Exercise - I combined my walking today with moving all the pictures I have had stored since I had the walls in the house were painted. Now that I know we are going to move later this year, I pulled all these pictures out and sorted them. This required carrying them from where I had them stored to another room where I would…

I am so ready. I picked up 4 salad, a rotisserie chicken, and 3 pounds of grass fed beef yesterday. I made sure I had everything I need for my morning Keto coffee. My strength training exercise area is set up and ready to go and this last week I successfully completed the strength training routine 3 times. I likely will…

Definitely have made both an appointment with myself and a commitment to myself to take good care of my body. I learned from a 4 day weekend over New Years, where I ate lots of breads, and carbs that just those 4 days added 6 pounds and an inch to my waist and hips. That is crazy. It takes 6 weeks to lose 6 pounds and 4…

Took my measurements and found that I not only gained weight over New Years weekend I gained an inch around my waist and hips. Just 4 days of unhealthy eating resulted in 6 pounds gain and added fat on my body. Never again. I have very much confirmed how sensitive my body is to carbs and I really need to avoid most carbs…

For the last 7 months I was consistent with IF and Keto and then came New Years weekend when I was out of town in an AirBNB with my children and grandchildren for my brothers wedding. There were snacks all over the place and we watched rival football games, I started having some popcorn and ended up eating the whole bag…

Exercises I will exercise between 45 and 60 minutes a day. 4 times a week it is just walking with stops to do counter top pushups and squats 4 times during the walk. 3 times a week it is walking with stops to do counter top pushups and squats 2 times during the walk plus a strength routine that I started a month ago which…

My meal plan is a Healthy Keto based diet with all proteins, moderately high fats, and low carb vegetables. I track in MFP every day. When I don't track I cheat on my eating. Tracking may only be accountable to me, but it works. I don't like having my macros out of balance between low carbs, protein, and fats. I do also…

I have lost 50 pounds in 7 months all thanks to BLC - Biggest Loser Challenge. The support of the team environment and the healthy challenges each week keep me focused on me and my health.

PRE-CHALLENGE ACTIVITY #5: Mindful Eating vs. Emotional Eating For the last couple of weeks, planning and controlling meals just became too difficult with my mom's health challenges...and family coming in and out and bringing mostly unhealthy food.
