GREAT threadstarter! Of course there are times when I want to give up…but I keep picking myself up, dusting myself off, and moving forward. I recently spoke to a coworker who lost 25lbs last summer and is up 30 this summer. My progress might be slow but it’s staying off.

Thanks for the encouragement! It’s so motivating to see two-a-day workouts—swimming and pilates and training and running, oh my!

I got up this morning and went for a stroll, the first time I’ve really exercised since Friday. I usually try not to let two days go by without working out so that was a long time for me to not workout. I need momentum. I signed my son up for Sun am swim lessons and am planning to have my hubs pick him up after class so I can swim laps since I’ll be there, in my suit! So there's 6 Sunday workouts already squared away

Tuesday Goals Report:
1) Eat within cals +/- 150. No, but close, I was over by 175. Yesterday I made ratatouille for dinner with quinoa and brown rice. It was good but not a lot of protein so I was still hungry after and had bread and cheese.
2) Eat veggies with EVERY meal and snack. I had veggies 4/5 times.
3) Log in dinner FIRST so I can work backwards from there. Check!
4) Plan food in ADVANCE. Check! I did my whole day in the morning before I ate anything.
5) Get my step goal in SEVEN days this week. Monday, check! Tuesday, check!
