    @lupie777 it's nuts! I can't wait until it's over. I always ask myself why I chose this profession every year lol. But good news, today wasn't a total bust. Managed to get a half hour walk in with the pup!

    Good morning Happy Feet! I wanted to first say great job everyone so far this week. Second is we have a new team member she is nailpro00. She is taking the spot of X3nicolette.
    So let's welcome her aboard and friend request her. I'll help her get started and show her the ropes.
    Keep up the great work everyone!
    Oh and I'm going to do the points for week 1 today.

    Welcome @nailpro00
    @ashorey87 tax season sounds stressful! This is a really busy time at work for me as well and I just do my best and try not to feel guilty. Thankfully I see a personal trainer 2 times a week, so I at least have 2 workouts a week.
    The weather here has been so nice. I'm hoping I can fit an extra walk in with the dogs tonight when I get home. One of my pups is a senior with bad arthritis, so we don't always make it far but even a little bit is good.

    So i realized today why i keep on sabotaging myself with not eating healthy choices throughout the day, and why i over eat. I don't eat breakfast and by the time i get home from work at 11am i am starving! I eat whatever i can find, but I can never wake up early enough to eat breakfast. When i do wake up early I don't have enough energy to do anything but to drag myself out of bed 15 mins before work so making breakfast feels like a humongous chore, does anyone have any advice? Really would appreciate it.

    and welcome on board nailpro00

    You could do yogurt, boiled eggs and fresh fruit which is always quick and healthy to grab for breakfast. Just grab it and go :-) @vjcarrillo

    Pick a day of the week as your "cook day". Prepare meals and chop veggies and put meals into containers. I, too, do not like to get up early but I have to have breakfast. On Sundays, I use my muffin pan and make breadless muffins. I put an egg in each muffin tin and then I add what ever strikes my fancy. Could be bacon, sausage, veggies, cheese or a combo. Sometimes I break the yoke and mix everything together before putting into the muffin tins and sometimes I do not break the yoke and just add the ingredients into the muffin tin and push them into the egg whites. Then I bake them at 400 for 13 minutes. They are yummy and filling. I eat 2 every day for breakfast. They are fine either hot or cold. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153809314033387&set=a.10150533968358387.373166.726198386&type=3

    I agree, food prep and pre-planning! I always have foods prepared and frozen to combine, some meala froze, meals in the fridge...and that's for all meals; breakfast, lunch, supper & snacks. I always have my lunch bag packed ahead of time and in the fridge to pull out for when I go out the door in the morning (all family members); contains all my food (including breakfast), water, supliments & whatever else. I always have meals ready in the fridge when I'm home too.

    I tend to meal plan, too, and freeze the leftovers into single portions for quick lunches/dinners. I love slow mornings but for when that can't happen I tend to make one of these:

    Very nice, happy to help!
    Protein is the best way to start the day; solid, longer lasting energy.

    I can't wait to finish the work week. 3pm Saturday, I'll be off work for a whole 41 hours and I'll be busting my butt at the gym as soon as I'm free! Great job team, you're all doing fantastic! Keep it up!

    Whew.. what a Friday. It was a hungry day (do you ever have those?) and a sleepy day. But, I didn't go super far over in calories and got over 10,000 steps even though I didn't want to. Here's to a hopefully-not-so-hungry tomorrow. Happy Friday, Happy Feet!
