working out for Disney

[MinnieM123]

BTW believe you me getting started wasn't easy. I set small goals and went from there

Small goals--that's the key to success, no matter what you tackle. I think that's why so many that have "good intentions" for either exercise, or diets, hit the skids--because people initially set their goals a bit too high. It's frustrating when you don't achieve a target within a specific block of time, and that discourages enough people to quit.

I am in a total breakfast rut. I am so sick of eggs and I really don't like sweet things for breakfast. LOL

I keep looking in my fridge and pantry for something to make and nothing stands out to me.

You can always make a smoothie with what you have on hand

I think next time I will omit it. It's time to admit I really don't like it and not from lack of trying all of these years.

I know what you mean. I have tried to like it but can't.

it's too yucky to go out walking so I'm going to do some Leslie Sansone while my bread is rising.

That is why I eat lots of oatmeal. Some days I add a nut butter, chia seeds, and fruit. Some days just fruit. Cereal does not last for me.

I can't eat oatmeal so when I want something like that I eat quinoa or buckwheat

Good morning The sun is out again and warm temps today!
Just messing around today and see what I can do. Walking today.
Chicken and veggie quesadillas tonight with salad. Have a good day!

Good idea. I see lots of quinoa breakfast recipes. I use quinoa for my salad bowls.

When my wife bakes, the house smells so good. Otherwise it smells like dogs and Febreeze.

I get a chuckle out of that "nose blind" commercial that Fabreze runs. I live in a small two bedroom apt. I live alone and at times find it to be confining. My upstairs neighbors (two adults) have 4, count'um FOUR dogs in their apartment. I don't dare go up there but I'd guess that "Kennel #5" is the scented atmosphere of the place.

Wow, we have two small dogs and I dream of the day I go "nose blind" to them.

Wooo. I am in with a Body Pump workout. I finally found all the plates that go on to my barbell. I haven't done a barbell workout since June. I will probably be very sore tomorrow.

I have no idea what I am fixing for dinner. I am going to see what I can throw together. I usually have all of my meals planned out for the week, but I just felt "meh" about food this week. Nothing appeals to me and I am eating so I can workout, basically.

I'm not going to WDW again until 3/2018 but I should probably get started on my Disney Diet now since I'll need to lose like 20lbs to make room for the 30lbs I'll gain while there despite walking 10 miles a day

I do go to the gym, but it's not as often as I "should" or would like. Any tips or motivation, guys?

I think any time is a good time to start. "Now" is even better. I might start again tomorrow or the next day.
For me, the motivation that is the strongest is when I decide to lose weight, exercise more and eat healthier for me, because I want to do it for my own health. My wife can encourage, the Dr. can make all kinds of suggestions, but until I set it in my mind to do it because I want to do it for me, it does not really happen. I do try fairly regularly, and have had some success in walking and losing weight, but do know I have to get back to being more serious about it.
The mind set that I am trying to get better for my own sake is a strong motivator, and in doing so it makes things better for my wife when I am healthier too.
Not sure that makes a lot of sense, but main thing I am trying to pass along is make sure you keep reminding yourself that healthy is good for you.

It is apple harvest time here and they are plentiful. I wanted something different the other day for breakfast. My wife was out of town, so it was just me and the dogs and they did not care either way.
I peeled a couple of honey crisp (my favorites) apples and sautéed them in butter till they were nicely browned. Made a couple of sausage patties and warmed up some no sugar added apple butter. Then I put the apple butter on a plate, topped it with the sausage patties then topped that with the sautéed apples. It was very good and I did not miss my usual eggs, salsa and hotsauce. It probably could have used some toast or something, but it was OK, and the apples are a good compliment to sausage. I'm sure it would have been fine with some tofu or something instead of sausage as well (yeah, I can't type that with a straight face but you would not know it if I had not admitted it).
