Have a half marathon in just under two weeks and now am starting to train for a sprint tri with a group of girls from work. Did a swim today and it was horrible! Can't get the breathing down, going to really have to focus on it until June 1st.0 -

I had Samosas for lunch (yum!) and a double portion of pork at dinner. However, I also got in a 4 mile power walk so I'm green :drinker: I'm still getting used to my new smaller number of calories :grumble:0 -

Day 3 of couch to 5k, plus heaps of steps at work (unusual) and got myself home in time to walk to and from my daughter's school... which means I've ended up waaaaay under calories. But now it's 10 and I'm too sleepy to get up and eat. Thing is, so far on this journey I have been doing very little exercise. Stepping it up now is the plan - fitness is more important than thinness to me -- but I'm going to have to get used to eating more again. Feels weird.0 -

Took the dogs for a brisk walk in the park. Had to do my cardio walk it off video sorta twice. I tried paying it on the computer this morning and it shut off in the middle so I felt like I had to try it again after work, but hey, more calories for me to bank.0 -

So tonight was my very first track meet ever. It was cold. It was LOOOOOOOOONG. It went later than my bedtime. I avoided the concession stand food only to fall prey to the menu at Sonic---and their ice cream blast with cookie dough....and then after paying, was told they had no cookie dough. So my whole "justification" for splurging was wasted on a caramel brownie (which for the record was very good, but does not fill my heart with joy like cookie dough)
Anyway, had a had a crystal ball----I would NOT have eaten cheesecake at lunch meeting. The day was a killer way to start off April and no doubt I will be "eating" my way out of the whole for the rest of the week (I literally went over my calories by about a whole day).
It happens, right?:sick: I promise to be MUCH MUCH better tomorrow. :sad:0 -

Work + Zumba today. I was still a little hungry after dinner, but I'm fighting it off with some hot tea. I really don't want to blow my deficit tonight. I'm trying to get the scale to budge a little bit and I'm doing a challenge through bootcamp to lose some inches this month. We get re-measured on Saturday.

I actually had to eat cereal at 8:15 to get closer to my goal number. And that was after a cookout for lunch. :bigsmile: I am enjoying my vacation week and the farmer's market opens this morning. Hooray!!0 -

It felt good to stick to my plan. It felt even better to take snacks OFF of my journal that I had pre-logged so that I could have a bigger dinner!!! I am also doing a no-pasta challenge. That will definitely help me to stay green more days!0 -

Challenging myself by upping my FitBit steps to 15k and boy is it a struggle - even though the weather is improving and is quite springlike. I'm also trying to do at least 10 mins on the exercise bike to start each day - managing so far (but then it is only the 2nd!!)
Tried a new Jerk Chicken receipe today - The rice and peas were amazing - the chicken - not a favourite recipe!!
@Miridai - excellent NSV with the shorts and lovely photo.
@Chevy - welcome back. ((((Huge Hugs)))
@kawookie - you'll rock the new allocation - unfortunately you'll have to move more and, for me, that took some working out.
@ktaylormusic - you will find balance - fab that your progressing though C25K
@R_Queenie - fabulous resolve in avoiding the concession stands!! the silver lining I think - I think @Jbharwood is right though LOL0 -
I didn't get to check in for the end of the month, so just for the record I was green on March 31st but did not make my goal for the month. *sigh*

Gym days make it so much easier to stay under goal! I did Zumba + treadmill yesterday. I've been eating a LOT of junk food for the last 4 or 5 days thanks to emotional stress in my life. I must remember that food is not a healthy form of stress relief!
Welcome back, Chevy!!
:flowerforyou:
Thanks to all of the mods for keeping the challenges going! :flowerforyou:

NSV: went for my 6 month follow up at my doc's today. BP: 108/70. Weight (at 4:45 in the afternoon) 156.4. BMI 24.49. Doc says I am at a phenomenal weight for me. :blushing: The whole world can tell you you look great, but when the person who believed me when I said I'd lost range of motion in my hips & treated my arthritis, MRIs my head every ten years because my mom died of an aneurysm, and wouldn't give up until she had a diagnosis for my autoimmune disease says, "You're phenomenal," it means a lot :bigsmile:0 -

@Chevy---SO GOOD to have you back!!!!! I often wondered if your ears burned with every mention of a Chevy style-green day. :laugh: :laugh: I know I did my part to keep your memory alive in the group and was often thankful for your brilliant suggestion of the 99 calorie range!!!! You saved MANY a day for me! :bigsmile:
I was really aiming for a "super low" calorie day today---had crockpot oatmeal for breakfast and lunch. But by dinner I returned to a more "normal" sized meal and a small treat. Sensible but not quite as much "recovery" gained from yesterday as I would have hoped.
Thanks to all who encouraged me after my EPIC FAIL day yesterday:sad: . That's just why I continue to hang out with this group! :flowerforyou: 0 -

I am giving myself the benefit of the doubt today because I was busy all day and then did a 55 minute workout. My problem is all my meals were eaten out so I have no real idea of quantities, but it was a solid attempt to be green so I'm giving myself the benefit of the doubt.0 -
