Well I've been doing couch sit-ups during commercials. Also my version of couch aerobics. It's something.
Played dubs earlier today for a bit more exercise.
Completely agree with starvation mode. I believe I've experienced that. Ultimately, fewer calories in helps reduce weight. My two cents anyway.

Sounds like everyone is doing great with keeping active. Way to use it so you don't lose it!
Barely won my match this evening. Had I known how many calories I was going to burn, I might have eaten a bit more today (and probably should have)! At least I didn't eat too much! Well, time for bed so I can get up and get a walk in before work in the morning to keep up with my two-a-days. Good night and much success to all of us!

Check in - Day 46 Thursday
Had tennis clinic with only 2 of us instead of usual 4 so lots of running! Came home and cleaned the back yard, ran errands, etc. busy day!
Nutrition: My mother always told me, "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all!"
Day 2 - weekly 12
crazychicken - Sweet way to get in some fun exerciser and keep things mixed up!
Naomisds - Congrats on the win! Doesn't matter how you start, it's how you finish! Hey, we can all use that here, right! Great job on nutrition too! Will you be the next Queen???
Keep rocking it ladies!

Checking in day 46
crazy chicken lol If I could be a fly on your wall for the couch aerobics
Naomis congrats on the win
intotennis: I saw a pic of you and SN and you can clearly see that you've lost weight! Your face is much thinner and you're looking hot
I took my own advice (for once) and got my bones and am brewing up my own beef bone broth. I roasted my bones and veggies first, so we'll see how it turns out (have to simmer it for at least 24 hours and as much as 48). I have it in my pressure cooker/crockpot. I can't keep up with $7 a bottle and drinking 1-2 a day.
Someone asked me what it was good for: it is awesome for your gut or any stomach issues and it repairs it. If you're prone to the Big D or anything else, this is what you want to be sipping on.

day 3, week 18
Had a crazy busy day with no time to even grab a snack until 1:30. 7 am this morning I had to take a friend to the emergency room and sat there until they released her at noon. She is OK thank goodness but I completely missed breakfast and lunch. I had to rush to bowling where I missed the first game but got in the next two. Got home and ate a can of sliced carrots, pudding cup and half a banana. Ran to the dentist for a quick visit and then golfed from 3 till 6:30 pm. Finally had a good dinner of meatloaf, sweet potatoes, and peas. Just got done doing my shoulder exercises before seeing the PT tomorrow. Wow, glad today is over. Should sleep well tonight.0 -
Mary, you will have to tell me more about couch aerobics! They sound awesome!
Kathy, I'm glad you didn't pass out!
As you know, I have been faithful to doing my two-a-days all week and my reward for my efforts is...a blister! It's always a blister, always the right foot, always the fourth toe. Not sure what I keep doing wrong, but I am not going to let it stop me! I'm going to bandage it up and exercise twice again tomorrow! Plus, I have kept my eating under control all week so at this rate, I should be skinny in no time! Lol!
As always, keep pushing forward, everyone, and good night!1 -
Checkling in
I kept meals under control, had a salad at a party, drank 3 nice size glasses of wine, and brought my own dessert ( 2cookies that I ate on the way home)... I took a meal that I knew would not sabotage my efforts or cost me tomorrow. I had planned ahead. (salad with protein and 2 cookies for dessert).
felt nice to get out of the house and away from the responsible life.
Calories say good job, but am super full and the wine buzz says you're a naughty girl...
I thought I was prepared, we'll see ....
Happy Friday all and enjoy your weekend, make smart choices.

I came in under my calorie goal again. Planning to play singles twice tomorrow so maybe I can afford a small treat. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to hear from you all again soon!

day 4, week 22
I'll check in early today before I doze off for a well needed nap. I got run ragged this morning playing singles. Really felt the exhaustion set in the final tie break.
mommabeare - really great how you planned for the party and what you were going to put into your body. It was nice to enjoy friends and make responsible choices with all the food and drinks. You are doing well!!!
naomi - so proud of you succeeding with your two a days this week. I knew when you set your mind to something that you would do it!
To all you die-hard football fans - enjoy your games but beware of the easy to grab football watching junk food. Make smart choices and good luck to all your teams.
Cubbies are playing tonight- first game against Dodgers!!!!
Polish Club dinner/dance tomorrow - menu has polish sausage (which can't be very healthy). I'm going to have get on the dance floor for every one of those polkas they play.
Everyone is doing great - keep it up!!!1 -
Check in – Day 47 Friday & 48 Satuday
Friday: Didn’t do any “exerciser” on Friday but, was up early and cleaning the house and back yard for a party. I literally sat down for only 1 hr after cleaning before I had to get ready to party; I know I burnt some calories!
Saturday: Played about 2 and ½ hours of tennis singles, lot’s of running! (I’m officially pooped!)
Nutrition: Really didn’t eat much at all on Friday to busy running, not the best choices either but, should be under calories today. Plan on taking it easy today and starting tomorrow back to logging food and making better choices. (I have to clean out the frig of all the goodies everyone left me but, there’s lots of veggies too)
Day 2 – Weekly 14
Mommabeare – You’re my new best friend & thank you! Did I tell you I love you! Lol I’m not sure I want to try the bone broth but, excellent job on planning ahead and controlling yourself at the party. Sweet!
Kathy – Crazy day and I'm glad your friend is doing better; sometimes life gets in the way so we just have to do the best we can at that moment. Excellent job on still doing your shoulder exercises after a long day! It was a very tough day on the courts today but fun; enjoy your nap!
Naomisds – Awesome job on keeping your goal but stop abusing your little toe! Super job on keeping your calories under, toughest part for me ! Playing singles “twice”, you’re a rock star!!!! (enjoy the treat, you’ve earned it!)
Keep kicking butt ladies, you’re doing awesome!

