As part of another challenge I'm a part of, here are my goals for some exercise and meal plans:
Workouts - I plan on going for a 30-40 minute walk on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, along with 10-15 minutes of yoga/stretching after.
Food: my office orders lunch for us from various restaurants which is a great perk, but often leads to overeating/not always picking the healthiest choice. I'm going to plan the week and hopefully be successful 3/5 days.
Monday - I typically try to keep Mondays a low calorie day. I don't have breakfast or lunch, but I will have some almonds (usually measure 25-30g almonds a seving), a banana, and an apple if I get hungry. Dinner will be my leftover balsamic sweet potato, chickpea, and kale bake.
Tuesday - "breakfast" will be coffee with skim and a banana if I'm too hungry from my low calorie day. Lunch will be sushi (California roll and spicy tuna roll). Dinner I'm planning on making a Turkey Spaghetti Squash bake (I'll link the recipe at the bottom of the post - I'll probably change the spices and cheese up a bit). I'll probably have a tangerine while things are cooking. If I have a sweet tooth after dinner, I'll have four small pieces (I think it's 1/6 of the bar?) of Trader Joe's cinnamon chocolate.
Wednesday - breakfast is coffee with skim. Lunch will be a chicken quinoa burrito. If I get hungry after lunch and before dinner, I'll grab an apple. I go to trivia at a local pub on Wednesdays with my boyfriend, and this week I'll either order a full size spinach goat cheese salad *or* a french onion soup with a side spinach/goat cheese salad.
Thursday - breakfast is coffee with skim. Lunch will be roasted broccoli and a quinoa salad (with walnuts and onions). If I'm hungry between lunch/dinner, I'll grab a banana or almonds. Dinner will be leftover turkey/spaghetti squash bake. If I have a sweet tooth, I'll grab a tangerine, and if that doesn't satisfy it, I'll take another four small pieces of the cinnamon chocolate.
Friday - breakfast is coffee with skim. Lunch will be a turkey wrap (with some sort of cheese, probably spinach and roasted peppers). Dinner will be leftover turkey/spaghetti squash. I might make potatoes & onions since I have some that I don't want to go bad.
Posting this here for some extra accountability. My Monday is going pretty well so far!
Way to go . . .your goals sounds so good0 -

Goals/comments Kind of upset that I'm always on time for my PT session and they always call me in late but today I stood my ground said I'm leaving at 2pm regardless since my appt was at 1pm and at 140 they call me.
But the good news is I got a free SUMMER BOWLING PASSPORT from Groupon which means I can bowl for free 3 games a day plus free shoe rental. So guess what my new outlet will be for the next 12 weeks?? YEP BOWLING! I'm going to start off with Wednesdays after my therapy session and and Saturdays. To see how I do pain wise and hopefully by September I'll be in 399s so I can start swimming.0 -

But I didn't track my calories during the weekend and ate two cinnamon rolls with frosting. Last night, even though I was full I went downstairs and ate some chips, chocolate, and candied coconut. Why? Ugh.
I am starting fresh again today and have to still log in my breakfast, which I will do right after this post.
I do want to say that being part of this group is encouraging and I am still reading the posts. I don't know why I am not contributing more because you guys are awesome and such a great support network filled with sage advice and wisdom. Thank you for reading. Thank you you coming back everyday. It feels good to be in a group where people are committed to make their lives healthier and encouraging others to do the same.
Hang in there hugs0 -

Comments/Goals:
Hoping to get back on track this week. Eating has been off and I need to get my mind right before this retreat I'm going to this weekend. They provide breakfast, lunch and dinner and If I go with the wrong eating mindset I will fail. I may have to bring some of my own snacks with me. 49 days left to get to my goal!1 -
Daily Post: May 20th
Track: Yes
Calories under goal: Yes
Exercise: 12,350 steps
I decided to make sure and get extra steps today since I was low yesterday (feeling guilty maybe
)
One of my goals a few months ago was to build up my walking strength enough to where I can go on a weekend vacation with my neighbors. We plan to visit a historic old mental health hospital in WV (Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum). It was built during the Civil War era and closed in the 1980's. We also plan to visit a glass blowing facility as well as some other places. We are meeting Thursday to plan the trip for next month. I am so excited.

Went over my calories by like 10. Lol I actually did very well. And those 10 were burned off from all the running up and down stairs today. 😊 But I don't track that as exercise..... so I am "over".
But I definitely indulged in Chinese food and ate till I was full and I think I stayed in my calories.
My night time weight was very encouraging!1 -

@vicky2767 Great day!!
@tinak33 Nice day, I don't count exercise either, although I get a lot of it, I don't count it.
@Gadgetgirl259 Great day and walking the dogs is exercise!! I used to work overnight and it took me a while to adjust, hang in there. And nice loss!!
@digger61 Great walk!
@DeshotelK Nice day, great exercise!!
@CindyJNC1963 I think you've hit your goal, you wouldn't have been able to walk that much when you set that goal and you're consistently above 10k a day! That's amazing!
@aadubb Planning is your best defense, you can do this!
@gjaholy33 I think it's great you're starting to jump into activities like bowling, it's great start, and super fun!!
@o0kody0o Nice day!! Great job staying under and getting in the walk!
@SLIMn2016 Awesome job!! Killing it as usual!3 -
Daily Post (Monday, 5/20/19)
Track: Yes
Calories: Decent
Exercise: No
I probably should have gone for a walk or something after work today, as I had nothing going on. But I was still exhausted from my weekend of non-stop going. Did some much needed family time - we popped popcorn and watched some Masterchef Junior.3 -
Daily post for Monday
Track: yes
Calories: under
Water: did good, but want to start drinking more
Exercise: no - I chose to skip yesterday's gym session. The weather was wreaking havoc on my head (headaches, lightheadedness, etc.) and my ankle was tender (on my feet A LOT on Sunday). I'm glad I did. I'm actually feeling much better today - despite the continued bad weather. My goal has been to average 4 gym sessions a week - I can still do that this week, or even get in 5 if I go on Saturday! But sometimes your body just needs an extra day or rest.0 -
Happy Tuesday everyone1

I tried Julian Bakery Pegan Bars--- they weren't the best tasting, but the numbers are good & NuGo Slim Chocolate Mint--- it was ok-- kinda like a mint girl scout cookie. I have heard that Aloha Bars are really good--but haven't tried them myself. Vega makes a nice line of vegan powders--might try their bars as well.0 -

Trying to catch up on some much needed sleep. Recently adopted a 14 month old Australian cattle dog that has a lot of energy. Luna loves the water (my Paddle board buddy), hiking, frisbee and her favorite thing is to play fetch, which she is very good at. She is so active that she is keeping me very active!4 -
