To love me no matter where I am at in my journey.

To focus on total health (mind, body, and soul)
Don’t let any one weigh-in dictate what I do.
Choose to do the work.

Don’t give up when you get your first bit of resistance.
Stick to your habits no matter what. Ignore your ego and avoid complacency.
Keep a connection with others who understand what this journey. Isolation is not helpful

Happy Thursday!
As much as I love indoor workouts, I am so excited that the weather is warming up. My husband started getting the pool ready this week and we have plans to make several camping/hiking trips in the near future (we have a place we can take our camper that is secluded...we will be practicing social distancing the whole time). I am so ready to get outside!1 -
Good Thursday morning!!
@AustinRuadahin our gym owner posts our daily workouts the night before.
She let each member take a few items to use during the shutdown. I chose a box 2 dumbbells and a kettlebell. We have a private fb page to post our times and try to encourage each other to keep at it. I love the group workouts and it's challenging for me to do them alone but I'm hanging in there. I slept in till 6:30 today so I'll be working out when I go home for lunch. Have a great day!!
Apologies I think @Katmary71 asked about this. I'm technologically challenged 😆3 -

@TeresaW1020 Thank you! BL is very motivating!
I hope your zoom bible study class goes well. WTG on having a good day!
@Katmary71 That belly dancing is beautiful! I know what you mean about them crying over 5 lbs. I would be ecstatic! Yeah, it's definitely not a healthy way to lose. I love Leslie Sansone's video. Maybe I'll do this one today, thanks for the link! Congrats on going a month without opening the macadamia nuts.
@cbabie Yay for less PB! That's a win.
For yesterday:
Calories: over/under? over
Water: over/under? over
Exercise: no spin bike but I did do TWO Bollywood dance videos! These are the ones I did:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqb6Uu1_N7Y and 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5M6AF_3lcI
Goals or Improvements for tomorrow (today): less stress, ride spin bike, at least 52 oz of water0 -
Today's dancing workouts
https://youtu.be/ly9if9_0PCM
I did the Bollywood one @AustinRuadhain and @trooworld posted, it was a lot of fun! After two hip and shoulder-shaking workouts my core is pretty sore, especially around my back fusions. Oh well, that's what ice is for, right? Definitely belly dancing is the least coordinated I've felt doing a video so far!1 -

Hey all
Feel like I have been MIA. I feel like every three days I fall into a pit emotionally. Then it takes me two days to climb out, then I fall again.
Anyway- I went for a jog today even though my Achilles was sore. It was kind of painful but I did my whole route and added 2.5 minutes. I will stay at this distance for a while. I'm hoping my Achilles will feel ok tomorrow.
Calories- yesterday good, today I ordered take out so I will be over. But I am tracking everything this week so that is a plus from last week.
Tomorrow I have to get to the grocery store so I can make some good meals.3 -
I need to step aside for this month. I will see you all in May. Stay safe and healthy!!1

Thursday weigh in week 1 (02Apr2020)
Previous weight: 180.4
Current weight: 180.7
Hi gang! I'm sorry - I have truly been MIA. Two things, without being too dramatic. 1- we have a place at the coast and we're still going when we can but it has some difficulties in the stigma of traveling there. We do all respectful distancing things, including respectfully getting our resources in our primary city, no stops, just get there and hunker down there instead of here for a bit. Still - there are associated stressors and distractions - talk about first world problems. Like - wah, call a wambulance - right?
2- work got weird with my boss. We've had our struggles for the last year and a half but it got really weird and the last several days have been not good - and culminated in a very animated meeting at the end of today for more than an hour. I'm processing the whole thing but the pit of my gut is not happy. Feeling very stressed out and distracted. Oh. And a pandemic ongoing. Oy.
Working my head around all this and seeking inner perspective and a way to slow down - process - make my way to not feeling that everything is out of control. Hoping the weekend helps - food planning and food prepping. Some housecleaning and, dare I say, decuttering. =>
Weight wise, food wise - water, sleep, habits.....all 95% intact and I am not unhappy with the weigh in. I'm happy for keeping my food life and exercise life intact and am not going to over-sensationalize the number. I'm going to focus on the mental blips at hand that are causing my inner turmoil and trust the food and exercise process I have in place.
More from the Laddominium over the weekend. => Be well, friends.5 -
@mrmcgrath camping sounds heavenly right now! I usually go with my brother and his family a few times a year.
@gundew59 What a cool gym owner you have, both with posting workouts and lending equipment. My gym's streaming workout classes but that's about it, definitely no personal touches. Glad you're able to work out at home. Mexican spaghetti sounds pretty awesome!
@trooworld I did Leslie Sansone's 5K today and it was pretty easy, I think I posted the 3 mile one, that one's a lot better. If you have bands I found a 3 mile I'm doing tomorrow with resistance bands. She uses 1-3lb weights in the first 3 mile one that I think I posted, I use 2lb and 5lb weights for it and it's a great workout, if the one tomorrow is a bust I'll stick with the 3 miles with weights.
@gwamajtw91 Every little bit in the right direction counts!
@its_cleo Glad you were able to get outside for a bit. Tomorrow's grocery shopping day for me too, can't wait to have the kitchen restocked with fresh food after two weeks. You'll have to post what you make!
@raleighgirl09 Good to see you! I'm sorry to hear about work, I hope things turn out for the best. Sounds like you're doing good maintaining good habits despite all the chaos.0 -
Thursday check-in
Calories- under
Exercise- walking/dance (not as much as usual, legs are really worn out from taking too many steps the last few days), YouTube videos, yoga.
Water- over
Habits
Cardio 30 minutes- done
Weights 3xs upper/lower- 2/3, 2/3
Plank challenge/abs and yoga/foam rolling- done
Decluttering- did two drawers
Recipe- finished the chipotle chicken "tostadas", I stirred in refried beans and made it into a soup since there was a lot of liquid left from the Instant Pot. Harvested a bunch of herbs and made herbal olive oil for my potatoes after finding out I didn't have the right vinegar for vinegar rosemary. Not really a recipe!
20,000 steps- done. I got 30,000 the last few days and my legs were toast today so I've spent the second half of the day resting. Even when I sit I rock which uses my calves so I have my feet up on the coffee table and have read or been online, I'm pretty restless but my body needs a break.
Tomorrow's finally grocery shopping. I'm a little worried about getting what I need and my list is huge after not going for two weeks. I tried to place an order for delivery but they were out of half the things I need, at least if I go in person there's a chance of getting some of the stuff either there or at a second store. I was going to wait until Monday but discovered the meal I was going to have for lunch the next few days was freezer-burned so the other frozen meals probably are too. Hate food waste!0 -

@Katmary71 Wasn't that a lot of fun? I'm doing a Leslie today, I think. I don't have any bands, unless they are in the black hole (my spare room lol). Good luck at the grocery store!
@its_cleo Sorry about the pit...I hope getting some good food brightens you up.
@jugar LOL!
