    Love seeing all the "Returnees" and "New Members".
    We can do this!

    What's your game plan for Easter management?
    DH is taking 2 kids to NYC to see family, while I stay home with the new puppy. She's not ready for non-baby-proof NYC and doesn't have all her shots yet so she can't go to the public dog run/public.
    I'm making them an Oreo-crust, salted caramel center, and chocolate garnache topping pie to bring to Easter brunch.
    Thank goodness it's not staying here, or else I'll eat it all.
    Hopefully the kids don't bring home too many chocolate eggs/goodies.

    I plan to do a lot of food prep for the week.
    My downfall is when I don't have edible-protein ready. So I like to make my favorite frittata muffins (full of protein and veggies), easy to warm-up/travel-size, and taco meat (which goes great with some fried eggs for breakfast, or salad/avocado/salsa for great lunch).

    But next week is no-cut week, where I get to eat at Maintenance. Wooohoo.
    Thinking of making this carrot cake for a dinner party next week:
    - no butter or oil
    - almost 1pound of fresh grated carrots
    - 2cups of almonds (=protein)

    Gosh, I want to eat both desserts right now.
    I've eaten all my calories for today, but I want to eat more.
    Going to bed soon.
    Taking it day by day...

    I had a great workout this morning.
    I was all patting myself on the back for doing 5x10 hip thrusts (on Smith because all the cage/racks were used) with 70# + bar.

    Then I saw one of my inspirations (soheefit.com) post her hip thrusts:
    https://facebook.com/video.php?v=645184748959087&video_source=pages_finch_main_video
    "Gettin' that booty strong with some barbell hip thrusts!
    3x5 at 205lbs, 215lbs, then 225lbs after heavy deadlifts.
    Glute work is my faaaaavorite"

    Wow:
    1. she's awesome, and
    2. I have a long way to go!!!


    ---> What's your favorite workout?
    ---> What's your favorite weight training?

    I used to like Deadlifts a lot, but right now, my Right knee is not happy.
    I'm liking Lat pull-downs because I'm making good progress. Trying to get back to my high of 100#. I'd like a nice back, ready for those tank tops for Summer.



    sellerskennington: "I won't have a gym, but i will have my tennis shoes"
    think prisoner workout (where prisoners don't have gym): use body weight for pushup and crunches, lunges, etc.
    walking = awesome


    jgrabowski: "kick it into gear again"
    Yup: let's do it!


    jlkermode: "extra gym time"
    Yup, hitting the gym again on Sunday
    (since there's no kids Chinese lessons - when I usually walk laps while kids are in class).



    Happy Easter!

    I'm in too..
    I've had a cold/flu on an off since November then went on holiday and put 7lb on, now starting to get lazy in my eating.. (that old chestnut).
    Sounds like a sensible challenge to get back some motivation.
    Good luck everyone x

    I'm a bit sad to say I had been at GW & UGW a scant month or two ago & I dreaded maintaining & I was right ! I spent the winter in RI & I really didn't realize the impact the bad weather would have on my fitness life . My social choices ( I was a guest at a family members home) were eating out & drinking out . No excuses , I learned a lot about how much effort it will be to maintain GW ( & I had a tremendous amount of fun!!) but home now & back on track !

    Welcome everyone!


    @EVILSB
    "hit the gym 5x per week"
    @porischpack
    "I struggle to find the time/motivation to exercise. I want to make longlasting lifestyle changes."

    For me, I finally lost weight when I FOCUSED on my eating, calorie deficit, and macros.
    My workouts have been about the same for the past 2years, and didn't lose weight until January 2015 when I took control of my eating.

    It's not just about exercise.
    I only work out about 2-4times a week.

    If you only have 1hr to exercise OR prep food (to have readily available nutritious/high protein food, you should definitely spend it to prep food.
    You always want to have healthy food available, so you don't have that "what should I eat" moments and grab chips/crap/fast-food because nothing else is available.

    Game on!
