2 week challenge

Amy, I love Catfish! My husband even secretly likes it I think. I also love Intervention. Can you believe that 19 year old heroine addict from this week? Sheesh. Poor thing. I am the queen of trash TV: Toddlers and Tiaras, Jersey Shore, Snooki and JWow, Honey Boo Boo.....it's bad.
So this week I have focused on my diet pvery well and my workouts have mostly just been PT. I did a little heavier calisthenics last night, but have mostly been walking backwards on the treadmill and doing my exercises. Most days I've hit about 1300 calories but my macros have been good (40/30/30). I skipped breakfast most mornings (except yesterday; I was hungry), and today......2.5 pounds gone! So I'm hoping to keep my momentum going, have a healthy weekend, and start my training next week and see how I need to adjust calories. I think limiting carbs is key for me, and even "mini fasts" or as I like to call it skipping breakfast. I've always heard how breakfast is the most important meal of the day blah blah, but half the time, I'm eating just to eat and not really hungry. Many of you ladies have calmed my fears of the dreaded slowed metabolism due to not eating within 60-90 minutes of waking so thanks.
Today is my Friday so I hope you all have happy healthy weekends!0 -
Well, my trash show love is "The Joe Schmo show"....which, was only on for 2 years about 2004-2005. Alas, I was flipping channels 2 nights ago and landed on "The Joe Schmo show - The Full Bounty" - my GOODNESS, the show is BACK!
My husband can't STAND "intervention" - so I rarely watch it....and am CONSISTENTLY amazed these addicts NEVER think they are on this particular show, given how much media-attention the show, itself gets??!!?? Weird. To. Me.0 -
I might have to try "Catfish" - that actually seems like a good-themed-show.0
-
My reality TV is Real Housewives, The Bachelor, used to be Jersey Shore....I think that's it. I want to watch that Catfish show, I have heard alot about it. My husband used to work late on Fridays so I used to What not to Wear, Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings, but now he gets off when I do, so we usually do a movie or one of our Netflix shows. BTW I am LOVING Sons of Anarchy! and Mad Men!
I had another good day yesterday. Went to Yoga and made some progress on my Crow pose. Has anyone heard of or tried TRX training? They have it at my gym. There are bands hanging from the ceiling and you use your core alot for the moves. Looks interesting, may have to try it out soon.
I'm cooking some Barbacoa pork recipe from Skinnytaste for dinner tonight (and will probably eat leftovers tomorrow) with a salad. I have week 2 of C25K that I will do tonight and tomorrow. And then Spinning and Hot Yoga again Saturday morning.0 -
Still no computer - aaH! - so I am checking in briefly while at work. My boss let me take home one of the old computers at home and it worked for 5 minutes and crashed. It looks like some kind of power supply overload, so I brought it back and she is going to give me another one as well as a new surge protector - so nice. I hope it works this time since my husband's laptop has been at a computer repair place for weeks and I still have not heard back from them, not good news.
Anyways, I have not been logging so I have no idea where I am at with food and my belly is getting awfully squish. As fun as my DVD's are I feel they may not be working me hard enough. I am going to give it some more time and work on my diet a little and then re-evaluate. I will try to check back later.0 -
Chloe,
I *have* heard of TRX training - my gym has had it for about a year, maybe 2? I have only tried it once - and that was at a separate gym when a friend of mine gave me 2 free personal training sessions with her trainer at her gym.
I think you SHOULD check it out! It's TOUGH STUFF and a good 'mix-up' for your muscle groups. In fact, because I still have 2 personal training sessions left, with my YMCA trainer, the next time I'm on a weight-lifting break (say, beginning of march....), I'm going to book a time with him and we'll just do TRX stuff!0 -
I don't think i watch enough TV because I have no idea what any of these shows are - except what not to wear. The living room TV only shows sports and Disney channel. LOL. We only have an antena in the bedroom so I watch regular TV or read.
I got really sick to my stomach last night and was asleep by 8!!! I didn't feel like setting my alarm for 4:15 so maybe I'll work out tonight. It doesn't matter if you cook healthy if you stuff your face anyway. That's what I did on Tues night. My husband made a pizza on tues night and I had a left over slice yesterday before I got sick. Oh well. guess there will be no big loss for me again.
Ashley - I think it is great that you're sticking to your good eats and losing wieght.
Jen- I feel you with the kids. Yesterday my husband had to take my daughter to dance (yippee) since i was sick, but that's only the second time all year. He use to do soccer before I became the asst. coach. It's hard.
