@NadiaMayl I have family in Houston! My sister and her husband cannot get out of their neighborhood so they got the day off work and my cousin had to go help a friend who was stuck in his car in waist deep water! I hope you stay safe out there! I will be out there in June and I hope its not like this lol0

@heatherc369 we are safe. We're in the 'burbs in a no-flood area, but kids got day off and husband decided not to drive to the office... The highways are pretty bad. It's a good, lazy, day!0

Made it to Spin class regardless of flooded streets and school still being cancelled! Last four days have been a little tougher and I have been 'straying' a bit from precise nutrition... these days of the month just kick my butt! Hoping the 'funk' wears out after a good night sleep tonight!! Our school district just announced YET one more day of classes being cancelled... sigh... at least my kids are old enough to be left for an hour to make it to the gym... Just tired this week!!!

I had to dig out some skinnier jeans from storage this week! Yay! Still have 1 size down left in my stockpile. Not going to buy new ones until I reach my goal of 129lbs.1

I fell off the wagon, big time! At least with food. I still exercised. But let's just say, it's dangerous to keep frosting.in your fridge and cake in your cupboards! Oy vey....0
-
@Ktmc132 Gota love it! I am doing the same thing lol I kept 3 dif sizes of jeans as i grew out of them and slowly I am fitting back into all of them....
@AZI1983 Its a new day girl, do your best to rid yourself from temptation then before you know it, those old temptations will not be as bad as before 1 -

@AZI1983 its good that you kept up the exercise!!! Don't throw in the towel.. its a new day! I have quit keeping those major temptations in the house. My kid is happy with berries, sugar-snap peas, cheese, yogurt.. a number of healthy snacks that I know I wont be tempted to binge on. I figure its part of teaching her to eat healthier so maybe she wont have the same struggles I have had with weight. She doesn't complain anymore.. usually.. lol!0 -

Hi all! Just a quick check in to say hi and report that I'm still on track! I have been struggling to get on here daily to check in...I'll have to remedy that!
@AZLisaLou HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you have a great day! 1 -
I was starting to wonder where you were @LilDebbieG710
-
Spinning completed! Craving Indian, so I decided to learn how to make an aromatic rice and tikka masala chicken! Gotta say, first attempt, very tasty!
Good to read you again, @LilDebbieG71 !
And happy birthday, @AZLisaLou !--how did we know it's her bday?!0 -
@LilDebbieG71 Thanks so much Debbie! I appreciate you!
@NadiaMayl I learned how to make tikka masala, and although not quite authentic, it was dang good! Now you got me thinking about it. Thank you for the birthday wishes. @LilDebbieG71 knew it was my birthday because we've been friends for quite a while now and we talk.
My dh gave me the money to buy a new blender for my birthday to replace the one I broke so now I get to have healthy, delicious smoothies for breakfast again! Yea!!! Can't wait for tomorrow morning!1 -
@AZLisaLou ahaaaa... that explains it!! YAY for the new blender... smoothie on away!!! I love making smoothies, that's what my kids have for breakfast every morning!0

I got in some cardio on the bike today. No strength training ...it was a rest day. Right now, I'm doing full body workouts, so I put at least one rest day in between strength workouts. My neck and shoulder are on the mend....woohoo!!!...so I don't want to over do it!
@heatherc369 Really! You were wondering where I was? That's so very sweet! Thank you! I will try to do better with checking in Gosh darn scales can be so frustrating!! I've started tracking my weight daily and watching my weekly average. So far it seems to be alleviating the frustration of the ever bouncing scale!
@AZLisaLou You know I appreciate you too! Enjoy your smoothie tomorrow!
@NadiaMayl Thank you! I used to spin at the gym, but I don't have a membership anymore. I do have a spin bike at home, but seem to gravitate to the regular stationary bike. I need to dust off my spin bike!!

@NadiaMayl and @AZLisaLou I have never had Indian food, now you guys got me curious! Recipes please???
@LilDebbieG71 Yes, hadn't heard from you so was starting to think you disappeared like many do , but glad to see you back! I weigh daily too, its both a blessing and a curse lol Hope your neck and shoulder get better soon!0 -

I normally will not come on here too much if at all on the weekends, have a good one!!0

Good morning lovely ladies I'm off to a good start today. I love Saturdays, having a little more time than I do during the work week. My husband is taking the kids to watch Jungle Book this morning. I'm going to do a full body work out plus cardio! Love it when I can fit both in on the same day! It's the little things right! LOL! Later, I'll be taking my daughter shopping for ball caps. She's been wearing a backwards ball cap to school this week and now claims 'Mommy, it's my new look!' I figure while she's rockin' this new look of hers, I'd let her go pick out her own ball cap....the one she's been wearing was a freebee she got from her soccer group last year. After that, it's groceries and some easy cleaning since I did manage to do most of it during the work week. Hope you all have an awesome weekend!! 1
-
Workout complete! Between cardio and strength training, I burned 732 calories!! Phew! Awesome workout 0
-
I did great yesterday, and my goal is an entire weekend of staying on track. I'm off to a good start today too.
I have my whole day planned out, and I hope I can stick with it. I'm feeling really motivated to accomplish my goal.
Only downside is it's grocery shopping day, which means the pantry and fridge will be stocked again. I will have to
fight off temptations. I can do this!1 -
I got in another good workout today...80 minutes on the stationary bike and burned 657 calories! I love my Polar heart rate monitor
@AZLisaLou You are doing so well!! Keep it up girl 1 -
So nice to read everyone's upbeat weekend attitude! Weekends are the toughest to sustain for me, kids at home, hubby and I love the crackers and cheese and wine, well... Wine (we try to avoid alcohol during the week), birthday parties, events, not wanting to cook during the weekend! So it's great to read everyone had a great weekend!
Mine was good too! We survived a long week of kids out of school due to flooding in our Texas area, impromptu spring break part 2!! Had friends over on Friday (kids play dates)! Then a grownup birthday outing into the city, which was lots of fun with dueling pianos and dancing! Went to a 75 min spinning class exactly for that occasion, LOL, extra wine calls for extra calories burned! Today was good too! Furniture window shopping and movies in the afternoon! Then I looked at my Polar watch and I only had 3400 steps and 36% of my daily activity goal ( at 7:30pm!!!)! So I sucked it up and jumped on the treadmill and put in 40 minutes while the hubs got the boys to bed and the kitchen clean!!!
Off to a good week start!!!!0
