    The link above is definitely worth checking out... it talks about food cravings and what our body is really trying to tell us. It's a neat little chart about all sorts of cravings.

    Hope some of you also find it helpful and interesting. :happy:

    Hello all my fellow mini goalers.
    Happy Monday! Hope you all are doing well. I'm super duper sleepy, it was a LOOONNNGGG night with the dogs. :yawn: I was looking at my profile this morning and realized I was 2 pounds away from my next mini goal... 153 lbs, which would officially drop me from the obese category into the overweight. I say was because I gained back 2.5 pounds and am now 4.5 pounds away. I am determined to drop these 4.5 pounds. Time to get movin and groovin!

    Check back in with you all later. Have a great day! LET'S DO THIS!!

    Goal 2: Keep control of my eating habits/ Watch what I eat/ No naughty snacking.
    Goal 3: lose 1kg/ 2lbs.

    Today I ate super duper healthily, no naughty snacks, woo!

    My goals this week:
    Chalean, five times this week: 1.5 (counting abs as half since it's only 10 mins
    3 fruits/veggies: yep, did it!
    Within calories with protein being higher than fat: yep, doing good
    Don't let my family drag down my eating habits: no, but could've been better. I dragged me down. Started not feeling well late afternoon and didn't feel like cooking. Luckily, Japanese tends not to be too unhealthy.

    Hope everyone is doing fantastic on their Monday, saw some already checked in. I'm exhausted, couldn't sleep last night. And now not feeling well. Getting an early bedtime in. Sleep well all!

    Hey guys, sorry I have been MIA for a while.... So last week I did work out a little more but did not do the routines everyday. I am traveling to Chicago tomorrow for work so I know that food is going to be delicious and full of calories! Yum!! I was going to take work out clothes but my schedule is going to be so hectic that I doubt that I will get a chance to. I have decided to give up on the P90X for a while, I am going to try to still do the Kenpo X routine and do some elliptical/weights too but that will be next week.

    My goals for this week:
    1) Do not get plastered.
    2) Eat until I am satisfies, not until I am bursting
    3) Drink 8 cups of water

    Way off on calories today. Came home from work and my niece had made a delicious steak dinner made with butter and cognac!!! Delicious, but a killer on calories. I actually don't even know how to log it, but she worked so hard I couldn't say "no thank you" without feeling badly. Oh well, tomorrow is another day :ohwell:

    Good news is that I'm only over on my sugar by 7 grams :smile:

    Hope everyone had a great Monday :flowerforyou:

    Littlemount – Sorry to hear you had two rough days with goal #1. But now you’ve faced it and it’s time to move forward. You can do it! Great job on the 5K Sunday, that’s awesome! Hopefully the walk to today knocked off some of those calories from McDonalds

    Arwaleenah – Welcome! It’s never too late. It looks like you have picked some great goals to work on this week. Good luck.

    Philosohoe – AWESOME job with the macros!! Love you description of Del Taco. Too funny. Hope you don’t catch the bf’s cold. Fight girl fight it!! Thanks for the encouragement. HUGGS!

    Bhurley1424 – Here’s to a successful mini goal week!! Way to get them all done on Sunday!

    KrisPage – WOO HOO!!! Another shredder. Good luck! I did take measurements before I started 30DS… mostly because I started the day after I ended my round of P90X, so I’m using that as starting point. It does work the core … a lot. I find sometimes I will be doing a move and won’t be working my abs so I am constantly reminding myself work those abs!

    Hearts♥Desire – Very interesting article! Great info, I’ll have to keep that in mind when I’m craving things. I do have one question… why is liver mentioned so often? No thank you very much LOL!!!

    Jennyph2006 – YOU CAN DO IT!! Bury that 30DS! Billy Blanks Tae Bo Amped - Fat Burn XL-erator that sounds super-duper intense. Way to go.

    Pattehcake – Like the pic! Congrats on making your goals today :smile: YAY for no naughty snacks and killer job at the gym!

    Papillon22 – Hope you enjoyed your rest today get ready to go big tomorrow! Nice job with the water and the fruits and veggies!