Abigail-I'm sorry about your computer. Ours went out too and we haven't replaced it.
Chloe- You're doing awesome. I love the recipes on skinnytaste. I also like Skinny Ms.
Beeps- Keep up the good work! :-) I should work out during my lunch!0 -
I have wanted to try TRX, I never have, I bet it is tough! I don't think they have them at 24-hr fitness where I have a membership, and usually I am working out at the fitness center here at work. They have some straps you can hang from the pull up bars but I wouldn't know what I was doing!
I saw Intervention with the poor 19 year old heroine addict last week, but at least it had a happy ending! I like it when they are still sober and all. With the girls on that show you are always waiting to find out when they were abused or molested! and beeps, I know some of them have seen the show so I don't know how they don't catch on, but in some cases they aren't the sort of folks tuning into A&E regularly, they are living pretty marginal lives without cable!
I weighed this morning and I was down 1.5 lbs from Monday, I know it's not fat loss but it would be discouraging to see the scale move the other way so I'll take it.
I remain hungry a good deal of the time and last night I logged exercise cals so I wouldn't be over, but I think it was a reasonable burn. I jogged 30 minutes on the treadmill and yes, I am so slow (4.5 mph) that MFP calls it a brisk walk! haha.0 -
I hadn't heard of Catfish before, I'll definitely have to check it out! I'm always in the market for a new trashy TV show :-)
Jen--great job eating well and fitting in the weights with all of that craziness!
Ashely--great loss! And have a great weekend!
Chloe--the Crow pose is tough! I was trying to be able to do that for a while and then gave up. Every once in a while I give it a shot but I don't make much progress, probably because I don't stick with it. Maybe that should be one of my next two-week goals….
Kelly--I hope you're feeling better!
Amy--they say you can't lose weight without feeling a little uncomfortable, so hopefully that helps with your hunger! And I think that anytime you're jogging you get a good burn, even if MFP calls it a walk :-)
We had snow today! I didn't get up early enough to do a real workout this morning but I got a walk in at lunchtime despite the weather. Hopefully I'll get up early enough to workout tomorrow morning, I'm taking my hubby out to dinner for his birthday so I may need a little wiggle room in my calories for the day (I log my exercise calories).0 -
Yesterday I stuck to my plan and the 8 oz of wine and was under on cals without counting exercise, which was really just 10 minutes of jumping rope and some strength training. I have earned my rest day and brew fest.
Going home at lunch to put a pork tenderloin in the crockpot.
Ris, happy bday to your hubby, how was dinner?
Kelly, hope you feel all better.
TGIF!0 -
Feeling better today, but yesterday I kept eating to calm my stomach. I don't know, it felt better when I ate so I ate like 2,000 calories! But the scale was only up .1 today. Can't help but wonder what i would have saw if I ate better. I think I need to raise my calories a little because even when I feel better, I can't eat this low. But, think Ris made a good point to Amy, sometimes we need to be uncomfortable to lose the weight. I did a short workout this morning and plan on getting in a second workout later.
Amy, I think that's great that you fit the wine into your calories. Great job on the wieght loss.
Ris- how was the dinner?0 -
We ended up getting Chinese delivery last night for dinner. The hubby just got back from his trip and wasn't up for going out, but we're going to go out to dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to it, the restaurant is in our neighborhood but I've never been.
Amy--nice job sticking to your plan! You've definitely earned your rest day and brew fest :drinker:
Kelly--glad to hear you're feeling better! Finding the right number for your calories is definitely more trial and error than an exact science. For me, I've had the best luck by eating a little under my maintenance calories, but not too much (i.e., I set my goal to lose half a pound a week). I'm definitely a little hungry before I eat, but not so hungry that I go overboard when I do finally eat.0 -
Afternoon ladies. It's been a busy week (for all of us it seems) so I'm looking forward to a quiet dinner with the kids (DH is out of town for basketball). Luckily, I made soup this weekend and the kids are having soup (darn bug still in the house) so everything is all ready for us when we get home. Just get to eat and enjoy. I wasn't thinking 'carbs' when I cooked up our bulk food prep this week so I will be somewhat over the carb macro for the first couple days of week 4 of LP. Good food, just oats and soup that has a higher carb count that suggested. All will be fine with the world if that's my only 'hiccup' over the weekend. :laugh:
Ris- Enjoy date night!
Kc- Hope you are feeling 100%.
