    Exercise will boost moods for sure. I feel totally alive when I'm pumping iron or passing that 1-mile marker!

    I feel like it's been forever since posting here.

    Three days of no power due to snow storm. Because of that we've been eating out and the menu has been very carb heavy (and I haven't been keeping track of calories like I normally do). According to the scale this week I gained 1/2 a pound which I would like to think is all water weight due to the bloating I felt this morning.

    Oh well, I know I slacked this last week (and I had a big loss last week) so I'm not going to worry about it. Back on the wagon I go. Here's to next week and the loss that will come with it.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    That must be awful!

    You are very active. I'm sure it's water weight.

    Good to see ya back.

    wow, no power sucks, been there myself. Sorry to hear about the half pound, but it's probably water weight, like you said.
    Gonna be cheering for you all next week ! =)

    Sirloin with sweet potatoes and salad today.

    Another bad storm is suppose to be coming our way in the next 2days or so. Hopefully the power stays on but I'm not holding my breath. We have a generator but it can only power certain things. Being out in the country everything is electric including our well pump.

    Going to the gym tomorrow to get in some exercise before being snowed in.

    Meatballs with a rice, peas, carrots and corn mixture for dinner. Only did 35 mins at the gym today.

    A couple of nsv this week, fitting into a size smaller work pant and buying a sports bra in a smaller band size. Can't beat that!

    Meal sounds like a hearty, home cooked classic. 3 NSVs in one week! Unbeatable indeed.

    Are you snowed in right now?

    Not right now but the snow has been falling all night, not suppose to get really bad until later today. Ugh I hate snow.

    Your weight loss is so encouraging. I need to start some type of exercise. I'm sure that helps speed the weight loss process. Do you find it hard while fasting?

    It really depends on how far into my fast I am. 12-20 hrs and I do fine. The closer I get to meal time, the less energy I have and going too fast at a workout ( treadmil, arc trainer, ellipical...)will cause some minor cramps in my side. At that point I decrease the speed and go at it at a lower speed. I'm sure every body handles it differently, Give it a try and see.

    For now, just walking is plenty. Go VERY easy on that for the fastest losses. Some who are closer to their goals can up their calories and bring in exercise, but while at a sustained deficit for bigger loses, very little exercise. Of course, it depends on how far you have to go.
