I lost 4.8 lbs last week (water weight!) and weighted myself Saturday morning. Trouble happened after the weigh in. Had a fabulous breakfast of oatmeal, coffee and H2O then got busy with finishing things up, skipped lunch, blood sugar crashed and all went to heck. Tried to run in the evening but because my nutrition was so bad I could barely do anything (very frustrating because I had been making so much progress!). And guess what happened on Sunday...same stupid thing. Had a great breakfast - an egg and Bob's Red Mill 7 grain hot cerel, lots of H2O, skipped stupid lunch because we were running errands and nearly died because my blood sugar crashed yet again (it hasn't done this in a LONG time). Tried to choose wisely what would have helped it..ie low fat chocolate milk, protein etc. but by then I was too far gone. I need to keep little candies in my car for when this happens.

ANYHOW..on the plus side. The weekend is over and I can move on more educated. We go through these experiences as an opportunity to learn and grow and that I will! I should try to get exercise done early in the day rather than late and plan my meals better - think of good options to have during the day!

So now back on track and ready to reverse whatever damage I did

This first week was great! The weekEND? Not so much. My success includes doing a fab job on my water intake and going back to the gym. The things I definitely need to work on are to: 1)Stop the self sabatoge on the weekends and 2) continue efforts to get to bed on time and get up earlier so I can do most of my workouts in the mornings.

My weekend was not good I got on the scale this morning and gain 2 pounds. :explode:

Pretty good week - discovered Kale smoothies & got some good dog walks in. I need to do better about going to the actual gym, but I discovered the Wii Fit again. Only lost a lb but I feel much healthier. I'm coming off some major medications so once that's over, I expect to be able to work out much more. Also discovered Pinterest and am excited to try some new healthy recipes. Still need to try harder to get my calories to 1500....

Well this week was good, I managed to exceed my weekly workout which is 300 min I actually did 495 and my weekly calories burned should be 2660 I did 2785, So for that reason I am excited.... Ate well all week except on the weekend our state fair was in town :sad: :noway: But for this week I want to start trying to incorprate some weight lifting into my workout. Great job to everyone else!!

I lost 2.6 pounds this week - I probably could have done better if I hadn't gotten sloppy this weekend. It's hard when you have guests! But this week my goal is to go to the gym at least 3x, stay on track with my dieting (which went well for the most part last week), and drink ALL of my water every day. I'm terrible about the water this time around!

I'll work on the no eating out plan too, but the issue for us always becomes that if we don't eat out, I'm the one doing all of the work - cooking, cleaning up afterward, shopping, meal planning, etc. It becomes a part-time job for me and no work for DH. Sometimes I just don't have the energy to take that on. But it needs to be done, and will help the budget too, so we'll see.

Ugh, terrible, terrible, terrible week. My whole family has been sick with a wretched chest cough, so I didn't even work out ONCE last week, not even a walk. I really need to get a workout in ASAP to get my head back in the game. I did reasonably well eating-wise. Overall, I gained .2 (

Just joined the group today... and just began working out yesterday... I'm really excited to join and get as much encouragement as I can. I know that we all have our days and moments in which we feel as though we've failed. But I see it as an opportunity of getting stronger. I know I'm not perfect and getting back into shape is going to be one of the toughest things that I will endure, *probably worse than Marine Corps Bootcamp* But I know I can do this.. Here's to a new week and and a new beginning.. Stay positive everyone!!!

Was a rough week for me finding out that I had a gluten intolerance and going thru detox but I managed to lose 3 lbs. Today I woke up feeling awesome and motivated have been on the ball all morning and I'm looking forward to my goal! Have an amazing week everyone!
