Mandy Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Is this a good idea? The day before Thanksgiving? 🤔 Publicly? No idea!!! Probably super boring for others to read but let's see what happens if I publicly record what I eat, drink and do for exercise and cleaning for 30 days. I've tried food diarying (totally a word) on paper and always gave up really quickly. I would love to weigh and stay 5 pounds less, maintain or continue to build strength. Also think this would be great to refer back to workouts better because I only have a handful I really know well and forget fast what the others are like. Glass of water with thyroid meds, one 10 min Pam workout. This one was really good, want to do it again a lot, love the mix of exercises, challenging but not super painful, would like to do again I couldn't do the one arm, one leg planks for the whole 30 seconds today though and the rocking ab workout threw me for a minute. Ab hold still a challenge to hold correctly for 30 seconds. 7AM One scoop 150 cal Garden of Life chocolate meal in a glass of water. 9:40AM one scoop 90 cal vanilla sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water 10:10 Licorice tea 11:00 1/4 cup oatmeal 95 cal with half cup wild blueberries 40 cal 12:00 leftover vegetable soup and leftover wild rice and lentils and lemon balm tea Definitely don't feel like eating weird or excessive stuff cause I'll have to record it. 😂 Exercise: Trail run with dogs in snow/rain grapes, pumpkin seeds and banana, vit d gummies, and apple squash with vegan butter and lemon juice, roasted baby potatoes w/ oil, homemade veggie/leek soup w/o oil BANANA Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it, I'd love to have company! On the flip side it helps noticing when you're focusing on what people are thinking. This might get really weird before 30 days is up, but so far it's keeping me more... intentional? 24 hours in. 😂 I haven't gotten into the kid's Halloween candy again yet at least. I don't usually does sauces because mostly it's extra effort and most sauces are full of oils and salts anyway, I usually steam stuff or do soups when I go without oil, or I put lemon juice on stuff.

Mandy Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Eh... kinda fun, good workout, steady cardio, not much challenging HITT stuff. OK. Phew. Music is awesome, will work up to this one. Couldn't do the starfish thing the whole way through, had to modify then got out of breath and had to pause in a few exercises after that one. Great one to repeat for a challenge. Want to improve with side plank, leg extended ab hold, leg raises, not nearly yet keeping up with Pam there. 😕 Woke up with more energy, probably because less refined sugar and flours, mood was less than stellar after meditation, workout shifted it. Nice chest opening buzz kinda thing. Thanksgiving was postponed because my FIL got covid, so I'm working today and eating whatever. 6:30 16 ounce lemon water 7:20 16 ounce celery juice 8:10 Heavy metal detox smoothie Did the medical medium morning basically because I had stuff to use up. It leaves you with a metric shit ton of things to wash, and feeling almost too relaxed except for the way the kitchen looks, which is not relaxing. 🤷♀️ 10:00 Apple 11:00 1/4 cup oatmeal 95 cal with half cup wild blueberries 40 cal and licorice tea, vit d gummies 12:30 squash with vegan butter, veggie soup, cocoa in hot water with almond milk Exercise: 1 mile walk with kids 2:30 One scoop 150 cal Garden of Life chocolate meal in a glass of water and one scoop 90 cal vanilla sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water Exercise: hike with dogs grapes Gluten free dairy free apple crisp and almond milk, squash with vegan butter, veggie soup and more apple crisp. 🙂 cup of moringa and cup of nettle tea BANANA Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 @noomii No, thanks for sharing though! I usually get no more than 20 minutes before the kids have to get ready for school and if I do have time I'm usually just done after that so I usually shy away from the longer timed workout channels. 😂 I should try to fit in some longer workouts and see how I do though. I'll try one of her's soon, thanks! Pretty good intensity, fun, no intense mountain climbers or high knees. Mostly squats, includes squat jumps and weighted squats. Weight 129 lbs One scoop 150 cal Garden of Life chocolate meal in a glass of water and one scoop 90 cal vanilla sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water Oatmeal and frozen wild blueberries, left over apple crisp and banana, HUNGRY Can of sardines with mustard and veggie soup banana and licorice tea Exercise: Trail walk/run with dogs grapes, banana, pineapple apple, arugula, zucchini cooked in a little avocado oil, water, and coconut aminos, Brussel sprouts and oatmilk "butter" another apple I don't know how to explain, this has changed the whole thought narrative. I like to think things about myself and how I am and what I need that sort of gloss over what's wanted. 😬THEME of the day.

Mandy Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Need to work up to the side planks. I've got about 40 seconds in me. 😄 128.6 lbs. Last night I had trouble sleeping because I was hungry, which is annoying. By trouble sleeping I mean it took probably 5 or 10 extra minutes cause normally I'm out. Chocolate GOL meal powder in a glass of water and sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water. Oatmeal and wild blueberries vitamin d gummies Apple and a mejool date Thanksgiving meal at inlaws, squash, peas, carrots, mashed potato, all with real butter, I guess whoooo knows? oh well, couple green stuffed olives Two mejool dates Orange in the McDonald's parking lot.

