    Daily Post Saturday
    Track yes
    Calories under (but only because I worked out this morning)
    Exercise yes ( 60 minute pound class)
    Water about 70 oz

    Tonight my husband and I went out to celebrate Valentine's Day. I saved a ton of calories for tonight and worked out so I am under my goal, but definitely more than I would normally eat. It was wonderful to be out to a nice dinner. We have two very busy teenage boys and don't often get out alone! We must do that more often!!

    Calories: Yes. Under today and even had a really nice breakfast
    Exercise: sort of. Work on building a planter for 4 hours
    Water Intake: 50 oz -ish.

    Daily Post (Saturday)
    Day: Somehow, waaaay under my calories for the day, so way under MFP is yelling at me. I'm not going to eat any more, one, I'm not hungry, two, it's late and I need to get to bed so I can squat in the morning. If more days were like today, I might weigh less...but I'm not gaining, so...not soo bad I suppose.
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: Nope, rest for me. Saturdays are my rest day.
    Water Intake: 99 oz, well more, but after that I don't care so I don't track it.

    Daily Post for Sunday

    Track: yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: Yes, Running and Spin class
    Water: Over 100 oz

    OMG!!! HUGE NSV today!! I used to be a runner but have not really truly ran in over a year. Today at the gym I ran 20 minutes before my spin class to warm up, and 40 minutes afterwards to see if I could complete a 5K without walking. I did it!! I had to stop running due to hip problems but I felt great!

    Now confession time...I only ran because I ate Cheetos late last night but I put them under this morning's calories since I had already closed out my log yesterday. :D Totally made up for it today though. I am SPENT.

    (I'm totally going to copy this to my status :p )

    Good Morning Slimsons and Welcome to Week 3!!

    It seems like a lot of us are struggling right now and it's pretty common at this point in a new routine for it to get tougher as motivation is starting to fade but don't let it!! Imagine yourself a few months from now and think about how good it will feel when you're lighter and have more energy. Picture it (it's hard I know) but it helps me to think about what my end game is and the only way to get there is to do the work, hard as it is. You CAN do it and you ARE worth it!! Don't let others get in your way and don't let your inner voice tell you that you can't, because you can (even if it's baby steps).

    I am about to share something that I've never shared with anyone, and it's been a decision I've been trying to make for weeks now. This is something I can't even bring myself to share with family and friends since for some reason they all doubt me, still. (also I have trust issues and don't want people stealing my pictures to sell things without my permission, especially when this is alllll my hard work.) Also, on a side note, I'm not photogenic for some annoying reason and the second photo (I realize now that I was making a weird face, but was more concerned about how the shirt looked at the time) was me a few weeks ago when I had to get a new shirt for a job interview. It's a large, I was wearing a 3x when I started actually trying to get in shape in June of 2017. This first photo was taken by my mom 3 years ago when my niece was a new born at Christmas. I didn't know she took the photo and I found it last year when I was making a collage for her for Mother's Day and that was all it took for me to realize how far I'd gotten and I needed to make a change. And now here I am. I hired a personal trainer and that's been a life changing experience. She's really kept me going when I felt like giving up and then I found this group and my motivation has gotten even stronger. There IS strength in numbers and this is why I'm here everyday. I really hope sharing my story helps some of you who can't see yourself months from now, or even years from now, because I couldn't either and now I can't wait to see myself in another few months.

    Okay, enough about me for now, you guys are doing great, and I know we will only get better!!

    Current Weight: 187.4

    Not a surprise as I only made two workouts last week, and ate poorly. I got sick last week and fell apart. I'm still feeling lousy but I will eat better this week and at least get 4 workouts in, I may have to modify but the point is to keep moving.

    Have a great week everyone!
