(I think its basically one person reading this nonsense), but that's okay. Hopefully this blog makes sense, I'm feeling a little high from a breathing treatment. Thanks to someone at work who sprays aerosols and agitates the bugs in my lungs, called asthma.
Well, the world has slowly reopened. My gym opened on Saturday, and I have been there every day since, except Sunday. Even though I identify myself as agnostic now, some of the LDS things, I just can't seem to shake.
Gym update: I've been branching out and trying new machines. I think I have tried every machine in the Women's Gym. Oh, and a super proud moment. I got on the stair climbers, twice this week! When I had my accident in 2018 when I fell off the stupid ladder at Target. I can't climb 20 flights on the stupid machine, but I can do a few.
Okay, So I have read that telling people your workouts are annoying, so we are going to get to the diet portion of this. I ordered my stuff on June 1st. It arrived yesterday. 2 of the shakes did anyway. I also ordered a 9 dollar sample box the day after, I guess it should be here on Tuesday. I never got any shipment updates from the box that I got yesterday, which made me already have a bad taste in my mouth. When I looked at my order to see a tracking update, it would say that they couldn't locate my order. Ah well. It's here now. Oh, someone should ask me what's so ironic about this company??? Okay, since a blog is a monologue, I will tell you.... there's a call center for this company here in Vegas.... right down the street from one of my jobs (RMH!).
Anyway, I'm off topic again (maybe thats just my style!). I wanted to start the program today, but it's the anniversary of Dean's Dad's graduation from mortality, we are going out to eat in remembrance of him. So, I postponed it one day. I don't want to start the diet on failure day.
Okay, so let's get to the ingredients of this... who wants to know something? I'm an idiot. I didn't look at the ingredients (I didn't want whey or soy after my medifast stunt)... this has hemp powder. Apparently it's the cousin of marijuana. I guess that might explain that there virtually no LDS people I found on the program. I'm in the facebook group of 310, and I asked a question regarding LDS diet restrictions regarding this program and asked for an LDS identified person to answer. I only got one. I asked if they take the supplements. When I looked at the supplements for those, they contained coffee and tea extracts, so I'm wondering if they are in line with the LDS advisement against tee and coffee.
So, the diet suggest one or 2 meal replacement shakes each day, but here is the kicker, you can add anything you want to them (fruits, veggies, peanut butter, booze, etc), you just have to chart your intakes. I'm considering doing three shakes a day, with just fruit and veggies added; I'm not sure how that will play out though. You can have one "sensible meal" a day too. Basically, more protein, veggies and fruit, and not pasta.
Okay, I super duper want a an apple watch (the cheaper 200 buck one). I was going to get one the past week, but then I realized that I might get super lucky, and they might go on Sale next week for Father's day. I was going to buy one off of amazon, but amazon warehouse literally went up in flames, and I'd kinda rather buy new sparkly one, and not one that might be refurbished. I'm impatiently waiting for Target's Fathers day add to be out.
I've never publicly share all my stats, but what the heck, why not.
Stats: Starting Weight 255.
Bust Inches: 47
waist 49
hips 54
First Small Goal: 235, then 210, then under 200. I'd like to be Under 200 by Halloween; I don't know if I can lose weight as fast as I did on medifast though.
Final Goal weight: 155.
Damn. Those stats are taunting. Do I have the willpower???
I think I'm going to check in on Mondays, it just appears I work 14 hours tomorrow, so I that won't be happening, so this is my first check in. My supplies arrived yesterday, tonight technically starts my Monday, so the train is leaving the station! At 9:30pm, tonight (by normal "breakfast" time).
Oh, and just for pure entertainment purposes, here are some photos.
Yay for trying new equipment. Even if you can’t do very much, it builds muscle and strength to do some.
ReplyDeleteI personally don’t do anything with coffee or tea extracts in it as it makes me feel like I’m going against the word of wisdom. However, I know LDS people that don’t have a problem with extracts (cooking with alcohols, hemp and cbd products, etc) cause they see it as using it in a different manner.
I use an egg based protein powder to avoid whey and soy.
It is safe to lose 2lbs per week. So to get under 200 safely, should take about 28 weeks and be right before Christmas to hit your under 200 goal. I recommend setting some non-weight goals too such as endurance on a treadmill or machine, amount of weight lifted, etc. also find a pair of pants that you loved and used to wear and make those goal jeans - and use those as another measuring tool. Sometimes the scale won’t move, but your other goals will help you stay on track.
Oh and feel free to share your workouts, I don’t mind seeing those either :)
