I'm notoriously bad for wanting to do ALL THE THINGS!  I get involved with a lot, and then don't get to put my all into it and focus on a few things.  This challenge I really want to focus on the basics and tracking my progress.  The last couple challenges I've gotten off track and focused on health things that, while important, aren't the big things.  

 

My ultimate goal is to lose weight.  I would like to get back down to ~150lbs or less.  

 

A few weeks ago I noticed my pants were a bit snug, and weighed myself for the first time in a couple months and I'm currently at my heaviest ever (and not for the good reasons).  I want to stop moving in the wrong direction.  I think the reason that I've never really succeeded with losing weight in the past was because I was actually pretty happy right where i was.  But now that's changed and I need to

and do this!  

 

Goals

 

1) Whole30/paleo - I'm currently doing a whole30 but it'll be over on June 23.  After that I plan to eat strict paleo. My goal is that I stick largely with the whole30 approved foods, but I'll be allowed to combine ingredients to make things that aren't allowed on whole30.   I will be allowed 1 non-paleo meal/snack a week.  The goal is that when it's non-paleo it's not "looks like I'll have a giant fast food meal" but instead "hmmm, maybe I do want a glass of wine/beer, fries with that"

A - 6 weeks

B - 5 weeks
C - 4 weeks
D - 3 weeks
F - <3 weeks

Grade + can be awarded if I ate 100% paleo. Grade - if I had more than 1 non paleo meal/snack.

 

2) Monday night workout - This is to be a test drive of the class I'm planning for my fall strength training class. Between a good workout here and the Group Power class I teach Thursdays, these should meet my strength training requirements.   :) If I have a sub for a class (I already know I do on June 26th because i'm going to Tegan & Sara! I need to make up the workout by attending a group power class. June 25th I'm starting an aerial silks class, and I plan to continue practicing aerial hoop on Sundays!  

A - 6 weeks

B - 5 weeks
C - 4 weeks
D - 3 weeks
F - <3 weeks

 

3) Walks - minimum of 3 - 30 minute walks per week.  I have a gorgeous park right behind my house and there is really no reason not to do this.  30 minutes is a short time, I just need to DO IT.  I spend all day at a desk, I need more movement in my life.

 

Life side quest

Create list of 3 important things to get done for the next day.  I think that by choosing this one, I can incorporate other tasks (some listed below) into here without getting overwhelmed. 

 

Life stuff:

  • work on business plan
  • do fitness conference sponsorship stuff
  • talk to kinesiology department head about cpt
  • decorate house/prepare for condo-versary housewarming party
  • make plans to see people more often

Tracking:

I stopped doing things this way a while back, and I think I need to pick it up again:

1) Paleo - 6/7 6.5/7 3/6 4.5/6 0/6 0/6 = 20/38

2) Workouts 2/2 2/2 1/2 2/2 2/2 0/2 = 9/12

3) Walks - 2.5/3 2/3 2/3 1.5/3 0/3 0/3 = 8/18

 

Three things - 7/7 6/7 3/7 2/7 0/7 0/7 = 18/42

 

Starting stats (pre-whole 30) May 24:

Weight: 159.5lbs

Bust: 38"

Ribcage: 33.5"

Biceps: 12.5"

Waist: 33"

Hips: 39" Pants-level: 37.5"

Thighs: 23"

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The studio where I take hoop and pole and silks and all that is looking for a barre instructor. They do their own training so with my qualifications I should be a top contender! Task tonight: revamp fitness resume!

There is never a sudden revelation, a complete and tidy explanation for why it happened, or why it ends, or why or who you are. You want one and I want one, but there isn't one. It comes in bits and pieces, and you stitch them together wherever they fit, and when you are done you hold yourself up, and still there are holes and you are a rag doll, invented, imperfect. And yet you are all that you have, so you must be enough. There is no other way.

I'm getting considerably better at this whole30 thing.  Work bbq today.  Bread, cheese, pop, chips and desserts.  I ate none of it.  I had 2 hamburgers (sans-bun), unfortunately they had bbq sauce on them, which I'm sure is non-whole30, but I'm willing to let that one go.  Loaded up with the veggies that were there too.  Success!

