Toning For The Turkey

Thanksgiving 🦃, the best holiday with the exception of Independence Day 🇺🇸, is 4 weeks from today! It's the best because food 🍽! I recently started the 21 Day Fix with a friend & have had other friends start Keto as well as Whole30. I thought it would be fun and helpful to start an accountability group where we can share healthy meals, workouts, and motivate each other.

If you would be interested in joining the group, whether you want to do one of the above mentioned plans or your own version of working out and eating better, let me know by this weekend so I can add you to the group. We will start on Monday 29 & go up until right before Thanksgiving.

If you think you might be interested but have some more questions let me know!  The group will be a closed group on Facebook that I will invite you to if you decide it is something you are interested in.  There is 0 obligation to buy anything & you can post as much or as little as you would like.  I just know in my own experience, I'm much more likely to stick with something if others are holding me accountable & checking in with me!

Annnd an unrelated Throwback Thursday picture from my 21st birthday because #ThrowbackThursday & I turned 30 on Tuesday....

Work It Girl

165.8.

That's how much I weighed when I stepped on the scale the morning of my birthday.  It actually didn't come as a shock.  For a few years now I've fluctuated around 160-165.  Before I stepped on the scale I had already decided I needed to start working out again.  That's why I bought the scale.  I recently saw a picture of myself at 24.  The age at which I was eating my healthiest & working out/running regularly.  It was that year that I got back down to 18 year old me weight, 155.  That's my goal.  By 30 I want to be back down to 155 & maintaining it.  It's only 10 pounds.  If I get my ass back into gear & start running again, & eating healthier, that's less than a pound a month...  Of course I type that as I'm sitting here eating buffalo chicken dip for supper on Monday night.  Early morning volleyball practices have come to an end.  Waking up at 5 am has not.  So my plan is to get rid of all of the food I currently have in the house, & starting meal prepping healthy meals.  In January I'll be doing Whole30.  One of my 30 by 30 goals is to workout 3x a week so I will also be doing that in the morning.  I have a gym at my apartment so I really have no excuse not to.

Update: I got a stomach bug on Tuesday & by Wednesday afternoon I was down 3 pounds.  The upside to being sick?  Of course by Thursday I had gained a pound back.