    Ittee – Great job with your goals today. It’s definitely hard to get into the cooking groove when you are not feeling well, but sounds like you made a great decision. Get some rest my dear feel better!

    La_nanita – Hey you’ll be up in my neck of the woods!!! Have fun in Chi town. It is a great city. Good luck trying to keep up the healthy life style on the road.

    34again - 3 for 3 again WOO HOO!! You pretty focused and motivated yourself :happy:

    Danlyn – You are right, tomorrow is a new day. And sometimes when life gives you a wonderful niece that makes a fabulous dinner you gotta take it. Have a great day tomorrow.
    Monday check in:
    1. 30DS - level 3 – Done 2/6 (Day 27)
    2. Get in 4 non 30DS workouts in - 1/4 took my parents beagle for a walk we both enjoyed it.
    3. Think about the BLT’S I’m eating & log them all (bites, licks, tastes, and sips) – Did much better. I went into the infamous peanut M&M cube and absently minded grabbed some before I even knew what I was doing. I stopped after I had a couple and was like… What am I doing why am I eating these. And guess what I stopped!
    4. Water, water, water - more water less other beverages – Had my coffee with breakfast and that was it! Water the rest of the day.


    Keep up all the great work all the support and all of the encouragement. Together we can do this :happy:

    I AM SO SORE from 1 day of 30 day Shred had no IDEA how out of shape I have gotten, walking and jogging has pulled the weight down but need to start building muscles back up but Jillian kicked myA$$ and I could barely do my walk at lunch and stairs are a horrible torture. 2.5 miles at lunch resting muscles and will give her another try tomorrow night and see how that goes.

    Love to everyone keep up all the hard work.

    Monday night check in:
    1) Monitor macronutrient ratios with goal of Carbs 50%/Protein 25%/Fat 25%: 52.3/27.5/20.1
    2) Sodium under 2000mg: Fail...2462
    3) Culrpit item of the day: Turkey sausage! I've already looked around and the sausage that I have is actually on the low side for sodium in the sausage world (560mg/serving), but I was really hungry tonight, so I had 1 and a HALF sausage links, and the freaking HALF put me over with the little square of cornbread that I had to go with it. Fortunately, I've been drinking a ton of water today while babying my sore throat, so I think I'll be okay if I behave for the rest of the week.
    4) Reach a total calorie deficit of 3500 calories for the week: 476 today

    :drinker: So I have two celebrations today::drinker:
    1) Scale victory--I have officially lost 20lbs! I set my first mini-weight-goal for my second 10lbs by Halloween, and I made it! I was starting to freak out about whether or not I should put any time pressure on myself for that goal, but WHEW, made it. I think due to the time of year and the challenges that the holidays present, I don't think I'm going to set a timeline for my next 10 pounds, but I will continue to aim for my 3500 calorie deficit every week. I also decided that I am okay with not adding back in my "DO NOT WEIGH IN ON ANY DAY OTHER THAN MONDAY" goal for this week because I was mostly concerned with obsessing about hitting this mark. Now that I hit it, I feel like I can relax a little and not be scale obsessed for the week.
    2) NSV--my BRM dropped below 1700 to 1695 (starting BMR was 1785). This is a double edged sword kind of NSV for me. I am excited that my actual weight loss is reflected in the fact that my body doesn't have to work as hard to just exist, but at the same time, I'm a little paranoid that as I get closer to my ultimate goal, I'm going to have to work three times harder and be super careful about calories just to maintain, you know, like all you littler people already have to do.:tongue: It's SCARY! I know that's a ways off, so I'm not REALLY freaking out yet. I'm just holding on to the hope that all my hard work now is building healthier habits into my routine that will just naturally transfer to the lifestyle of the future smaller me.

    Sorry I don't have more feedback for everyone else tonight. I've been staring at the computer literally all day long and am in need of sleep, so I can go back to work tomorrow since my sore throat can't keep me home forever.

    Have a great Tuesday everyone! We've so got this week!
