Daily Post (Monday)
Track: YES
Calories: UNDER
Exercise: 1 hour at bootcamp class.
Goal/Day: Today I was still under but only by a 100 calories for my daily intake and after the intense workout at bootcamp I had a protein shake. Gotta admit the extra meal and protein shake has actually helped me to not be dragging after exercising, I like this feeling 🤗1 -

I decided to report this morning versus last night to make sure I stayed accountable. I was in the edge again last night. But I did it!! Yeah!! I can still feel the hormones trying to steer me in other directions, but I managed. I had extra calories, not planned just the way it worked out, and then I used them for my after dinner snack for a sandwich.2 -
Holidays! Social acceptance is to celebrate with food. Why!? Why can’t we take the focus off food and make it be about the relationships? Or plan a walk afterward or something that involvements movement? I had at one time insisted we celebrate my birthday by bowling. Well, then that turned into a pizza party. UGH!! LOL Why!? Darn food anyway!
@jwall309~ Holidays are so hard. Glad you’re talking your way through this. Yes, daily posts sure do help!
@Jammypea~ I have a protein no-bake-fake recipe that might help you resist sweets. I’ll share the recipe. I have to resist the candy jar daily at my office. So these No Bake Fakes, help me out… ALOT!! On a positive note. You had an overall loss for the month of April. Yeah!!
@ajaia2001~ That is awesome that the advice you received and decided to follow is working for you! Yes, I bet you do feel much better. Good for you! Have you measured body parts to also see the inches melt away? Not just the scale?
@MaelynMayhem~ YOU definitely have the right team spirit, a “Run Track MInd!” Awesome!! Run zombie girl, Run!
@Fitgirllife72 ~ Thanks for checking in! Another great “DF” day!
@Jactop ~ No shame in staying the same. It’s a tough battle over a holiday weekend. I gained, too.
But we’ll get back on track and do this!!
@Allyanne1 - Yes… we would love for you to stay part of the team and join us in May. Please message @AB2015 with your starting weight for May so you will be readded.
@Longshore~ Wooohoooo!! Nice loss to end the April’s contest! And a good loss for the month! Congrats! Keep working hard. You’re doing it!
The month of May will have 5 weeks. Week one starts on Sunday, April 28th. May ends on June 1st.

Hope you don't mind if I share a recipe.... if you prefer that this thread does NOT; please let me know. I won't post again and will message anyone who wants various recipes.
Mix all the dry ingredients then add the wet. Add one cup of water to the wet ingredients. After well mixed, spray an 8x8 pan. Then put the mix into the pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight. I cut it into 16 squares. Yummo!! It might take a little tweaking on your part for your tastebuds. But for me, this truly gives me the satisfaction of a No Bake Cookie.

What about using PB2 instead of regular? It's a touch lower in calories, a good deal lower in fat, and sugar. But anyways, would it work in the recipe?0

Wow I came in 3rd for loss. 👏👏😂 I have been off track due to a lot of extra activities lately. I’m trying to get back on track.... have company in town from Arizona and on May 2nd I head to Florida for an extended weekend. I plan to try and stay focused. 🤞1

Daily Post ( Monday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over but only by 150ish
Exercise: No
Water: Getting there
Day: a much better day after this weekend. I felt like I was still overly full until lunchtime yesterday, so I ended up skipping my packed breakfast, which turned out fine. Scale is making its way back down. BF and I plan to play tennis sometime this week, and a friend is going to show me the outdoor walk she takes when its nice out that can either be 3 or 5 miles depending, so I'll probably start doing that before I rejoin a gym sometime over the summer. I'm taking a gym break for financial reasons so I'm trying to find ways to still exercise especially outside before it gets too hot and humid.1 -
Great question @MaelynMayhem. Yes!! PB2 works great in the recipe. You are so right. 8T of it with the dry ingredients. I make it with that, too. The recipe I posted actually is crunchy peanut butter, as I wanted that extra texture for a difference. And... sometimes I use almond extract or mint extract to give it a little something different.MaelynMayhem wrote: »What about using PB2 instead of regular?

I make 2 batches at one time. Then cut up. Put 2 into snack baggies. Then freeze. Then I'm all set for a couple of weeks. If I do make two batches, I label a gallon size bag to make sure I know which is which.
Enjoy!!1 -

@Tomkinsone~ It’s so hard when we aren’t in our normal routine. Is there anything you can do like… Have the same exact breakfast, morning snack, afternoon, evening snack (or beverage); then you know what those calories total. And then you will only have to juggle what to attempt to have for lunch and dinner. ❓ And hopefully your company will walk with you. If not, get up early to get to the gym time. You can do it!!
@jwall309~ Glad you’re Monday went well and you’re getting there. Outside exercises…. For sure walking. Thanks for sharing, as it made me think about what more I can do, too …..
If you have a patio or deck, go out in the cool evening or morning and do some Yoga or stretches. Then sit and enjoy your coffee and listen to the birds. (I live in the country and love the morning sounds!!) Other ways of getting in some exercise. Be sure to park a distance from your normal parking spot and walk to your destination. When you go grocery shopping, walk the entire store; then shop. I know it’s not major cardio burning. But changing your routine to incorporate more steps; will become habit. Tennis will be fun! What about going to a park to throw a frisbee? Or jump rope!? Hula-hoop!? Basketball? Whatever you do, have fun!
GO TEAM….. 🏃🛤😉 … LOL I am trying to come up with a logo for us.

Right!! Congratulations!! 🎈🙌2 -
@j0d13mcc - Thanks for posting on the May registration page. Hopefully, newcomers will want to join. There is something about a spark of new energy and excitement that helps us keep going forward. Hope you all agree.
Go team .. 🏃 🛤 😉. LOL
So true and this group is such a great bunch of people!! It really has helped me this month... especially when I wasn’t well and I’ve needed to slow down a bit in the exercise front. I’ve kept the faith and continued to lose. Normally I’d just give in and think, ahh I’ll start again next month. This time, because I’ve had a group to keep me accountable I’ve kept on tracking and kept on being active even if it’s just 20minutes walking and it makes all the difference. I’m not sure what I’ve lost in total through April but I know it’s generally gone in the right direction! Here’s to more of the same through May!!
