@sleepymom5 - wow great weekend for you! Great job!!! And you had fun too!!
@cyndiesstuff - awesome meal prep!! Looks yummy!! Hope today is a good day - I am at work but hubs has the day off.
@Mrsbell8well - ok what was that website again for your new way of eating? I should really look into it. I hate with age comes so many issues with our bodies. But it's years and years of inflammation which we need to stop now!!
We had a fun weekend, big birthday party with everyone and I had fun cuddling with babies. Little Owen who is 6 weeks old was studying my face and making those cute baby faces. He was very content getting to know grandma! Not much steps yesterday but fun rocking those babies
Hope everyone has an amazing week (and Monday!!)4 -

WTH... I couldn't do 95 more?!?!4 -
Way behind on posts... Hubby has been monopolizing my time with his latest project so I haven't been on here much. We're building a barn which seems like a daunting task but the quote to have someone do it for us was insane. I have zero skills in this area so I'm probably more of a hindrance. My father in law is coming down for a couple days to help so I'll have 2 man children to feed. I'm trying to plan hearty but healthy dinners this week.
Today is our neighborhood ladies luncheon. Its at a sports bar type restaurant which is a little odd but probably about all that's open today. These luncheons used to be an excuse for me to eat something bad but the new me is perusing the menu for something healthy. And I already have an excuse ready when asked why I'm not drinking! Yay me!
So... I need to clean house, do laundry, shovel our daily snow and make time to exercise before the luncheon so gotta run. Oh and its 4 degrees so a dog walk is probably out of the question.
Wishing everyone a great start to the week!7 -
Daily Check in for Sunday
Food Logged & over by 115
Water 800ml
Exercise - physio & 8707 steps
Had some friends over last night & drank some bubbly, which resulted in going over on the calorie budget. I usually avoid alcohol as it is so many calories, but it was fun to hang out & sip some good stuff!
@cyndiesstuff & @Mrsbell8well - those veggies look delicious!
@sleepymom5 - Congrats on having a fun weekend & staying in track with your goals!1 -

I ate a lot of sugar and had too many snacks that were high in carbohydrates. I am so thankful that I stayed the same. We have one more week for this month and I am hoping to be logging in with a loss. Going to a women's retreat Thurs - Sunday and there will be lots of snacks there as well as pizza and eating out at least once. Going to need to stay focused and drink plenty of water.2 -

Dear All,
Apologies for my absence these past 2 weeks and for the impact my gain has had on the team stats. It is the result is the culmination of two weeks of badness. I have been really struggling with motivation since getting over my man flu. A few things have happened over the past few days. Firstly I have realised that I have only 8 weeks to go until I do Sheffield Half Marathon and I need to start training. My mum has been calorie counting and lost a stone. If that doesn't inpsire me to get moving nothing will. I have been doing a declutter of the house Konmari style and I feel so much lighter so now I must do the same for my body. I am going to set msyelf the following goals to get me back on track. Over the next 8 weeks I am aiming to lose 2lbs a week and will eat and exercise towards this aim:-
the workplace sugar ban is back
eating 3 square meals and 1 snack (no grazing)
sticking to my training schedule
lots of water.

I was good this weekend with food. Made a yummy chocolate cake on Friday and limited my self to one slice per day in place of other snacks. Stayed close to my calorie goal - probably a little under with the exercise calories added back in.
@Mrsbell8well have a great first day on your job tomorrow
@amsandos you have a good plan - be good and stick to it

We made it home and unpacked. Doing the first of many loads of laundry. Groceries and meal planning done. Getting ready to settle in for some time relaxing on the couch. Excited to have my food scale (and my person scale for that matter) back!
@eminater - Awesome progress further into ONEderland!
@amsandos - Love the fact that you made such a detailed plan. Glad you are part of the team, no shame in being here during gains. We can all learn from and be inspired by your journey.
@bmaison2014 - Great progress. I also find success in logging all my foods and trying to move more. I have not really focused on water intake yet. Do you find that particular piece helpful? How so?
@nstephenson01 - Love the fact that you identified a struggle but found a way to plan differently and still enjoy that time with the neighbors. Awesome! How did it turn out in the end?
@sleepymom5 - Awesome to hear your weekend went so well. Sounds like your plan went very well. I love a good plan!
@CassieGetsFit2013 - You has a big loss last week. When I see such a big drop. I usually get a slight increase in the following days to weeks. Great overall process the last few weeks. How did you like the yoga you had planned a few weeks ago? How are you doing?
@Cafelelia - I started working on tidying our house and we made good progress, but it stalled out. I need to make a plan to get more movement again. Congrats on completing yours! I am going to try to follow suit soon.
@Shirin_K - I love meal planning and target. Made me jealous reading that. : )
@cyndiesstuff - Love the fresh produce. Yum!
@Mrsbell8well - Glad to hear you are feeling better so fast. Interested to get further updates about your new eating plan in the days/weeks ahead.

Feeling bloated today with all the sodium from the fried chicken. Ugh. It was delicious, but I'm paying for it.
Edging in on about 90 oz of water today, so hoping to flush out the water weight. Hubster is making me a small salad as I type. It's a relief now to be able to say that I know what has caused the slight gain and that I know how to address it. That alone is so empowering, and it gives me motivation to keep moving forward instead of just giving up or freaking out.
@bmaison2014 CONGRATULATIONS on your promotion!!!
@Mrsbell8well I'm a size 10 right now, but I wrestled myself into a pair of size 8 skinny jeans the other day. But 10s fit without creating a muffin top. I was wearing some 12 dress pants to work today and they were practically falling off - It was frustrating in the most wonderful way.
@Cafelelia We did a big clean up of our bedroom and living room this weekend. It feels like I can breathe easier now!5 -

@phoebe112476 I notice the days I drink a lot of water I do less snacking and drink less coffee. I don’t crave sodas or sweet tea like I use to. I only have one occasionally and after a few sips it’s way too sweet.3
