I'm pretty sure I actually have a copy of the homemade formula I was given (written out by the hospital) as well as Tims. I never really pushed it asking mom why she didn't breastfeed. Maybe having 4 and 8 year old boys at home didn't help. And it's interesting because Tim would have been a very unusual baby (severe physical birth defect that not a lot was known about)
I'll try and dig them out when I come back from camping next week.

Doing well now that it's warm and the veggies are abundant. I am down 1 lb. It's all about what I am eating!

Workout this morning - all cardio - jumping jacks, punching, oblique dips, mountain climber, pretend jump roping, and a bunch of other things. The class ended with a 30 second plank, which is easy for me - my inflexibility is not a detriment to planking!
Food plan for today:
Coffee sans dairy water eggs with garlic & spinach for breakfast apple & almond butter am snack big salad w/salmon for lunch banana smoothie for pm snack turkey burgers with zucchini for dinner
ETA: got lazy and made turkey tacos instead, and just served it on a salad that included zucchini. Also, never had my PM snack because I didn't feel like I wanted it.

It was lower body strength training today and it was not a great workout for me, since my legs are two different lengths and my left hip doesn't work, squats are not great for me. I ended up doing squats on the wall, which always feels great for me, but I'm already really sore from trying the other exercises.
Food: Breakfast: Yogurt with nuts and seeds am snack: banana lunch: 3 egg omelet w/tons of spinach pm snack: guacamole w/multi-grain tortilla chips dinner: zucchini pasta with a garlic sauce and sun dried tomatoes

I haven't updated but I've been going to the gym every day Monday-Friday.
Monday: HIIT Cardio Tuesday: Upper Body Strength Wednesday: Cardio Thursday: Lower body strength Friday: Kickboxing cardio
Cardio is really part of every day, and we end every class with a plank. The first two weeks were a 30 second plank, I'm in the third week now and it's 45 seconds, and every two weeks it will go up by 15 seconds.
Have been following the nutrition plan except for including dairy since I tolerate it fine. I've lost 3 lbs.

I stepped on the scale this morning while still in my jammies and saw 180.00. So I got out of my jammies and weighed myself without clothes and saw 179.6. This is the lowest weight I have been since 1997. My goal weight is 165. I'm getting close. I think the carb cycling I started with the nutrition plan is a factor, because this is almost 3 lbs less than last Sunday.

I lost 8.5 lbs during the 10 week challenge (which was my goal), now I'm in the legacy program. Same workouts but also an update to the nutrition plan, there are a couple of choices and I opted for the plan that includes carb cycling, so no carbs on cardio days, carbs only on day with strength training.

I've mostly been working out at home just because my work schedule has been pretty insane for the past 4 weeks, but I ventured into the studio yesterday evening for an upper body strength workout, and it felt really good until I overextended my right leg getting into a standing position after doing 28 pushups. I prefer working out at the gym but I may stay on my feet when I go later today. Although I do love planking, where my inflexible body works *for* me instead of against me.

I can't work out aerobically for the time being - no or super low impact only. I'm doing some upper body work with weights, and I still take the dogs out for walks, but shorter loops around the neighborhood. I'm also doing a lot of training with the dogs (really, with Bubba, because he's so eager to please....thinking of having him day board by himself on Saturday and work with Oscar on obedience - he's a calm dude, but does not listen to commands).
I have stayed in the same weight range (btw 172-175) for a couple of months now - so close to my goal weight! I am keeping up with healthy eating with a treat meal once a week. I've noticed that I have to pee a lot more since most of what I'm eating is fruits and vegetables.