Mandy Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Nice both arms and core workout 3 miles-ish run in cold on pavement. Mittens too warm, I dunno what to wear on my hands. First part of the run was gorgeous, return trip I seem to hit a point that's a bit of a slog and work out of it. It's sort of a weird route because of the places you can see ahead and the perception of how far home is. It's like the whole thing switches from just running into the sun on a badass adventure that gets prettier and more remote as you go, to just running back. 🤷♀️Temp regulation is weird, I feel cold and sweating overheating at the same time. I don't know if an extra wool base layer instead of the fleece pullover would fix it? 🤔 Oh the temptation to gird ourselves in plastic products. It seems both so smart and so dumb. 127.2 lbs One scoop 150 cal Garden of Life chocolate meal in a glass of water and one scoop 90 cal vanilla sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water Roasted dandelion tea Really good energy!🙂 Chrysanthemum tea Gala apple, 1/4 cup oatmeal and wild blueberries Amy's Chinese noodles and veggies frozen meal 420 calories.

Mandy Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Overall pretty good as a workout butt I messed this up thought I was mirroring Pam, but I dunno what happened, and did the exercises on the same side twice, and tried to even it up after. 😂 Why am I not 5'9 and blonde yet? 🤔 Day 6 128.6 lbs 🤷♀️ Sore, day off tomorrow I think. One scoop 150 cal Garden of Life chocolate meal in a glass of water and one scoop 90 cal vanilla sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water.

Mandy Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Day 7 I think I should try to have at least a 12 hour window where I don't eat. 6:30 One scoop 150 cal Garden of Life chocolate meal in a glass of water banana banana julienned carrots and cauliflower risotto with asparagus and mushrooms sautéed in avocado oil with coconut aminos, some garlic salt, pepper and lemon juice. Sounds fancy but was really lots of impulsive decisions coming together to make something. 🤷♀️ one scoop 90 cal vanilla sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water and a medjool date Amy's Chinese noodles and veggies frozen meal (420 calories) and gala apple a few weird dried blueberries I impulsively bought at Walmart hibiscus tea walk with dogs grapes Amy's lentil/vegetable lower sodium soup with fresh arugula roasted dandelion root tea 6:30 BANANA lemon water Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 This was intense, nice intense. I like. However, dog jumped on me during starfish jumps, he thought these were super exciting first thing in the morning so I I took a break to crate him, and again to turn the heat down. FUUUUUUCK. I would like to work up to doing the ab holds. Side planks also I've got about a minute tops in my shoulders right now and she calls for 1:30.

Mandy Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Day 9! This was meh-ok. She has workouts that are more fun. Noticed I feel better starting with cardio, then doing strength last. I really notice the lack of mood boost some days when I do just strength exercises. Repeated this one, still really like it a lot. I love anything with back exercises, superman, etc and planks and plank variations. Doing better with one armed planks. 127.0 pounds. I feel awesome. Sleeping solidly, and waking up earlier with energy. 6:30 (0r 6:40) One scoop 150 cal Garden of Life chocolate meal in a glass of water, one scoop 90 cal vanilla sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water 1/4 cup oatmeal and probably 3/4 cup wild blueberries gala apple vit d gummies, sardines and lemon juice, roasted dandelion root tea medjool date, banana walk with dog honeycrisp apple and date and lemon balm tea, zinc banana dried cranberries, three rice cakes with vegan mayo, fresh tomato and basil and kalamata olives, Amy's lentil soup and arugula and gala apple 2 bananas and frozen cherries done by 6:30 hibiscus rosehip tea, zinc and b12 Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Day 10! A slower paces and weights was a nice change up but hard to get used to after Pam's 30 seconds intervals. Left side arm plank I could hold the whole time with the weight, right side I didn't manage and had to take breaks. I will ask my sister about form when I see her to rule that out, otherwise my right side is just weaker? Intensity was right, and man the last full burpee, dumbbell jumping thing was uncalled for. But the full minute going from 30 seconds, and maintaining the form of that through the cool down was kinda strange. Still don't know how Pam manages to do so well with the music or choreography with it. 126.4 pounds 7:00 One scoop 150 cal Garden of Life chocolate meal in a glass of water, one scoop 90 cal vanilla sunwarrior protein powder in a glass of water 1/4 cup oatmeal and probably 3/4 cup wild blueberries gala apple lentil soup, broccoli with oat milk butter and lemon juice, hibiscus hawthorn tea orange, medjool date, banana, lemon balm tea GOL vanilla chai protein powder in glass of water 140 cal buttercup squash and lemon juice grapes more squash, oatmilk butter and lemon juice, sooo good 2 bananas and apple, done by 6:30 chrysanthemum tea lemon balm tea zinc Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
