Ok. I just finished my first workout in my "restart". I didn't use weights and I was working out like it was my first time..... Yikes. Back stiff but I did all 30 minutes.
Let's keep this up....

Thanksgiving Aftermath
Hey. How was your Thanksgiving? Pretty decent here.
I'm sorry I haven't blogged as much, but the truth is ....I forgot. I had so much going on that blogging was the last thing on my mind. Horrible I know.
I had a follow up with my wonderful Doc today. I had blood-work drawn to see how my new regiment was affecting my body.
First off I waited until last minute to do it because I know I haven't been the most loyal of dieter/workout individuals of the past few weeks. I know my diet was going to throw my #'s off.
And it did....HOWEVER.... not exactly how I expected. I looked at my results and saw some of my #s were high (Glucose & Bad Cholesterol) and my Good cholesterol was lower than it should be...
THAT BEING SAID. Each of those numbers was either lower and higher -respectively- than it had been. Which means I am going in the right direction. The bad numbers are lower than they were last time I had blood-work drawn and the good number- although still not great-was better than it had been.
So YAY!!!
My weight has maintained and my blood pressure was lower. Not all is lost.
Hub is still on his PSMF and lost 13lbs. So we're going to work together to be better.
WE're back to the grindstone today and even if I don't blog as much in between, we're hoping to log positive results!

No more status quo
Hi!! Can you believe it's November already? Yikes.... neither can I. I am SO NOT ready for the holidays!
Ok. Few things to cover here so let me get started.
I really need to buckle down. I have 2 things coming up that I really want to be successful for.
The first being some blood work that I have to get done before my next appt at the end of the month.
The second. AIRPLANE. I got super cheap seats to visit my parents in December (round trip under $100). I would like to have a comfortable trip, so I really need to work on those inches.
I'm proud that I've found a medium to maintain my weight--but now is not the time for that. I need to get back to losing.
And that will be possible again...especially since ......drum roll..
Long time readers may remember PSMF. Click on that link if you need a reminder.
So, Hubby has seen a dietitian and they're starting him on PSMF to get a kick start on his weight It's going to be tough on him. I remember. His saving grace is me. I will make his meals, so he has my support.
I think I'm going to do a modified version. Stick with my 21 day fix of fresh foods and mix in the low carb/high protein of this diet. This will allow me to stick to my healthy eating, be supportive to Hub and still have fruits.
I'm going to be spending a lot of time the next two days figuring out a menu and such. I really want him to succeed and this will help me get him on track too. I need to discuss with him the beachbody on demand videos and maybe something will interest him.
Fingers crossed....
