I had to go back and count my Green days. I was off, but I've got it straight now. Today was just a strength training day. I may try for a run tomorrow morning.
@k80flec I hope you are starting to feel better. Those little kids can get you every time.
@Rebamae Glad your family and home were safe!
@bbinoa I hear spinning is a great way to burn some calories. I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my things to do.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins You're on a streaking roll. Keep it up!
@jenthibert I know you'll do well tomorrow when you go out with the girls. Just remember to enjoy the company more than the food and drinks. Have fun!0 -
Traveling w work for most of the week. Will report when I get back to home base. Continue the streaks!!!0

Has anyone else tried Yasso frozen greek yogurt bars? I'm a huge ice cream fanatic and these are amazing! 100 calories, 5 grams of protein. Ive tried salted caramel and chocolate chip cookie dough. Seriously taste like super creamy ice cream. Yum!

@Bbinoa, going to look for those bars, both sound super yummy! Thanks for sharing 0 -

I'm definitely getting my stride back. It was a training day today so I did a quick run.
@R_Queenie Have safe travels! Looking forward to a positive report.
@Bruceapple You're streaking nicely. Way to get it done!
@Rebamae Glad you're getting your stride back too!
@2marsh It's challenging when you're extremely busy. Just try to take some time for you.
@bbinoa I've never tried Yasso. I actually haven't seen it in the stores, but I'll now be in the lookout. I may give them a try.
@jenthibert I KNEW you could do it!!! Good for you! I hope you enjoyed girl's night out.0 -

I've decided that it might be a good idea to shift my "green" to maintenance calories or a very small deficit for a few weeks. Feeling like my recent trouble staying green has been about dieting fatigue and it's not worth it. I'm at a healthy weight now. Most days I feel good about how I look. My fiance likes the way I look. The winter weight is gone. Maybe I'll feel better in a few weeks and ready to back to losing, but I feel like a need a little break. Still gonna keep my "green" # of days goal - not looking to go crazy, just going to up the calories a bit for awhile.
@bbinoa Those sound delish! I will have to try them! I'm also a big fan of Outshine Fruit & Veggie bars, but those have a fair amount of sugar and NO protein, so Yasso might be a better option.
@Rebamae Yeah, streaking! Get it!!!
@tatho2014 Nice streak!

7/22 - green, thanks to yoga instructor Lorie.
21/25
Streak - 20 - also thanks to Lorie, who would find the idea of me as a streaker hilarious
Seriously, making it to yoga today kept me in the green. I had a large skinny raspberry frappe at lunch today because I was burning up. The AC is out at my office. It's a mostly glass building and it was in the mid-80's today. Combined with well over 100 PCs running, it got bad by my 1pm lunch.0 -
Still 18/25 since today is red. That said, I didn't completely blow it. I made good choices for breakfast and lunch but when your hubby of 20 years grills amazing steak tips and cooks all the sides to celebrate? It's OK to be red.
I've gained and lost weight a few times before. I have to say that my perspective is so different this time. Maybe it's because of this anniversary, my daughter turning 15 and my son going into his senior year and looking at colleges but things feel completely different this time. Food is still part of the celebration but I'm focusing less on it. We make what we love and completely enjoy it together. And yes, I've had two glasses of wine and am feeling sentimental but things really do feel different these days.0 -
Wow I thought I did this much earlier!
What can I say, old age is the excuse

I really had a "binge" eating episode last night. But went to bed before it became serious.
Talk to you tomorrow

Just did a little strength training today.
@2marsh I loved transitioning to maintenance once I found my happy place. Since I enjoy eating, I can always use the extra calories. Sounds like you're doing what's best for you, and that's what's most important.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Sorry about the no air condition. That sounds like my worse nightmare. Glad you were able to stay green thanks to Yoga.
@jenthibert You're loving life right now, and that's awesome! Glad you enjoyed the celebration.

Thanks so much for all the support, everyone! You all are so terrific. Today was good. Enjoyed the extra cals. Went on a nice 3-mile run.
@jenthibert Sounds like you're in a wonderful, balanced place.
@Rebamae Stopping mid-binge can be so hard and super powerful - even if the only way to do it is to put yourself to bed! Hope today was good for you.0 -

I may be on a 7 day streak or something but not sure.
@jenthibert sounds like you are at a great place. We're you celebrating your anniversary? Congrats!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins. ... hope the office cooled down. We have the opposite program. It's 90 outside and I'm wearing more sweaters than January. I guess shivering burns calories?
@2marsh very nice run!0 -
19/25 green on July 23. Have to be green after an 11 mile walk! Lol0

I enjoyed a little light stroll today. Of course that doesn't compare to the 11 miles walked by @jenthibert . You're making me look bad. Ha!
Keep up the good work everyone!0 -
7/23 - green
22/25
Streak 21 days.
They did get the AC fixed sometime yesterday evening, so it was better today, but still warmer than usual. I suspect that part of the fixed involved telling the menopausal boss lady that 68F is not an appropriate temperature to try to keep our office.
Y'all are doing great this month. Keep up the good work.0 -

I haven't been good about exercise this week so the 11 miles made up for it, lol. You average that out over the week and it doesn't look so great!0 -

@jenthibert 11 miles is awesome no matter how you look at it!
@Rebamae Hope the MRIs bring helpful answers and that you're feeling better soon.0
