Monday morning and time for you to gain knowledge of my stats and see some skin.
Let's start by saying, last week I was motivated to reinvigorate the health and fitness group because I stepped on the scale and was aghast to see it blaring with the number 123.6! That's a big number I hope never to see again, albeit an after dinner weigh-in rather than my usual morning stat. Fortunately the next morning I had diminished to 121.6 lbs. Regardless, it's much heftier than I am comfortable with, so the journey begins.
Today the scale read: 120.0
As promised, you will get Monday photo shots to put a body to that number. This time, no matter what my weight, I will attempt to look and feel my best. This chapter's photo shots are themed "Celebration in Size". That being said, here is my plus model picture...
"Celebration in Size: Big Is Beautiful"
Okay so let's try to be positive here. As usual, the unsightliest congregation is in the stomach. Also in my thighs, which are not highlighted in this shot, but you can take my word for it. And my other concern would be under the chin, also not featured today :)
So... this past week I did absolutely no exercise. I sat at home in front of the computer as usual, and the most exercise I got was walking to Hiroko's house from the car. HAHA! But the good news is that I have adjusted pretty well to my healthy eating regiment. Monday through Thursday are the best, and the weekends kind of slide down hill with carbs and extra snacking etc. I will continue to eat healthy on weekdays, and also try to limit more extravagant eats to either JUST Friday or preferably JUST Saturday.
This coming week, I will not do any exercise. It's going to be a challenge, as tomorrow I got to USC with my mom and am meeting Angelica for lunch at a gastro pub. And then Friday-Sunday I will be in Del Mar with friends for my 32nd birthday celebration. Yay! My goal for this week is to maintain 120. And then light exercise will start next Monday.
Other good news, also discovered this morning/noontime was a birthday package from Hiroko...
Yay! The microwavable rice cooker is a replacement for my broken one. Although I will not be cooking too much rice these days, it can also be used for meat and veggies. Convenient. With the jug I can drink even more water, but with exciting flavors! My first infusion, using lemons from my tree, is chilling in the fridge....
The fruit can remain 7-10 days, so maybe I will make a tradition of changing it out every Monday. Wonder what will be next week's delight!
More health coming up this week. Tomorrow my mom and I ride the Amtrak to Union Station and catch a USC shuttle to the dentistry school where she has work done continually. It will be our first time taking the train, so I am accompanying her to help figure out the route. We should be gone most of the day, 10am to 6pm most likely.
Then Biggy and Happy get healthy on Wednesday, with dental work from the vet! Biggy gets his cleaning, while Happy (my mom's cat) goes for his pre-dental exam and possibly gets a cleaning as well if he needs it. Zoe did not need cleaning, but last night I brushed her teeth with cat toothpaste for the first time. No, she did not like it but it wasn't too bad. It's supposed to be a daily ritual, but I think once a week will suffice.
The cats are also doing better on their transition to healthy eating. They get less hard food. They are not getting any junk food (fancy feast etc), and I have found an organic canned variety they are eating, at least for the moment. Good boy and girl!
Oh and so you know, these new photos are not from the camera I got last time. I need to buy a memory card, most likely tonight. Along with more bananas.
Thanks for reading, that's all I have to say for now!
