Day 6 (AG): Positive

 


🖤 Get well soon Tommy ! #teamrivs #RageOn 🖤



"Think positive, be positive and

positive things will happen."





It's day 6 AG (after goal) and day 938 of Nutrisystem ! After a few days of sliding back into self-doubt I pulled myself out of that negativity and refocused on thinking positive thoughts. I had it in me to lose 158 pounds, so I most certainly have it in me to keep it off. It's all about choices now. I can fall back into living in fear or I can rejoice in where I am and resolve to stay here. It's really pretty simple and an easy choice. I choose positivity ! I WILL keep the weight off. I WILL stay fit. I WILL stay out of debt. I WILL I WILL I WILL ... and I will write that 1000 times if that is what it takes for it to sink in ! My problem is I've forgotten how to be happy so I'm not really sure how to go about it. I always find something to criticize myself for and I'm always waiting for something bad to happen. It's not an every day thing but it's something I wish I could eliminate from my life. Perhaps with time ?


Breakfast was a pancakes with sugar free syrup and a lemon meringue yogurt. Morning snack was a chocolate shake with peanut butter powder. Lunch was a pepperoni pizza melt and a chef salad. Afternoon snack was 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 2 Alyssa's oatmeal cookies. In honor of National Lasagna Day dinner was lasagna with roasted veggies. Evening snack was toffee crunch cookies. My breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening snack were all Nutrisystem products. 


My workout day started in the South of France with iFit trainer Alex Gregory. I did this workout "as programmed" in order to get some incline work. Next up was Portland, Oregon with iFit trainer Knox Robinson. I used my own custom endurance settings for this one. I ended the day with a walk around Oslo, Norway with iFit guide Helene De Mora. I used my own settings here too, 1 minute intervals at 3.5 mph and 1 minute rests at 2.5 mph - all at 4% incline. All the trainers say you need to change up your workouts instead of doing the same thing every day so today I did endurance, incline and intervals ! I logged 79 minutes, 3.9 miles and 482 calories. I skipped the Total Gym and Fitbit says I did over 12,000 steps.





I spent the day working on the front porch and got a ton of work done before training started at 1 pm. It was cold and rainy much of the day, we didn't even hit 70 degrees. Not exactly what you expect at the end of July ! The weather doesn't look to be any better tomorrow. On that note it's about time for a shower and bed because the evening snack monster is stirring and I am not giving in !

                                                                                                🖤  Get well soon Tommy ! #teamrivs #RageOn 🖤 “For me Monday represents a fresh  start to the week. It is the day  where the slate from the previous  week is wiped clean. It is a day  of   new beginnings . ”  ~Allen Smith ~   It's day 662 of Nutrisystem. I used to spend my Sunday's dreading Monday but somewhere along this 662 day journey that stopped. I look forward to Monday now for all the reasons contained in this quote. The past 7 days are gone and a brand new set of 7 days are in front of me. I'm still working on discipline and consistency and every new week is another chance to achieve that. I've talked be...

Day 43: Peace Is A Journey

“Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.” ~Lyndon B. Johnson~ Wise words from LBJ. I find the “one step at a time” approach works best for me in almost every aspect of my life. If I try to focus on too many things at once I get overwhelmed and it paralyzes me. As I’ve said before, the fire forced me to deal with a lot I hadn’t wanted to face, but I think I was able to do that only because my home was in someone else’s hands for 9 months and the house I got back was completely redone. For the first time in my adult life I felt like someone else was taking care of me. For those 9 months I only had to worry about myself – not a house that was falling down around me. I’m not sure where I’d be today if not for that fire. How many people can look at a fire as something that changed their life for the better ? I’m still pretty sure Tigger caused the fire but I also think there was some Divine Intervention. I personally think it saved my life and I...

Day 21: Looking To The Future

Day 21 ! Hard to believe it’s already been 3 weeks on Nutrisystem. It hasn’t been as hard as I thought it might be. I’ve still got a lot of work to do but I feel like this is going to be the life change that I needed. Breakfast today was a 2.8 ounce 160 calorie package of pancakes. I toasted them at home, spread one with peanut butter and made a sandwich out of them. I wrapped that in a paper towel and put it in a ziploc bag to bring to work. After I made my coffee I threw the bag in the microwave for about 25 seconds. Score ! The pancakes were light and fluffy and the peanut butter was slightly melted. I will do the same with waffles going forward. My morning snack was the usual shake. Lunch today was a 3.8 ounce 200 calorie grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist and tender and had a nice flavor. The bun it was on had a sweetness to it that I could have done without. The next time I have this item I will add a bit of barbecue sauce and some raw onion or cabbage. I’ve been ...
