    That's the the way todo it @Northern37 . .this week has been off for me ...can't seemto get a good handle on nothing ...I am trying to figgure out if it's due to my new medication or because I ended up not getting around to get my food prepped on sunday. Hope to get back in the eight state of mind this weekend to have a great new week next week !

    Here is to a new week @germany03!! I need to meal plan for the upcoming week but nothing is coming to mind. What meals do you usually plan/prep?
    I was up early this morning and did Upper fix. Started round 2 yesterday. I didn't take my measurements in round 1 but was down 4.4 pounds. I will take it. Hope you are all having a great weekend!!

    Lower fix is done and meals are planned for this week. It feels great to know what we are eating and it is so much easier then stressing out over what we are going to have. Hope you all have a super day!!

    Today I took the reigns back into my hands. I walked with my dog for close to an hour and burned more calories then I thought I would * according to my fitbit* My dog loved it and I feel great . .tired but great!
    Plan on getting the excersise dvds back out on tomorrow. Ate well today..not according to plan but well.
    @Northern37 I agree..it's so much easier to have meals prepped and not having to guess. This work week's lunch will consist of salads ( making it easy), breakfasts overnight oatmeal with alternating dates -cut really fine- and Chia seeds. I do add ground flex seed to both though. Snack 1 will be an apple or orange and snack 2 not sure yet ..maybe almonds? Or hummus and carrot/celery sticks/cucumber/tomato. For dinner I planned for have:
    1.tilapia and sweet potatoe,
    2.taco salad
    3. Ham steak with green beans & mashed potatoes ( for the men in my life :) )
    4. Shrimp scampi (for me on salad)
    5. Ground turkey mini meatloaf with brown rice or quinoa
    Need to get some more veggies in as sides but that's the easy part. Hope everyone has a great week

    Happy Sunday everyone. My workout is done. I upped one of my weights this morning and what a workout it was. Meals are planned for today and this week and I just have some veggies to prep. Weighed in this morning and was down 1.5lbs. That makes it 5.9lbs gone since I started again January 28th. it's slow going but at least I am losing. I hope you all have an awesome day!!

    Wow @Northern37 that is an impressive loss!. Happy to see the hard work is paying off for you.
    I'm eating well and it shoes on the scale. With my new meds I was finally able to break that plateau I was on by just eating well again. ( ir does make me wonder what I could do if I could just get myself back up and going ) ...today is a new day..weather is warmer outside...if it wouldn't be for that dang 4 letter word (w o r k) I could get out and about..haha. no seriously ..today is one of those first springish days...really would like to be able to take the dog out instead of going into an office ..haha.
    Hope everyone is having a fantastic and fit day !

    Hi everyone, been slacking on posting here this week. I am still on track with eating and exercising. I just did Upper Fix. No sleeping in for me, get up and get it done. I need to meal plan again for the upcoming week, seems like it comes by quickly. Hope you are all doing great!!!

    Yup another week another goal. Food is planned for the week...not prepped but planned and shopped for so it will be easy. Lunch will be easy this week. I planned for soup (had some veggies I needed to use before they go bad so I made soup out them) and salads with add ins.
    I found some bagle thins (yummy) and they are a great start as open faced breakfast sandwich - one side with ham and avocado and the other side with poached egg. Perfect breakfast and really filling.
    The weather has been awesome so I took a nice long walk with my dog today..I will count tjat as my excersise for today ;)
    Have a fab and fit week everyone.
