Swimming again

This morning, I ran 8 miles and then swam 900 yds. My energy levels are up and I'm feeling much better. My weight this morning is 158.6. I'm happy with this weight because next week I will start my period. Usually the week before I gain so im hopeful. 

Did eat off plan a little- Thursday night at book club and Friday afternoon. Those darn pies and oreos!

Thyroid Support Medication

Today I started Thyroid Support meds. I will check back in 2 weeks to see if I've lost any weight and how my energy levels are. 

Today- 158.6

Going strong on 3 days 100% on plan.

Also decided to sign up for a Triathlon on post. This morning I swam laps. 425 yards in 14 minutes. I'm going to try and go at least once a week until after Rock the Parkway and then twice a week. Trista is letting me borrow her bike. :-)

30 Day Challenge

I was 100% on plan yesterday (day 1). I shall continue the same. Yes!

Let's Eat!  (THM Stubborn Loser's Menu)

Day 

Breakfast (FP)-- 8:00 am 

Chia Pudding with strawberries.  It was actually pretty good.  I liked the strawberries, but I wished I had added a bit more sweetener.  Next time I'll add more.  I added 1 teaspoon of Super Sweet.  

Morning Snack (E)-- 10:00 am

I love this snack!  Two pieces of sprouted bread, toasted, with 1 wedge of Laughing Cow Light Swiss, and Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning.  I love bread.
I didn't really get to eat this at the right time, though.  I should have had the pudding in the car, and then eaten the toast at 930.

Lunch (E)-- 11:40 am

Loaded Fotato Soup, side salad with yellow peppers, grape tomatoes, 2 Tbsp Light Balsamic Vinaigrette, sweet peppers, and 1 piece of Sprouted toast

Afternoon Snack (E)-- 3:00 pm

Good ol' apple

Dinner (S)-- 5:30 pm

Chicken and veggie wraps with a low carb tortilla

Let's Eat!  (THM Stubborn Loser's Menu)

Day 2

Breakfast (FP)-- 7:00 am (end)

Fat Striping Frappe (FP), hot tea (which I only drank half of and it's currently sitting in the car because I forgot to bring it inside).  Also this took me about 20 minutes to consume.  A COLD drink on the coldest week of the year.  I am so cold!  (eat again at 9:00-9:30ish)

Morning Snack (FP)-- 9:40

This Peanut Power Pudding is disgusting. Gross! I attempted to eat half of it. 

 Lunch (E)-- 11:40

THM Pancakes, 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, strawberries and blueberries, sweet peppers

 Afternoon Snack (FP)-- 3:00

2 Light rye wasa crackers, 1 wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, chocolate almond milk (protein powder)

 Dinner (E)-- Mismashed.

When I got home, I felt like poop.  I got really tired all of the sudden and felt weak.  I layed down for about an hour.  After that, I didn't feel like eating the salad I had planned. 
I ate 2 brown sugar pop tarts, chips and salsa, and then made myself a healthy sandwhich with popcorn.  So besides the chips and salsa and poptart, it was an E.  It was not what I had planned though.

1/27/19 Dinner

Off plan, somewhat.  Dinner with the Schales. I am allowing myself to cheat one meal per week. I do this because I don't want to be rude to my parents. 

Tonight we had brisket, green bean casserole, fried (baked) potatoes, red peppers, cucumbers, and rolls. 

I made good decisions in that I only had one little scoop of green Bean casserole. While I am aware that its vegetables, it contains off plan ingredients. I ate a big serving of the peppers and cucumbers and only one roll. 

I made the cookie dough cheesecake (THM S) and it was amazing! Sugar free, low carb and beautiful!  I forgot to take a picture, but I will when I eat another piece. 

Everything is prepped and ready for tomorrow. I'm going to be on plan and happy all day!

Continuation, as always

I haven't looked at this blog in 7 years.  I had to really search to see what the date was- 2012!  And here it is, 2019.  So much has changed!  My eating lifestyle, and my fitness level has changed dramatically!  I'm looking at the weigh in section of this blog I started so many years ago, and that hasn't changed.  At all.

I have to give myself some credit.  Since 2012, I have had another baby (but he's five now, so not a baby anymore!).  I also weighed the most I've ever weighed about 2 years after I had Maverick.  Therefore, my numbers have changed a little bit since then. 

My heaviest weight is 186 (October 6, 2014).  I started keeping a log on MyFitnessPal, on and off.  I switched over to FitBit once I started wearing one.  Now I kind of go back and forth.

One thing I've wanted to try is to blog my food better.  I've started Trim Healthy Mama (about 3 years ago) and the weight started to really come off.  Now I've been stuck for almost a solid year.  My best friend has seen some great progress since the new year, and I don't want to be left in the dust! 

So, I would like to keep a good record of my food and fitness, using this blog "A Quest to Comfortable".  It seems still relevant today.

So here it goes!