Ugh, I need to move to Canada so I can come join in all these awesome classes! I wish we had an aerial hoop & silks class here :( I think the closest one to me is like 2 hours away :'(

 

Your goals sound awesome though :) I have been struggling with my walking lately (I work in an office and I walk for about 20min each lunch break), just struggling with walking the dog when I get home. But yesterday I gave myself a 20 second berzerker mode and just did it! And I'm so glad I did it! Just need to get into a bit of a routine again!

 

Veggies for the win :D

Thanks everyone!  I'm on day 13 of my whole 30 (wow, am I that far in already?!?!) and I'm doing really well except I want sweets. Particularly, cake.  I'm day dreaming about it constantly. lol

I actually had dreams about cake eating too haha.  Some cookies from time to time.  So real I woke up with the feeling I broke whole 30.  Then realized it was all in the dream haha.

Hahahah that's funny! 

 

I went out for dinner with friends last night, ordered a pretty much compliant meal (it came with baby potatoes, but I figure that potatoes once in during the month is not a deal breaker).  It's funny because during the meal selection part I feel like it's hard, and that I want to order delicious burgers and wraps, etc, but when my food comes, I'm just fine eating it (and seeing the things other people are eating).  

 

I was craving sweets really bad yesterday, so I picked up a bunch of blueberries, strawberries, plums, and a pineapple (which I haven't cut up yet).  I've been binging pretty bad on the fruit, which is why i know I can't keep too much of it around!

 

Oh! And I made ghee for the first time today! If you don't know what that is - ghee is also referred to as clarified butter, basically butter with the milk solids cooked out of it.  I've never actually tried it, but had a brick of butter in my fridge, which is a no-no for whole30, but ghee is approved, so I thought, what the heck? why not?  :)  Ghee is supposed to be the wonder fat " It has a higher smoke point than butter, a better flavour than butter, keeps better, cooks better, all around better than butter"  http://www.chefheidifink.com/blog/my-life-in-food/how-to-make-ghee-indian-clarified-butter/  

 

I've finished updating my fitness resume for the barre instructor job, just sent it off to a friend to read over.  I didn't realize I had quite THAT much stuff to put on there.  lol  Hoping to send in the application soon.  I'm guessing as soon as they find someone they like that'll be it.

Yeah the sweets will come at you like crazy. Sometimes out of the blue.  I usually have a shot of apple juice with my meal if I really need something.  Also, Pluots are in season which are INSANELY GOOD and so are prunes for a quick tasty thing.

Wait until you get food nightmares.

 

Did you update the resume?

Resume updated and submitted.  Super nervous, but there's nothing more I can do right now! :) 

 

I actually had dreams about cake eating too haha.  Some cookies from time to time.  So real I woke up with the feeling I broke whole 30.  Then realized it was all in the dream haha.

Apparently karma's a bitch, the night after laughing at you for this, guess what? I had a dream where I ate cake and thought I'd broke whole30.  lol  

 

Wow fantastic stuff. Keep up the awesome work. Im so impressed by all that you are doing so far, you have certainly inspired me. :)

Awww, thanks!  It's everyone around here that keeps me going too!

I've never had or seen pluots.

Also great for sugar cravings - medjool dates.  Those things are like candy!

Likewise! lol  

 

Fingers crossed for you with the job.

Thanks!  i'll be sure to report back if I hear anything!

Day 1:

I made my list of 3 things to get done today 1) a couple small tasks for the fitness committee I'm on 2) planting fresh herbs 3) getting my monday night workout it (I'm deciding this counts as it will take a chunk of my evening)

 

I'm about half way done my whole30 and feel like I"m seeing changes, but will have to wait to see the results at the end.  I'm debating between checking when I"m done the whole30 (June 23) and waiting until the end of the challenge.  Thoughts??  Which reminds me, I need to post my starting numbers here!