Amy- Nice job sticking to plan. I'm with you on the slower pace for runs. I feel like slow and steady wins the race
wheni t comes to me and treadmills. I'll keep my HIIT on a non-moving surface!!
Beeps- What a streak you had this week! Nice job, especially after a little mini get away. Props to you.
I have 2 cardio sessions planned over the weekend (only real time I can GO to the gym and not be pressured by work/school/schedules to get back home. So I am going to enjoy a run day one of those days and another mismatched cardio session Sunday. Have a great weekend all!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Well, my "streak" broke yesterday. No exercise time for lolly.
That's okay, I made it to the gym, today, and I lifted! Went up in some of my weights! And, I think the next week looks pretty good to get in a "daily work-out", so my NEW streak has begun!
Plus, I lost another 0.6, since Wednesday. Whew - I guess all that "holiday bloat" was, truly, JUST THAT - BLOAT! I'm back a week and I weigh less then when I left. Good enough for me!
I'd really like to be 2 lbs down for my Jan-end reports for my various challenges, but unsure if I can get there that fast. Am skipping breakfast, not eating until after lunch work-out, and trying, as best I can, to minimize any afternoon snacking. Normal-sized dinner, and I'm good.
BUT, my parents arrive today! Gack, how can I 'covertly' eat NOTHING until noon or 1 pm?? Hmmmmm, tomorrow, I'll just head out to the gym, they'll play with grand-kids, so it'll be fine. And, Sunday, kids have swimming, so I guess I'll just toddle off to that without eating and cross-fingers they don't notice!0 -
love how the parents have to feed you! I just try to sleep through breakfast when I am there and then say, I don't wake up hungry:laugh:
It seems to work ok, but family visits seemed to be focused around what we are eating, when and such, it's unavoidable!
Have a great weekend!0 -
So I ended up having a glass of wine last night, it put me over my cals but I have been so low all week I don't think it should do much damage. I am going to my spin and hot yoga in a bit and then I will take the pup for a nice long walk this afternoon I love how active my Saturdays have become. Excited for all the yummy food at the event tonight and I am sure we will be doing some dancing which should burn some more cals.
Haha isn't it crazy how many times we eat just to appease other people. I think I'm the same way with drinking, my friends will think its bizarre if they are all drinking and I am not. So I usually just do to make them more comfortable.
Mama- Hope your kiddos feel better soon!
Ris- I have been craving Chinese food so bad lately. I was thinking of making a beef and broccoli recipe I found on Pinterest tomorrow night to hopefully satisfy that craving.
And unfortunately I think I have to agree with everyone that we will have to be a little uncomfortable to lose weight. Just remember its only temporary. Cuts can't last that long anyways. I just try to think of it day by day rather than long term.0 -
ACK! I just wrote up a big post where I said hello to everyone individually and it was all lost to the ether when I hit "post reply" - I hate that! Haha! I'll try again...
Beeps - You're doing so awesome since you've been back from vacation, go you!
Amy - I love Catfish, I even have my hubby watching with me. :laugh: Good luck getting back to the shape you were in for your profile pic, you look amazing!
Chloe - I always feel like I have to drink with friends too. Either I feel like a stick in the mud when I don't, or they speculate about pregnancy. *sigh*
mamareese - Hope everyone is on the mend, have fun this weekend with your gym time!
Jen - Good job still getting your weights in with as busy as you've been, hopefully you can settle back in to routine soon!
Better_balance - 2.5 pounds down, awesome!!
Abigail - My computer has been acting up too, keeping me from posting often. *grumble*
Kc - Hope you're feeling better!
So there was some discussion about calorie levels being trial and error. I think I'm on the error side of things lately. I've lost weight before being lower cal than I am now, but lost lean mass too I'm sure. I'm at the same scale weight as a few years ago, but jeans (thermometer jeans!) don't fit from then. I can get them on, but holy muffin top! My focus now is fat loss, muscle retention. I ran my numbers and came up with a modest deficit for that, taking in to account my activity level with strength training several days a week. I've been right on my calorie goal the whole month of January. I dropped a few holiday pounds right away (bloat/water I'm assuming) but nothing since then. How long would you all stick out a *trial* before you decide it's an *error*?
