Monday evening I made up lunches for me and my fiance for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Chicken breasts with herbs, spices and added, onions, peppers & mushrooms and 1/2 cup cooked brown rice for me and 1 cup for the fiance with some salad, plus healthy snacks 1 for the AM and 1 for the PM: homemade protein bar; protein shake; fruit & chicken chunks; cucumber, cottage cheese & rice cakes or rice cakes & organic no added sugar peanut butter

So far so good even though I went to the cinema last night I was pretty good and took food with me to nibble on

Awesome meal prep! I love to make enough for several days of lunches and dinners. Takes the guesswork out of figuring out what to eat and you stay on track!

Day 3 eating is okay. I stayed under my calorie limit. I noticed though that I haven't been eating veggies lately. If I can't fit one now, I will get on it by Day 5. I have been loving starchy carbs lately so I cannot fit anything else aside from fruits. I always forget veggies because I usually need to cook them. I also haven't been able to fit exercise time. I'm more fatigued than usual since day 3 because TOM has started. Maybe I can up my exercise after I am done with it.

Today went great! Ate lite all day so I would have plenty of room for dinner. Wasn't sure what that was going to be until I got home. Then my plans changed because I forgot to take the ribs out of the freezer, so I made a frozen lasagna and garlic bread. Not for me, though. I had some carving board chicken breast and Italian cheese on low carb tortillas with Mediterranean salad mix and taco sauce. It was SOOOO yummy! And I was still enough under my 1200 calories that I got to have some jelly beans and a fiber one brownie for desert...and STILL didn't go over. I also went for a 4.8 mile walk with my 9 year old before dinner. Yep...I'm thinking it's about time for bed!
Good job everyone! Looks like so far, everyone is staying on track and working hard. I'm proud to be a part of this group!

Im pretty pleased with myself. Gym time with my 13 year old mini-me was really fun. I stayed under my calorie goal and going to bed early. This was a GOOD day!

Day 3 - just finished my 3rd day of insanity and for sure it has kicked my butt.. my thighs and abs feel sore !! My eating habits haven't been good I'm still struggling getting my breakfast and healthy foods throughout the day .. it's so hard seeing easter candies all over the house and hot cheetos omg they are my weakness lol

Hi. went to a Zumba Toning followed by a Zumba class and kicked my butt. It lasted 90 minutes and was really intense.

My husband and I started getting up an extra hour earlier in the mornings to work out. The first month or two were tough (we are up at 4 am). But now that we are in a routine - if we skip a day or two I can feel it. Now that I have my exercising into a good routine my goal is to get my eating healthy. I am not a horrible eater - rarely eat fast food or junk food - my problem is portion control. So trying to weigh and measure out portions right now. Made me sad when I saw what an actual 4 ounces of wine looked like!

I'm with you on the wine portion size sadness! I give up a bread portion during the day and "save it" for an extra glass of wine. I mean, who can have just one four oz glass of wine?!

Tossed all the Easter candy that was leftover and so glad I did. Everytime I find myself wandering to the fridge I just fill my water glass and leave. Sounds like everyone is doing great, stay focused and keep in touch here.

The Easter bunny (mom) did not send any treats this year, and I stayed away too, oh jelly beans how I binge thee. Great job on tossing it all out and not digging it back out.

I did 1.57 miles of walking with bursts of running, it's hot out there at 1pm (when my lunch break is) with the full sun, so I may switch to walking after work (though it's overcast today). I need to find someplace to walk, the area I live in (even my apartment complex) has no sidewalks.

Checking in for week one...off to a pretty slow start. Getting over a really bad sinus infection and chest cold. Spent all Easter in bed Not fun. Just got a Jawbone UP and getting more steps every day.
