I really want to get down to a healthier weight, I am finding it harder to work out or even walk with the weather.0 -
Put on some music and just dance! Any exercise is better than none.0

thanks izzy-- Not mad at myself because I know I really did do ok with the choices I made- one of which was to enjoy myself. I was just shocked! And I think maybe my scale was a little off because I am almost back to where I was.- or maybe it was some water weight- who knows..... The journey continues0

Eating Breakfast To Boost Workout
"If you exercise in the morning eat breakfast ideally one hour before your workout. Most of the energy you got from dinner the previous night will already be used up, and your blood sugar may be low, which could cause you to feel sluggish during your workout. If you plan to exercise within an hour after breakfast, have a small snack and then refuel afterward." MC

Good Morning Everyone & TGIF!
That means that we really need to prepare for the weekend. The weekend is when most people will have trouble staying focused on the meal plan. Most functions such as family Sunday dinners, festivals, weddings, mean great food and good times. Its the very thing that trigger that feel good eating and without thought, we give in. I my self will be face with this both Saturday & Sunday. I am very nervous and trying to plan a head to stay on track.
I have scene the scale start moving downward again and I don't want to mess it up. So let us all plan to enjoy the weekend, but stay on track. Have a great weekend and enjoy.0 -
Izzy- you are so motivational to us all. Don't get down on yourself. As you know its a long slow process. Hang in there!!! A loss is a loss and next week will be better0

Thanks so much, but I am never really down. I see off moments as learning opportunities. I was down another pound and feeling great. By 9am I had already walked 3 miles and yesterday I walked close to 16,000 steps by the time for bed. So that's close to 7 miles plus I did a 1 hour of HIIT class, cleaned the hold house, mop and wax floors, cleaned windows, changed linens on 2 beds, wash & folded 6 loads of cloths, then did a manicure & pedicure on a customer. So my energy was really up and it felt great.

Well not such a good day for me... Diet wise..... Work functions around food are difficult to manage, especially at restaurants... (My company had a breakfast meeting and then continued to a lunch meeting) Thank God I worked out this morning.. Hoping for a better weekend...0

“Often, snacks aren't eaten because you’re hungry, but because you are bored or are simply used to munching while you engage in certain activities.” A better way to snack, is to optimize the timing of healthy snacks between your meals. “Smaller meals and intentional small snacks help you regulate your blood sugar throughout the day, avoiding large ‘feast or famine’ swings,".

I exercised every day this week - Body Pump 2x, Spin, Step, and this class called Functional Step. I also walked over 10k steps every day this week. I think the loss is low because the week before we so high and included some water weight loss. I'm just going to continue on my path - weigh all my food, not eat my exercise calories, and continue to go to the gym - and hope for a better weigh in next week0 -
Way to go ladies, everyone is doing wonderful. This group really is a great group, everyone is posting and keeping
up to date with progress. It helps keep everyone motivated. Thanks to all.0 -
So Sweet, So Dangerous
"Excess sugar is one of the most obvious weight-gain-causing culprits, and there may be larger problems lurking beneath sugar’s sweet façade. “The obvious issues are obesity and tooth decay, but sugar also increases your risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and especially fatty liver, which is a growing problem”.
Are You Consuming too much sugar? Consider that the American Heart Association recommends no more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar a day for women and 9 teaspoons a day for men, but most Americans consume more like 22 teaspoons daily. To give yourself an idea how much you’re eating, take the number of grams of sugar per serving in your food and divide by four — that’s how many teaspoons of added sugar are in each serving. One example is 1can of coke cola=9.5 teaspoons of sugar!
Interestingly, swapping sugar substitutes for table sugar doesn't necessarily add up to weight loss. For example, diet soda sweetened with aspartame has consistently been linked to obesity and risk for metabolic syndrome.
The problem with a diet high in added sugars is that it usually means that the diet is lacking in a variety of other nutrient-rich foods that would provide more fiber and important vitamins and minerals. Foods with a lot of added sugars also usually contain a lot of unhealthy saturated and even trans fats, which are unhealthy for the heart and generally high in calories. " WH