Happy Saturday!! Today has been so busy! I took a PiYo class this morning. It was great! The instructor offered up 30 minutes before class as a quick instruction to the moves so I wouldn’t be lost the entire class, so I had a great 90 minutes workout. The rest of the day was cleaning, weeding, playing soccer with my son, Keto pizza for dinner and now I’m on the couch, just popped some Aleve, and ready to relax. Hope everyone is having a good day!0

Checking In:
Everyone seems productive and very aware of the choices and consequences. Isn’t that what this is all about- Being aware.
Kathy, Naomi, Into, giggle, you guys are really setting a great example on staying active. I love how open and putting pride aside we are about our success and failure, but not quitting.
If I even start talking myself out of exercising, I see you’re checking in and say- if they found the time, I surely have the time!...kathy found couch aerobics... great example of ‘how bad do you want it’
Halloween is coming up and all that leftover candy... start your game plan! I am buying candy that is gf and bit size, so I know if there are leftovers, it will be ok if I have one a day... sounds like bite size snickers for me...1 -
After playing singles twice in one day, I am exhausted! Shouldn't I also be skinny now, too?
It sounds like everyone is doing great, but I am too tired to comment further at the moment.
Keep up the good work, everyone, peace out, and GOOD NIGHT!

Am I the queen again yet???0 -
And!! Drum roll please!!!
The queen this week is Naomisds! Congratulations on kicking butt! You've set your goals and have stuck with them! Super job so enjoy that crown! 2 -
Check in – Day 49 Sunday
Played 2 hrs of tennis fun & went to the driving range with hubby for about 45 mins. Scheduled rest day for P90X3
Nutrition: Back to logging and should stay under calorie goal.
Day 4 – Weekly 4
Giglqueen - Super happy your enjoying your classes, that should help you in the long run! Nice job finishing the day with more moving and grooving!
Mommabeare – Love your consistency of checking in, supper motivating for us all! My “trick” for Halloween, is I buy candy I don’t like (that much,lol) it helps!
Naomisds – Playing singles twice in one day is amazing!! Unfortunately “skinny” doesn’t happen over night! Keep focusing on your goals and making healthy choices and before you know it, a beautiful side effect will be a smaller, health version of yourself. PS: This week, I’m coming for that crown!
Keep pushing forward ladies, it's a new week!!!!1 -
day 4, week 4
I probably ate too much at the Polish Club dinner, a link of brautwurst, roasted potatoes, and loaded up on the carrots. Finished with a chocolate cupcake with icing. I tried to dance off as much as possible with some polkas, waltzes, line dances, macarana, hokey pokey, and cupid shuffle. I'll do my stretches after the Cubs game. I got a lot of tennis in yesterday but will be off the court for a few days now so I'll try to get to the fitness center.
My community is all 55 and over so we never have any trick or treaters and therefore no reason to buy Halloween candy. Whew!!
intotennis - getting in tennis and golf in the same day is a great way to work those back and shoulder muscles.
naomi - congrats on queen for the week. You deserve it with sticking to your two a day goal.
Hope all of you that haven't posted lately are hanging in there and doing your best. Love to hear from you all!!2 -

Checking in!
Last week was awesome scalewise. Then the weekend happened. Will get back on track.
Let's do it this week.2 -
Check in – Day 50 Monday!
Hubby worked all weekend & had the day off so we played over 4 hours of golf that was cart path only so lot’s of walking!!! Did not complete my P90X3
Nutrition: had a big salad with grilled chicken so had to guess at calories, did have 3 bites of artichoke dip but, over all not to bad.
Day 3 – weekly 6
Note: adjusted my count from yesterday. After I completed my day, hubby made popcorn and I had a small bowl so was over on my calories. I do not want to eat my exercise calories back so need to tighten it up!!
Kathy – Your dance and dinner sounds like a win/win in my book!!!
Mommabeare – not much of a check in, lol and I don’t understand, "drops the"??
Naomisds – You’re doing excellent with your “two a day” hope the nutrition is as awesome as you need extra fuel to keep you killing those workouts! Keep rocking it my Queen!
Crazychicken – Awesome job with the scale and I’m sure you’ll do awesome again!
Have a great week ladies!

