Sometimes you just have to listen to you body, and yesterday was a day to skip Zumba. I didn't feel well at all, and I opted to not push through. I woke up this morning feeling 100% and even went to the gym at 6:30. The bonus is that I feel invincible this morning!! Side note: Why do guys at the gym spend so much time on…

I feel like I picked the wrong week to start this challenge! I knew hormones would be the worst, but I forgot how much I bloat too. The deflation has begun though. :-) Cool non-scale victory though: I lifted for the first time last Tuesday, and I felt very, very sore through Thursday. It made sense since I hadn't done much…

We're taking my kiddo out for an evening of fun for family time to start her weekend of rest, which is great! I felt really sore after lifting on Tuesday (because...duh), but I felt so much stronger today. I love it!

I knew the scale would creep up. PMS is hitting hard. I also know from past experiences that re-introducing workouts can make my loss stall not to mention lifting weights for the first time since 2007. We will see next week if the stall is related to working out, which it could last a hot second, or if it’s my cycle. I’m…

The Zumba class last night was great but also a reminder that I need to be slower at getting back to the gym. In the past, I've gone too fast and too hard and was eventually working out 3-4 hours a day for 6 days a week. Effective but very, very unhealthy. This time, I'm introducing it slower into my routine. This week I'm…

Hi there! The protein is to help against muscle loss, which is also why doctors recommend exercise and strength training. I know 100 g of protein is thrown around a lot, but my doctor recommended to get at least 0.5 g of protein/pound to 1 g of protein/pound as a daily goal. Your weight is the key ingredient here, not a…
