    @cayenne_007 is your wedding on 3/8?! That's this weekend!! (my dad's b-day too)
    You got your dress and rings ready?? Stay healthy! Can't wait to see your pictures!!

    3/14 - it's going to be super casual and just fun - basically the closest thing to eloping that I can get away with and not make my family too mad! Hahaha! I have a place, preacher, flowers, and a great place to eat reserved.... ring is still being worked on, and there's no telling what I'll wind up wearing but it won't be a white dress. We just want a chance to visit with family and have fun. I kept it to immediate family only - otherwise, I swear it would wind up being 500 people and just to complicated.

    Sounds super nice! I'm all for casual and fun! I'm sure it'll be fabulous- <3

    @jacau, No dates yet. It'll be next year. "After" his daughters hs graduation party. He thinks we're doing it in the backyard after hers... I'm okay with the backyard but timing is still in the works. I don't want it to be back to back. Too much to coordinate... We'll see how it goes! But I know that it will be casual, summer time, outdoor wedding💕💕

    That is exactly the kind of thing my fiancee would think would be a great idea.... 'insert eyeroll'

    Down .4, I'll take it!

    This week, I'm pre planning my calories for each meal snack. I've tried meticulously planning my food, but there's something about that total restriction that is too much for me now (maybe in the future, don't count it out!).

    Something else I'm changing: A treat once a day. I'm pretty much off sugar and junk food, so it will be a slice of Ezkiel (spelling?) bread and a tablespoon of reduced sugar cherry jam.

    My goal is losing something every week, no matter how little!

    August SW 145.8 EW 145.6
    Sept SW 145.6 EW 145.6
    Oct SW 145.6 EW 142.6
    Nov SW 142.6 EW 146.2
    Dec SW 146.2 EW 147.0
    Jan SW 147.0 EW 142.0
    Feb SW 140.5 EW 143.2
    Mar SW 143.2

    I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
    Bust: 38 - Aug (-1")
    Band: 33 - Aug (-1")
    Waist: 28.5 - Aug (-.5")
    Hips 38.5- No change in Aug

    Goal #1: Workout 4 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk
    Goal #2: Be consistent with push up challenge
    Goal #3: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week
    Goal #4: Replace nightly glass of wine with herbal tea 3x a week

    I had the worst flu the end of Jan, so I feel pretty decent about Feb overall. Weighed in this morning at 143.2 so that means I was about to maintain things while out of town on a sale trip - total win for me! Spent 4 days in Scottsdale and didn't lose progress.

    It's going to be a BUSY month, I'm really excited about daylight savings time, my wedding & my birthday!!! If I can get my average weight down to 140 this month, I'll be happy. (I broke my phone Thursday and am betting I lost all my 'happy scale' data). DAMMIT!
    3/5 - 143.0, AVE 143.6 - yesterday was decent on food, finally felt back in my routine. Spent a few hours riding, cleaning stalls & washing one dirty little mutt. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! Come on Spring!
    3/6 - 142.8 AVE 143.4 - I love this time of year, I worked outdoors from 4:30 to dark - no idea of burn, not cardio, just cleaning stalls and riding. Been experimenting with learning to cook some lighter (but quick) dinners - trying to stay away from pastas, breads, etc.
    3/9 - 142.5 AVE 142.5 - The weather was glorious Sat, I spent the entire day riding & working at the barn. Worked 4 horses Sat & 5 on Sun (Sun was cold, but ok). I have no idea what this burns, but I promise training young horses is solid work. Fri night probably way overdid it between dinner out and drinks at concert - but I kept Sat & Sun to one meal days - steak, veggies, and Dos Equis... trying to find balance.
    3/11 - 144.2 AVE 143.2 - Overdid it yesterday, I was running around from 7:00am till 10:00pm...but at least I got to feed & clean stalls last night so there's a bit of exercise. Arby's for lunch, but we split a meal... MIL made amazing enchiladas for dinner...and someone left a bag of mini snickers in the breakroom. ARGH! Not my best day, but today is going far better.

    I am confident I can get through the body weight reps. I dred the rowing, especially 2000m... I can do 1500 NP. last 500m will kill me. And if I have enough fuel to let me run 5K?? Not sure. But WHY the hell not? I had to cancel Spring Break and will be stuck here. I might as well challenge myself, right?! Crazy, maybe. 😁🙄

    4) to be more mindful in my eating and exercise (have been enjoying both much more)
    5) weekly check ins (and here I am)

    I knew I had a good week and couldn't wait to weigh in. It has been a good week.

    Namaste, Kristine

    I ran 7 miles today and I feel great (but a little sleepy now). This is the farthest I've run on my training plan to date but it was actually the easiest long run because I didn't have a million layers on or heavy wind going against me the whole time. I'm not sure if I'll make goal this month, but my trending weight has been shooting down! :smiley:

    Feb GW: maintain between 69 and 70

    Goals:
    1. Walk at least 10k a day
    2. Keep within my daily cals
    3. Push-up challenge - master week 3
    4. Weekly accountability checkin

    The first week of March is already over and done. Here in Belgium, we seem to be in an endless waterfall: the temperatures stay cold and it is raining all the time. Really all - the - time and it's getting to me. Also, the small river at the back of our house is almost overflowing, and we are still facing at least a week of rain. I'm in dire need of a little sunshine!

