Tuesday:
Fitness: 20 minutes wandering around the parking lots of the arthritis center while mom was at appointment
Food:Under calorie goal, but really skipped around my assigned meal plan, could have done much better
H20: 8X8 daily - maybe 5 glasses today
Daily NSV reflection...the chiropractor could notice my looser pants
Wednesday:
Fitness: 30 minutes running after a 5 year old
food: started out ok, then went down hill from there
Daily NSV reflection - none today, too down on myself, the more I think about the comments made sunday, the more I get upset & want to go back to old & unhealthy ways0 -
Fitness:Just got back from the gym 27 minutes of cardio , and 20minutes of strength
Food: damn the doughnuts
H20: Im a camel
Daily NSV reflection.I feel happier than i have in 6months0 -
Sorry I haven't been checking in:
Fitness: I haven't been able to workout outside, but I did another chair workout.
Food - pretty good for my reduced exercise schedule just a few calories over a couple days.
H20 - Doing great:drinker:
NSV - Well, this isn't an NSV really - more of a SV. I reset my maintenance calories, and my weight seems to be inching DOWN , like to regions I haven't seen since the 70's. I'm looking forward maybe to shopping tomorrow with Angela and Jessica. I wonder what size I'll be wearing and if I'll run into Edward Cullen.

Fitness: At least 15 minutes of daily activity -- get outside and sparkle!
With running around with hubby all week for tests/dr appts, working one night event, plus my usual work/mommy schedule, I just haven't been able to get it done. I would say I will make it up this weekend, but with hubby recovering from surgery, I'll be lucky to get to do anything.
Food: Keep within your daily allotment - strive for plenty of veggies, fruits, and protein. mountain lion and bear are optional
I switched to maintenance calories today and am going to try to focus on healthy eating instead of calorie count. I actually ate strawberries and cucumbers today at lunch, and lots of 'em!
H20: 8X8 daily 'think fresh, clear, water from a babbling brook in the Hoh rainforest'
Still struggling with this, but getting better every day.
Daily NSV reflection: I'm slowly taking steps to change my life for the better (i.e. changing jobs).0 -
only report for today is I got the water part in. I've found myself on a downward spiral this week after comments on sunday that i KNOW were not directed at me or about me, but with the self-esteem issues I can't get rid of, I took it to be about me0

Check in...
Thursday....went quite a bit over calories, we had Dairy Queen last night. Banana Splits are healthy right? Strawberry, pineapple, banana... Weather was not conducive to being outside, so I didn't get to sparkle. Temps are getting warmer though, so I can get out again soon. Water...got in about 5 of 8.
Friday...so far I am 75 over for the day. Water is at 5/8. I see packing of boxes in my future so I will have some indoor calories to burn off tonight.
NSV --When I put on my jeans for work today they felt less tight in the tummy. Wooohoo! Nice to reap the benefits of a good week. Those NSVs are really what keeps me going!0 -
Friday - over in calories, got the water in
Saturday - a little bit under, got some outdoor walking in, got water in0 -
Brilliant!! love going back to basics
Hi Nay, so glad you can join us!! The more the merrier!
Some times need a nudge !
I forget to check these things lol 0 -
This was a tough week with all of hubby's dr. appointments and then his surgery. I'm doing okay with maintenance calories and am getting better about drinking water. My biggest problem is lack of exercise. Time is a problem, but so is space right now. Hubby has taken up residence in the living room, and a while back we moved some furniture around so there isn't space in my bedroom to work out like I used to. I can't wait til August/September when I can maybe afford to rejoin the gym.
Just a suggestion, but I would totally be up to trying to go back to basics again next week. Anyone else need it too?0 -
Fitness: walked on break today, and after work
Food: stayed under calories, and pretty much on plan. I've pre-logged the majority of my week with my menus & recipes from the trainer
H20: 9 glasses
Daily NSV reflection....being able to wear my dad's class ring again - class of 1955!0 -
Fitness: Wen to the gym Monday, and Today. I plan on going the rest of the week as well . At least 20mins of cardio and 25 of strength
Food: Im doing preety good , not great....
H20: I carry water bottles with me everywhere and i drink iced water all day at work
Daily NSV reflection: I stepped on the scales and the number looked smaller happy me0 -
I'm sorry for not checking in regularly here, everyone. It's so hard when I normally only get on MFP on my phone! I really wish the discussions were on the app 0

I agree Sykin it's next to impossible for me to keep up with the challenges anymore. I'm NEVER on a PC and it's rare that I'm on my tablet. 0
