Weight loss has stalled on me recently. I was continuing to slowly lose inches but the number on the scale was not budging. My trainer cut my calories to jump-start my weight loss again and it worked!!! I jumped on the scale this morning as part of my daily weigh-in and I’m down 2 pounds…
It’s September and summer is over and it’s time to get back into routines. I have struggled a bit with planning my meals and nutrition this week because of the long weekend. I have remained consistent with my workouts, getting daily walks in to hit my 10K step goal, which i’m currently working on a…
I woke up one morning last week at 3:30 AM with a migraine. I had every intention of going to the gym at 5:45 AM this morning, but the migraine was leaving me feeling like garbage so I decided to take some ibuprofen and go back to sleep for a few more hours. This meant…
I’ve successfully hit my workout goal of 5 workouts a week for the last 2 weeks. I started Lift More on BODi last Monday and it reminded me what I love about lifting the short term pain for long term gain. It’s too early in the 8 week program to see results but I’m feeling…
I have been tracking my weight daily for the past 5 weeks. I’ve been doing it as a way to collect data on my weight loss journey, and as a way to have a healthier relationship with the scale. The scale used to be my number 1 arch enemy. I would eat great and workout…
This past week has been an emotional and frustrating week. Things at work went in the opposite direction than what I was expecting/told would happen and it upset me to no end. I slept maybe 5 hours, on and off, the night before this big announcement and had the same sleep the night of the…
The struggle is real! I have lost count how many times I’ve had to re-start my fitness journey in 2023 and we are only a quarter if the way in! With a busy winter of intense hockey schedule, stressful and time consuming job and the rotating of poor sleep because of said job’s stresses, I…
It’s been a challenging last 30ish days. I’m as busy as I was at work prior to the holidays, if not more and my home life is busier than ever while we gear up for house league hockey playoffs. My work schedule has been all over the place the last month too with extra 6am…
I have been struggling big time with staying motivated to continue my journey the last 6 weeks. If my trainer cancels a weekly session with me, which he’s done quite a bit these last few weeks due to personal reasons, I tend to only make it to the gym up to 2 times that week….
I was travelling last week for work. The last time I travelled I had no access to a gym on the first leg of the trip and found the gym too late on the last leg of the trip. I was doing a lot of walking the whole trip and eating mediocre but still managed…
