Good Morning, I hope everyone has an amazing upcoming week.
I personally wish the weather where I am would warm up, but we are expected to get snow most of the week. I am so over winter. I would really love to be able to get outside a little more and the bad weather adds stress and time to my commute, which is already an hour and a half on a good day. However, I will still make exercise a priority, and focus on being under calories thus week.
I feel the same about winter. Where do you love @panda4153? That is quite the commute.
I live in Colorado Springs, CO but I work in Golden, CO which a town West I’d Denver. I love my work which is why I’m willing to make the commute but we’ve had a rough winter and it makes it more challenging for sure1 -
Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a great week. I am currently driving to Pheonix and am looking forward to being warm!
It's been a crazy week. Sorry this is late.

This week I have felt like an alcoholic who has fallen off the wagon, but only with food. I almost didn't come here this morning, but I'm glad I did. Just checking in here with you folks is encouraging and helps me get back up and brush myself off. Sorry I've been MIA. I need to be present here, even if I'm struggling. Just seeing @mari_moulin 's icon about "Keep Showing Up" makes me feel better. Here's to a better day--one day at a time!
I am flying to Florida tonight for just the weekend, but it's not going to be very warm until Sunday. I usually am able to get in lots of exercise while I'm down there, so hopefully it won't be TOO cold. I will need to be careful about my food choices, but other than the grouper nuggets I'm sure we will have, I can do baked or broiled seafood. I think I need this break though, even if the dieting thing doesn't play out perfectly.
Have a great day, everyone! Thanks for being here.2 -

4 weeks ago I created my own workout program at the gym. I do 30 mins of cardio and over an hour of strength. I have 4 different sessions each focusing on different muscles and alternating upper and lower body. I haven’t seen much change in weight at all since I started but I’ve seen a difference in measurements and in muscle gain. I did a before after comparison today and I have to say I’m super proud of my gainz!!

@utmom81 - I felt the same way as you this week. I’ve completely lost track of myself and the things that make me feel in control of myself and this journey. This is the least consistent I have been since before Christmas. And it shows in my weight:
Weigh in week: 3
Weigh in day: Friday
Previous weight: 213.4
Current weight: 216.4
My goals for today:
1. Bring my lunch to work
2. Drink at least 60pz of water at work alone
3. Make an exercise plan for next week - I need to be moving more. Enough sleeping in and working through my lunch!2 -

This is the worst week I ever had since I started last February. I had a bad binge Saturday night and it snowballed. All week I have been getting up and eating after I settle for the night. I need to sit down and think about everything that made me successful so far. I need to put all those tools back in action.

Calories: just barely under
Exercise: 70 minute walk

Hugs to you. The most important thing I can think to say to you is no matter what......always be kind to yourself. So you had a bad week....it’s ok. We all have them. Some of us have bad months, some bad years. Some regain it ALL back and have to start over. It’s ok. As long as you are always starting again. You have to just keep showing up.
Last week is now in the past. Learn what you can from it and then leave it there. Start with small changes. Do what you know will be easiest for you to start off with like drinking all your water or walking a number of steps. Make one small change each day until you are back where you want to be. We all believe in you.....now believe in yourself. Be kind to yourself. Tell yourself what you would tell anyone else here with similar problems.2 -

Had a much better day today. Even though I’m on a quick vacation, I have made good choices with food intake. I’m definitely feeling more in control today, so that’s a step in the right direction! Got in all of my water today, too!

Happy Saturday!
Not many steps yesterday. I did the stair master at the gym for 30 mins plus my lower body glutes workout which includes lots of squats, lunges, and jump squats.....my knee was not good the rest of the day. I decided to rest it and just get back to it today which I just did by running 5k for my Saturday workout. Knee is better now. Weight is still coming down at a snails pace but it’s coming down. I would have done better had I not spent the entire week trying to repair last weekends damage. This weekend I will try my beat to maintain today’s weight. Wish me luck.

What is your calorie deficit right now? If 1200 calories is not going to theoretically give you more than 2 pounds a week loss, I would say try it. You can always increase your calories, if you find this too low.

Hi everyone! Sorry late night and big weekend of celebrating!!
I am over a bit.l but that’s ok... it’s to be expected!
Just another part of the journey...💕😊💕
The most important thing is I feel good despite the number. I know my choices are good overall and I am nurturing my body. My exercising has been consistent and I feel strong. The biggest struggle is to look in the mirror and see a different girl than the one in my mind... I often like the girl in my mind better, it is how my body feels. I will leave allof you with this. My mind and body feel strong. I see the strength in my workouts and in my dedication. That is why today is another day in life and sticking to my goals!

Hahaahaga it had to be 142!!! My arch nemesis!
Here is the thing though, I broke through to the other side before! ‘‘Tis we meet again!! 🌸💕🌸💕🌸3 -

Happy Sunday everyone! I don’t know what was going on with me yesterday but I spent my whole day looking for something to eat. Did way too much mindless snacking. Too many treats were had! Every time I’m like this I have a look at what’s going on in my life at that moment because I want to identify the triggers that cause me to do this. I was looking at my monthly cycle (on Fitbit) and it turns out that I’m ovulating. This always happens the first 2 days of ovulation and a day before my period starts so I think that this time around it’s all hormonal. I’m hoping to have a better day today. I plan on doing my Sunday funday walk this afternoon and try my best to keep my snacking under control.
