Hello! I do realize that this Blog is more for my personal record on this journey so that is why I paused for a bit. I am on a 19 day streak since wrecking my 50 day one. I am also 60 days into using ISA-which I still love! My little 60 scale hop showed me at 15 pounds lost, officially I won't record a weight till Saturday. But 15 is super in my book! I also joined a group of FB friends-we all actually met when we did Weight Watchers-WAAAAAAAYYYYYY back in the day. Like 7 years ago maybe. Anyhow this little challenge has a $20 buy in and runs for 12 weeks. The winner is the one who loses the highest % of weight. Not pounds.
With that "game" in front of me that I actually want to have success with-the other 3 times I have bailed and gave up-I decided to buckle down with ISA. I have a game plan that I am starting off on Saturday. I need to order more ISA supplies for a cleanse and actually do the cleanse. I need to not use the weather as a excuse for working out. I am on a good streak with how my life is now and I want to move forward and continue this lifestyle change. This challenge is just what I need to keep me going for the next 12 weeks.
So Saturday's are my WI day and the week starts fresh for me. I tend to live dangerous on the weekends. I still workout-either a walk or a long bike ride, but I don't really have a ISA shake cause I eat whatever the family is having. Just smaller portions. However I am now going to cleanse every day with a full cleanse on Sunday's. The ISA cleanse for life you can use daily or do a full cleanse day. From what I have read, it is best to take the cleanse in the morning before breakfast and then mid afternoon. Right now I am having 100 cal oatmeal I found at Costco called Oatfit. I love it. It's quick, delicious, filling and good for you. http://www.betteroats.com/brand/oat-fit/ So that has become my breakfast. Lunch at work involves a shake-1 scoop vanilla and 1 chocolate. I mix it with a full 16 oz of water. Some times I have fruit on the side with it and some times yogurt. Normally I would go home and get prepped for a workout. Lately(last 6 days) I have been L A Z Y. Using the weather as a excuse, meeting with friends, too busy with the kids. I am just thankful that I haven't gained any weight. Why is that...cause I am still eating clean and healthy.
So my M-F will go CFL before I leave the house, oatmeal around 9:30 along with my accelerator, shake & fruit or yogurt for lunch, CFL & accelerator around 1, snack if needed about 2:30. Water, water, water throughout the day. Once I am home it's time to change, except for Friday's. Since I work till 6 I will have a shake at about 5 and then change into my workout clothes so I can hit the trail before I got home. But normally I am going to change and get a walk in. Once I am done and back home it will be time for another snack or light meal. Some nights it's a smoothie with ISA and fresh fruit or PB. Sometimes it's a lettuce wrap with some type of protein. Sometimes it's yogurt. Sometimes it's a nice big salad. Depends on what I am hungry for. More water and a ISA flush(keep you regular) before bed. Pretty simple and flexible. I can easily switch things up if I need be.
I have been pushing for 5 miles lately which is nice when I walk. I also downloaded 2 new apps on my phone. One of them is a 7 min workout and the other is just a circuit of workouts from Daily Workout Apps. You can do 10, 20 or 30 min depending on the time you have. I am also lucky enough to have a Bowflex at home and a supportive husband who is going to teach me how to use it. With those 3 items at my disposal as strength and toning workouts I should be set in all aspects of getting through this challenge.
I don't have a exact goal but I know that I want to lose 15 more pounds in 60 days. That will be 30 down in 120 days. I can and will do all that I can to make it happen.
One wonderful thing that I have discovered...my legs don't rub and chafe when I wear a skirt. :)
