For my check in so far I have logged this week but not as well at the start of the week, but that's getting better. Rome wasn't built in a day....and since I'm pretty much starting over I'm counting going walking with the hubby and out 2 dogs as my new thing....I discovered I still hate it and the lottle dog hates me now for draging him alomg so time to dust the cobwebs off the old bike and start cycling again. I will say that today my eating was on point and no soda today so that's better too. Let's see if I can keep this streak up tomorrow when I'm not home all day. #stillhatewalking #mustloseweight

Two good days, feeling positive! If I could just get my house clean too.... lol

Summer - I find walking really boring too so I go on my own and take an MP3 player to distract me!

Jltheis7 - Thanks

Friday, finally has arrived, i am a zombie today, i took my kids to the fair yesterday and i ate french fries 3 bites if pizza and 3 deep fried oreos (seriously i cant explain this) and a few mini donuts. i also drank 2l of water, walked around for hours and relaxed which i dont do enough of. I am going to try and log my food lol!

Anyways this weekend is going to be very busy for me, tomorrow is my weigh in and then next week is the last week of school for the kids yay!!

I have been meeting my goals even started some strength training.

Time to go back to work

Hiya
Couldn't resist the scales this morning, have lost 7lb since my last weigh in couple of weeks ago :}

Had a few drinks with my other half last night, decided a mountain of Krispy Kreme dougnuts would be a GREAT idea... but husband asked me if I really wanted to ruin a good run, and popped out and got us chocolate that I had enough cals left for instead.

Off for a walk around a town near us today, and visiting the his grandparents.. who will feed our children as much cake as they can get away with whilst we're there *sigh* I know that's what grandparents are for but it still bugs me how OTT they go with junk food for the kids whilst simultaneously telling us we need to lose weight..

Anyway, have a great weekend every one

Love the growth mindset of this group! I was stuck with some negative thoughts and logged in here. You guys always jolt me out of my old unhealthy thoughts...thank you!

For my something different, I downloaded a new HIIT playlist. It made my old workout new again. So fun, I am replaying it while doing housework...and sweating or as a friend calls it, making the fat cry.

Nassi, congrats on the loss. Keep at it and you can be in the dress you want to be in in that wedding.

HLaR79, mat, Mimi, remember a life worth living is one that has balance so enjoy the fair food, walk, drink water, and get back on track.

I stayed on track for friday, stumbled saturday due to other crap and have had a good day today

I am asking my husband to start walking with me, i hope it will motivate me some more!

I need to exercise i must move more

Italian, a suggestion for an upcoming mini goal, what recipes do yiu like to make for a mid day lunch/quick midweek dinner?

So, I did really great last week hitting my stated goals - I have this board to thank for that!

I logged 72k steps (30.6 miles) last week, surpassing my 10k per day goal with a rest day yesterday. YAY ME!

We went out of town Saturday with a 3 hour car ride each way and a lot of sitting. I remembered to pump the water on Friday, and even with all the sitting, heat and humidity, I didn't swell up too badly. Some, but manageable and it's all gone this morning (Mobday).

I did manage to do "some" arm exercises 4 days this week, exceeding my goal by a day. I definitely could have made a bigger effort and done more when I did.

Now, when I weighed in yesterday, I said a quick hallelujah, because even still retaining some fluid, I was down 6, almost 7 pounds this week! On the heels of 5# last week! Amazing!!! I haven't had losses like this since the first few weeks... and that was over 5 months ago!

THANK YOU for keeping me accountable and encouraged!
