1. Recap of the week



Food: eh definitely could have been better. I have kept soda out of my diet. Need to work on healthier choices and portions when I am out to eat.



Workouts: Once again could have been better. I hurt my back Sunday; so I skipped my work out Monday and then the cold shut down the gym Tuesday, but I did get up Wed-Friday which was good.



Miscellaneous: Had my doctors appt and he said that my DR is not really severe and told me to where a brace while doing core workouts in order to keep it from getting worse an bring it back together at the same time.


2. Plan for the Following Week



Food: FOLLOW MY MEAL PLAN. UGH. No self control



Workouts: 2 Spin Classes 3 days of cardio and 3 days of weights. Core everyday ( we shall see)



Upcoming challenges: No major obstacles coming up. Weekends are hard for me to stay on track.






Non Scale Victories, Celebrations ( doesn't have to be fitness related) My body as accumulated to waking up at 0430 so I am not exhausted all the time.





Bonus: Do you take vitamins; supplements? If so which ones and do you notice a difference? I have not, but I have been told that a probiotics and some of the B vitamins can help with stomach weight

Recap: Food was good. Not bringing junky snacks helped and I planned cauliflower and broccoli to go with whatever we were eating so I had good choices and made DD and DH carbs. Workouts: none but I ran around like a crazy lady yesterday. I probably did 3 miles in my 1200sqft office.

Upcoming: grocery shop smart Sunday and gear it towards my needs first. Dig out my pedometer to see how much I'm walking each day (I expect crazy office all week).

Challenges: my feet/calves keep swelling. Last night it took over an hour of having my feet elevated for my sock design to disappear. I'm trying to drink more water but don't really get why this is happening all of a sudden.

Bonus: I take ultimate immune support as my vitamin of choice. I feel like it really helps me stay healthy and when I start to feel yucky I sick guide vs the maintenance guide. I think it makes my immune system stronger.

Recap/Challenges: Food was ok. I've not been wonderful at sticking to anything because even when consistent, I haven't seen good results. Cue a viscous cycle right?
Workouts were good but I'm getting tired of running so much. This may be sour grapes that I'm not getting to run my race this weekend like I had planned.

Upcoming: My nutritionist is brain storming ideas of things to help me focus and to jump start my metabolism. Potential intermittent fasting for me () or maybe something else. We'll see what she comes up with.

Bonus: I take my gummy vitamins. I don't notice a difference.

Food: I cut out milk this week. I have not had the super painful bloating since then. I would get it so bad it would go into my upper back. If I eat a lot of cheese I take a lactaid. I cut out some gluten but not all. Just kind of seeing what happens I guess.

Workouts- just the physical therapy once a week and daily jaw exercises. Not hitting the treadmill like I should and not sure where to get motivation. My bed is just too comfy and I like sleeping in too much. Maybe right after work?

Celebration- the polar vortex is officially over! That was a loooong week.

Bonus- lately I have been taking zinc and I feel like it has been helping. And vitamin D. My Chiro says the adjustments help with the immune system. Maybe but i’m Really just there for my jaw.

1. This week: food was pretty good considering we were trapped in the house. That's usually bad in terms of healthy eating. I only did 3 crossfit workouts. I wanted to walk or run on the treadmill but couldnt make it work.
2. Next week: starting Monday I'm only allowing 3 cheats per week. I'm hoping for 3 CF workouts and 2-3 treadmill.
3. Victories: I'm just a couple days out from my period and dont feel bloated or moody. This happened before the holidays because I was eating like I had a brain.
Bonus: I take calcium + vitamin d when I remember to help prevent stress fractures. Currently taking some emgergen-c gummies every day to prevent sickness. 2 weeks in and so far so good lol

Recap: I did one workout and then ate horribly. We ordered out 3 times this past week. That is not typical for us, but the stupid polar vortex threw off our balance (at least that is what I am blaming it on). Also, being on antibiotics for 2 weeks has really messed with my digestion which has led to poor food choices.

Upcoming: Get two workouts in and get a control on eating. The only planned outing is for FIL's birthday on Saturday.

Victories: I got nothing but motivation to do better this week!

Bonus: I am taking fiber capsules in an effort to reign in my blood sugar and digestive health. I had to stop when I started the antibiotics. But I will getting back at it by the end of this week.

Last week I got in 6 workouts, even though I was aiming for 3-4 because it was a crazy week. I was pleased with that.

Eating is not great, but I did make a strong effort to control my portions and eat more salads. Scale has not reflected this effort yet.

This week I'm aiming for 5 good workouts. I am not shopping until tomorrow, so I'm planning on more salads. DH is such a meat and potatoes guy, so it's tough since I love it too. But I'm going to try to just eat the protein and a salad, rather than all of the starchy sides too.

Bonus - I take a million supplements. I take a multivitamin, high dose Vitamin D supplements, CBD oil, and elderberry. I swear the elderberry has been helping to keep some of the sickness at bay. It's not working for poor DD1 - she has been sick for weeks.

Is there anything anyone recommends for more energy? I feel so run down all the time... might help if I slept every now and then, I suppose...
