Exercise: yes, took the kids to Energi and joined them, its a great big trampoline place - Brilliant!
Goals/Day: I did 30 minutes of mindful walking which I try to do every day to control my stress levels.

My sons 18th birthday and we spent quite a bit of time altogether at the local trampoline place, which was great exercise. water intake good.3 -

Daily Post: 4/7 (Sunday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Goal: 1500/Actual: 1147
Exercise Yes; Zombies, Run! (The Object is a Hungry Wolf) (37 mins - walking around community room)
Goals: Look to solutions to food shortage issues without screwing up calories and nutrition.
I realized today that I have $1 until May 3. I may have a small amount of a credit line available for next week's groceries, the week after no. I do get $39 in food stamps the following week. I have stuff in my pantry that I have had for awhile such as ravioli that I don't eat as it's not on my diet. However, beggers can't be choosers. I will do what I can. Fasting every other week is not an option. I will go to a food pantry when I need to.0 -

Sunday, 4/7 Check in (Week 2)
Username: Toyota100
PW: 225.0

Moving down a tad bit. I tracked 4/7 days, so it helped some. I'm going to continue tracking as much as possible. I know tracking works for me. The scale moves only if I stay accountable and work out.

Daily Post (Sunday 4/07)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes; changed intake: 1800 to 1500; tracking on point, time to get more serious.
Exercise: Yes 50 mins
20m combo sets of resistance & cardio engaging both upper & lower body.
10m abs
20m walk outside
Daily Goals: ACHIEVED! 3 personal points~ for mindset with morning affirmations and improve my night routine/habits to stop after dinner binges. Now the KITCHEN IS CLOSED. Teeth brushed. And in bed.
I felt funky all day even though I was on a high from the loss and rewarding myself with a bath and french manicure. I tried not to be snippy to hubby but felt like it. The calorie change might be good for weekdays, then maybe adjust to for weekends. I'm finding success in planning meals and pre-logging them. It takes “thinking” about what to have at the time of the meal. I will have to think about this week, I have two upcoming things this week: volunteering at the gate for tickets and a wedding on Saturday! The wedding would be fine in and of itself, but we have to travel 3 hours each way. Just focus on today!

Well this works out. The dish guy is here. So I volunteered to be confined to the office for about 30-60 minutes with the dog. Guilt-free catch-up time! heh-heh
@Fitgirllife72~ I hope that your daughter (& you) had a wonderful 13th birthday celebration. You are tracking and keeping up with exercise. And had a nice loss this week! Awesome!! Alcohol-free! Congratulations! I know that’s not easy. Sounds like you are doing really good, and doing good things for yourself. Thanks for sharing. <<hugs>> Sunday check in.. double workout week! Dang girl!! I did my cardio/resistance sets for the first time in a long time! That’s my double… lol!
I hope that after my year off the wagon, that this time it truly clicks for me too. Or if I ever get off again (which I’m sure I will) it won’t last as long and my weight doesn’t ALL come back. I’m 51 now, as I approached 50 I was feeling great. But then later that year I don’t know what happened, I inflated again! So I need to learn to catch that trigger sooner. And self-talk is huge!! Finding something in the process that excites you IS a key. I want the pain in my body to go away. I don’t need to be a marathon runner; just someone who can walk out the door on a nice day to take a 20-30 minute walk and not be in pain that night or the next day. It’s MY PROCESS and no one else’s.
@j0d13mcc~ Thank you for your post of how you don’t deprive yourself, so it seems easier to stay on track. That’s what I need to learn to do. Great NSV too! Especially the energy and how you feel. Great loss this week. Awesome!! Good Sunday post and fun-fun jumping around… look at that energy!!
@MaelynMayhem~ Look at that loss! And another good Sunday post. You are doing so good with exercise. Awesome!! Hopefully you can make it work with what you have for food. If you have any canned vegetables, you can make the ravioli into two meals. Do your best to balance it out. <<hugs>>
@LuluLovinLife~ It looks like the gym did the trick. Yeah!! Remember that motivation is what gets you started and that determination is what develops habits. We know you can do it.
@Tomkinsone~ Great Saturday workout. Being mindful and not beating ourselves up is a key to long-term success. You had a great week. Those lbs will come right back off. Keep working it girl!
@tlgale~ Thanks for sharing the report for the first week of April from the Biggest Loser thread. @dillyg08 - “weigh” to represent our team by coming in 2nd for biggest loser for week 1. Yeah!! And “weigh” to go TEAM… overall we came in 2nd! And a big Whooot! Whoot!
We lost Run Track Minds - 37.5 lbs. And to our top three HOORAY THE LBS ARE MELTING AWAY:
Run Track Minds
1st - @dillyg08. - 3.09%
2nd - @FitGirlLife72. - 2.77%
3rd - @maejestique. - 1.80%
@tlgale~ You do an amazing job at being a Captain of our team. I’m saddened that you feel that you are so far gone. I completely get where you are at!! I hope it doesn’t take you as long to get back on track as it did me. (almost a year- UGH. right!!?) So what did I learn to be able to share with you? First of all, stop beating yourself up. Say kind words to yourself. Make a list of 5 things that YOU CAN DO!
Eat a healthy & good breakfast to get your day started (& log it.)
Take 5 minutes of YOU time, no matter what.
Think of a reward that you want; something you can afford to buy at the end of the week. And use that thing as your motivation for the week to get your eating back on track. Truly make it desirable. I use small things like…. I had a gift once of foot scrub. I never bought it for myself. But loved it!! I am using that as my reward to stay binge free this weekend.
Stretch and breath; while reminding yourself that YOU CARE ABOUT YOU!
Think about ONE habit that you want to change. Write it down. Then daily revisit it and figure out how to make it a habit.
Remember the oxygen mask scenario when flying? You need to put your mask on first before you can help anyone else. All said with love and kindness. If I were there, I’d come take you for a walk. <<hugs>> Hope you find the tracks, soon. Even if you don’t jump right back on them, at least walk along them. We’ll help pull you back on.
@JamieD328 ~ Hey you!! Smile. Making the choice to join this group and now checking in daily is a great step in the right direction!! Write down one goal for each day. Whatever you want it to be. 10 minutes of walking OR tracking breakfast and lunch! Make these steps towards progress. And set yourself up for success. Get used of achieving your goals. They don’t have to be huge, moving forward slowly IS PROGRESS. You can do it. Turn that frown upside down and focus on the I CAN!! Just for today.. I CAN!
@RileyHeavy~ Yeah… lost another lb! Awesome!!
@Toyota100~ Your tracking was over 50%. Yes!! Keep that up, like you said accountability and being mindful. You can do it. Make a goal of 7/7 and give yourself a reward!! That for me makes it more fun.
@maejestique~ Hope you are feeling better. Amazing how the scale still moved for you even though it wasn’t a perfect week. Your doing something right. Here we go.. Week 2!!
@Longshore~ You got this!!
@Gustaaf85~ Watch out… here we come. @RunTrackMinds!!
@Stricklee11~ Whooot! Whooot! lbs going away!
Okay... now the dish guy needs to go. I have a routine!!! LOL

