Did someone say my name? 🤣

A month later... Sorry I fell off the thread. I lost my sweet girl Lucy on Christmas eve, and would post on social, but jumping into my challenge was meh. With travel and work I just couldn't do one more thing, Thanks to everyone who supported me. Love.

Do the chia seeds blend and get ground up or are you drinking the seeds? I  keep thinking to try them, but I won't like it if the aren't blended in

They dont get ground up but if I let it sit for about 15 minutes before drinking their texture gets almost pudding like- so the smoothie is a consistency I really like!

Feeling better. A little less work stress, a few more answers. 

Doing 5 OTFs this week since next week I’ll be traveling back home and can only go there once. 

Fab4 smoothies are going well. Found a blend I like a lot:

2 c coconut milk

2 T coconut oil

2 T chia seeds

2 scoops vanilla protein powder

1/2 c frozen strawberries 

I tracked my food the last three days and oi vey. Fixing that up right quick. 

Waters fine. Just meh. 

Allonsy!

Omg hi sorry!

Progress report- I got sick! Yay!

Still hitting my OTF and Fab4 goals. 

Missing my water goal intermittently. 

Since my resume is fixed up that’s technically done. Now to decide if I need to do anything with it. 

Sigh. 

In other news I decided to get Bacon Bits an elf on the shelf. I might regret it later but for now it’s cute and fun.

Mr. Raxie and I went there on our SW driving adventure a few years ago. It's GORGEOUS wowzer.

 

Sorry for the thread jack Hammi - how are you doing?

Well soon after I posted this thread we started the process of selling our home, buying new construction, packing, purging, moving.

Needless to say, every spare second has been spent in this process.

I would say I closed the challenge meeting all but my keto goal. I closed my OTF challenge with an egg fast, so maybe I did better than I feel like I did

Taking a brief reprieve to get this move done (August 29 we close on the new) and then I'll reassess and redirect.

Hello all- checking in...

OTF workouts are great

Water is great

Carbs are doing ok

Need to get some study time in.

Adventures in Ham-Land

I got another 14er this weekend (Quandary Peak). It was great- took longer than I anticipated but I still got it. (7.5 hours of hiking)

Needless to say, my calves are giving me charlie horses about every 5 minutes (yes I am remedying this haha) 

I made it to OTF this morning, but it was definitely a green day...

Gave myself a few more carbs on Sunday for the hike, as I am not fully fat adapted, I needed to supplement for the time being.

Anyway- onward and yonward!

Impromptu OTF today in because #goals

It was good. I tried to wimp out on the treads, but held myself accountable and kicked my own ass.

Strength days are awesome.

"When hype fails, discipline will lead."

So much yes.

Bring it, week 2.

Pushing a stroller: still no joke. We finished in 44:43 and lil man totally ran the last little bit.

I love being his mom <3

I ran in a fasted state and then we waited for awards because my bestie won 1st place in her age group (yay!) and by the time we made it back to the burbs for breakfast it was 11:30 and I was ridiculously hungry.

I went over on my carbs, but consciously, and am allowing it.

It was a fantastic morning!!!

5k day! I told Bacon Bits he can run across the finish line. He’s so pumped!

I took a green day today, after a double workout yesterday. My body still feels tired. I also signed up for a 5k this weekend, so I need to shake it off. I'm grateful it's a short work week!

Keep goin friends!

Dinner tonight: Meatzza

1lb Italian Ground sausage, rolled flat (about a 1/4 inch) and baked.

Top the massive cooked sausage patty with some pizza sauce and favorite pizza toppings.

Layer with all of your most favorite cheeses.

Put back in oven and melt cheese.

Turn on the broiler until some cheese browns.

Enjoy your delicious low carb dinner. Because, Pizza.

You're welcome.

Day 2. Water water water.

Also, why can't I eat all the candy in my office?

Eff.

This morning we had an endurance day. I am slowly getting my speed back- so much so that I signed up for a 5k Saturday.

Because why not.

I started level 2 of my Coursera work. The lady has a pretty accent and I'm finding I have to watch the videos twice because I just like to listen to her haha.

Hah! I’m struggling to drink all my water today! We can do this though!

Ooo I don't track water intake, but I definitely become aware when I haven't had enough!

The wheels fall off when I don't get enough. And if I start too late in the day, my sleep suffers because I wake up in the middle of the night to pee.

yes. I love your goals. and I know they are big and impactful for you.
