kareno Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 CONGRATULATIONS, SHERRIE!!!!!!! Or should I say "ConGRADulations"!?!?!?! And a Happy Belated Birthday to you! Wow, what an exciting week or so it has been for you! Keep up the great work, and I hope your training and nutrition program is going well, too.

wahminsc Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks, Karen! This week I am feeling kind of old, lol. Gardening after semi-neglecting the yard all winter was something else. I aggravated my shoulder, so I'm on walking duty. I think I'm figuring out GF eating okay. I pay more attention now to how I'm feeling and what I'm eating. There is something definitely up with bread, be it wheat, gluten, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahminsc Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 UGH! Migraine on Thursday, stomach virus on Friday, and both are kicking me around today. I woke up feeling fine, so I helped in the neighborhood entry garden, planted tomatoes, and weeded an unused flower bed. Now I feel like crawling into bed. I'm supposed to meet friends tonight, but don't think I'll make it. Yeah, I think I need to call it a night. Worse thing about this? I want to cook. I have a dozen recipes bookmarked to try, but looking at food makes me feel worse. Gah! Later, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kareno Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hope you're feeling better by now, Sherrie. Tell me, what type of recipes are you/have you been trying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahminsc Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks, Karen. I've been mixing it up and cheating a little on the GF life. No GF pasta yet, just lots of veggies and some muffins. I found a local gf vegan cookie shop and am so very tempted to order every week. I've been kind of good, though. I went 7 days completely gluten-free and felt great. 8 pounds down, no bloating, and tons of energy. I forgot to ask about the ingredients in a Bloody Mary last Sunday night at dinner and have been all kinds of ick ever since. I asked about the vodka after the fact (bad move) and just read the label on the mixer the other night. Gluten has to stay gone. I cannot keep eating it. It hurts too much. Keeping a mix of produce in the house has been great for everyone, including the dogs. And now it's time to get back to work. Peace, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahminsc Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 It's been way too long since I posted a log or update. Long story short, I aggravated my back (again) and it's the worst it's been in years. Comfort food calls, but it's good comfort food - bans, greens, and fruit. Grrr.

wahminsc Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Way past time for a new update. Inches down, energy up. The scale refuses to budge, but I'm fine with that for now because my clothes are looser. Getting a handle on migraines will make me feel 100% better. Ugh.

wahminsc Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I cannot believe t's been so long since I've posted! Gah! My new routine has a four day strength training split with daily yoga, Pilates, or Tai Chi. I walk or do kaate drills on my res days. Still have to baby my body somewhat. Monday: rest (pain at 8-9/10) Tuesday: Chest & triceps at home (pain at 6-7); 3 sets of 12 on each - wide pushups - bench press - cable flys - narrow pushups - standing triceps extention - tricep pulldowns Lifted 20-30 pounds. My shoulder is still pretty wonky, so I do what I do. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahminsc Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Pain is high still, so Sunday is yoga day. On Saturday I pushed through and worked my legs. I went with 20 pounds since my back was also off. 3 sets of 12 each: standing calf raisesseated calf raisesseated leg curlsleg extensionsleg pressbody weight squats O the plus side, 3 pounds and a few inches down this week.

C.O. Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Nice to see more people posting not just workouts but also meal logs. I often go through people's journals for new ideas for what to eat. Thanks for sharing, -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often go through people's journals for new ideas for what to eat. Thanks for sharing, -Dylan You're welcome, Dylan. I do the same thing. I think I've got a standard menu down so I don't always post it. In general, breakfast - shake or fried rice lunch - shake (if I didn't have it for breakfast), sandwich and veggies, or soup and salad for lunchdinner - lots of veggies and either beans or sweet potato on the side Gluten and sodium intake are way down and produce is way up. It's what works for me. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahminsc Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Pain level and stiffness level are high. I'll know for sure if there's a pinched nerves in my cervical spine soon. I do know the degeneration is spreading and I am not amused. Walking, yoga, and pilates are in the plans this week, and lower body work in two days, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahminsc Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Pain kicked my butt this past week. I'm limited to pt and walking for the most part. As much as I'd lik o go hard, I know I can't right now. So I'm going to follow orders and do what needs to be done. Dangit. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahminsc Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Still a a 7-8/10 pain level, dang it, but keeping positive and motivated. Diet is 80% of it, so if I keep that in check while I'm limited, it'll work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahminsc Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Blood work tomorrow and stomach bug today (thanks, kids). PT and walking today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahminsc Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 It's been forever since I've posted here! I'm down fifteen pounds, down to 32% bf, training for a 5k (walking so far), and off one medication. I had to switch things up quite a bit, but think I've found the right plan for me.