Monday April 8
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: No
Goals or Day: Sorry I didn't post this weekend (I'm not on the computer much when I'm not at work!). Went to the local community festival and had a blast! Did a ton of walking (over 6 miles- that's a ton for me). Had a burger and fries from one food truck for lunch and then steamed jumbo shrimp from another near dinner time (with a few bites of my other half's pork belly and rice). Still lost weight! I didn't get terrible things (like the deep fried oreos!), but still indulged. That's what makes this a lifestyle instead of a diet! Happy Monday everyone!

I was terrible at tracking over the weekend. I realized that I "forgot" things. Doing better with water. Had a super cheat day on Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. Really regret it, but back for more success this week.2 -

Terrible weekend...ate lots of fried foods and lots of whiskey. But had a wonderful time in Puerto Rico!! Now back to my regular schedule 😁6 -
Hi team! Just wanted to check in and say I'm back from my trip so I will pick back up with daily posts this week! I'm a little nervous for weigh in this week, because I took a mental break and just ate what I wanted on this trip. I'm hoping its not too bad considering we also walked 7 or more miles a day which is way above my normal step count. Hoping those two cancelled out some what! But while I am bummed to be back to reality, I am super excited to get back on track with my normal nutritional routine! I'm hoping that is a sign that this time it truly is a lifetime routine, because historically if I fell off the wagon I just continued to stay off and find excuses to continue to eat whatever I wanted. Today I am super excited to get back to eating healthy, nutritious foods! Fingers crossed!4

@jwall309 Went to that mall that had the Shake Shack this weekend. I told my husband about it and he was fired up to take the journey! The drive was about a hour. We go to Illinois on a regular basis to eat. However, I didn't go to the Shake Shack. I did take a picture of it, but don't know how to upload from the computer. The outlet mall was very upscale though. Lot's of restaurants. We ate at the Cheese Cake Factory. We haven't been there in quite sometime. There was three new restaurants I can't wait to try 1. Epic Burger 2. Shake Shack and 3. Nando's Peri Peri. I did get a shake from Epic Burger and it was ok. Let me know if you have the other two restaurants in the DC/Maryland area too?

Daily Post (Monday 4/08)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes; Day 2 of lower intake. I have an extra weekly reward for myself for 7 days of no binging.
Exercise: Yes 10 mins
10 Min outside; 5m downhill then back up.
Daily Goals: ACHIEVED! 4 personal points~ for mindset with morning affirmations and improve my night routine/habits to stop after dinner binges. Now the KITCHEN IS CLOSED. Teeth brushed. And in bed.
Today didn’t go as planned; but it wasn’t a total flop. So I am going to continue to find ways to stay on track & count the positives, regardless of how the schedule gets messed up. I am going to continue to do my best and be kind, even if it's not a perfect day... I'm still getting in check marks. My focus is primarily on tracking food and making those hard, but good choices; and exercise today was a bonus!! Making small habit changes, like finding spots to park that are further away.

Daily Post: (April 8)
Track: yes
Calories: Yes; goal 1370, food 1144, cal remain 226
Exercise: yes, spent day walking at the park.
Goals/Day: took Monday off of work to spend the day with my boyfriend. We headed out early to go fishing at the lake and we didn’t catch anything. Left there and drove to the river to fish there, fishing was no good there either, so we hiked along the river and walked some trails. We were out and about for a good 5-6 hours. Was a beautiful day. Kept my water intake positive.2 -
@Fitgirllife72~ Hooray on the double workout! WOW! I’m excited to see what kind of results you get. Did you measure any body parts before starting? Do you measure on a regular basis at all? I last measured in January.
@Jammypea~ woooo hoooo on the loss!
@Tomkinsone~ Sounds like a great day! Yeah for you.
