Motivation for me right now is competition. I'm doing a step challenge at work now, and I want to be one of the top performers. Cycling helps! Being part of this group striving for green and avoiding red is motivation I need *right now.* It could be different in future.
I love hearing the stories of the NEXT 10 or 100 pounds! From my very worst (209) to consistently healthy (135-140) was 70 pounds, but most of my life was around 160-180. I'm trying to get back to 140, and I'm about 10 pounds away.
So... Come on team! Burn more calories than you eat! WE CAN DO THIS!

Wednesday check in time. Got up early and worked out before work. Right as I was walking out the door for work I noticed our pump was making a strange sound. Opened up our crawl space and water was spraying every where. Oh no! My father in law took care of patching things up until the plumber could come. Work was super busy and it took forever to test this one little dude who said "no" to everything. Thank goodness for bubbles, a tiny sloth toy and mini m & m's. Went out to lunch with my dad but then brought pizza home tonight due to having the water shut off. Too much eating out this week for sure. Lots of meetings lately. I'm definitely ready for the week to end. One more day and then we have a long weekend. Our plumber is so awesome. He came up tonight after his regular shift and fixed everything up! Picked up some beef jerky at a specialty shop for him since he squeezed us in. So basically I spent my day using food to motivate small children and plumbers alike. Ha😂 Tomorrow is a new day and it should be a fun day. Classroom Valentine parties will be a nice change of pace!4

What a Wednesday! I have a lot of catching up to do tomorrow - I'll post pictures of our wonderful hike in the Rockies, the amazing views, the mountain goats and moose we saw, and all the news. I hope your plumber gets there before I get back here, @conleywoods - yikes!!3

2 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 frozen blueberries
1/4 c skim milk
Stir it up and let it sit for 15 and it’s ready!!! About 175 cals
It is really filling and from my blood sugar experiment I am doing it does not spike it because it has a lot of fibre, so even a good night time snack for me if I need one. I am typically eating it in the afternoon.0 -

Lol I am trending down 0.1 so far this week..3

You guys inspired me, I signed up for my 1st 5k ever.... It's in 1 month - it's the Shamrock 5k... this is way outside of my comfort zone... But I'm gonna do it... My hubby and son are going to do it with me... 5 -
Its almost noon in my time. I'm thinking about why lately each day takes such initiative to stay positive and on track with my fitness goals. Can you all share your methods to stay encouraged? Thanks in advance!
I find winter tougher with less light. But I recall you live in Europe so maybe you are not facing the same problem?
The only thing I find that really works is to put it in my calendar and put an alarm on it. For me it is more about habit than motivation. I usually find more motivation once I get going though.
Good luck with it! Keep going!1 -
They gave me that cardiolite scan of my heart yesterday. Hopefully results today,, I will let you know if it is "exciting". LOL.
Have a great day everyone!2 -

@conleywoods So glad everything worked out with your leak. You have a very admirable attitude. Love that you have a great village of people to help you out. Hope the Valentines parties are a pleasant change. Food is an amazing motivator too.
@jugar I am excited to see your photos of the Canadian Rockies. Have fun.
@andreabroadly Congratulations on the nice loss and I will trying that recipe today. Hope you get good test results today.
@matthewsfive Sorry to hear your week has felt like a month. You are so disciplined, I’m sure you'll be fine. Hope things slow down for you in the busy way, not dragging on more. Hugs and hang in there.

I am planning on walk/jogging... Hubby and I are gonna start practicing outside, I have to go on the hunt for a really good sports bra though, the ones I own I would never be comfortable even jogging in public.. I have an Enell somewhere that I paid a million dollars for but never wore, because it was a bear just to get on, and I was never actually going to try to run.. So hopefully I can find that this weekend...

Happy Thursday! I'm finally getting onto the computer. It is so good to have all your news! Sounds like everyone is making great decisions - lots of fortitude shining through
and delish food
So here I was yesterday with my daughter:
And on top of the Rock!
So far today we are indulging in complete indolence. So I am about to go put down the mat and do some Pilates at least. It is VERY cold and windy, so I don't feel like going out! I know we will eventually...
Have a great day, everyone! I'll put out the nagging for weigh-ins later, so if you don't want to appear on the overdue list (I'm looking at some of you, Tuesday Wednesday people!!!) get 'em in before I put up the nag list.

. Yay!!
