Gratitudes: A nice front yard, We planted flowers and weeded yesterday. It looks very nice! April, it's almost over, but I love the weather, the flowers that bloom, the rain! Sprinkler systems. I'm so glad I don't have to water by hand!
Intentions for the day: Exercise, plan menus, run errands
I
am 34 inches thinner from my bust/waist and hips and a size 8's
measurements of 36/28/38 on October 7, 2015. I am following the
trainers workout and food plans drink 64 oz of
water a day and getting 8 hours of sleep every night.
I track this
by completing my measurements every 4 weeks and weighing in weekly. My
expectation is to see a decrease of approximately 5 inches per month.
Morning Blood Sugar: 98, nice!!
It's Been a long journey to get to where I am. Sometimes it feels like I start and stop and start again. Revisiting things I have done, said I would do, know and haven't done. So to get out of this rut of starting and stopping again, I am revitalizing this blog and creating a Knowledgebase. A place to learn from my life experiments and remember what I set out to do. Building upon the knowledge I had before. Always learning and always improving

Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins
I came across this recipe on the plan to eat blog. It looked great! Especially since my kids love chocolate chip pancakes. I was sure they would love these ones. I changed it up to be mini muffins and to include half whole wheat flour. The rest is mostly the same. YUM! The kids did love them!

8 pm: Went to costco...picked up a watermelon. I ate a bunch of it and a small piece of cheesecake. Chocolate craving gone. ;)
Water intake: 64 oz
Daily Wins: Kitchen is clean! Had a good talk with my son's dr.
I am realizing how much I need to clean up his diet and give him more good food to eat. Struggling with that realization as well, as I will need to put a lot more effort into it. I know what I need to do. Now to do it. Like with most things action is my difficulty. But it only takes one step at a time!
I am 2 lbs lighter each week and am 30 lbs lighter on 6/15/15. (From 198 to 168) I am completing my daily trainer workouts, planning my meals, eating as I am hungry and listening to my fullness cues. I get in 10000 steps 6 times a week. I measure my progress with Sunday Morning weigh ins and document it on my blog. I stick to a regular bedtime and only be on the computer/electronics with a timer. My aim is to feel energetic and strong. Feeling good in my own skin.

Dinner. Grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup. The rest of the angel food cake
Snack: m&m's, a Popsicle. Milk. Milk has really hit the spot for me today. I made brownies and had a few crumbs. It wasn't tasting as good anymore.
I have been reading the book: The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. It has been very interesting. Not only does she take you through de-cluttering, but she talks about why and how. It has made me quite motivated to go through my house and start to organize and get rid of things. I know I can use it. The house can use it. My hubby would be ecstatic. Time for action.

Today has been an odd day. I stayed up late last night watching The Good Wife. Not the best show, but I got into it. Hubby who has a more discerning taste in TV says the writing is horrible. I don't mind it though.

Eggs for breakfast around 10ish
a gooey bar
1:30, leftover cafe rio pork, cheese and beans.
Chocolate
Wings, pasta, from dominos. cake
strawberry shortcake.
My bedroom is almost 100% clean, and the back of my car is full of the give away stuff. Crazy!
I've been craving a lot of chocolate lately. Must need more sleep. ;)

Smoked Salmon
I was hoping I could find a picture of it. I may have to take a quick one of the leftovers. It doesn't last very long around our house! We have a Traeger Pellet Grill (smoker) that is amazing. Perhaps our most favorite thing we do is the Smoked Salmon. I get Salmon from Costco, attempting to find it the day it is packaged for freshest flavor. We brine it and then it smokes for about 4 hours. Here's the recipe! It is good all by itself or we were just talking tonight about making fish tacos with it. Leftovers are great on a salad!
Smoked Cajun Salmon
1/3 cup minus 2 Tablespoons Salt
1/3 cup plus 2 Tablespoons Sugar
4 cups water.
One Large Salmon fillet bones and skin removed
Cajun Spice (we prefer penzeys)
Mix water, sugar and salt in a ziplock bag until mostly dissolved. Add Salmon. Zip tight letting all the air out so the brine mixture is completely covering the salmon. Add more water if necessary. Refrigerate overnight. 4 hours before desired meal time, start the smoker on smoke. Allow to heat up. Remove salmon from brine (discard liquid) and place on the grill dusting with copious amounts of cajun spice over the top. We like it to be really covered. Allow to smoke for 3 hours. At the last hour turn up heat to Medium or high and allow to cook until the fish flakes easily. We usually push on it and if it comes apart it is done. Take off grill and enjoy!