Happy Monday peeps!! I am still super sore from my PiYo class Saturday. I was trying to get to a Zumba class tonight but I got stuck at work. My food has been awesome and I’m super proud of myself. My scale didn’t move but I hope I’m just holding water in my sore muscles. I’ll check again next Monday morning. Hope everyone had a great Monday! 0

Checking in
IT was suppose to be drops the mic (picture of a microphone) but guess it didn't go through.
I had a heavy lunch, so was planning on fish for dinner, then hubs comes home and says let's go out.... which is rare.... so we went to Black Angus and OH MY OH MY!
I did the 12 oz ribeye with bacon/blue butter
loaded baked potato
salad
*no bread, 1/2 the potato-just the insides lol, 1/2 the steak, 2 bites of pilaf, all of the salad and ranch dressing-no croutons*
It was a doozy, I know I'll pay for it in the morning, but will make sure to hit the gym to counter it. I had something other than water for once. 1 glass of tea sweetened and 2 glasses unsweetened.

Howdy troopers. I've been sticking with working out, but not posting. However honestly I'm cheering when I browse through the activities you ladies post. Thanks for keeping me motivated.
Did someone say polish sausage?1 -
CC2017 - Love your attitude!
Intotennis - Way to keep up your activity!
Giglqueen - Great job with your workouts and your nutrition!
MommaBeare - Way to NOT clean your plate and good plan to hit the gym!
Kbranch75 - Good to hear from you again and learn that you are still pushing forward!
KathyNKCSD - Love the dancing! Sounds like a much more fun way to burn calories than to go for a run!
I wasn't able to do a two-a-day today due to an extra long work day, but I did get a walk in before work and then did a little work around the house this evening. Will be back to my two-a-days tomorrow. In the meantime, I managed to stay under my calorie goal today just barely! Going to try to get to bed soon - - earlier than usual!

Happy Taco Tuesday!! That’s me wanting tacos, but a grilled chicken salad it is! I just got finished with my TurboKick class and I’m sweating like a pig! My nutrition today was great and I’m just trying to get more water in. I think I’m doing pretty good, I had to get up at 3 to use the restroom1
-
Check in – Day 51 Tuesday
Played over 3 hours in a tennis match and I’m pooped! Didn’t do P90X3 but, I’ll do two tomorrow to catch up.
Nutrition: 1st half of the day great, 2nd half not so much, still in a food funk but, I'm working to getting better!
Day 3 – weekly 9
Giglqueen – Awesome job on nutrition, that is the hardest part for me! Don’t worry about the scale, if your sore & your nutrition is good, that scale will change! Keep kicking butt!
Momabeare – Glad you enjoyed your dinner and hope it didn’t get you to bad the next day, keep up the great job!
Kbranch – Great to hear from you! I knew you’d be killing your workouts but still check in, we love to hear how you’re doing and it helps to motivate knowing your doing it right!
Naomisds – sounds like you got your “two a day” to me! Walk before and after – 2! Awesome job with the calorie goal too! Excellent job my Queen!

Early check in
I ran to the gym, ran a little at the gym, hit the weights on lower body, and rows for my back. Walked home. I know the leftover steak and potato took most of my calories, but someone had to eat it...
I countered it with some salmon for dinner.
I sure liked it when I was on ketogenics and didn't have to count calories or worry when I used good fats. I noticed that carbs are starting to make me hungry and I am starting to not be satisfied... might toy with keto tomorrow and see if I really am more productive with keto than calorie counting.
Be blessed all and use the tape measure, not the scale 1 -
Pumpkin bread is getting the best of me!1

day 4, week 9
Checking in while I watch the Cubbies play. We need a win!! Had PT this morning and went to the fitness center this afternoon to put 35 min. on the elliptical and do some leg machines. Calories are down thanks to being on a soft food diet plan right now thanks to my dentist. I'm thinking a small bowl of vanilla ice cream might get on there before hitting the hay tonight.
mommabeare - steak and potato doesn't sound bad to me and I love salmon too. I am going to have to google ketogenics because I have no idea what that is.
intotennis - I know you love your P90X but I think you rocked your workout today on the court.
gigiqueen - Way to go taking salad over tacos. It sounds so great the variety of workout classes that you are participating in. You must be working all different muscles! Keep consuming all that water.
naomi - you're doing great with your exercise and attitude!!
kbranch - I know if I ever hit the running track I'm sure to run into you or should I say wave hello as you pass me.1 -
Sounds like the food side of things is going all right and the activity side of things is going great for everyone! Keep persisting, everyone, and eventually we will all attain our goals!
