    Well I pulled up my big girl pants and went outside today (after I had to talk myself into doing it for about 20 mins) and was able to get 45 minutes of a jog/walk in before it started raining again. Already feel better getting some exercise in, I need to remember that I always feel more energized after working out.

    It’s not so bad! It rained a little yesterday and it was chilly but I made 3.5 miles happen. Today I got 2 in. We got this!

    Good afternoon all. Hope you are making progess no matter how small or incremental.

    Had a pretty light lunch today with cucumbers and hummus to start with s chicken salad sub. Actually putting my yogurt on hold since I wasn’t hungry for it. That’s a rarity for me since I usually eat all food I pack.

    I will try to get another 3-mile + run in today. It’s helping a ton, I am sleeping so sound and don’t ache the way I usually do from a daily office lifestyle. Cheers.

    The weather is gorgeous here today, the wind is a little chilly but the sun feels great! Got a 20 minute toning walk in plus a 30 minute jog/walk. Now I'm sitting in the sun enjoying a little relaxation until the kids get home from school and all becomes hectic. Thinking I'll squeeze another walk in while the kids are at soccer practice, it's just too nice to sit around, especially with the chance of rain we have tomorrow. Got to get it while the gettings good!

    I started on April 8th, 2018 so far 14 lbs down. I know is fast but I'm scared to eat normal. I did the 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse by JJ Smith . After 10 days now I'm drinking 1 smoothie a day, one small healthy meal such as a salad a day, healthy snacks e.g. cucumbers, fruits, and drinking 3 liters of water a day. I don't exercise much trying to tho. I started doing Zumba today for an hour. How did I motivate myself? long story I posted a long story on Introduce Myself the beginning of my healthy start to a new life. But I need help I don't want to lose so much so fast and at the same time I want to keep on doing this. I have never lasted so long. Please help!

    My weekend was quit the challenge. I ate a very healthy dinner, fish, brown rice and asparagus. But blew it later with wine...ugh! Saturday we spent chasing a 2 year old at the ball park, so I felt I did good there. Sunday, as beautiful as it was outside, spent most of the day indoors with chores. I wish I would have taken the time for a bike ride or walk. This morning I logged my food, but missed my 20 minute walk at break, worked right through it. Hoping my connection here will keep me more accountable.

    Had a trip to Boston which derailed my momentum a bit, so I am taking a few days off from tracking. Though I got about 25 miles of walking in so all wasn’t totally lost. Will resume running and moderation today but just don’t feel like logging in. See you soon.

    Ok, back again. Put back on some weight unfortunately so it’s time to bounce back with renewed vigor. I want to eat even less and start running and lifting more. At least 1 exercise activity a day.

    Had a busy weekend, lots of hiking and not the best foods but also not a lot of food, kept drinking plenty of water. Busy day of weeding and mulching today and we're still not done yet but treated ourselves to deer steak, morrel mushrooms and a baked potato. YUM! I hope everyone is doing well and I'll post again soon.

    I’m new to this app & to tracking my calories and looking to go from 212 to 185. I started using this app for a 5 week fitness challenge, I’m about half way through now. Been doing 30ish minute high intensity workouts almost every day and (per the app’s goal setter) keeping myself to 1800 calories a day. Have a weigh-in this week to check progress, so I’m crossing my fingers & will let you guys know where I’m at.

    Ok, had a good today yesterday. Lifted weights this morning and got some walking in. Ate light for lunch and will have a salad with chicken for dinner. I feel like I am back on track. Let’s do this!

    Mentally smacking my hand away from trying to grab yet another snack.... Time to get out of the house and away from the kitchen for a bit!
