Weight Loss Update - August 2014

 
 
So I'm back on Weight Watchers. MFP just doesn't work for me. Weight Watchers does the trick. Since rejoining on the 9th of August (I think...) I've lost about 10 lbs. I say about because my weight tends to fluctuate between 5-10 lbs daily...I'm not joking. I hate it. Anyway, I've also started a waling regime with some co-workers and because of that I can tell that I'm losing inches. I don't keep track of inch measurement...maybe I should start...but there have been several indications.
 
1. My watch is loose. It used to pinch my wrist now I have a little sliding action.
2. My maxi dresses/skirts are longer, I'm assuming it's because there's less of my wideness taking up the material.
3. My shirts hang more loosely. I wish my pants would be looser but hey, I'll take what I can get.
4. A few people have told me my face appears slimmer. IDK. I can kind of tell but not really.
5. My shoes are bigger on my feet.
 
Here are my goals for September (I know it's early but I need the next week or so to get my mind right):
 
1. Lose 20 lbs.
2. Work out at LEAST 3 times a week (5 per week is the ultimate goal)
3. No sodas. I was doing really well on this but the afterschool snack cart is back at work and things are just all messed up.
4. Walk 75 miles (I see a lot of people doing the 100 mile challenge but I don't want to set myself up for failure)
5. Work my way up to 10 continuous rotations with my fitness hoop (I'm gonna post about this soon).

Hey y'all!    I was finally able to get my grubby little paws on more Michaels Craft Store Grab Boxes. It was completely by accident, I simply wanted to buy a t-shirt to complete an order and I saw 4 boxes so I purchased 4 boxes. Here's what was inside: Most of this will get used. I was most excited about the floral department stuff and the lights. The total for my boxes is over $400. Anything I can't use, I'll be donating to my job! 

BOOK REVIEW: "I Almost Forgot About You" by Terry McMillan

While I'm not a Terry McMillan fanatic, I do usually enjoy her books. This title was hard to read and confusing from the very beginning. I understand that Georgia is on a mission to find herself but the books is long and gets boring often. Plus there are way too many characters to keep up with. I will still pick up a Terry McMillan book in the future but I do not recommend this book.

Intermittent Fasting....Let's GO!

So I've been hearing a lot about Intermittent fasting lately and I'm officially ready to give it a try.  Intermittent fasting is not a  diet , but rather a dieting pattern. ... By fasting and then feasting on purpose, intermittent fasting generally means that you consume your calories during a specific window of the day, and choose not to eat food for a larger window of time. I am diabetic so I am going to do 9 hours of eating and 15 hours of fasting. I will post often on my progress. I've created 2 documents to help me plan. While most people say you can eat "whatever you want" I am going to try to be mindful of what I eat and stick to one dessert per day. I can't quit cold turkey on the processed sugars because I'm an addict!!!! Wish me luck! Have any of you tried IF? Comment below. If you're interested in the files I'm using, email me and I'll send them to you. No need to recreate the wheel.  XOXO