Healthy Journey Day 147
Gratitudes: Costco, Beautiful Flowers, nice weather
Intentions for the day: Clean kitchen
I am 34 inches thinner from my bust/waist and hips and a size 8's measurements of 36/28/38 on October 7, 2015. I am following the trainers workout and food plans drink 64 oz of water a day and getting 8 hours of sleep every night.
I track this by completing my measurements every 4 weeks and weighing in weekly. My expectation is to see a decrease of approximately 5 inches per month.
Morning Blood Sugar: 102
Exercise: Treadmill for 15 min, misc weights. 8lbs. Taking it easy today in anticipation of my trainer kicking my butt tomorrow.
Breakfast:
Time: 8
Hunger Level *:
Ate: toast with peanut butter and jam
Comments:
Snack:
Time: 10:30
Hunger Level*:
Ate: orange, scoop cake.
Comments: yum! for the orange. The cake cause it was there. Not exactly my favorite...so why do I still eat it when it doesn't taste so good. Something to think about.
Lunch:
Time:1:00
Hunger Level*:
Ate: nachos...lunchable style
Comments: Out running errands and got hungry. Yet again not the tastiest.
Snack:
Time:3 pm
Hunger Level*:
Ate: pizza, watermelon and cake
Comments: Rather a late lunch!
Dinner:
Time:7 pm
Hunger Level*:
Ate: philadelphian- super phili burger, yum!
Comments: I wasn't starving by any means, but it sure tasted good!
Water intake: 40---really need to work on my intake again
Daily Wins: shopping complete, laundry folded, exercise. Started listening to a book on tape: Essentialism. Very fascinating. I am certainly feeling that I am overwhelmed with too much...this book talks about backing off and saying no to the things that are not priority. (Note the 1 priority, all to often we think that we can have more than one. It doesn't happen)
I am 2 lbs lighter each week and am 30 lbs lighter on 6/15/15. (From 198 to 168) I am completing my daily trainer workouts, planning my meals, eating as I am hungry and listening to my fullness cues. I get in 10000 steps 6 times a week. I measure my progress with Sunday Morning weigh ins and document it on my blog. I stick to a regular bedtime and only be on the computer/electronics with a timer. My aim is to feel energetic and strong. Feeling good in my own skin.

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level. Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating. If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry. If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating." Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.

My Stitch Fix
Yesterday I received my second Stitch Fix order. It is just like Christmas to have it show up on my doorstep. I was so excited!
My son helped me open up the package. I think he was as excited as I was. Inside was a shirt, green pants, a silver necklace, a blue dress and a grey jacket.
I love everything. Even though I am not usually an olive green pant purchaser, I actually liked it once it was on. The dress I had to think long and hard on. Usually the stretchy dress is one that I avoid as it shows every bump and bulge. I really liked it with the jacket on however. It's length was just perfect as well!

I am 2 lbs lighter each week and am 30 lbs lighter on 6/15/15. (From 198 to 168) I am completing my daily trainer workouts, planning my meals, eating as I am hungry and listening to my fullness cues. I get in 10000 steps 6 times a week. I measure my progress with Sunday Morning weigh ins and document it on my blog. I stick to a regular bedtime and only be on the computer/electronics with a timer. My aim is to feel energetic and strong. Feeling good in my own skin.

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level. Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating. If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry. If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating." Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.

Healthy Journey Day 138
It is Fast Sunday today, so with everything being different I am not using my template.
Weigh in: 196.6 I am glad that my weight doesn't effect my psyche any more. It has been a long journey to get it there. I stopped weighing for over a year, and then told myself when I started again that "I am who I am, no Shame, No Guilt, No judgement". The scale only tells me my relationship to gravity. No more, no less. It doesn't tell me how much I ate, or exercised. It is only one measurement of many in how my journey is progressing. This measurement isn't too accurate either considering I can drink a lot or eat to much salt and totally skew the results.
Morning Blood Sugar: 99 I actually took this around 10:50 am, It was a rocky night. I had a lot on my mind and dreamed about it all then couldn't sleep.
Intake: 6:00 pm, two garlic rolls, a hamburger, a few chips, strawberries with "dip" (I mix greek yogurt and brown sugar together. Yum!) Ice cream.
Today I have been working on my communication skills. I was up part of the night working through things in my head and spent much of the evening talking to my hubby. It is good to feel listened to, and conversed with. The message from the bishopric today talked about communication cancer. Which is personal isolation where we feel alone and isolated in our opinions thoughts and feelings. Maybe even become a victim of those thoughts and feelings. I have found myself in that place before. Thinking I knew what the other person was thinking and having unvoiced expectations dashed. Expectations can not be met if they are not voiced. It is really easy to feel a victim if we do not share or talk things out. I once talked to my husband about how I felt our relationship was strained when I was only having one dessert a week. He responded that he never felt that and I realized that it was all in my head. I created the reasons and excuses, they were not reality.
So today I am working to get out of my head and into conversation. Out of playing victim because I wanted something that I did not ask for. Out of being silently indignant. No more hiding my emotions and eating my feelings. IT is OK to share and feel. It is OK to talk it out. It is only through talking and listening that we become closer to those we talk with and care for. Listening might actually be more important than talking sometimes. That would be an entirely different post though.

Day 100, the challenge ends
Day 100 is apparently today. I obviously lost count somewhere in there. Yesterday I started looking at all my past posts. My plan was to do a synopsis. That didn't happen. But I did find myself getting motivated. I wish I talked to myself that way all the time! It feels good!
I did not achieve the goals I had wished to over the last 100 days. Part of me wonders if I just expect to not achieve them any more. It has been a learning experience though. I have started working with the trainer. My weight has not decreased but I am noticing my strength increasing. My measurements today were decreasing around my waist and hips and increased around my arms and legs. That is telling me that I am creating muscle. This is only going to work in my favor. So although I didn't achieve my big goal, I have made great changes that are allowing me to make progress. I am not stagnant, I am not going backwards, I am moving forward and with that I will have no doubt of reaching success! So here is to the next 100 days! May I have even more success with them.

The power of consistency (Day 90 something, I won't be counting dates much longer!)
I was listening to the Best Life Ever CD today and Darren Hardy started talking about the power of consistency. How creating habits and completing them bring success. This thought has been on my mind a bit because I have been contemplating my success over the first 3 months of this year. Mind you I have had better days. The sickness got to me. The question I had posed to myself this weekend was whether in order to be successful, one needed to complete the habits that they decided upon even when sick or having a bad day.

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level. Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating. If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry. If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating." Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
