It's that time again already: Booster.💉🧑🏻‍⚕️

My last Omicron bivalent shot was early September 2022 to protect me over the holidays in crowded stores and while visiting my brother for Thanksgiving. This latest one will be for a trip I'm going on in 3 weeks. Every instance I've heard of getting Covid appears to happen following a vacation or from getting it from unvaccinated, school-aged infected children.

So like all the other shots, today I'm getting in a big workout just prior to the appointment and pounding the water. Had a mango for breakfast and lunch will be a big Thai cucumber salad (2 seeded cucumbers, shredded carrots, red onion, peanuts, sliced jalapeños, cilantro and a dressing made of rice vinegar with lime juice and a pinch of sugar).

Have a healthy day, Everyone!👁️🏆

Stepped on the scale this morning and it's holding at 132, so no change, though I'll try again tomorrow. Otherwise, I've plateaued here, which is temporary but annoying and I knew it would happen at some point. If it's not windy this afternoon, I may go for a rainy day walk, otherwise it's going to be an hour of dancing in the living room.💃🏻🎵

Figured out a way to eat pasta without going overboard: Thai noodle bowls. I boil up just 1.5 servings of plain spaghetti, then top it with edamame, red bell pepper, radishes, sugar snap peas, green onion, cilantro, peanuts, fresh ginger, and my homemade spicy peanut sauce. So much less salt, fat and calories than anything I'd get from a restaurant, and it resembles more of a salad than a noodle dish.

Hope everyone is getting some exercise and adhering to their food plan this weekend. Let's remember why we want to lose weight in the first place! 👁️🏆

Happy New Year's Eve 🎉

Final journal of 2022 is a report card of my efforts.

THE BAD:
Began the year at 128.4 lbs., ended at 132.8, which is a 4.4 lb. GAIN. As I was supposed to LOSE weight, this obviously deserves a Failing Grade.

THE GOOD:
I switched from a Vegetarian diet to Vegan/WFPB (Whole Foods Plant Based). ❤️I love it so much that I was able to stay faithful to it, and do not miss processed food at all. Finding a WOE that I don't feel tempted to cheat on is a major win, so I'm giving myself an A+.

Exclusively because of this change in diet, in 6 months I dropped my Total Cholesterol from 206 to 164, my LDL from 130 to 95, and my Triglycerides from 124 to 98. While my goal numbers for LDL & Trigs were lower, I still consider this drug-free accomplishment worthy of a B+.

Overall, I feel excited for 2023 and I'm committed to achieving all of my stated GOALS.💚💪🏻👁️🏆
