Day 6 - Had a nice workout at the gym and did 55 squats while in the backyard watching the dogs play. I like to think I plan healthy meals every day...anyway, had a nice salad with chicken last night for dinner.

Day 7 - I went out to breakfast with friends. Went to the gym. I did leg presses there and debated calling them squats too but decided to be safe and have done 60 squats. So far today, I haven't found a reason to ask for help.

B-side. My family members in Florida have all checked in as safe. Here we had steady rain and some wind but nothing major.

Planned healthy meal eating out: fam took me to Japanese and sashimi is PERFECT for halal keto bariatric diet!! Had a brilliant time and was only mildly jealous of my daughter's veggie bento box (that General Tso's tofu is SOOOOOO good)

I don't know anyone in Florida or the islands but my prayers are for y'all!!!

Day 6:
I came to the astonishing realization that I was the biggest eater in my house (astonishment is CRAZY because that's why I am obesed right?)!. We have had leftovers from labor day still sitting in both our refrigerators! Prior to surgery, it would have been gone or at least gone and I would fool myself in thinking my hubby and the kids and I made the dent!!!!???
So "I asked my hubby for help" in continuing the healthy nutrition we have embarked on (he is very fit, never dealt with weight issues) to establish good examples for our kids and he says he's on board[emoji106][emoji106]
He laughed out loud when I told him my observation about food and me!![emoji28][emoji28]
I think he has been truly impressed with my staying on plan in light of my fad diets through the years!!

Exercise: 55 squats done!! I hope it gets more effortless [emoji26]

B sided question: I had to take a moment on this! We were literally just in the Bahamas beginning of last month on a Disney cruise!!! Seeing the devastation on TV has been very sad and difficult to watch! My kids/family have donated some money online for relief efforts. I don't have any family members in any area where Dorian is leaving it's devastation but moments like this beings an attitude of gratitude sharply into focus. I've also been floored by how Bahamians have risen to the occasion with fortitude and strength even those that have lost EVERYTHING!!!!
God bless and restore them swiftly [emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176]???????[emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120]

Day 8:
Never been happier from a rest from squats!!![emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

Listen to favorite music: was taking kids to girls scout meeting and one of my all time favorite songs came on coincidentally and I was jamming enough to embarrass my kids ( that's a victory)!![emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Day 8 - Rest day from squats! Went to the gym though. The only music I listened to yesterday was the crickets. I do love their song though.

Day 9 - Been to the gym, still need to do my squats. I read pretty much every day unless I'm super tired so that one is a given. I'll do my squats in between appointments - I get tired of sitting so this will help.

Have a great day!

I fell a little “behind” on squats this weekend. (Pardon my pun) I decided to update my main bathroom last week and it became a much larger project than I originally planned. Painting and priming burn a lot of calories though!

I take time to read everyday.

B-Side Question:

What are your Gluteus goals? ?

Day 9

40 squats done!! Getting a hang of these..

Read: reading is a lifeline for me. I read daily so got that done. Got home before kids were out from school and got my hour long alone time to read.

B-Side question: I have no idea what my gluteus goals are![emoji38][emoji38] It's never been an area of concern [emoji5][emoji5]
So we'll see..

September is now 1/3rd over, I have been following along, think I might stroll through the local mall; just stay out of the Food Court- and I'll be a Better Woman for it!

10. Well, I did get my 65 squats for yesterday done and my 70 for today. I did also get my exercise in and there was some walking involved so I shall count that as a walk taken. I will also probably do some walking around the front yard with the puppy when I get home for training purposes.

As far as my glutes go, I just don't want them to be flat. So far so good.
