Beautiful bacon! Good morning! Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the Spring Sprint challenge! Have you signed up yet? Just search “1st Phorm” in the App Store and download the My Transphormation app. It’s easy to use (still trying to get the hang of the food tracker) and it’s free! #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #MyTransPHORMationStartsToday #springsprint This was me yesterday. This week our sleep schedule was thrown out of whack because it turns out I can’t sleep without my husband here (he worked a double shift, so 3 pm to 7 am). I was super cranky yesterday! I did my weekly weigh-in and photos. No changes (still 186). Now, to make up for my unplanned rest day yesterday! Happy Wednesday! #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #MyTransPHORMationStartsToday #springsprint Check out my gorgeous artichokes! Thanks to all the rain we had this past winter, this is the best harvest we have had! If you are feeling a bit plugged up, steam yourself an artichoke. I am pretty sure I could have a colonoscopy today! 😁 #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #MyTransPHORMationStartsToday #springsprint Step Ups ... let’s see if I can leave the house tomorrow. 😀 Happy Sunday Funday! #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #MyTransPHORMationStartsToday #springsprint What nutrition app do you use? I have been using @MyFitnessPal nesspal for YEARS and now, this pops up every day. I don’t let Google, Facebook or Instagram follow me around town so WHY would I let My Fitness Pal (Under Armour)? #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #MyTransPHORMationStartsToday #springsprint Planted all of my plants AND hit my Garmin step goal (and more)! Not pictured are two crackhead repellents ... I mean Fire Thorn bushes. #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #MyTransPHORMationStartsToday #springsprint Since I have decided to be more clothed in my pictures, here are my Day 1 photos for the @1stPhorm Spring Sprint challenge. You can still join me! The deadline is April 22nd and it’s all app based (you don’t need a computer or printer any longer). I started tracking yesterday, using the macros they gave me, and I am all over the map! As much as I want to blame all of the water I drank (I got 84 ounces in) or stress, I ate “normal” on purpose. I wanted to see just how off my eating has been. I have some work to do! I was pleasantly surprised that I managed (through food) to get in as much protein as I did (only needed one scoop of #phormula1 ). Now, to adjust my carb/fat ratio, and I will be good! So, starting weight is 184 pounds. Happy Wednesday (I am off to go plant shopping)! #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #MyTransPHORMationStartsToday #springsprint Doctors. This lovely eye twitch began randomly yesterday (after my allergy shot) and just got worse. See, I am waiting for my hopefully final procedure so I can begin fully training again. Last night, I was told I need to see my cardiologist to get approval. He referred me to them AND already knows the plan but that’s not good enough? This whole year has been a fight between doing what the doctors tell me to do and giving them all the middle finger. My eye obviously prefers the middle finger! #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #mytransphormationstartstoday #bacon This is as far as I have gotten, trying to “plan” my food for today. Happy Monday! 1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #mytransphormationstartstoday If you aren’t tracking, how do you know what is/isn’t working? So, my schedule has completely changed. Last month, my husband switched from day shift to swing shift. What does that mean? He starts work at 3 pm instead of 7 am. The adjustment period is just about complete BUT our eating schedule has been rough. Before, it was throw together his lunch, I pick during the day, then we sat together for a big dinner. That has completely flipped because we both refuse to have a huge meal at Midnight. As a result, I stopped tracking. My eating schedule was so clock-based before that I had no idea how/when to eat at night, by myself. Well, look at what happened! I “magically” list 6 pounds and I don’t specifically know how! I do have some ideas but I wish I knew more. 1. I get more sleep. With his old schedule, I was lucky to get 5 solid hours of sleep per night. Now, I get between 7 and 8. 2. I am moving more. My body (and my brain) don’t really like to sit for extended periods of time but it was easier when I was with my husband, eating dinner and watching movies at night. Now, despite feeling like we have more time together, we aren’t spending as much time sitting together. 3. I may be eating less, though it doesn’t seem like it. It seems like all I do is eat when he’s at work but I am just picking. Maybe my overall volume has gone down? I track my sleep, and monitor my activity (cheap Garmin lets me know if I am being a slug on the couch) but we all know it’s food that is the largest factor in weight management. Don’t be like me! Track your food! Even if it’s garbage food you ate, track it. That way you will remember why your weight changed. #1stPhorm #LegionOfBOOM #Phamily #NeverSettle #MyTransPHORMation #WeightLoss #Transformation #MyTransformation #Fitness #WeightLossStory #FitnessJourney #mytransphormationstartstoday
