of eldercare appts - and they always makes me nervous. I have a big birthday in June so I’m marking today (yesterday was the last major appt but more to come) as my restart date. I’m getting sick of hearing myself talk and giving myself the side-eye. So - action action action. So far so good today. Starting CG Iron for like the 5th round on Monday and did some Les Mills Combat today and will again tomorrow. Can’t get enough of those for some reason. Hope everyone is well!1

Relapsed. Terrible binge last night; felt bloated all day. My body is meant to be used as a vessel of love, grace, and kindness to help others. I will get rest tonight and patiently fuel my body small amounts as needed from here forward. Movement, oxygen, water, forgiveness and love are staples.
Goals:
1. Read entire Bible in order starting w/ New Testament 1 chapter/day. (John 17)
2. Reach 104.0 lbs by 4/30/24
3. Nutrition level Good daily
4. Maintain dayshift schedule (5a/5p/9p)

I’ll check in and comment later.
@justagirl81. Ugh…. I hate those times. It’s like a drug addiction (not that I know). But totally get you. I love the words you speak in your post.

Oh my…. If we lived next door that would be me too. I love the Les Mills Combat. I do the 60min one (that’s actually 45 mins?? ) on repeat. Love them! I’m marking today as my day 1 also. What calorie range do u do? 1300 if I rememer right? I need to so 1500-1700 other wise I’m not sticking to it. I’m also going to attempt no sweets. Sugar. Like my bread has some but- not that type of ridiculous counting. I’m meaning cookies and the like. Here we go!!! I have a June beach event I’m working on and to look sexy for ME.

@SherryRueter - my faves are Les Mills Power Kata - the 45 min one I did today and the 33 min Power HIIT (kills me)!
I actually only see results when I stick to no more than 1200, little processed food, 10k steps and lots of water. I feel stuffed and bloated - way way too much sugar but the last two days I’ve been on point. Warm weather today is serving as a wake up. Summers’ a’comin!🥺2 -
@ceebeeslim I have the whole set also. Haven’t tried that 33min one in forever. I’ll add it this week!
I nailed today nutritionally. Feels so much better than the past 3-4 days. Makes me curious - if I stick (as I stick with) this for the next 5 days…. What will my month end weight be? Have I made any progress??? Getting curious.
We’ve got this ladies!!!!!1 -

CeeBee and Sherry,
I feel happy in seeing you girls living so healthy!
I'm inspired to look into those Les Mills Power Kata workouts now. 
0 -
@Justagirl81 you sure dropped that 2# weight quickly! Any secrets, LOL?
The Les Mills Combat workouts were sold by Beachbody back in the day. They are only on DVD and.... likely only thru Facebook marketplace. As with most of Les Mills, they combine the right music with the rightmoves and its like jamming out to your favorite tunes. At least that's what it is for me. I've often thought about trying a 3 month free trial or something from Les MIlls.
The right music just makes all the difference for me. I love going to dances and finding a good 1980's hair band and dance floor.
I'm feeling inspired this morning that this week will be great and that when I weigh in sometime in the next 5-7 days that I will see a loss. Which reminds me, I'm supposed to be listening to proverbs.

Monday - total body and a solid meal plan lined up!0 -
Honestly, not feeling like eating food right now. Could it be that when I feed myself the right whole foods and not processed foods... that I don't feel like a drug addict. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I just loooove Les Mills body combat - the music, moves, tempo, all of it. ! I lost most of the dvds except for the Power Kata - 45 minutes. I watch the Power HiiT on the daily motion website. It was on YouTube but was taken down. I guess we’re human but I just don’t understand how I can feel so great post those workouts and then fall into a period of time where I just become a lump. Ugh.
Well not lumpy these past few days. Been hitting my water goals, step goals, workout goals. Started Girvan Iron today and finished it off with a 30 min treadmill workout. I got up extra early before my eldercare starts! Wish me luck I can stick with it!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽1 -
Feeling lighter and less bloated. I can sure tell when I am ON the right foods vs when I've thrown caution into the wind and had an off plan meal/treat/day.
The difference in body feel and mindset is night and DAY, am i RIGHT?!?!?
And when I am eating ON plan, Whole foods, I feel SO much happier, clear, there's less junk messing with my headspace.

LInk to Les MIlls Combat DVDs on Ebay https://shorturl.at/aeEO2
Incase you want to look into getting them, I see they have some on ebay as well.
@Ceebeeslim Too bad you lost the others. Becoming a lump... I think it has to do with our food choices. I can't speak for you , but I'm more of a LUMP when I have chosen to eat non-whole-foods (like a boxed cake mix ... or doritos....anything that kinda looks like food but is really just bags of chemicals that marketing campaigns have been designed to sell us on, and the big companies research and develop the chemicals to alter our minds just like alcohol or drugs. This is HIGHLY my opinion. I just know that I make a lot better choices when I choose to not have those chemicals in my body.
This thought process is really all new to me- I never realized how GOOD I would feel until I quit 'doing their food drugs". Seriously. And I'm only a few days into it.
YOU CAN stick to it ! Its all MIND over Matter. MINDSET will propel you forward.

Great job, @SherryRueter! And you’re so right - I feel worse after eating those frankenfoods! Oh how I wished I loved yogurt - such a good protein source but I just can’t. I even look side-eyed at it in the supermarket aisle!🤣🤣
Thanks for the links to the DVDs. I may buy them - I just know they’re somewhere in my house post move - along with a collection of Jillian Michaels dvds. Don’t like them as much - did get good results from her six week six pack ab workout though.
On target today with steps, workout, water and calories. Hope you feel better @justgirl81

Today was weigh in day!
You know the drill. Decide to weigh in.
Pray. Pep talk about how the number doesn't mean everything.
Contemplate that its higher than last time.
Pray again.
Give yourself a high 5 in the mirror for being a good person.
Pray.
Look at the piece of plastic.
Say to yourself "here goes"
and.... yeah.....
Mine said 105.4 *insert high 5 and WOOHOO*
I didn't even try for a second, third or fourth try. I quit the game.
Very proud. And you know what. I feel good about what I am eating.
It feels good to have this many veggies. and to have a lot more plants than animals.
I still have to supplement with whey to hit my protein
And with Egg whites. A little dairy. I can't quite figure out how to get to 100+ protein without it yet.
But, notice, they aren't "Meat".
So my april update log is finished:
