12/31/18

Almost all green today just might miss floors and active minutes but will have achieved my steps per hour goal and gotten over 13K steps. Plan for today has changed will wait and go to church in the AM for the holiday since I feel like I was ran over but a truck. Sinus cold still kicking my butt but I am feeling a little better haven't coughed as much today and haven't had to blow my nose as much either. Will try and get some arm exercises in with my resistance tubes in tomorrow. Still no new workouts in the app yet but that's OK as I'm taking this week off from the gym to rest and recharge while recovering from this sinus cold.

12/30/18

Unsure if I'll go all green today but will achieve my steps per hour goal and get at least 13K steps. Decided to take the week off from the gym and get better as this sinus cold is kicking my butt. For the most part I've been getting my 250+ steps in then resting most all of the afternoon. I think if I don't feel better by Thursday then I'll call the doctor and see if I can get in either Thursday afternoon or anytime on Friday. As of now my new workouts aren't in the app yet but that's OK since I need this week to get better instead of trying to fight through my workouts with this sinus cold.

12/29/18

Unsure if I'll go all green today but at least going to get 13K steps. Missed achieving my steps per hour goal by 52 steps sitting in church tonight. This sinus cold is kicking my butt think I might take this week off to get better then hit it hard the first full week of January. Off tomorrow so will at least get my steps in and also achieve my steps per hour goal but other than that rest and watch football all day. I downed 2 16oz bottles of Orange Juice this morning at work and thought about buying some but forgot when I left.

12/28/18

Almost all green today just might miss floors but will achieve my steps per hour goal. Got in a great Legs/Abs/Biceps/Triceps and 15 min treadmill walk since still not feeling good with a sinus cold. My work schedule was published early so I know I can get into the gym 1 last time in 2018 and start out 2019 in the gym too. Plan on measuring on Sunday to post on Monday when I post my weigh in. In my TOPS online groups their chapters get a black weigh in next week but not me mine counts for losses or gains from the previous week. I'm off 2 days plus the holiday this week so I have plenty of time to rest. Bought a cute purple/blue otterbox at Tech World on Wednesday it's kind of a mix between the 2 local high school colors of the town I work the St. Mary's Colgan Panthers(blue) and the public high school(purple) and also a mixture of the 2 biggest colleges in Kansas the University of Kansas (KU Blue) and Kansas State (purple). I didn't even realize that when I bought it th

12/27/18

All green today and achieved my steps per hour goal. Got in a great Biceps/Triceps/Abs and 20 min treadmill walk today since I wasn't feeling like getting on the stair master. Tomorrow's workout plan is Legs/Abs/Biceps/Triceps and 15 min treadmill walk but will see how I feel to see if I do the stair master instead. Only the second time I've ever reached my floors goal think it's because it's so windy outside but hey I'll take it.

12/26/18

Almost all green just going to miss floors, miles and active minutes since I had to charge my tracker. Got in an OK back and 20 min on bike this afternoon since I had a killer throbbing headache but that's gone now. Went and got a new tempered glass screen protector put on my phone and bought a cute purple and blue otter box defender series case. Tomorrow's workout plan is Biceps/Triceps/Chest and 20 min on stair master after working 8AM-2PM. Otter box cases for the Galaxy's are different than the ones for iPhones. My new one has no screen protector like the ones I've had in the past. I like the new ones better so I can have a screen protector that's not plastic on my screen.

12/25/18

Almost all green today and achieved my steps per hour goal. Got in both yesterdays legs/abs workout and today's shoulders and 20 min walk instead of elliptical so will do 20 min elliptical tomorrow instead of treadmill.  Wasn't going to get any workout in but decided to do the first one around noon and the second one just finished a minute or so ago. Tomorrow's workout plan is work 6AM-2PM then go to the mall for a new tempered glass screen protector and if they have them an otter box defender series and after that Back and 20 min elliptical.

12/24/18

Writing early but pretty sure I'll go all green or almost all green and will try and achieve my steps per hour goal. Drinking my second Bang! of the day. Not sure if I'll get a chance to check in with my Spark teams today but will check e-mail shortly. Planned rest day today and tomorrow for the holiday but back at it on Wednesday afternoon.

12/23/18

Writing early again today so not sure if I'll go all green or even achieve my steps per hour goal today. Plan is to at least get 250+ steps from 9AM-7PM today so that's 10hrs but we will see how busy from 2PM-7PM that we get at work. Bought a cheap plastic screen protector which will hold me over until midweek when I can get to the mall and Tech World booth to get a new tempered glass one put on. Was going to have one of the boys put the protector on for me but he got busy so when I went on lunch I decided to put it on myself. Mindful moment that came up on my phone this morning: Acceptance doesn't mean apathy. It means seeing clearly from a place of calm, knowing when to act, knowing when to let go. Didn't get my meditation last night since it was late and I was tired.

12/22/18

Not sure if I'll go all green today but writing early since it will be late when we get home. No time to check in with my Spark teams today. Once again today is a 2 Bang kinda day. Love the fact that I can journal my food on my phone so will put dinner in later. Plan on taking my Slimvance before going to church just in case I don't have time before we go to the Christmas party. Put a cheap screen protector on my phone to get my by until Wednesday afternoon when I can get to the mall and have a better one plus get an otterbox case too.

12/21/18

Almost all green just missed floors and miles yesterday cause I had to charge my tracker. Almost all green today but might miss floors and maybe active minutes too. Will achieve my steps per hour goal for today. Got in a great Legs/Biceps/Triceps and 15 min random workout on the treadmill. After a couple of rest days unsure of Monday and Tuesday yet but plan on getting my steps in both days even if I don't get a lifting workout in. Might or might not get to write tomorrow as I work 6AM-2PM then church at 4PM before Christmas after that. 1 load of laundry already in the dryer and the other load is in the washer now. Getting them done today since I won't have time tomorrow and not sure when I work Sunday yet. Won't know my work schedule until sometime tomorrow to plan my workout times of day and number of days. Might only get 3 days next week but unsure of that yet. With the holiday on Tuesday and day before is busy so might just get in there Wed-Fri next week.

12/20/18

Almost all green and who knows I might actually get floors today. Writing early but know I will achieve my steps per hour goal before putting my Charge3 on the charger around 6PM. It's been 7 days so that means time to charge it's at 27% battery now at almost 2PM. Got in a great Biceps/Triceps/Abs and 20 min on escalator(stair master) at 47 steps per minute. Next week I may try 50 steps per minute just to see if I can do it. Tomorrow's workout plan is Biceps/Triceps/Abs/Legs and 15 min on treadmill done in circuit style instead of sets. Last night I finished the 10 session basics on headspace and will start another one tonight. Mindful moment that just popped up on my phone: Without any judgement or criticism, try to count how many times your mind gets distracted in the next 10 minutes. These come up on my phone multiple times a day but today one came up while I was writing this.

12/19/18

Almost all green today but will miss floors and did achieve my steps per hour goal. I'm on day or session 10 of basics and I did unwind last night just to relax for 3 min there. After today I'll have to pick another course to do on Headspace app. I was checking e-mail a little bit ago and one of my friend's her chapter voted to not meet next week so she will be 2 weeks without a weigh in. I don't miss TOPS just because of the missed weigh in's. I weigh in no matter what even if it's a holiday I still weigh for my trainer and for the site too. Got in a great Back and 20 min treadmill walk this afternoon. Since I'm off tomorrow I'll get in my Biceps/Triceps/Chest and 20 min on stair master before noon.

12/18/18

Almost all green just will miss floors today but achieved my steps per hour goal or will by 6PM tonight. Last night I got my regular vitamin packs from the gym and while the fish oil is longer it's also not as fat as the ones in the GNC vitamin packs. Started taking my regular vitamin packs again this morning. Got in a great Shoulders and 20 min on elliptical just haven't taken a screenshot of today's workout and posted to my FB page and Instagram yet but will soon. Tomorrow's workout plan is Back and 20 min on treadmill after I get off work at 2PM. Decided to write early then I don't have to worry about it later this evening.

12/17/18

Almost all green just might miss floors today but did achieve my steps per hour goal. Got in a great Legs/Abs workout but still getting used to no cardio on Monday. Today is day or session 8 of my daily meditation and I did splurge last night and subscribed to the app. Eager once the basics session is over to explore the app a lot more. Got my vitamins that I take from 1st Phorm tonight just need to write my trainer a check since she paid for them already but going to see if the guy can bill me and send them to me or to the gym whichever is easier for him.

