I’ve been on this weight loss journey since the beginning of
the year. I started off counting
calories without much success. I only
lost about 5 pounds in 2 and half months.
Then, I started a diet provided by my sister in law that used to be a
professional body builder. I lost 15
pounds in two months. During those two
months I learned so much about nutrition.
I’m not doing her diet anymore, but I am still following the same
principals…lots of protein, low sugar, healthy carbs, etc. Total I have lost 21 pounds, but over the
last few weeks I have gained 3 pounds back.
This month my eating has not been on track due to vacation, a family
death, and sickness. It’s time to get
back on track and knock those 3 pounds out plus more!!!
Goals for
the week
100 ounces
of water a day
Try protein pancakes

least 5 times

I am
participating in Skinny Meg’s challenge and I’m LOVIN it. She had a challenge to see who could do the
most pushups (not on the knees). I
pumped out 45. I did not win, but I was happy with my
number considering I haven’t done much strength training lately due to the same
reasons why I’ve been eating badly.
She also gave a challenge to burn 1500 calories over the 3 day holiday weekend. I went to the gym on Friday to kick start the challenge. I usually go to the gym at lunch time. The gym is very close to my work. So, to drive to the gym from my house on my holiday off was a pretty big deal. I wasn’t able to complete the challenge due to family activities on Saturday, but I did get one workout in that I normally wouldn’t have. It’s the little things.

Wow great progress! I love protein pancakes! So yummy and if you don't have protein powder Greek yogurt and cottage cheese can also add a great protein punch. #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteThanks! The recipe I have does use cottage cheese. What do you normally put on your pancakes?
DeleteConsistency and doing what others won't or can't do are definitely keys to success! You have nice triceps! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your weight loss so far! I love the attitude you have about getting back on track. I know you'll continue to be successful :) I have a pancake recipe I love: 1/2c oatmeal, 1/4c cottage cheese, 1 egg, 1/4c fruit as batter and 1/4c Greek yogurt and some honey on top mmmmm :)
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! Protein pancakes are sooo good :) Stopping by from the NSV link up :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome progress and yay fro my fitness pall I love that site.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! Great commitment and I like MFP also. What recipe did you use for the pancakes, just curious here!
ReplyDeleteTraining is something that I cannot imagine my life without. I do sports every day. In order to improve your body and health. I learned about chest and triceps exercises for women and it is often heard about the recommendation to use powerful pre-workouts or caffeine. It really works. However, I don't recommend using these things on a regular basis. First of all, it is the development of tolerance towards them. In addition, things like caffeine can sometimes reduce the concentration of certain anabolic factors, which is not desirable in bodybuilding. That's why it's okay to use caffeine in situations where you need to drastically change the time of your workout (shift it to the morning, for example). But try to get used to the new time as quickly as possible and stop using stimulants.
ReplyDeleteRemember that your body is a very adaptive mechanism that is ready to adapt to any of your possibilities. Listen to it and do not interfere.
