Monday Motivation

I am falling in love with learning new things about plant based eating at the moment.  Just watched another doco on cancer and heart disease prevention.  Super intersting.  And scary.

Funny Friday

I haven't been concentrating on the workouts lately, but #true.

Wedding Update

Here are all the good things from the wedding and it wasn't difficult at all:

 - did not have any appetisers from waiters with trays (no vegan option)
 - did not have any alcohol (just not in the mood - it was cold out)
 - let a full dessert tray go by and not tempted at all
 - the wedding cake tray was filled with cake and after my initial tastes, not intersted
 - danced, danced, danced

Good night.

Monday Motivation

Sing it sister!
If I keep up a 1/2 pound per week pace, I will be very happy.
The funny thing is that my first week of fat camp (ever) they asked if we would be happy with 25 pounds a year and every person in the room said no.  But if I had done that...I would currently be at my 149 goal for several years already.

Sunday Weigh In

So...yeah.  I don't have a weigh in.  Andrew and Lam got married this weekend so I was out of town.
I can report that I had a great week.
Still no meat.
A few pats of butter, milk and a bit of cream today as a cheat.  Proving once again that diary is my bed bug and not so much the meat.

I'm excited to weigh in tomorrow. :)

Funny Friday

Yep!
Also, this inspired me to find some funny gifs for Fridays!  I'm on it! :)

Weight for the year

Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know my lowest weight of the year.  And it is 258.1 on 21 January 2019.  So in general, I have been up this year. 
I would like to end the year under 258.  That is my new goal. 

Motivated to...walk

I get very bored walking.
I don't like walking.
I am not interested in walking.

I have FINALLY been given the go ahead by my physio to start walk/running again.
BTW - he could NOT BELIEVE how ALL of my swelling is gone from my plant based diet.  GONE.

I was telling Heather how bored I get and she suggested saving my FAVORITE podcast for my walks.  Then it becomes a treat. So I did that and it does seem like a treat. It worked.
It was Real Time BTW.

My swelling is gone

After giving up meat and diary, I did not notice any changes.  And then I looked down after a few days AFTER HAVING SIX INTERNATIONAL flights and my knees and ankles have absolutely no swelling.

My ankles and my knees are completely normal.  Or...as normal as can be.  I have no swelling anywhere.  I am so interested in other changes that could be happening in my body.  How do you know?  Well, I just had my bloods done a few weeks ago so I would like to have them done in a few more months just to see what happens.  How else can I measure?  My weight.
How else???

Monday Motivation

I am not saying I am vegan or plant based eating.
I say...I am trying to eat as plant based as possible.

Sunday Weigh In

I am really  happy to report that I weighed in on 262.8.
I have done no exercise in 3 weeks.
I have been logging my food but really, my only change is my concentration on plant based food.

I am eating a LOT of carbs.  I need to concentrate on more veggies and fruits but I am good.
Obviously.

Funny Friday

I hate this viscous cycle!!!!  Think of your butt!!!
Maybe I need to carry around a picture of my butt?
