Daily Check-In

<- feeling virtuous because I got to the gym early enough today. The one I go to is open 365 days a year, but it closes at 3 on holidays. Was able to do everything I needed to do without rushing! Which was some stretching, a few core exercises and an hour of cardio in the spin room (maybe when school is out I'll actually be able to go when they have a class).0

Checking in!!! Monday is the day I meet with a trainer at the gym, started working with him in January. It's been good to have some guidance in getting back to the routine of exercise (it had been about three years since I'd gone to the gym with any regularity). He's had me focus on core exercises that I'm noticing are making a huge difference to the form I'm able to maintain as we incorporate more weight-lifting exercises. And I'm also very excited about the fact that as of this morning's weigh-in I'm down 35 pounds since I started last August. Yay!!! I'm getting closer to a maintenance-level weight.0

The Easter break was horrific for my diet, I'd be lucky to maintain weight at my next weigh in! Nevermind I'm back on the wagon as of today.
Congrats @bhagarmckee 35lbs is a huge achievement!0 -
@ryanp_942 - Thanks! The progress hasn't always been speedy; I've had help keeping it rolling forward.
Someone I know calls the extra-calorie days "resetting the metabolism..." There IS actually a bit of truth to that if you've been dieting for a long time; it's not a binge but it is a relaxed day when you're not as strict with the intake (and I forget why it works, but apparently it is sometimes a good thing). Hope you enjoyed the Easter meals and don't feel pressured or guilty over it!0 -
Good morning, all! Doing well after a poorly planned weekend. Back on track today, though!0
-
Three cheers for the getting back on track!!!!! Yay!!! Yay!!! Yay!!!
Rest day for me today... but it might end up being a few more days than I want, think I have a sinus thing brewing. Bleah.0 -
I'm finally on the upswing from whatever sinus hell I've been in the last few days and no longer feel like I have a rubber band around my chest, so hopefully I will try to at least do some light exercise tomorrow.
Als, I've been on a bit of a junk food bender the last few days and I'm going to get back on track tomorrow0 -
Great day to all!0

Hi everyone! I'm about to go to a spa for a hot stone massage (finally using a gift certificate my wife gave me for my birthday in January). I'm really looking forward to it!0
-
Hope everyone has had a wonderful day0

Hi, starsonly! I had a nice day gardening. How was your day?
@rebolaugh How was your hot stone massage? That was a terrific gift from your wife. My wife seems to always know what I really want/need. Cheers to a relaxing day!0 -
@nuttyengineer - I feel your pain. I have a sinus thing starting up right now... hate the way they throw a wrench in the monkey works (or is that a monkey wrench in the works?) And just when I was making some really good progress at the gym, too.0
-
Hello all, just checking in for the day. Feeling very confident & strong today so YAY! Gym tonight will be shiny.0

Hi, I joing MFP back in 2012. Had great success for about a year, losing about 80lbs. Had some life altering events happen and I took it bad...gained it all back and then some. I'm back now, motivated and will try my best not to let anything keep me down this time. Cheers and good luck to y'all!0

It was AWESOME! I'd never had a hot stone massage before, and it felt incredible. I was so sad when it was over!
Brettle1, welcome back and best of luck to you!0 -
jus' checking in... gym on hold until I'm feeling a little bit better. Saw my physician today and he gave me a prescription. While I was there I asked if we could check my cholesterol levels. Last time I had a physical (two years ago) he told me they were high. They were able to test right there in the office, turns out everything was back in the healthy/satisfactory range. Hooray!

Hey guys, It has been a weird day for me.. I kinda passed out in the bed not meaning to.. I think it is because normally by 3pm i have eaten atleast 1000 calaries and i barely hit below 600.. So I think I am feeling those effects. Its Grocery day is why.0

Sorry that you are still not feeling better, but I'm glad that your cholesterol levels are down.
I am still not up to par, but I am determined to at least try to go to my fitness class tomorrow. If I have to stop halfway through, so be it. I also managed to eat healthier today than I have in the last week, but it's still a far cry from "healthy". I don't know how I haven't gained weight.0 -
Good morning, All! Welcome back, Brettle! Gosh, this place really works for support!
@starsonlyone Yikes! Get some groceries in your belly, girl!
@nuttyengineer Eat your greens, mister!!! Did I sound motherly?
@ the rest of you, wish me luck with my EMS shift today and night. I volunteer with our local Corp, but these folks love their food! Catch yall later!0 -
It is a very interesting day today. I didnt get much sleep. Been up since 9am EST... and eatten two nice meals today.. I feel really good.0

Hey everyone,
I've been off track the last week but getting myself together again now. At least I have been able to maintain my running training and I'm looking pretty good for the half marathon I have in 6 weeks.
We've entered what seems like the rainy season here, Spring, which I am finding a bit trying but looking forward to things getting nicer in the hopefully not so distant future.
That's all from me for now. Have a good weekend everyone :-)0 -
So i inputted my last meal and thought i calculated the calories right. I didnt so i went over about 400 points but didnt take in considertion that i spent over 4 hours spring cleaning the kitchen.. So i put it in for half the time.. for breaks and rests.. to be on the safe side. I am good but i need to pay more attention0
-
Have three days off from work...but I'm sick. ;-< Oh well, trying to stay on track. Been doing well with tracking everyday (Getting to see where I'm spending all those calories!). Have a great day everyone.0

Terrific picture, starsonly! Spring cleaning, ugh! Reminds me that I need to dust the ceiling fans! Surely no one looks up there, right?
Well, hello to you all, and have a super day!0 -
Great haircut Stars! Today I bought a whole bunch of good, healthy food.0
-
Howdy! energy levels coming back - made it to the gym yesterday and did a moderate workout, took advantage of lovely spring weather and went for a walk today. yay!
Thanks for the encouragement!0 -
Welcome back to the world of the living @bhagarmckee
I had a really fun weekend, party on Saturday night and 16km (10 mile) long run on Sunday which was the best weather we've had here in many months, sunny and beautiful.0 -

The last couple of weeks I've been pretty good about avoiding them but I gave in on Thursday and Friday and am too afraid to actually log the calories.
Hopefully I will do better next week. I will at least probably be right at my calorie goal today.
Co workers with deserts are the worst!!! So hard to pass up during the monotany of reg work day.

Today has not been a good day so far. I went to the hospital to get a bone scan.. Well its one thing that I weigh too much for the machine but when the tech found out about me being called a female name his attitude and everything changed. I felt so humiliated and he just seemed to have a complete loathing to me. While i was walking out of the hospital i was in tears. a nice lady took me down to the Quality office and they took my complaint but I should never have had to deal with that,0
