This is my journey to become a healthier me. It began on January 26, 2010 and stalled out... I got a type 2 diabetes diagnosis on March 30, 2022 and started to focus on my health again. On November 8, 2022 I added Ozempic to my toolbox to help me shed some pounds and inches!

45 Strong Challenge: Day 33

 Still tired today even though I managed to go to sleep a little early. Although I realized why yesterday's strength workout was tougher. I forget sometimes that where you are in your cycle (if you have one) can really take a toll! I guess that's why it was harder to lift!

So I figured I'd start off today with some carbs because I really need the energy. Breakfast was absolutely delicious- I had a serving of Kodiak chocolate protein pancake mix and I added cinnamon and 1 tbsp ricotta to punch up the protein a bit. Then I cooked it until crisp in my waffle iron (they really don't need that tbsp of oil to be waffles!) and topped with a sliced banana and 1 tbsp maple syrup. It's still got protein, but it was just what I needed to get started today.




It's going to be a busy day, and I've got to go to the evening gym class because of my work schedule which I don't love. I'm betting I'll be pretty burnt out by the end of the day. At least tomorrow is my active recovery day!

Sooo close to the end of the challenge. I can make it! Then what? I'm not sure. I'll still have the unlimited membership for now. I still want to keep working out- most of the time it feels good afterwards. The times it doesn't? Well that's what willpower is for.

Well, definitely needed the willpower today. I'm so tired! The workout was really tough. You know when the trainers are being nice that it's a hard one!




I did:

  • 94 minutes of walking and 40 minutes at F45 for a total of 134 active minutes. Today was a hybrid workout called Apex. I think Apex was around before but I'm not sure I ever did this class.
  • drank 3 litres of water
  • did my dental care
  • 15 minutes of Spanish on Duolingo.