I could go down another 150 I think and be OK with that, as long as I kept my protein up. I need to get a kitchen scale - I find all the database entries for foods to be overwhelming. I try to stick with the MFP standard entries since I cook 98% of what I eat myself, but then I find trying to estimate portions in ounces and grams to be kind of a pain. A food scale would clear up a lot of that confusion for me.0 -
Hey ladies. I had a busy weekend - dinner with friends Saturday night and my daughter's party yesterday. I drank WAY too much Saturday. After dinner 3 friends came back and we drank more wine in the hot tub. So I had to prep for the party hungover, which was not the best. But the party was fun and I even managed to have a couple champagne apertifs. :drinker: I honestly didn't eat much so I don't feel like a bloated piece of crap today despite no workouts (except a walk) this weekend. Hopefully this weekend will be better. I have dinner plans with friends and typically they'd come back to the house for hot tub and wine, but I think I'm going to not invite them. If I put myself into a situation to drink a lot, I will. So I just won't put myself into that situation! My Sober January only ended up last a little over 2 weeks, so I'm going to try to minimize drinking in February too. My main goal is to be more perceptive of my drinks. I have a bad tendency to just keep refilling my glass without evey knowing how many glasses of wine I've had and then all the sudden I'm drunk. Not good.....
Well enough complaining. I didn't get to do any food prep for the week yesterday, but I'm going to do my best on my eats this week. I only work 3 days this week. My daughter has surgery Thursday morning to have a cyst removed. It's minor surgery but still has me a little worried. My leg is feeling good so I'm going to go for a couple mile run tonight to kick off my training. I only have PT once this week and if all goes well, it may be my last! So that is good news!
Great job everyone. Looks like you all had nice weekends! Back to the grind for me.....0 -
Hey everyone! I had a good weekend, but not so good calorie wise. Did ok Friday night. Saturday I actually did good all day and evening, but then Mike wanted taco bell on the way home from the event (he was drunk), so of course I had to get something too. Yesterday just kinda bummed around and drank wine and ate. I did get in a decent walk with the pup yesterday morning though. I ended up averaging 1800 cals a day last week. Which is way over where I want to be. So I will make this week a better one. The only day I am a little concerned about is Sunday (superbowl). Our friends are having a NOLA themed party with hurricanes, jambalaya and all that good stuff.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
I had a really good weekend - my parents came for a visit and that was great since we didn't get to see them over Xmas. But, it was *busy*.....basketball games, ice hockey games, swimming times. YIKES! I'm totally exhausted, actually! It will be a LONG week at work.
That's okay....I'll get my lifting in today, and I'll feel better for it.
My 2-week-challenge goals are:
1. Drink 1.3 x the water I want to drink....and, I already drink a LOT of water, but I'm trying to up it even more.
2. Try and create as much of a "daily-work-out-streak" as I can. Although I can already tell Thursday is gonna mess with that....but, I'll give it my best shot!
3. Keep calories low. I've got photos/measurements at the end of this week!0 -
Oh, is it goal time again already?
Mine are:
1. Run 3x a week (per training schedule)
2. 1 day of total body strength/calisthenics. (I'll be a little lax on my strength training over the next 3 months. Probably more calithenics than heavy lifting.)
3. Eat good foods; watch macros. Calories 1300 a day. One cheat day.
4. Don't get hammered on Saturday so we can go to church Sunday
5. Don't get hammered next Friday so my 4 mile race isn't run hungover
That's all.0 -
My goals are:
1) To have an overall (for the week) average daily calorie intake of less than 1500
2) 3 days of C25K, 2 spin classes and 2 yoga classes ( starting next week it will be 3 yoga classes because they are starting a Sunday morning class)
3) Limit drinking and snacking on the weekends in order to achieve goal #1
4) Stop talking bad to myself and start seeing my body the way my husband does. (I am always looking in the mirror thinking how fat I look and he is telling me how sexy I am....I need to feel that way about myself)
Ashley- one of our NY resolutions was to start going to church again. And we have been successful with that so far. I really find I just feel better about the world when I go, especially with all the tragedies that keep happening.0 -
Beeps--It's so much harder to stick to your routine when family comes in town! But it sounds like you've figured out your system, so hopefully they didn't derail you too much. Sounds like great goals!
Chloe--Your Superbowl plans sound fun! Though hurricanes and jambalaya aren't exactly light in calories. At least you know what you're getting into on Sunday so you can be good this week. And gerat goals! I particularly like #4, it's one we all should do.
