I've been doing some arms with dumbbells and machines for years but never got serious about full body. Now in my 40's I realise how important lifting weights is as we get older and we start to lose muscle tone and bone density. I did a bit of research and found a fantastic YouTuber, Cheryl Coulombe or "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LiftwithCee" target="_blank">Lift with Cee</a>" (@ceelifts on IG). She targets exercises for over 40's and since she started lifting in her 40's and at 59 looked absolutely incredible and I was sold to at least try out her workouts. My biggest fear was not knowing where to start or injuring myself further.</p><p>So having said that, this is my 6 month account of doing her weight training videos. I have a lower back injury so I started with core exercises and followed her beginner lifting videos for the entire 6 months, deciding I would only start a new workout after the 6months. I could increase the weights if I felt like I need it though. She has some great introduction videos here too. I love that she talks about "fat loss" over "weight loss" since as we gain muscle we may not see a big difference on the scales but certainly will in how our body looks, feels and burns energy.</p><p>This is what my workouts looked like;</p><p>7 days a week - 8,000+ steps (Cardio), moved to 10,000 steps a day in October</p><p>2 days a week; </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>July - Started with Beginners lifting </li><li>August - Moved to Full Body Workout 30mins (these are great when I don't have time for the full 60mins)</li><li>September-December - Moved to 30min Upper Body + 30min Lower Body </li></ul><p></p><p>In the beginning I added in 3-5 days a week - 10 min Core exercises (Core) because my back needed the core strength. Probably for a couple of months I did this.</p><p>And here are the results by month (July 10 - Starting stats);</p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; width: 587px;">

As you can see from the results on paper though it doesn't seem like a dramatic change and with not much difference on the scales I see how one would get discouraged but the weight shifts from fat to muscle. I want to eat more and yet and not gaining weight, I definitely see the changes in my body, how my clothes fit, how my muscle is developing and how strong I feel. Bonus is my back pain has been diminished quite a bit. I'll do a 12month progress post but I'm definitely sticking with it. People have been noticing and commenting on how good I look. I definitely noticed the saddlebags diminished and my butt is higher from all the squats LOL</div><div><br /></div><div>Toward the end I found her "30-Min Full Body Workouts" the best option, three times a week ideally. Consistency is key and giving yourself a realistic goal like 6 months. I've even upped my weight a couple of times and am closer to the weights she uses in the videos.</div><div><br /></div>VegansHaveSuperPowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16872491914749386538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225698459970900849.post-47627511960620463032023-11-26T08:05:00.000-08:002023-11-26T08:05:47.576-08:00Purple Carrot - Meal Delivery Review<p></p><div> This is my "take 2" on the <a href="https://purplecarrot.com/" target="_blank">Purple Carrot</a> review. The first time around I didn't have the greatest experience but a year on I decided to try again and was pleasantly surprised that many of the kinks have worked out. I like to prepare meals myself so they are slightly cheaper than the ready made meals. This was always a temporary "over the summer" thing for me. It's still a little pricey, the cheapest the dinner meal being $11 a serve (if you get four servings). I decided I liked it so much this time that I ended up keeping it but trying to get it every second week. You can easily skip weeks.</div><div><br /></div><div>What I will say that I like is that if you opt for the four servings it still comes packages in two serve bundles so you don't have to cook all four servings at once which I love. I still love that they have the colored recipe book and don't have many pre-made ingredients so you can easily recreate at home on your own budget. I also love that they display the calories and nutrition at the bottom of each meal. Delivery was much more reliable than last time and there are plenty of GF options. </div><div><br /></div><div>I like the "pantry" option too so you can take on a couple things to make free shipping (over $100). What I thought worked best economically beside the four serve option was to skip every second order and in the order I was getting a couple of extra meals. It means I'm spending less per week plus ensured free shipping.</div><div><br /></div><div>My only real issue is that there is no Eastern hub so everything is shipped from the North West so by the time it gets to Florida I almost have to eat everything the same day because a lot of the greens are on their way out. I also hate the GF wraps, they crumble and are very average. I use my own store bought ones. They give you an occasion free box to send to someone which is great but they definitely should set up incentives for customers to recruit other customers. I've sent two free boxes to friends who became subscribers so it would be more motivating to give something back, Purple Carrot are you listening??