Happy Wednesday, dear reader! I finally have a moment to catch my breath after having a busy September. During this month, I took a break from Beachbody on Demand, walked when I could fit it into my schedule, and ate clean about 80% of the time. I did not do any DVD workouts.
This past Monday, I started Round 2 of Clean & Lean. I will follow the clean eating guidelines as closely as possible. In addition, I started a new exercise program on Beachbody on Demand called 4 Weeks for Every Body taught by Autumn Calabrese. Each week consists of four workouts with three rest days. Today is a rest day, but I will walk after dinner for at least 30 minutes. And, I plan to walk or ride my bike the other two days. Yesterday’s leg workout was so tough that my legs felt rubbery afterwards. Terrific workout!
I weighed in this morning at 153.5 pounds. I have lost 1/2 of a pound since 31 August with an overall weight loss of 8.5 pounds since 01 June. I have basically been maintaining my weight the last few weeks. Personally, I think intermittent fasting along with staying away from soda, fried foods, and added sugar helped me maintain. When I do indulge, it is in moderation. I choose the treat for one meal or snack instead of an all day affair. I would love to see 149 pounds by the end of the 30 days.
Since cooler weather arrived this week, it finally feels like autumn. Cooler weather makes it more comfortable to walk outside, and I can fit it in my schedule earlier in the day. As always, dear reader, I am excited to see what I can accomplish in the next few weeks concerning my health and well-being. What are you doing to improve your health? Happiness!

You’re doing great Kat. That ‘rubbery’ feeling is great. It makes me feel like I properly deserve to put my feet up the following day!! But I think a good walk is the better option. Share your fav recipes
Thanks, Rita! I’m not a fan of cooking, but I’ll share some of the recipes I use when I do throw something together. Great idea!
I definitely need to get back on track with not eating the junk!!! I can feel it when I eat too much sugar. I need a yoga buddy that will motivate me to start back at least 3/week by coming with me! It truly changed how I felt physically and mentally and I miss it.
Yes, sugar makes me feel sluggish mentally and physically. That’s not to say I don’t indulge from time to time. Having an exercise buddy is a great idea to stay on track with your fitness. It makes exercising more fun and holds you accountable. I hope you find a yoga buddy, Roxanne. Maybe going to a class, you might find one.
It was a hint to you!🤣
HA! Well, not too sure if you want me to go to yoga with you unless you like being embarrassed in public. Notice, I never write about my yoga experiences. I’m not graceful. With that being said, I would go with you once to jumpstart your habit of going 3 times per week.
[…] last week, what I eat in a day, and a new recipe I tried this morning. Currently, I am on Week 2 of 4 Weeks for Every Body. According to the workout calendar, today is a REST day; however, since I have a busy weekend ahead […]