ShmoozyQ--What are your calories set to now? If you've been hitting your targets for a month with no results, it might be time to change something up, adjust either your intake or your exercise. And I know what you mean about it being tough to estimate portions on MFP. I generally eat pretty simple stuff during the week and eat the same things over and over again so it's not that bad to log, but the weekends are tough. There is no way I have time to enter every ingredient I use when I'm cooking.
Ashley--sounds like a fun weekend! And it sounds like you have a good plan for drinking going forward. Maybe just keeping track of how many drinks you have each night will help, just forcing yourself to keep track might make you more aware of it. And I'm sorry to hear that your daughter has to have surgery! I'm sure it'll be fine but I'm guessing it's still a little scary.
My weekend was pretty good. I was over my calories on Friday and I skipped out on logging Saturday and Sunday, but I only drank on Saturday (which I was planning on doing since we had friends over) even though my husband had some drinks on Friday and Sunday so I was pretty tempted. I think I'm going to continue to cut back on the booze going forward but probably not as strictly. I also got in a good run on Saturday and some lifting on Sunday. My weight is still steady so I'm happy with it overall.
Here are my goals:
1. Continue to get in at least a quick workout every day
2. Log everything Monday-Friday, and eat in moderation on Saturday and Sunday
3. Do at least 3 strength workouts a week.
4. Limit drinking to "special occasions" (i.e., no more drinking just because I'm bored/my husband is drinking/I don't have work the next morning)0 -
Best part of my weekend- On Sat I felt like trying on clothes that I haven't been able to wear in years. Guess what? The scale doesn't know *kitten* and I look good in clothes I use to wear 10 pounds ago. YES!!!! It motiated me to workout both Sat and Sun. The shorts were a litttle short though, so I need to trim te thighs. I bought JM killer buns and thighs for $7 at Costco.
Bad news- I decided to get nachos to share with my husband Sat night after I got off of work. Well, he had order a pizza (an expensive pizza and we got into a fight because we are not suppose to be spending money (I don't want to work 2 jobs forever!) So I ate all the nachos myself. Oh well.
Ris- sounds like you had a good weekend with solid 2 week goals!
Chloe- I agree with you on church. The girls and I started going again a few months ago and I really enjoy it. Now my friend is going too and we might join a woman's group - if we can find one with woman around our age.
Beeps- Glad you enjoyed family time. Good luck with your goals.
Ashley- Sounds like a fun weekend. You have been doing so well lately, a day of food/drinking shouldn't throw you off.
Schmoozy- I wish I had some advice - still trying to figure that out myself!
2 week Challenge
1. Keep carbs under 40 and protein over 30
2. 2 days lower/ 2 days upper
3. Try my Cathe YOGA DVD - I've had it for 3 or 4 weeks now!
4. Avoid the scale -yes, I want to avoid it for 2 weeks. It's stupid.0 -
Morning all. I'm glad to see that everyone had a good weekend. Mine was not too productive, but had a good time. We had belated Christmas at my grandmother's. Got in a good long cardio session before going, kept my fast on until the set time of 12pm and then ate 80/20 during. Calories were good, macros off but I think it ended up well. Same with yesterday. Nice long cardio session and decent eats. Nothing major to report. Except the drop in calories and decrease in carbs (up in fat & protein) for the LP plan. I am having a rough time getting the carbs that low. I can get them to 100 but lower is difficult. Simple stuff that you don't think about having noteable carbs (ie cottage cheese) keeps me above where her macros want me. I am going to stay as close to the carb ratio as I can but I'm not going out shopping when I have good healthy eats at home just to get 15-25g of carbs off the top. Hopefully, it won't be a huge dealbreaker!!
My 2 week goals:
1) Keep workouts lighter as per LP guidelines. She says 'no workouts, just recovery' so I'm leaning towards yoga & stretching. Possibly some low key treadmill incline walks. Just to keep me on a schedule.
2) Keep water intake up. I'm coming down with something and I always forget to drink water when my body needs it most!
Ris-Glad things are steady for you. And glad you had a good run Saturday! Looks like you are finding some nice balance!
Beeps- Glad the visit went well. What a busy schedule! I hope you had some time in there to enjoy your company! It can be so hard to do when the kids schedules have you running every which way!!
Ashley- Your weekends sound so fun. I'm a little jealous! Hope everything goes ok with the surgery!!
Chloe- Your weekends too! The Superbowl party sounds fun!! And I'm with Ris, I love your #4. Excellent point/goal.
