Incredible, Mari! You are on a roll again! (Love your new profile picture! What a cute couple .....and you look great! Onederland suits you!!!)
Thank you and I’m so sorry for not being active on here. I’ve been so overwhelmed with stuff here at home and I haven’t really had time to participate in my groups. Thank you for always having an encouraging word to say to everyone. You’ve been a great team captain.2 -

There is a lot of "being overwhelmed" going on in this group....I totally get it! You are still here and working hard, so all is good. Eventually life will settle down and we'll hear more from you!0 -
The results for May week #3 are in. Overall, the Big Butt Theory did not have a good week, but there were at least three ladies who did. The top three Big Butts last week were @Tracie_Lord (1.32%), @mari_moulin (1.21%) and @katevt78 (0.98%).
This is the last week of the May Challenge!! Let's all try to make it count!!!1 -
I will be posting the results for the Mini Challenge tomorrow morning. (Shocking, I know!) That gives you today to check in for Saturday.1

I wanted to start a discussion about struggling, and make it a Question of the Week. I thought maybe we could help each other, as one person's current struggle may be something that another has successfully overcome. So the question is, "What are you currently struggling with right now?" Or maybe you are currently on a roll, so "Is there something you used to struggle with, and if so, how did you overcome it?"0

So, I always struggle in the spring. We have a family farm supply business, so this time of year, when the crops are going in, my husband works upwards of 90 hours a week in six days.
My son, who lives at home, also works there, but his hours aren't quite as long! (Thankfully, the business has always been closed on Sundays!) So my responsibilities at home increase. I need to make sure the fridge is well stocked for grab and pack lunch foods and there needs to be a decent supper for them when they get home. (It doesn't have to be gourmet, I mean pizza will do, but there just has to be something!) Laundry, dishes, house cleaning, etc. I also spend more time down at the plant as there are, obviously, more invoices to file away. So I struggle with balance, and I struggle with being home alone in the evenings. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with everything I should be doing, that I end up doing nothing except eating everything in sight!!! (It sounds very lame when I see it in print!) I traditionally, as in always, gain weight in the spring!!! I thought I had it under control this year, but that first week of May and a week of hormones collided, and the perfect storm resulted, and I caved completely!
My next struggle is exercise. I had thought I would be rejoining the running group, but my bunions, which I have had for a long time, decided to be painful. It happened in the second week of April, when I decided to try running on the treadmill and a Fitness Blender video that had lunges in it. So, I gave up and just did some walking, but mentally I am torn. I really want to run again and it is constantly on my mind, but I feel it slipping further and further away. And last year I was doing a class at the gym that had a lot of high plank positions (push-ups, burpees, mountain climbers, etc.) and I hurt my shoulder. Felt like the rotator cuff. So now I am hesitant to do gym classes. That doesn't leave me with much....and it is frustrating! So, I end up doing nothing!! (There is a theme here!!!)
I think I have let my foot heal long enough, because yesterday I did a walk/run and it felt pretty good. More importantly, it feels pretty good today. Not perfect, so I still need to make a doctor's appointment...maybe there is more I can do for it.
Thanks for reading...I didn't know this was going to end up being so long!! But I did owe you all a bit of an explanation as to why I haven't been 100% present on this thread!4 -

If you would like to change your weigh-in day for the June Challenge, so you only have one day to remember, that can also be arranged!0 -

My pizza addiction!! Had it 2x this week...just got done meal prepping and tried some new recipes!I wanted to start a discussion about struggling, and make it a Question of the Week. I thought maybe we could help each other, as one person's current struggle may be something that another has successfully overcome. So the question is, "What are you currently struggling with right now?" Or maybe you are currently on a roll, so "Is there something you used to struggle with, and if so, how did you overcome it?"
