My wellness journey is a multi-faceted adventure. I have some great updates today – from food tasting notes to some non-scale victories that have shocked me.
First, for my tasting notes: I tried this yogurt. It was very creamy. It had a delicious blueberry flavor. Macros: 170 calories, 3.5 g fat, 9 g carbs, and 25 g of protein. I added some extra blueberries.
I went to the gym today. I did well. Ten minute warm up on the treadmill. I then used the following machines:
- Seated row – 50 lbs – 3 sets of 10
- Back – 50 lbs – 3 sets of 10
- Lat-pull down – 50 lbs – 3 sets of 10
- Pec fly – 40 lbs – 3 sets of 10
- Abdominal crunch – 50 lbs – 3 sets of 10
After that, I treated myself (It is free with my membership) to a hydro massage. Apparently this is how to get me to go to the gym and exercise – promise me a hydro massage! LOL
Some of my recently discovered non-scale victories:
- I can bend over and touch the floor.
- I can touch my hands behind my back and actually lift them up a little.
- I bought some new clothes that fit me and they are at least two sizes smaller than what I’ve been wearing.
I swore I wasn’t going to buy new clothes until I lost another 25 pounds, but my pants were falling down, and I didn’t want to wear rainbow suspenders to keep them up.
I’ve been using my Lumen device almost every day and yesterday I blew a 1 – which means I woke up in fat burn. That means I was burning 80% – 100% fat while sleeping. When I went to bed last night, I blew a 2, which means I was burning 60% – 80% fat.
While my weight loss has slowed a little, I am feeling better and that is a big deal.
My next gym visit will be Thursday. Is it weird to say that I’m looking forward to it?
Thanks for reading.
