Weigh in Wednesday: The Month We Were Fully At Home
I can't believe it's already time for another weigh-in Wednesday! I feel like I just wrote up my summary from last month.
I weighed in at 163.5 (or 6?-- I don't really remember the number after the decimal point and I'm too lazy to find my phone and look it up right now) last Thursday (when I wrote this post). This means that in the last month I was able to shed 2 lbs. I'm pretty happy with that. I mean I always want to see those numbers go down but at the same time I really do love to eat and have not managed to give up my sweets entirely.
I do think I ate much better this month than last and a large part of that is that we've been eating at home. I haven't really remembered to snap many photos of my dinner but I have taken quite a few photos of my breakfasts, lunches, and snacks.

I'm still not working out consistently 5 days a week like I would like but I have been much better about mixing up my variety of workouts. This past month I've hiked, kayaked, lifted weights, RUN on the treadmill, squeezed in a couple of stability ball workout, enjoyed a few Move With Nicole Pilates videos, and tried to ease some lower back pain with a few Yoga with Adrienne videos.

Congrats on the weight loss! And on moving more. I know the latter is super important for me. Your meals all look good. Keep it up and have a great Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a healthy month! :)
ReplyDeleteIt really felt like it.
DeleteGreat job! I find it so frustrating that if I go down 2 pounds, the next day I go back up 2 pounds!
ReplyDeleteI do that too but I've been noticing that my highs aren't as high and the lows are dipping into lower numbers so I know I'm heading in the right direction.
DeleteYou're doing awesome. Your meals all look tasty and healthy!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt's so much easier to eat better at home most of the time. We have found a couple of healthy restaurants around us, because cooking is a lot of work, LOL
ReplyDeleteXOOX
Jodie
It really is!
DeleteWoo hoo on pounds down! Always such a good feeling. And every time I see your fruit and yogurt bowls, I want to have one. And then I forget about them. They just look so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! It motivates me to keep going.
DeleteYour meals are so colorful and healthy!

Thank you! I do try to eat a rainbow.
DeleteCongrats on the weight loss! Those salads sound absolutely delicious. #WWandPics
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou are so active and do so many different things. That's a good idea. I really need to start planning as I'm approaching my final check up after surgery!

HI Joanne, your meals look delicious which proves that eating healthy doesn't have to be boring. #WWandPics
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteEating at home is much easier isn't it? Delicious looking meals without being too hard on yourself. #WWandPics
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
DeleteTo be able to eat all that delicious food and still lose 2lb sounds like a win/win to me :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt is so much easier to eat better when you are at home. All of your food looks so good.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSo many delicious meals!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGood for you! I joined weight watchers last week but have done terrible at tracking! I have got to get on the ball! Your meals look delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a little bit of practice for it to become habit but once you do it's much easier to keep it going.
DeleteThat cinnamon swirl bread looks amazing! It looks like you ate really healthy this month! Lots of salads and fruits and veggies and proteins!
ReplyDeleteAlec has made quite a few delicious breads for us this month.
DeleteGood going! I am still doing keto but not losing as much weight on it as I did initially. know I need to up my exercise as that will help
ReplyDeleteThank you!

ReplyDeleteWonderful, thank you!
DeleteYour lunches and salads look so good! You did do such a great variety of workouts...it's nice to do different things, and you do such a great job getting outside!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteSo many great meal ideas. Your post reminded/prompted me to track today. I am trying harder again. Just saw some pictures of myself and feel like I look so thick. I don't remember being THICK in the past. And I have a tummy I've picked up that was never a real issue. Ugh. I continue to enjoy your Greek yogurt, fresh fruit and granola idea. But will have to check out some of these new breakfasts.
ReplyDeleteAtta girl!! You look terrific and are healthy and strong.
Aw, thank you! I hope the tracking helps keep you "on track."
DeleteYou go girl! I am struggling to workout because it is so hot. My workouts are usually just walking through my neighborhood. 90+ degree temps and humidity that ranges between 50-90% are killer. Diet wise I'm doing ok. Need to cut out a few things to start making progress again.
ReplyDeleteUgh that is definitely tough in the summer. Heat makes me feel so unmotivated to do anything.
DeleteI love looking at the healthy foods you eat Joanne and great job losing the 2 lbs.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