12/16/18

Unsure if I'll go all green today on my Charge3 but will get 13K steps. Came up short of achieving my steps per hour goal today sitting in church this morning missed an hour. Tomorrow's workout plan is Legs/Abs after getting off work at 4:15PM. Then finally a day off on Tuesday that will be after working 7 days straight. In a bit will get my headspace meditation session in to make it day 7 even though it's actually only 6 days since I doubled up on Wednesday evening.

12/15/18

Almost all green on my Fit Bit charge but floors and active minutes. Did achieve my steps per hour goal today. Plan is to get into the gym all 5 days this week Monday evening, Tuesday-Thursday mornings and Friday early afternoon. After another gym rest day tomorrow it's back into the gym Monday evening for Legs/Abs. Tonight's meditation will be day 6 of 10. Right now just doing the free part of the app but might subscribe to it in the new year. Also later will read my church book for daily meditation too.

12/14/18

Almost all green on my Fit Bit Charge3 today but might miss floors and active minutes since it is at 23% battery at 20 till 7PM. Got in a great Legs/Biceps/Triceps and 15 min treadmill walk this evening. It was a different workout than I've done since April with it being a circuit style workout and not supersets. Found on Monday an app called headspace it's a meditation app unsure if I saw it on my local newscast or if it was on the national newscast but I got it on my phone. So far I'm going to do day 5 this evening around 9PM. Gym rest days this weekend then back into the gym on Monday with Legs/Abs. Won't know until sometime tomorrow my work schedule for next week to plan my workout times of day and number of days. Well looks like I'm working 6 days this week since my manager couldn't find anyone to take my shift tomorrow. She said she would try and have me off on Sunday but not holding my breath on that just like when she said she would "try" and f

12/13/18

Almost all green just might miss floors today. Today was a 2 Bang kinda day even though it wasn't supposed to be. Was literally sitting in my car getting ready to go workout and got a phone call to come into work today and work 10:15AM-2PM but got my workout in after. Tomorrow's workout plan is Legs/Biceps/Triceps and 15 min on the treadmill circuit style instead of sets to change it up. Have a feeling that tomorrow will be a 2 Bang kinda day as well.

12/12/18

Yesterday was a 2 Bang kinda day as was today. Went all green but floors and miles yesterday but will go all green all but floors today. Achieved my steps per hour goal for today. Got in a great Back and 20 min hill treadmill walk today. Tomorrow's workout plan is Biceps/Triceps and 20 min on stair master. Off tomorrow so will enjoy every minute of it and get rest. Got off at 9PM last night but still only got 5hrs 52 min of sleep last night into this morning. More than likely will be in bed by around 9PM tonight just because I'm still tired and wiped from working 1:30PM-9PM last night then the quick turn around and working 6AM-11:20AM today stayed a little longer because the girl who was supposed to replace me called and said she would be late but we didn't know how late she was going to be but only 20 minutes late so not too bad.

12/11/18

Unsure if I'll go all green today but will try all but of course floors. Decided to go ahead and write early since I have time. Got in a great Shoulders/Chest and 20 min on elliptical workout this morning. I have a feeling that today will be a 2 Bang kinda day. Had one this morning and have another in the fridge at work just in case I need it tonight. Tomorrow's workout plan is Back and 20 min on the treadmill unsure if I'll do treadmill sprints or pick a hills or something that's already on the treadmill instead of manual like I always do. Tomorrow too may be a 2 Bang kinda day after working till 10PM tonight and back at 6AM tomorrow.

12/10/18

Almost all green just will miss floors and maybe active minutes. Unsure if I'll journal/blog tomorrow since I work 1:30PM-10PM then it's home for a quick shower and bed before having to be up at 4:30AM on Wed to be at work by 6AM. Will have my workout clothes packed and left at work so I don't have to mess with it on Wed AM. Got in a great Legs/Abs workout today but was strange to not have any cardio scheduled. Tomorrow's workout plan is Shoulders/Chest and 20 min on elliptical. Will miss The Voice instant save tomorrow unless I can plan my break for maybe 7:45 so I can watch the performances and instantly save someone.

