@AmbersWay Thank you! Haha guess there are just some days that are popcorn for dinner days, right? It used to be my favorite snack when I was depressed or sad and not the air popped stuff but with butter and cheese which is awful!

@DrewsAnna Leslie Sansone is always fun especially the ones with resistance bands or weights, way to go!

@Cornanda Oh no, you'll get there! I'm still having some trouble getting back on track after Christmas and I get thrown off when Bill visits. I'm glad you got the chance to read all the posts!

@Ftofit I hope you feel better when you read this! It's hard to find the right balance of everything, I hope you're getting closer and everythig falls in place for you this year.

@trooworld Haha that's great you can stay in your pjs while you learn! Great job getting the workout in! I like your calling your workout a recovery workout, I've been doing lighter strength training with the rain so I'm not increasing my pain and like the idea of it being a recovery workout. Hope your afternoon off was fun!

@vegan4lyfe2012 It's definitely a tough time of year to get motivated and you already were at PT so it's hard to do more after that. It's so much easier when it's Daylight Savings and warm outside to exercise and eat salads! Oh I like your tea in oatmeal idea!

@megnolia82 I feel weird being happy for you for being sick but I'm glad it will be better for you soon! Hope it kicks in fast.

@Becoming_A_Butterfly I like your plan for a better week! Even if the scale is up you'll be prepared to be amazing this week having the store behind you.

@19shmoo69 Hi Darren! Sounds like you need more coffee! I'm just teasing, there's mixed opinions on if that helps hydrate or is dehydrating and I've never looked into it much to figure out if the new opinion it's hydrating is true. Have you had a physical lately? Maybe you're low in vitamins or minerals? How do you sleep (you know what I mean, don't say in a bed!)?

Hi Slimpossibles! I had a tough night, we're going through a week of storms and my body was screaming last night despite using my micro current and taking an extra pain pill and sleeping pill. I got up and did my workout (cut cardio short or did recovery cardio) and weights and stretching then headed to my hair appointment. I took a bunch of seed catalogs and by the time I left it was pouring (about 15 miles away) so dreaming of my future garden was a nice mental escape while getting my hair colored. I texted with the new farm manager and another volunteer asking if they wanted me to look for any seeds and we had fun thinking of new things for the farm. I really like the new manager, the old one is a sweetheart but his heart wasn't in it and the new one is excited and loving it which is awesome. Came home and worked and made dinner and now I'm going to climb into bed early and read, have a great night and wonderful weekend!

No Zero Days
- did leg cardio
- did leg strength training
- stretching
- ate under calories and healthy choices.

I'm also copying Chris and choosing my 2023 word of the year to be BALANCE because it's something I really need to learn!

So I got back on the sugar bandwagon over Christmas and new year and have only just started logging food again. I will see what thr Monday weigh in brings. Can't believe my efforts in Dec made the leaderboard!! I have been aiming for 10000 steps a day for the last couple of weeks which has been good. No zero days at least!

Hello all,

13 reps yesterday. Went well although I dropped to my knees for the push-ups again. I figure if i can keep it up through feeling like absolute death, I’ll be ready to completely rock it when I’m feeling good.

I’ll tell you, a week of no fruit or veggies has been awful. And the Gatorade. Yuck. I’m sure I’ve had a gain from all the meds and lack of actual healthy foods and drinking those calories. I’ll look forward to a woosh in the near future though.

Laying low again today. Hoping for improvement tomorrow. I’ll be fitting in my 14 reps at some point.

Another super busy day for me. After my church board meeting, my DIL's sister and I planned the baby shower. Then I helped daughter #2 move things from their old apartment to the new one. Definitely got my minimum 30 minutes activity in today
I was pretty hungry between trips, so I did get Taco Bell, which ends my week with 3 restaurant trips instead of 2. But I kept it minimal with 3 crunchy tacos with only black beans and lettuce. I love those! I am actually really looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow, which is not typical. The only thing that may let me down would be the fact that TOM is visiting me right now. Have an awesome night everyone!

No Zero Days logging today:
1. Cook bean/grain:
2. Weigh all food:
3. Log all food:
4. 30 minutes activity:
5. Restaurants 2x:
6. Stop eating when pleasantly full:

@hlnnan Oh no, that sugar bandwagon was picking up many of us in December! I'm glad you're back to logging hitting your steps, you got this!

@tammymccrady6278 So glad you had a great week! It's frustrating especially around those who don't struggle to stay healthy at all but it also feels good to be taking charge of your health which you're doing. We definitely don't want to lose you young!

@trooworld Your ring sounds gorgeous, good score! Those are challenging exercises but definitely good ones, have a great one!

@Becoming_A_Butterfly Don't be embarrassed, you got this! Chances are that's not all fat and more like sodium/extra food/water and you'll get it back down fast.

@19shmoo69 I can understand not trusting doctors, do what's best for you my friend.

@megnolia82 I agree with you, doing all these reps while not feeling well will be a lot easier once you're better! I hope you're feeling better as fast as possible!

@vegan4lyfe2012 What an exciting time in youru family! Moving is definitely a workout!

Hi team! Another rainy day, another section of my fence is falling apart that I'm trying to ignore since I can't get there and the company that worked on it last year hasn't called back. I had a good workout this morning then cleaned, organized my seeds, read, then made a Mediterranean chicken and chickpea stew that came out really good. Have a great Sunday everyone!

No Zeros
Did full cardio, strength training (went up on weights), and stretching
Ate under calories and healthy food

Happy Sunday! I am struggling to get my act together. I've put some things in place, but not enough.

Exercise- going well
Food- better, but needs improvement- weekend eating stretches out too long
Did little tracking and that was a wake up call- need to make tracking a habit
Haven't reflected yet

Was really hoping for a holiday "down woosh"-which hasn't happened. However, after typing this, I can see how little I've done so far.

I'm much better at not beating myself up. I know I can do this and I will keep trying until I get fully reset.

Wishing you all a great week!

Lisa
