This week I lost 3.6 pounds for a total weight loss of 31.2 pounds. I went back into the archive of this blog to see how I was doing two months into my weight loss journey last year. When I saw the total pounds lost in two months I was shocked that it was the same exact amount that I lost last week which made 2 months into my current weight loss journey! I remember my journey last year and doing the drastic Dr. Oz Weight Loss Plan and Skinny Jane diet. While I did lose a lot of weight doing those diets I feel that Keto is so much easier for me. I am enjoying the foods so much and don't have to kill myself working out like I did last year. #LovingKeto!
I did a huge shopping haul at Costco to get some quality meats. We are trying to eat only meats that are steroid, hormone and antibiotic free. We also only eat uncured bacon which has helped me tremendously with the amount of sodium we are consuming. Buying food like this can look very costly when I think about my food bill before. It tends to even out though since I cook almost every meal at home and we don't eat out a lot.
This week I took a lot of walks with the toddler. I am enjoying these mild fall weather days and want to get as much walks in as possible before the weather gets colder and the snow starts showing up. I love keeping my toddler active and she enjoys the mommy and me time outside which is a change to our normal routine. I pushed the limit on how much she could walk and she really surprised me but not once telling me she was tired. It also helps me when I bring her home tired so that she can take a nice nap while I cook dinner. Along with our walks I did some TaeBo videos I found on YouTube and some strength training workouts 3 times this week.
- Take vitamins and probiotics.
- Get in 8000 daily steps.
- Continue TaeBo and strength training workouts at least 4 times this week.
- Test at least two Thanksgiving keto recipes.
How do you keep your kids active in the Fall?
That is a great accomplishment. Congrats on the weigh loss. We take a lot of fall walks in the woods to keep up with some exercise.
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE YOU! sorry for writing in all capitals :D But look at you going, girl! Bravo for all your hard work and commitment.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your weight loss! Your commitment and hard work really pays off and it encourages others (like me) to go for it.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing your weight loss goal the right way with proper nutrition and exercise. You'll achieve your goal faster and more effectively.
ReplyDeletegreat job!! You got this! Seems like you have a lot of things planned and set so that's great. I'm also testing out some recipes for Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've made some wonderful lifestyle changes. I agree on buying quality meat that's steroid-free. I'm not a Costco shopper, but I do use other wholesale clubs!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for your weight loss. 3.6 is nothing to shake a stick at. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a great job. This is a hard time of year to keep on track, but you're doing great. I wish we had a Costco around here!!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a great idea to share your weight loss journey so publicly. I can't wait to get a Fit Bit this year for Christmas--I hope it helps me stay on target!
ReplyDeleteGetting an activity tracker will definitely keep you motivated to move more. It's the competitor in my that makes me want to beat yesterday's steps.
DeleteLook at you rocking your steps! I struggle just to hit 10000 each day.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight loss!! I am working back on dropping the ten I put on the past couple of months. Getting in more steps helps you feel so much better overall.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I so need to start my diet, my weight has gotten a bit out of control lately
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your weight loss. It is great that you found something that works well for you.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! Do you buy hormone free meats (and nitrate free bacon) at Costco? I didn't think mine sells it but now I need to check again!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I get hormone free chicken and turkey products at Costco. The uncured nitrate free bacon I get at Aldi's.
DeleteIt's great that you found a diet that works for you, diet has always been the biggest factor when losing weight, not exercise. Congratulations on losing 3.6 more pounds! That's impressive.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on this weight loss journey. It's never easy, but it seems like you're doing great.
ReplyDeleteGreat I am proud of you on your weight loss.
ReplyDeleteSoooo many steps - good for you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're making great progress. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you lost that much weight. I just started nutrisystem yesterday, so I am hoping to loose some weight myself.
ReplyDeleteCongrats keep up the good work. Avocados are great to eat and stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea sharing your story on weight loss. Congrats you're doing great its never easy
ReplyDeleteYou're doing such a great job at losing weight! Way to stick with it! This is really motivating!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a hot summer that I didn't do enough with the kids outdoors, so I'm making up for it now. We love to enjoy the hours of sunlight and the fresh air.
ReplyDeleteWell done you, for the weight loss and for your planning of meal and excersice!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I am on 10,000 steps daily goal!
ReplyDeleteI so need one of these Fitbits. I definitely want to check out the keto diet. I've read so many good things about them.
ReplyDeleteI hope you give it a try :) Keto has been the easiest diet I have been on and I think I have tried them all. I am never hungry and enjoy the foods I can eat.
DeleteCongrats. You are doing such a great job. Getting in 8000 steps daily is also my goal.
ReplyDeleteI have a fitbit that I haven't been using but I need to start! You are totally motivating me to get back into shape after our last baby 5 weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your successes this week! So neat to have a weekly goal in mind and meet them!
ReplyDeleteYou are staying so motivated, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so great! I wish I had your willpower and energy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, I love avocados thanks for keep me motivated.
ReplyDeleteI love that you have weekly goals. I need to start doing that. I started going to the gym one month ago, but choosing healthy food that I can afford is really difficult!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great!!! 15K steps is a lot!! Out of curiosity, do find it easy to stay in Keto?
ReplyDeleteThank you! It has been the easiest diet I have been on. I am never hungry and enjoy the foods I can eat. When I have a craving for something carby I look for a keto version of it and it satisfies by cravings.
DeleteMaking the switch over to meats that are steroid-, hormone-, and antibiotic-free is such a great step. Good for you! I'm going to have to look into uncured bacon. My husband was diagnosed with high blood pressure this year and has been on a low sodium diet ever since, but he misses bacon. I think it's worth a try!
ReplyDeleteI get my uncured bacon at Aldi's. When I used to eat regular bacon it made me sick will all of the sodium. Now I can enjoy a few slices without any problems :)
