NSV! In May 2018, I started on a 9 Ball pool team with my husband, brother, and 5 more guys. Aside from then being a week out of gallbladder surgery, I would struggle to bend over to shoot and be hot and sweaty. I would be tired and crabby. Fast forward to now, and I can not only play my match easier, but I can practice for a few hours without being exhausted! I am definitely not the best player, but my I’m more excited of my victory of being much healthier!! Have a great weekend!! . . #fighttobeme #weightloss #nsv #nonscalevictories #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #9balltournament #pool #billards #weightlosstransformation #fitness #losingweight #fitnessmotivation #gym #healthyeating #workout #exercise #fitnesstransformations #motivation #healthylifestyle #healthy #fitfam #workout #fit #weightlossmotivation #health #healthyfood #goals #fatloss #nutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/BywVVo8net_/?igshid=7ifpkcyx58g6

Last week I was tested for 68 different chemicals to see what I’m allergic to. Basically it came back with adhesives and chemicals in shampoo/conditioner, hand/dish/body soap, makeup, contact lens solution, and hair dyes. Now the fun starts to figure out what to replace them with and see if my skin has a big difference! I’m really allergic to 4 chemicals (have hives on my back) and 3 caused mild reactions. For a total of 7. Basically, I’m really allergic to: Cocamidopropyl Betaine - foaming agent used in liquid soaps, dish soap, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, hair colorants, toothpastes, contact lens solutions. Also coconut oil. Idopropynyl Butylcarbamate - a fungicide and batericide also used as a preservative for wood/paint and cosmetic formulations. Colophonium - amber colored resin from pine trees used in adhesives, fabric, waxes, plasticizers, and protective coatings on glossy/photo paper. 3–Dimethylamino Propylamine - chemical in shampoos, liquid soaps, dyes, pesticides, binding agents, fabric softeners, and additive in fuel. Mild Allergic Reactions Phenylenediamin - chemicals in hair dye, henna Methyldibromo Glutaronitrile - chemical in cosmetics Propolis - bee glue, sealant, chemical in gum, car wax . . #fighttobeme #weightloss #allergytesting #allergyseason #allergies #allergyawareness #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #motivation #instafit #weightlosstransformation #fitness #losingweight #fitnessmotivation #healthyeating #workout #exercise #fitnesstransformations #motivation #healthylifestyle #healthy #fitfam #workout #fit #weightlossmotivation #health #healthyfood #goals #fatloss #nutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/ByiF5dNHIS0/?igshid=1aabrgjva60yk

I have done Keto for the last 1.5 years and it works for me. It doesn’t work for everyone - but with getting my blood checked every 3 months (mostly to check my thyroid), it has been working for me. I have also done IF (intermittent fasting) where I only ate between 10-6pm. That also worked for me. I have done my research and have talked to a nutritionist about OMAD (one meal a day). Essentially OMAD is eating your calories within an hour time and then not eating again until 24 hours later. Today I gave OMAD a try. I dirtied lots of dishes and it took me some good prep work for a meal that was larger then any meal I usually eat. It was hard to try to cook and eat my day’s worth of food in such a small time frame. However, almost 45 minutes later - I did it. Just over 1200 calories in 45 minutes. I feel insanely full but also accomplished! Here’s what I ate: 3 chicken tenderloins with cheese, 3 turkey bacon, 3 eggs with heavy cream, 4 mushrooms with cheese and bacon, 1 cup of cucumbers, and a handful of nuts. I also downed close to 32 ounces of water! Now before anyone makes a negative comment - I do what’s best for me. If it’s not the best for you - don’t do it. Find what works for you (everyone’s different) and just stick with it! Have a great day!! . . #fighttobeme #weightloss #keto #omad #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #motivation #ketojoutnry #ketodiet #weightlosstransformation #fitness #losingweight #fitnessmotivation #ketomeals #healthyeating #macros #calories #fitnesstransformations #motivation #healthylifestyle #healthylunch #ketorecipes #ketofood #ketochicken #weightlossmotivation #health #healthyfood #goals #fatloss #nutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/ByYNCwVnglr/?igshid=1kjebpmczyg13