</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhX5CbKpd6QA1JpB00pXghd9y2XG4pe-4rzReBB82nYhYLfXh_1VZur7FdKq5896uKt7YFnTiTO05M3_1CZsj4hGDsRlJfPkfjY35eh1to50joMgJAPkTOdntysAPo2BquUNiIo19fApCkoqYhDpzdACw8eonle0tCxwVnKBm3baUNWzCM8ty5HqrDcOI/s4032/IMG_6734.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhX5CbKpd6QA1JpB00pXghd9y2XG4pe-4rzReBB82nYhYLfXh_1VZur7FdKq5896uKt7YFnTiTO05M3_1CZsj4hGDsRlJfPkfjY35eh1to50joMgJAPkTOdntysAPo2BquUNiIo19fApCkoqYhDpzdACw8eonle0tCxwVnKBm3baUNWzCM8ty5HqrDcOI/w300-h400/IMG_6734.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhENXiunPfpN85UrXCkAhWDqwbo__MgNVh0zhWReoWi0uV9Qa6ujJvEcbgnrPnV3-C2XBotXNisnuLyT9Yb9-pTgvTdAi5sXGtDcIwG7rQXjnBupCBXQ-xIYcA8Z5GMpkCLRQcAqSg8dXaWtwXd8y1RCqf6s-ycHHEYXal5Z2Azh4PRH23-ytl14c8ksps/s2048/IMG_6952.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhENXiunPfpN85UrXCkAhWDqwbo__MgNVh0zhWReoWi0uV9Qa6ujJvEcbgnrPnV3-C2XBotXNisnuLyT9Yb9-pTgvTdAi5sXGtDcIwG7rQXjnBupCBXQ-xIYcA8Z5GMpkCLRQcAqSg8dXaWtwXd8y1RCqf6s-ycHHEYXal5Z2Azh4PRH23-ytl14c8ksps/w400-h300/IMG_6952.JPEG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqBr1wT4ZRxCJSIdGIJl34rXviajbbuP3cJdXMWnw6MVOUllPhWp5SlOxtD7-JIYzzA3VRf5cpTnigEPVtFXf45hC2s4PItSoptWf1Z0rVpR3SCcZNI60KqCaIVTjntwzqJOe7TFY-AXOYAm4KSgv0FfbZdXqK7xLKLEQF4h7oZp3d35PkCXIDq3ODZ_I/s2048/IMG_7525.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqBr1wT4ZRxCJSIdGIJl34rXviajbbuP3cJdXMWnw6MVOUllPhWp5SlOxtD7-JIYzzA3VRf5cpTnigEPVtFXf45hC2s4PItSoptWf1Z0rVpR3SCcZNI60KqCaIVTjntwzqJOe7TFY-AXOYAm4KSgv0FfbZdXqK7xLKLEQF4h7oZp3d35PkCXIDq3ODZ_I/w400-h300/IMG_7525.JPEG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>VegansHaveSuperPowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16872491914749386538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225698459970900849.post-32778988958871550272023-11-26T07:51:00.000-08:002023-11-26T07:51:48.431-08:00Thanksgiving 2023!<p> Thanksgiving 2023 already behind us!

In Australia labelling laws require wines to state whether they are vegan or not (by way of disclosing if any animal products used in the making of the wine). The hardest part in the States is finding out if it's vegan, and then if you do find one, finding a good one. Different states have different laws as well so there might be a great vegan wine in California that is not able to be sold in Florida. Florida is one of the strictest. The laws are there to give local wineries a chance but when the local wineries are either not good or not vegan then that's when I take issue.</p><p>Here are some wines (available in Florida at least) that hopefully will suit everyone's budget and taste! They are wines that I have tried and liked and that are available online from <a href="http://luekensliquors.com" target="_blank">Lueken's Liquor</a> or Total Wine. For some reason there are "Not sold in Florida" wines that are sold on the Lueken's website even though it's Florida based so look there first!</p><p>Not in Florida or can't find these wines in your area? <a href="http://Barnivore.com">Barnivore.com</a> is a database there to help locate vegan wine, beer and spirits. You can even contribute! If you email a winery and they give you the vegan green light, forward the email to Barnivore.com and they will add it. Another hot tip (you're welcome) is to download the wine list of any fancy vegan restaurants in your state - they've done the research for you so their wine list should already be vegan and somewhat available to the general public.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0oTqHhIG6R7niaRDlTKXj2DORDErMirVqb72WXFabomg71Qs230QPMmG7rO8g_lczZqSBJ5V7CQgxIylRSKW6cGxoagf-adTXDIJpsSPg0CQ8oI7LrOALH3SjSukuRfKH4HE6hAh72-Kem3e1mWKwSw_75nQXg31JWE8ag9UFB2_DB17zzOhP_RJELk/s2048/vegan-wine.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0oTqHhIG6R7niaRDlTKXj2DORDErMirVqb72WXFabomg71Qs230QPMmG7rO8g_lczZqSBJ5V7CQgxIylRSKW6cGxoagf-adTXDIJpsSPg0CQ8oI7LrOALH3SjSukuRfKH4HE6hAh72-Kem3e1mWKwSw_75nQXg31JWE8ag9UFB2_DB17zzOhP_RJELk/w400-h400/vegan-wine.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">White</span></u></b></p><p>Pouilly Fumé - Domaine des Berthiers, Jean Claude Dagueneau, Sauvignon Blanc, France 2020</p><p>Pinot Grigio di Trebbiano- Terre di Chieti, Impero, IGT 2019 – Italy</p><p>Sauvignon Blanc - CMS-Washington State, Columbia Valley – 2019</p><p>Chardonnay Organic - Gerard Bertrand – 2019</p><p>Gavi di Gavi - Tenuta Il Bergo DOCG , Piemonte, Italy – 2020</p><p>Rose – Calafuria Tormaresca- Salento IGT, 2020 – Italy</p><p>Rose Organic - Gerard Bertrand, Languedoc – 2020</p><p>Chenin Blanc - Baron Herzog, Kosher for Passover, 2019 – CA</p><p>Chardonnay - Alois Lageder Lowengang Estate, 2016 – Italy</p><p>Sauvignon Blanc - Domaine de Reuilly Les Pierres Plate 2017 – France</p><p>Petit Chablis - Domaine Louis Moreau Petit Chablis 2020 – France</p><p>Moscato D`Asti - Azienda Agricola Mustela, DOCG – 2019</p><p>Pinot Grigio Effervescent - Naturally Sparkling Organic Pinot Grigio, NO added Sulfites, Pet Nat, Spontaneous Fermentation</p><p>Chateau Ste.
