From Ginormous to Glorious

Update: 2 weeks in and down another 2 pounds. A total of 7.6 pounds gone. 🎊

This week was hard. Major hard! Not gonna lie. I didn't get on the treadmill once because I got so wrapped up in everything else going on around me. My friend Darlene reminded me that I will have to make time for it. Schedule it and don't back out. I'm going to make that a priority this week to schedule in some treadmill time.

I definitely ate things that weren't on my plan this week. Cupcakes that I know weren't vegan. Meat with the family a couple times thus week. Even though the scale shows a loss, I don't feel as good. My knees ache again. I feel sluggish. And it's my own doing. I made the wrong choices.

This week is back to basics. Make the right choices each and every meal. Don't just grab what the family is having. Set the example.

Here's to a much more on plan and active week this week!

I didn't screw this one up! 🤣🤣🤣

Mango, spinach, banana, orange juice, rice milk, and Orgain vanilla protein powder!

Today's breakfast is avocado toast on Ezekiel bread and fresh fruit with a glass of ice water! 🍒🍓🍍🥑

So...day 1 on the treadmill. Wow, I am horrifically out of shape! I only managed 20 minutes 😱. Still, it's a start. Let's see if I can put in another 20 this evening.

I know this will get easier over time.

So the living room had a little transformation today! We bought a treadmill! Even the kids are excited! So now I can walk and jog in the house and not have to worry about bad weather or getting too hot outside! 😁

If Popeye had a blender, he'd have sung, "I'm strong to the finish cause I drink me spinach!" This morning's smoothie is baby spinach, apple, passionfruit juice, banana, and rice milk! Plus my morning's supplements of B12 and Juice Plus+!

Today is going to be a busy day. Got a visit to the chiropractor and the float spa planned. Today is a "pamper me" day, and I need it. Then I need to do my invoicing from my huge kids bling live on Wednesday.

I've been peeking at the scale cause that's what I do. But I'll post an official weekly weigh in update on Tuesday. The number is smaller though which is awesome!

I'm on a hunt for a good quality used treadmill. Hoping to spend less than $200, but I want something in good condition. I'd found one up in Marietta. The lady said it was available, and then took the listing off Marketplace. 🙄 So the search continues.

Starting the day off healthy! Ezekiel bread toasted and topped with avocado spread and a smoothie with banana, mango, passionfruit, and rice milk! 😋🥑🥭🍌And of course my Juice Plus+ supplement and a B12!

I'm trying to figure out a way to fit in some sort of exercise today. Might do a walk at home workout or something like that. I have to figure out how to fit in some sort of exercise.

Taken yesterday for a starting point.

Well, I really enjoyed my call with Coach Bobby from Jacked Vegans. However, I just can't afford $916 a month. So, rather than throw in the towel, I will have to do this solo. That's okay. I proved to myself in 2006 that I could do it solo. And I will again, without stumbling over a cheeseburger as a reward this time.

So, this is my new journey to health. Doing this with a vegan diet, at home workouts, and turning my health around!

Tonight's dinner is homemade lentil stew! Lentils, dark red kidney beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, vegetable broth, black beans, seasonings, tomato sauce, and fresh kale.