I have had some weird allergic reactions lately. Especially with working out outside more. I never really have had allergies, and they say they can occur at any time. I went to the allergy doc today and they stuck 68 different things on my back to see what I’m allergic to. I go Friday (48 hours later) to have it removed, then see the doc on Saturday to learn what I’m allergic to. Until Saturday, I can’t do any exercises that make me sweat. I wonder out of 68 things, how many of them I’m going to be allergic to? Any bets??? 🤪 . . #fighttobeme #weightloss #allergytesting #allergyseason #allergies #allergyawareness #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #motivation #instafit #weightlosstransformation #fitness #losingweight #fitnessmotivation #healthyeating #workout #exercise #fitnesstransformations #motivation #healthylifestyle #healthy #fitfam #workout #fit #weightlossmotivation #health #healthyfood #goals #fatloss #nutrition (at DuPage Medical Group) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVSy8Ynv7O/?igshid=39ru9slrdc7p

I ran to @cvspharmacy to pick up a few thing before my coupons expired, and I found something new. @secretdeodorant has these new things called Freshies On-The-Go. Basically they are cute little travel sized deodorants for “those moments when you want a boost of freshness and protection”. With doing lots of outdoor workouts as it gets warmer, these will come in handy. I got “Paris Rose” and “Cool Waterlily” and both smell amazing! . . #fighttobeme #weightloss #secretdeodorant #summertime #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #positivevibes #allstrenghtnosweat #instafit #weightlosstransformation #fitness #losingweight #fitnessmotivation #smellpretty #freshies #workout #exercise #fitnesstransformations #motivation #healthylifestyle #healthy #fitfam #workout #cvspharmacy #weightlossmotivation #health #wisdom #goals #smellgood #onthego https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTKbFqHqn5/?igshid=1k4i9ml8o0pib

To have a great Monday, I went and did the stairs outside. I went later, because I didn’t feel like going. I went anyway. It’s 168 stairs up, 168 stairs down. There are people here of every size, age, athletic ability, etc. There are even some dogs too! No one judges and no one makes you rush - you complete them at your own pace. If you need to take a break against the railings, others with go around you without judgement. If you go a little slower down the stairs, they will wait or go around you effortlessly. I put my headphones in, did my sets, got back in the car, and sat for a second while the cold air reduced the redness in my face - and realized it wasn’t even noon and my workout was done for the day!! . . #fighttobeme #weightloss #motivationmonday #quoteoftheday #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #motivation #mondaymotivation #swallowcliff #weightlosstransformation #fitness #losingweight #fitnessmotivation #empower #mantra #workout #exercise #fitnesstransformations #motivation #healthylifestyle #healthy #fitfam #workout #inspire #weightlossmotivation #health #wisdom #goals #instaquote #selfimprovement (at Stairs At Swallow Cliff) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRFljOHk-V/?igshid=zjryi6o5v7jr

I’m not a fan of summer or the sun (I burn really easily) and winter while snowing is more of my happy season. However, with the nicer weather, I love the option for different types of cardio. It keeps things from being boring! I went with the hubby to @brookfieldzoo. We had a gorgeous day and walked about 3.78 miles while enjoying all the animals and their newest exhibit, “Brick Safari”. It’s animals made out of LEGO bricks on display - and that was pretty neat. Also because of the nice day, a lot more of the animals were active. We kept it healthy by eating breakfast before we left and bringing in frozen water to keep us hydrated. The healthier and stronger I get, the easier time we have making our way around the zoo. 1.5 years ago, I wasn’t able to walk more then one area and have to keep taking breaks. Today we saw the entire zoo easily. We have an annual membership so we will be going there more often! . . #fighttobeme #weightloss #zoo #brookfieldzoo #weightlosssupport #weightlossjourney #motivation #walking #bricksafari #weightlosstransformation #fitness #losingweight #fitnessmotivation #stepgoals #outdoorexercising #workout #exercise #fitnesstransformations #motivation #healthylifestyle #healthy #fitfam #workout #legos #weightlossmotivation #health #weightlosspic #goals #fatloss #chicago (at Brookfield Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNjQBOnD0a/?igshid=1h1qok53h0joq
