Keep at it....if there's an off day just get back on the plan and keep going. Happens to all of us. Remember, consistency matters more than occasional slip ups!

Sounds like a delicious meal plan, Justina! If I had a juicer I would think seriously about replacing my dinners with a juice.
 
90mins walking + juice supper (low-cal) ,,,,, serious fat-busting gal!

Thanks for stopping by! Juicer is a good investment. We paid about $35 for ours. There are a lot fancier ones. But ours' does the job just fine for now :)

Good day today again!! Hubby was home - day off - yay!
We didn't get up to much. We made some burritos from scratch - they were soo good!
Oh...I had something naughty. I had dairy free coconut ice cream - it was divine!!!
It was really stormy-rainy here today - so we were pretty much stuck inside.
However, we did go to the gym!! I am so proud :D i did an hour on the elliptical!! Go me!
For dinner it was fresh veggie juice - yumyum!
Now I am just finishing off my day with a nice cup Pau d'Arco tea.

One more week until my course start with Duke. Exciting!
 
Justina, you are an exercise machine!!!:D you are doing so great.

All I wanna say is Burritos....yummmmmm!!!
 
Great job on the exercise, Justina! You're doing great! Does the juice for dinner keep you satisfied at night? I would be ravenous by bedtime..haha!

Well first we just wanted to have juicing as pre-dinner vitamin boost...but then we were not hungry...so yeah - it pretty much keeps me satisfied :) Mind you the day of juicing I usually have a slightly bigger portion lunch!

You have me looking at cheaper juicers. I've already switched my eating so that my biggest 2 meals are breakfast and lunch. My dinners are smallish now. A juice dinner occasionally would make sense to me.

BTW, great job hitting the gym!
 
Justina, I also live in a rural environment and it can be difficult. Luckily I have always had my own car to get where I needed to go and currently have access to fitness classes through my university. I have always found that walking and hiking in an area such as mine is enjoyable exercise. Have you ever tried hiking? I live in the mountains so there are a lot of trails at my disposal.

Thanks Cory for stopping by! :) Yeah, i have the gym through my husband's work too. But i need the car for that lol... I love hiking!!!! But still you need the car to get to a place to hike...we are moving in June though - I look forward to it :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This week I am like an exercise machine!! In the gym every day! Go me! :gnorsi:
The scale is being nice too....so I am hoping for a good weigh in on Friday.

Here is today's menu:
B: Ezekiel toast + latte
S: Banana
L: Chickpea * zucchini warm dish
S:
D: Veggie juice

E: GYM!!
 
Justina,

Congratulations on your goals and thank you for being so candid in your journey. I have an ironic situation in that I am a fitness and health professional, however, I myself have weight to lose and have joined this forum for support. Your goals are amazing and I know you will get there.

I am currently studying Holistic Nutrition and would like to offer some assistance if you will accept it. I love that you have nothing processed in your meals, and I, too, don't care for counting calories. You have great natural carbs going on. It does appear from your entry that you may not be consuming enough protein? I see the tuna in your lunch which looks amazing by the way, but not much in your breakfast or dinner - nut butters, eggs, poultry, and even beans are great additions especially when you are exercising. Keep the posts coming please!

Have a great day!