Shmoozy-I think we've set this board up as a 2 week challenge because (correct me if I'm wrong, ladies) but we felt like you needed to give things at least 14 days worth to see a change. I know for me with calorie levels...I have to give it a tad longer because consistency isn't my strong suit. The food scale is a great tool (total PIA!! but good tool) often times, I'd underestimate things like egg whites for cooking/baking but overestimate an ounce of almonds. And of course there's always the MFP input error, where things might not be entered correctly on the database (or even manufacturer error when 'reporting' nutritional information for labels) So depending on how consistent you feel you are being, I'd take a look at what that number is for you. Going down, as Beeps mentioned earlier last week, to account for these errors might help. But we don't want to advocate for dipping too low! An accurate,moderate deficit is the way to go- if we can ever account for all of these factors we'd be golden right?!

Morning! Thanks for the feedback on calorie levels, ladies. I currently have mine set at 1500 - with a moderately active lifestyle. That *should* set me at around a .5 lb loss per week. I've been hitting the goal pretty much right on (I think I was over by 20 cals average one week, and under by about that much for the past two weeks). I'm trying really hard to maintain muscle mass this time so I want to keep my losses slow. It's funny, I KNOW all this and try to remind myself, but sometimes I get impatient. I did step on the scale this morning and my weight was just a hair lower. I think priority for me is getting a food scale for accurate logging. I only make it to the "big town" (not a big town at all, ha!) once every ten days or so, since it's 40 miles away! :laugh: I'll pick one up next time I'm shopping.
2 week goals:
1) Bodyweight workouts four times a week.
2) Keep calorie average at or below 1500 (be reasonable at super bowl party, because logging that will be near impossible, ha)
3) At least 85 grams of protein, daily.
4) Keep off the scale! I think it will be easier for me to see if I'm making any progress if I ignore the scale for a few weeks.0 -
I finally have a working computer so I am going to start logging again & I can check in with everyone more often.
2 week challenge time (starting yesterday) - 1. keep within calorie goals with one cheat meal - Saturday night employee appreciation dinner for husband's work, 2. at least 10 glasses of water per day, 3. complete all workouts DVD program (I skipped a few over the last couple of weeks, crazy busy!)
Shmoozy - I am with you on the staying away from the scale for awhile - it is not always your friend
Mama - carbs are tricky for me as well, good luck!
Kc - that is awesome news about your clothes fitting, congrats
Ris - looks like a good plan, glad you are happy with the weight holding steady
Chloe - my husband is the same way - I need to start listening to him & stop discouraging myself
Beeps - so glad the family visit went well
Have a great week everyone!0 -
Ris- I am with you on limiting booze, I feel so much better when I do, both mentally and physically
KC- well now that is definitely proof that the scale doesn't mean everything! great job!
Mama- I have a hard time to get carbs super low too, mainly because I like fruit too much
Schmoozy- good idea on the food scale, I definitely think that make a huge difference
Abi- welcome back...and we are always our own worst critic!
Had an ok day yesterday. I had a great spin class yesterday though, my teacher even commented on how hard I was working. Next week I think I am going to go to the Pilates class that follows the spin class on Mondays. And I also want to start doing a barre class that is on Wednesdays after yoga. The class is already filled this week, but I am signed up for next week. I have my diary planned out for the week, except Sunday for the Superbowl party, I figure that will be my cheat. But, I still don't want to get too out of control that day either.0 -
All the "goals" look really GREAT! 2013 is in full swing.
PS - I am wearing my "thermometer jeans", today....officially these jeans, and my one pair of dark blue skinny jeans, are the ONLY jeans I own that still fit! I guess I did drop a size...

Hi friends! Been MIA again...between work, travel, the new puppy, and actually working out I've not been great on MFP! First, the bad news: I fell off the logging boat last week. It started with a quick midweek work trip and continued with a busy week and weekend. That said, the good news is that I did get all my crossfit in and have been really racking up the activity on my fitbit walking the puppy (Finn) three times a day. My activity level is good right now, I just need to be more attentive to eating.
2 week goals:
1. Maintain a solid caloric deficit with healthy food.
2. Crossfit 5-6 times a week and walk 1-3 times a day.
Also, my box has a nutrition challenge starting Saturday and I am signed up. We'll see if they can convince me to try paleo (not likely!)
Hope the rest of you are great!
PS Ashley and Chloe-One my resolutions was to go to mass more! Saturday evenings are usually my cheat meals (which means boozy nights) and then Sundays I get to be lazy. Thanks for reminding me I said I would that!0