12/9/18

Not sure if I'll go all green today but will achieve my steps per hour goal. Working 3PM-10:30PM today so will be ready for bed when I get home. Tomorrow's workout plan is Legs/Abs and might get on the stair master for 10-15min after since I didn't get on it last Thursday. Journaling/blogging early today since I work late today. Off tomorrow so will get into the gym and also get to GNC for more Lean 25 shake mix.

12/8/18

Not sure if I'll go all green today or not since I'm writing early. Work 1:30PM-8:15PM so getting this done before work. Right now my Charge3 is at 33% battery and will charge when I get home later tonight. Plan is to get into the gym all 5 days this week nothing planned for Friday so might just get in some cardio and a little legs or abs workout. Monday after my workout I need to get to GNC for more Lean 25 shake powder since I have enough for today and tomorrow only. Drinking my Bang Energy drink now and might take another one in to work and drink there later.

12/7/18

Almost all green but going to miss floors and probably active minutes today too. Achieved my steps per hour goal today. Taking a gym rest day since I have nothing planned for today and I got off at 6PM which is too late to workout. Hoping to get into the gym all 5 days next week but will see once the schedule is published tomorrow.

12/6/18

Almost all green just going to miss floors again today but did achieve my steps per hour goal. Decided to go 20 min row instead of stair master since I wasn't feeling it today. Taking a rest day tomorrow since I work 10AM-6PM and it will be later before I get home again. Great Biceps/Triceps/Abs workout tonight and used heavier weights than normal. Need to sometime get to GNC and buy more Lean 25 shake mix maybe sometime next week.

12/5/18

Almost all green but will miss floors today. Posting early so hope to achieve my steps per hour goal but not sure with a rosary this evening. Got in a great Back and 20 min on treadmill decided to do the hill program on the treadmill today. Tomorrow's workout plan is Biceps/Triceps and 20 min on stair master. Quads are still sore from Monday's workout and as of yet still no planned workout on Friday not sure if I'll go this week or not but probably not since I work 10AM-6PM and will get enough exercise unloading the truck and putting stock out. More than likely will miss Christmas Eve and Christmas day's workouts unless I'm off on Christmas Eve then will go in the AM but take the holiday off. Most if not all of today's workout was brand new just did TRX rows, Lat pulldowns, and Seated rows that I've done before but the rest were exercises that I'd never done before. I'm in third place on both workweek challenges on Fit Bit.

12/4/18

Almost all green but will miss floors today. Achieved or will shortly my steps per hour goal. Bought a couple of tops and a cardigan this afternoon to wear to church and events like Christmas or funerals. Will take a photo in both tops and leggings and post later. Got in a great Shoulders/Chest and 20 min on elliptical today. Tomorrow's workout plan is Back and 20 min on treadmill probably either sprints 30 sec on and 30 sec off or HIIT 2 min jog at 4.5 and 1 min walk at 3.2 not sure which I'll do yet but something other than just either incline treadmill walk or treadmill walk. In almost a year I'm down 4.6# and since April I'm down 4.3# so making progress since switching to a new trainer.

12/3/18

Almost all green just will miss floors today. Achieved my steps per hour goal. Got my new workouts this morning but still need to write them in my notebook will do that in a bit. Great Legs/Abs workout and didn't need any machines today. Tomorrow I'll take my Altered snacks to work on the way home so I can eat them there. Just posted to social media my Facebook page and Instagram almost forgot to do that. Usually I post when I get done with my workouts but was kinda tired today.

12/2/18

Almost all green but not sure about miles today and won't get active minutes or floors. Charge3 is at 36% battery and not sure how long I want to leave it before charging it but it's been 7 days since I last put it on the charger. Plan still for this week is to get into the gym all 5 days. My workout clothes and headphones are at work so I don't have to take my bag in the morning just my lunch box with my protein bite, power crunch bar, shake for lunch and Bang! energy drink. Scale still down from last week so should be OK for weigh in tomorrow and will measure on Tuesday morning for December.

12/1/18 and December Goals

Decided a couple of days ago to start making goals again. Almost all green just going to miss floors and active minutes. Came up 71 steps shy of achieving my steps per hour goal today. Plan is to get into the gym all 5 days this week even going after 6PM on Friday. I met my exercise goal for the week 7 of 7 days but came up short 9 of 10hrs today. Goals for December: I plan on having a losing month and get into the gym every work day Monday-Friday this month. Scale is down 1.2# for the month with Monday being official weigh in day.
