Week 1 Weigh In!!

Official Week 1 Weigh in for my Restoration Wellness program…
Drumroll please….
Bigger cuz this is big…….

Down 9.2lbs my first week!!!

Whattttttttt!!!!! That is approx 13% of the total weight I want to lose gone already!

Now down to 253.5!!!!

Soooo happy w my results not even “just” my weight loss in one week of 9.2lbs.
-My body fat % went from 53.2% (😬) to 48.9%!!!!
-My visceral fat went down 2 layers!!!
-My body water % went up almost 4%!! That’s huge bc I have always had a hard time drinking water.
-My physique stayed the same-solidly built aka I’m a thicc girl under it all no matter what 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love love looooove that I can see all the changes in my body, and not just be motivated by weight!! It’s really encouraging to see I lost a lot of fat this week and my body is in fat burning mode, not “just” water weight!

This is not the easiest program but not the hardest program I’ve ever done-but it is without a doubt the only one I’ve ever done that actually connects me with what’s going on inside my body and not hyper focusing only on numbers on a scale to the exclusion of the health and wellness of your body as a whole. It’s intense for 45 days, but it’s not telling me that I have to eat like this forever which is what most weight loss programs do. It’s phases and learning and actually customized to ME specifically which is something no other program I’ve ever done before has done!! (And I’ve tried like 15 weight loss programs at least maybe more).

So so so grateful for this program. ❤️

Jen's Before and Current

About halfway thru R1 (Phase 1) with my Restoration Wellness plan. Down 17lbs, which is crazy. I don't think I've ever lost more than 10lbs a month before, even when I was over 300lbs and ultimately lost 150lbs. It required a lot of thinking, planning, measuring, weighing, thinking about food all the time and being at the gym EVERY day. This is so much easier. I do want to get back in the gym, but on my time for my own wellness, not as simply a weight loss tool. But because I enjoy moving my body and being active. Completely different mindsets. My pics yet aren't as dramatic as Keith's, even though I've lost a few pounds more than him. But that's ok, enjoying the journey and progress not perfen and all that :) Starting Weight 262.4 Current Weight 245.4 (3 weeks progress)

Product Review

Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this

Weight Loss Challenge: Going Out To Eat

One thing that can be really challenging when you are in weight loss mode is going out to eat. When Keith and I lost almost 300lbs combined about 13 years ago, one thing that we were soooo strict about was eating out, and it really made so much of a difference. We did have a few places that were ok for an emergency, but overall we did not go out to eat for almost a year. The hard things about going out to eat in weight loss mode are this: When one eats out, you want to get the MOST value for your dollar. In weight loss mode, you want LESS portion (or more veggies to volumize) and quality food costs $$. I can make better things to stay on plan at home, so eating out doesn't have a lot of allure bc of that. Also usually when you are doing a weight loss plan, you are investing in it in SOME way. Whether that's a program for support, or certain/specific foods to stay on plan, etc. So if you don't go out to eat, you are saving money and able to put it towards things that help
