    UGH!!! You guys, I am feeling so lost right now! Now that my half marathon, 5K, and concert/trip to Manchester are over I'm just still feeling so exhausted from everything. Manchester was great. Despite the fact that I got my TOM 3 days early and had to deal with that the entire 3 day trip, I somehow was able to deal with it and I stuck to my diet plan. My activity level was good because I walked everywhere, did not take a single bus, and because I had to stand in line for over 10 hours, every time I went to my apartment to use the restroom, I ran to make it quicker. (Also moved around a ton while standing in line and it was freezing) So for each day of my trip I averaged 20,000 steps per day. Not bad! And I was in heavy ketosis based on some telltale signs I won't mention here. It was such an amazing time but from the moment I came home my diet just fell apart. I don't know if it was delayed TOM cravings, or if I was eating to release the stress of the previous days, or feeling down at being perfect on vacation yet still gaining a pound? I don't know, but I feel so lost and out of control right now. So now that 1 pound gain has turned into a 4 pound gain. In just 2 days. So I NEED to get back in here, back to making these daily posts to keep me accountable. Also feeling lost and confused about my workouts. When I was following my training schedule it was so easy to know what to do. But now I just don't. Aldo doesn't help that my body does not feel like it's really truly recovered from my 2 runs and my trip. I have rested each day, but also worked out. My workouts normally make me feel energized and I just feel good while doing them, but now they just make me feel tired and I feel so out of shape while doing them. Ok, glad I got all that off my chest.

    I just HAVE to share this photo from my trip. I know it's not fitness related, but this moment was the highlight of my trip. The singer I went to see is James Arthur. During one of his songs he came close to the audience and I had the chance to hold his hand. I didn't know it but his photographer got this shot of James holding my hand while singing one of my favorite songs. The next day while I was traveling back to Frankfurt James shared this photo to all of his social media. Such a happy and special moment for me. ye0f5my9copr.jpg

    Comments: so I've decided to try something out.. not sure if it's going to work but will let y'all know if it does. Don't know if it's an actual thing or not but just think it may work for me based on how my weight tends to act. So fingers crossed this works and will hopefully see some results 🙏😊

    Wooohoooo....into the 170's. Last month was terrible weight loss wise...but this month has been much better. Now marching towards that major milestone of a 100 lb weight loss and then later to a BMI under 30 (gets me to only being "overweight").

    Good Afternoon TEAM SLIMSONS

    THIS WEEK'S MOTIVATION TIP: FIND AN EATING PLAN THAT WORKS FOR YOU!



    So we've all been on so many weight loss plans. What I want to expand on is that we are all different individuals with different issues. So our eating plans need to be individualized to what works of course sometimes it takes experimenting to find that out. So I'm happy to say that t for me it's the Mediterranean Lifestyle Plan that works for me. I've been following this plan for 7 months and have great results once I stick to it.


    Heres a link that help me as I suffer with fibroids and cysts on my ovaries and although I had an Hysterectomy I still have my ovaries so this helps prevent my system naturally without added meds.
    https://www.healthline.com/health/fibroids-diet#diet-and-lifestyle-changes

    Eating the Mediterranean way

    Interested in trying the Mediterranean diet? These tips will help you get started:

    Eat more fruits and vegetables. 
    Aim for 7 to 10 servings a day of fruit and vegetables.

    Opt for whole grains. 
    Switch to whole-grain bread, cereal and pasta. Experiment with other whole grains, such as bulgur and farro.Use healthy fats. 

    Try olive oil as a replacement for butter when cooking.
    Instead of putting butter or margarine on bread, try dipping it in flavored olive oil.

    Eat more seafood. 
    Eat fish twice a week. Fresh or water-packed tuna, salmon, trout, mackerel and herring are healthy choices. Grilled fish tastes good and requires little cleanup. Avoid deep-fried fish. (I'm allergic so this is out for me)

    Reduce red meat.
     Substitute fish, poultry or beans for meat. If you eat meat, make sure it's lean and keep portions small.

    Enjoy some dairy. 
    Eat low-fat Greek or plain yogurt and small amounts of a variety of cheeses.

    Spice it up
    Herbs and spices boost flavor and lessen the need for salt.

    Remember whatever plan you chose you need to personalize it for your taste buds.
    A sample of my lunch today:

    Be blessed and make today a productive day.
