Good Tuesday Morning Everyone-
I hope everyone survived the long weekend. I was out of town 3 days. Had 1 good day and 2 bad ones. Got one workout in and that helped. Need to make today-Thursday very productive so the scale is good to me Friday. My clothes are feeling a bit looser which is good, no one has commented that I look thinner. I really don't need the affirmation but I wonder at how many pounds downs it will be noticeable.
Welcome to all the new members! Glad you are here!
Here is a QOTD- What is a exercise hack that helps you get through a workout? Mine is listening to great podcast. Here are a couple of my favorites...Up and Vanished, Dirty John and Believed.
Anyone else love podcasts?4 -

Hi all!
Life is busy here, but seem to be staying on track. At least the best I can. Work has been insane, but in a good way.
QOTD: My exercise hack would be to listen to my favorites playlist on Pandora. I listen to podcast too. Arm Chair Expert is my favorite at the moment.
Happy Tuesday !!

Hi! I am in. I am married but husband is not on the same lifestyle so I will check here for inspiration now and then! After getting sick of clothes just being too tight I looked up leptin and leptin resistance and realized what works best for me is a high protein breakfast and cutting out processed foods (including the obvious breads, rice and sugar). Since I associate "fun" with "food" it's a challenge!6

@slider678 I think it takes people who see you often a long time to notice, because they've stopped looking at your shell and started looking at your heart. It always seems to takes ages anyway. As long as you nare doing something about the bad days they're not a disaster - they can be fixed.
exercise...I hate exercise, so my hack is to make bargains with my self...if you manage 30 mins on the bike you can go clothes shopping...it isn't working lol

Hello all. I am enjoying reading your posts.
My foot pain (achilles tendonitis) was a little less yesterday so I went for a long walk with the dogs. It was nice to walk like a normal person. Pain was back today unfortunately. I am going to start swimming tonight as an alternative. I walk like I am 97 instead of 57. It's depressing.
One of my goals for the year was to learn to make a good load of bread. I rarely eat bread that is packaged because it just doesn't have much taste to me. This weekend I made a loaf of 6 grain bread. Proud of myself because it turned out great. Very tasty and healthy.
Exercise Hack: Beach Body On Demand on my phone. I like the variety of workout choices and I can access it via my phone so it is doable anywhere. No excuses!

Exercise Hack: Pop music like a 16 yr old's play list....loud, dance music, Cardi B, Drake, Sia, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West...just embarrassing! lol Keeps me moving. Love it.5

Welcome to our newbies!
@tensquaredlives, would you mind sharing the recipe for the bread?
My exercise hack is to compete against myself. Except for today. I've been adding one minute to my bike riding each day. Today was an emotional, stressful day and I just didn't have it in me to do any exercise. I did "make" myself do 30 minutes though, thinking I might do the rest tonight, but it's not going to happen. Going to bed early and watch Arrested Development. That should help!7 -
slider678 Up and Vanished this season is about us here in Saguache (pronounced SAWATCH) County Colorado- we are 5th largest county in Colorado with less than 7,000 people beautiful but lots of places to hide a body..2

Alabama needs to wake up. This is from the CDC website.... I know that Alabama was number 1 in the past, and slowly I think Alabama is waking up. Scale Back Alabama is a good place to start.
I read things like this and I get mad at myself, then mad at the food company's, and the restaurants that want you to SUPER SIZE your order.
This must STOP NOW! For me anyway. I want to be a positive force in reversing the obesity in American and my state (Alabama) ... I may not make a monumental difference to the masses... but maybe.. just maybe.. I can change one person and that one person will be the one that can make a huge difference.4 -
Welcome to all the new members! This group is so positive and supportive, I know you will succeed checking in here.
I am not sure exactly what hack means but My exercise hack is trying to beat my speed from the last time. I use the map my ride or walk app, and I try to do my regular route just a little faster than the time before.
I don't listen to music, I like to just enjoy the quiet, (I am a high school teacher and sometimes quiet is such a treat), and reflect on my day.8