    As for my goals:
    1. Nope, it didn't work out this week as going out in torrential rains just isn't an option. And one can only do circles around the house a few hundred times :neutral: Also, I still cannot go bike to work, so very little movement.
    2. I did. But then yesterday evening my neighbour - who is a lovely lady - begged us to come and finish the batch of batter she had made for waffles. I was still a little peckish after dinner and I wolfed down 4 freshly baked waffles. No regrets there as I never eat them and they were delish ! :smiley:
    3. I can't seem to master week 3 - but I'll continue to try
    4. Yes, I am doing this right now. My current average weight is 70.0 which is perfect, certainly after having 4 waffles and very little exercise.

    I can hardly believe I wrote the above only one week ago, it seems like a lifetime away. The last few days, my life has been turned upside down by the outbreak as we went in a semi lockdown and I had no fitness or weight goals in mind whatsoever: I hardly walked, I certainly didn't bike to work as our offices are now closed and I did some serious comfort eating. Working from home has always been difficult for me from a food standpoint; now being home 24/7, that will be an enormous challenge. Still: I'm glad I CAN work from home and I still have a job.
    Hubbie and I have agreed to get back as close to a normal routine as possible, so from today on I'll try to stay back on track and we will try to go out for a walk as long as we are still only in a semi lockdown.

    I undid all the progress from February, have barely been logging, have not been checking in. It's a disaster. Working from home for the next 3 weeks because of the virus is going to be terrible. No access to the gym, way too much access to food,... I've been cramming food in my piehole like there's no tomorrow. Barely been doing IF, definitely not longer fasts. Zero impuls control.

    I feel you @l4a_p , but let's think that a few pounds is better than having to go to the ER. This too shall pass and when things get back to normal, we'll kick some *kitten* :wink:
    Meanwhile, try to stick to your normal routine as best as possible.

    Life seems crazy right now, but I LOVE the word husband instead of boyfriend.... We had planned tiny casual wedding from the beginning so we carried on. I'm attempting to get back into my routine this week and start thinking about making healthy decisions and spending as much time outdoors as possible.

    Schools in my state are closed, and restaurants will be for the next two weeks. I'm viewing this like a challenge, to stay on track despite having more going on and more to think/plan (we're vegetarians...so suddenly we have to strategize about where to get tofu!).

    Last week I stayed the same.

    This week, continue to track. Stay within my calorie range. Remember: Family, shelter, warmth, food, books, music...I've got all the essentials.

    Thank you all! I think I'm still on cloud 9. It really couldn't have been any better....don't laugh, it's a $40 dress off Poshmark that I settled on wearing that morning.

    So, we currently have my husband's kids staying with us and one of their cousins.. no school for at least 3 weeks and no athletics. Yesterday he kept them all busy painting fence - at least they're outdoors getting a healthy dose of sunshine. I'm trying to stuff as many fresh veggies as possible down them at dinner. We're in a small town and Wal-Mart is pretty much the only place to buy groceries, it was eerie yesterday. Shelves half empty and things looked like they had been ransacked. I don't see customers and we have a small office staff -there aren't any changes anticipated at my work. We have upped disinfecting the doorknobs and everything else in the office, but otherwise, its' business as usual.

    The facility where my Gram lives is on lockdown - so I can't go visit her for a bit. We're all trying to send lots of pictures to her Skyframe - highly recommend them for elderly relatives. She keeps it on her table and watches it daily.

    I'm taking full advantage of the spring weather and trying to work 2-4 horses in the afternoons, I just have no idea of the calorie burn so I don't log it.

    One thing that this has made me seriously think about is getting proper nutrition so my body is able to fight off bugs. I really hope that by mid-April we will see the economy starting to recover and look back on this as the worst of it.

    Hope all of you guys are finding ways to keep motivated 😘👍🏼

    Hello all,
    I always find it surprising how resilient people are. Here we go, our second week of lockdown and we are getting in some routines already. The main thing I find is how RELAXED I've become !! Both hubbie and I (and some friends and family) agree that it makes a hugh difference, not running everywhere and nowhere. Just staying at home and RELAX ! :smiley: I do miss human contact however.
    But all in all, I've been finding some routine and it certainly helped to get all my daily steps in - the weather is cold but marvellous with a lot of sunshine - and I'm now past the emotional eating, even though it didn't show on the scale this morning.

    1. Yes! I clocked in more than 88K this week
    2. I'm getting back to it, certainly thanks to all the positive posts that I've read about not losing courage and not undoing all the hard work we already did !
    3. I've let that one go. It takes too much mental effort at the moment, I'll recap after the quarantine.
    4. Yes! Thanks to you all, I feel like I'm back on track ! :+1:

    Current average weight is 70.5 - not bad after such an emotional rollercoaster

    MARCH GOALS

    MEASUREMENTS
    ???

    WEIGHT - 7 day averages
    16 March: 69kg

    23 March: 69.5kg

    I've come dangerously close to the number 70 on the scale nearly every day last week. Yesterday was the first day I felt I had a grip again: went for a nice long run (9km), had healthy food with not too much slip ups, went to the shop and didn't come back with a bunch of stuff I shouldn't eat anyway. Hope I can continue this mindset and have better news by the end of the month.
    I did start coughing as of this morning, so hope that isn't the start of something serious. Probably isn't.

    I should start looking for a replacement for my upperbody workout but I have zero equipment so that kinda blows. Also, last week (right before the outbreak) I took a skilesson (first time ever) and injured myself (obviously). My thumb and forearm still haven't regained full mobility and I'm getting a bit worried about it; also brilliant timing because I can't go to the hospital for stuff like this right now. And it also means I can't do pushups or the like.
