I'm new to this thread, but I like the idea of sharing and the added accountability. So...
Yesterday, I met my diet goals. I have a menu that I go through each day, and yesterday I had to deviate from it due to time and being away from home (didn't plan that far ahead and pack my third meal for the day). I stopped by a shoppette on base and picked up something healthy to eat. I had to wing it, but I still got in healthy protein and fresh veggies! That was a win for me.
Also, I did two workouts and felt really good. Did an upper body circuit that my last personal trainer wrote for me. I hadn't done it in at least a year, so getting back into it was a little demotivating. I'm not nearly as strong as I was pre baby! Still, I did both circuits twice and felt pretty strong on it. It was a good workout. About an hour later I had my second Muay Thai class. Awesome! Learned 3 different checks with the legs and learned what it feels like to beat the CRAP out of my legs (shins, primarily) kicking the heavy bag. Did 4 rounds of kicks on the heavy bag. It was painful, but glorious! I'm excited to go back again tomorrow.
Today is a rest day for me. I'm at home with my daughter making a father's day present for my husband. DIY beer coasters. Tomorrow is leg day again followed by Muay Thai. BOOYAH.
ETA: I also researched gyms I can go to while we're on vacation in Washington (state) during July. Determined to make this a lifestyle, even on vacation!0 -

- Well under calorie goal to help mitigate today's overeating
- Double bootcamp (which will help me achieve first goal)
- Be mindful of the CHOICES I make in everything I do for the day
I wish everyone a great day and a moment (or more) of joyfulness and gratitude.
Achieved food and exercise goals. Need to work on the mindfulness.
A good day!0 -
Thursday's goal:
- hit calorie goal on a rest day.
When I achieve this, it will be the first time in a long time I've done it and by managing food intake alone. My body needs some rest after double bootcamp today!
Achieving it will show me I'm serious about hitting my August goal. .. and also this week's goal.
I can do this!0 -
Today I will log everything.
I will go swimming even though I don't want to.0 -

Little lower temps today. But I think back to upper 90's tomorrow. The asphalt is so HOT. I walked a little outside early and did indoor treadmill this afternoon to finish up my 10,000 steps.

Be ok with feeling hungry. It's just one feeling that doesn't define my day.
Salad before meals
Don't replace my exercise calories.0 -
Just for Today,
I will mindfully experience the physical effects of last night's doritos binge and ask myself why i'd ever truly want to eat another one in this lifetime.
I will log every single bite today. binge or no binge.
just for today, i hate food. i love food, and i hate food. i also know it's just a feeling, i'm allowed to have it, and it will pass.
here's to a healthier Thursday to everyone, including myself.0 -
