    @j0d13mcc~ ๐Ÿ‘ŠLook you up and ๐Ÿƒ walking about. Yeah!! You deserve a nice and fun day out. Happy for you. :D
    @MaelynMayhem~ Another great healthy day.๐Ÿ‘ And with family, too. ๐Ÿ’– I too take Benadryl on occasion to help me sleep. It does make for a good night. Glad it worked for you. You did great at Applebee's!! ๐Ÿ‘Š Back to routineโ€ฆ itโ€™s a good thing!! @victorious55 ~ Nice loss!! ๐Ÿ‘ Two weeks in a row! Youโ€™re doing great!!
    @ajaia2001~ Your Saturday sounded awesome! Youโ€™re diligent in the exercise! ๐Ÿ‘Š Thatโ€™s inspirational for me. Thanks for posting!
    @skullsandskeletons~ Saturday cleaning feels so good! And youโ€™re welcome! :) I appreciate the kind words.
    @ala155~ Traveling and being out of routine can be so hard. You will be back on track and get that gone! We have three more weeks for this monthโ€™s competition. We got this!! ๐Ÿ‘Š
    @jupdyke ~ You really did do great while away. ๐Ÿ‘ Hope that itโ€™s more than a great weigh-in. Hope you learned and took in that THIS IS my new lifestyle and I can do it! (Thatโ€™s what I need to soak in!!)

    And onto Week 3 weigh-ins.
    @Toyota100~ ๐Ÿ‘ a loss!! Your May goal is reasonable. You said that you werenโ€™t consistent with exercise or eating healthy. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! If you find that you are struggling to do both. For four days focus on ONE, then add the other. :) Make habits so that itโ€™s easier to be consistent. Can you use an app on your phone and do exercises at home? Your goal is just around the corner. You got this!! ๐Ÿ‘Š
    @MaelynMayhem~ Another loss!! ๐Ÿ‘ So awesome!! Good job!
    @johicks~ note to self: You donโ€™t need to be perfect. Work on consistency and tracking. Remember those late night snacks ADD UP FAST!! Recall that for every snack after 7 pm seemed to weight the next morning 1#/snack. Itโ€™s not worth it. Youโ€™re probably not hungry, youโ€™re bored! Distract yourself, brush teeth, turn off the TV and READ!

    Daily Post (Friday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over, 1713/1390
    Water: Not enough
    Exercise: No
    Day: A pretty decent Friday in comparison to previous weeks. Went for drinks and then a movie with friends, so I ate dinner before we went which normally I wouldn't have done and ate something out at the bar. Definitely prevented me from eating some appetizers and snacks that don't fit into my plan! So I'm proud of myself. Indulged and had junior mints at the movies. Was only going to eat a portion of the box, but ended up eating the whole thing. But even with that and alcohol my calories were under maintenance, so I'm happy.

    Daily Post (Saturday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over, 1413/1390
    Water: Not enough
    Exercise: Walked around the mall for a couple of hours with a friend, so more than I normally would get on a Saturday.
    Day: Another solid weekend day! I only went over by 23 calories which is a HUGE weekend victory for me! My daily weigh-ins are also trending down this weekend, where as I normally gain anywhere from 2-3 pounds over the weekend. Tightening up my weekend worked, and is a huge motivator to continue keeping weekend days in check instead of being free-for-alls.
    I think I was able to really find that balance this weeken, so will hopefully be able to continue that moving forward.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Took my day off today.
    Goal/Day: Today was a relaxing mother's day. Hubby took me to breakfast and I only ate half of everything. Then ate some yummy smoked ribs he made for dinner. It was nice to have a day of relaxation after our trip before the work week starts tomorrow. Hopefully I will have a positive weigh in tomorrow after being so mindful all week.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under, Limit: 1500/Actual: 1390
    Water: 26 cups
    Exercise: Zombies, Run! (You're Rocking the Boat - 36 minutes; Hounds of Love - 35 minutes, walked an additional 10 minutes), Steps: 12,014
    Day: It's been an interesting day. I got my first catcall today. A guy called out as I passed, "Whoa, hello beautiful!" That's never happened before. The Latuda is starting to work. I ran into a neighbor and after noticing my exercise equipment, namely my barbell and weights, he got his own. He's starting to exercise and says I should get him for when I go on my walks. He also flirted a little bit too. I left to fix my dinner to take my meds. I get a little buzz in the morning from my new med combo but it doesn't last too long. While I was doing my first Zombies, Run! in the park it rained on me so I got a bit wet. When it was done I moved inside.

    Weights down a bit- havenโ€™t hit the gym for a while now as all my spare time has been renovating a travel trailer. Itโ€™s going to be super cute but Iโ€™m getting super tired. Iโ€™ll try to make time to go and get a good workout this week.
    Have a great week everyone!! โค๏ธ

    @MaelynMayhem ~ Sunday - Funday! :trollface: Wowsers! A catcall. And a walking buddy. Nice. Right:grey_question: So so diligent about your water and walking. I'm getting frustrated because after 30min yesterday of just dancing about my knee was sore all day. UGH! I know it's temporary until I get more weight off, but I do want to do more than I am. I will keep reminding myself that 10-15 minute chunks throughout the day did wonders in week #1. :smirk:

    @LuluLovinLife ~ I'm with Jen (@jupdyke) - working on that travel trailer ๐Ÿ’ช has got to be a workout!! Nice loss!! ๐Ÿ‘ You also have a great week!!

    @jupdyke ~ Jen... thanks ๐Ÿ’— so much!


    ๐Ÿ’ฃ Let's do this!! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
