@mrmcgrath - What a great day! 🥗 🥤 So smart to get in a workout midday! 🏃♀️ Have fun doing upper body strength today! 💪🏽💪🏽
@Katmary71 - Congratulations on getting so close to your pre-vacation weight so quickly!
@nlalamin04 - What a great day! And I love your HiiT workout ⏲️ and new recipe 🍲 goals for today! Have fun!
@raleighgirl09 - What a great day! 👍🏽 Yes, for me too, walks sometimes look like a chore until I go do them. 🚶🏽 And reading this 💡, I am going to hop out the door and at least get in a walk around the block before the day gets too busy.
@ka97 - Haven't gotten back into the swing of logging food yet, but at least eating has been on point. That's not just an "at least," that's huge really. Logging -- keep at it, and you'll get back to having it be a habit again.
Hurray for doing your abbreviated gym workout -- enough to have fun but abbreviated to take care of that injury!

Discussion Idea: Rewards
What are you finding rewarding about doing this work on health, fitness and weight loss? What are the little happy moments that make this work for you day to day? Or do you stay more focused on long-term rewards?
I thought about this topic because I saw a discussion where someone was talking about having food as their reward. For myself (I know mileage on this varies!), it seems to work better for me to have other things be rewards. So, for example, sometimes I'll go tell my very generous husband that I met my food and exercise goals for a day and get a hurray from him.
How about you? What works for you?2 -

I focus on long term rewards. What makes me feel good day to day is being able to say I did what I set out to do. But long term I want to feel good in my clothes and right now I don’t.3 -

Week: Week 2
Weigh in Day: Thursday
Previous Weight: 151
Current Weight: 151 (I hope). Still vacationing without access to a scale.
Wonderful things I’ve learned while on vacation:
1. I didn’t need my trusty scale and daily weigh ins to stay on the straight and narrow. I just needed ME. Who knew??!!
2. Those vacation food and drink temptations that I was so afraid to face aren’t tempting AT ALL!! In fact, my new way of eating is already a part of me. I cherish myself MORE than I care for all that food.
3. Seeing friends and family 30 pounds lighter (and brighter!) than when I saw them last was a delightful confidence-booster!
4. Instead of a sedentary, indulgent version of a vacation, I’m actually longing for and indulging in long, beautiful walks and finding excuses to do that at every opportunity. I think I’ve gotten healthier.
Cheers, all! See you next week!5 -

2. Stick to the meal plan.❌
3. If I am feeling snacky after supper have a cup of tea✅. Thebtea really helped!
4. Drink 100oz plus of water✅
5. Check in tonight❌
Thursday Check in:
I did not workout today. My son had a sleepover with a bunch of his friends. They were up until 4:30am so needless to say I didn’t get a good sleep but that’s okay. It’s summer and want him to have fun.
My husband and I bought a used Livestrong Elliptical machine so we could work out together in the mornings. I’m pretty excited about having another option for workouts. @Katmary71 - do you have programs you follow or just the ones pre-programmed in the machine?1 -

@Kres567 - What a great mom you are! And I hope you catch up on sleep soon!
@digger61 - Great work! Your discipline is so impressive! I hope the scale cooperates!
@nlalamin04 - Your new soup looks great and healthy! Did you like it?
@nlalamin04 and @Katmary71 - This conversation inspired me to try a new recipe today -- Red Lentil Soup with North African Spices. I tweaked the recipe some (no oil, water instead of broth, doubled the spices, skipped the spiced butter thing at the end) and forgot to add cilantro and lemon when serving (I'll try that tomorrow). It's delicious!0 -

Friday Check In
Week 2
Previous: 156
Current: 156.6
Lots of emotional eating this week. I actually gained a bunch over the weekend last weekend and lost most of it back, so this isn't as bad as it looks or as it could have been. Hoping things improve from here.

@AustinRuadhain, I also love getting a hurray from my husband.
He is my biggest fan! I think the biggest thing that I find most rewarding is how good I feel. Losing 60 lbs has given me so much more energy. I can’t wait to see what losing another 40 lbs will do for me. I also have a shopping trip planned for November and my goal is to be well into Onderland when that day arrives.
@KMD1214, Wow, you have learned so much about yourself on your vacation!
How wonderful that you see how cherishing yourself doesn’t mean stuffing yourself with foods that will only lead to guilt and weight gain.
@nlalamin04, yummy looking soup!! I’m looking forward to cooler weather so I can make soups, chilis, and stews!
@digger61, as you preplan and stick to your plan and do your exercises you will see results! You might not see it show up as much on the scale as you want but you will get there for sure if you keep at it.
@UTMom81, you just be good to yourself and the weight will come back off.
@mrmcgrath, great loss!!

Oh crap I forgot it was weigh in day! I’ll do it tomorrow morning.
Went to the ropes course and then workout group yesterday - killer workout day. Today was a planned rest day. I worked in the classroom, and spent a couple of hours covering up half a wall with colored duck tape . (Making a “bullitan board” on the wall above the counter). So much for rest. 😩 I’m exhausted!
