Hmmmmm, not so great last week on some of my goals: 1. Only once last week. 2. Did okay. Ate out for lunch twice during the week, and then lunch and dinner yesterday because we were out of town for the GoRuck. 3. 3168, 3365, 2825, 3604, 3222, 3303, and 4331 4. Yep did that. Not every time, but a couple of times. 5. Rocked…

It's never too late to join. ;)

Sushi is fun, but I don't do it often because it takes so long for a family of 4. I like making onigiri better; they're very fast with a mold. Goals this week: 1. Get back on track with strength training. 2. Try to not eat out too often. 3. Get 3200 calories burned a day (per Fitbit). 4. Walk with my backpack and 5lbs of…

Italian: hugggggggggggggggggggs. Had to go through that last year, hon. You're in my thoughts.

*waves* I'm here, I'm here! But between the last week of school craziness, and internet issues, I'm not posting too much this week. Having a bad week, gained 1.9 pounds so far. Trying to stay on target today. Got myself my first pair of actual hiking boots today. Did a bazillion laps around REI trying to make sure they…

Huggggs, HLaR. Being honest with yourself is hard. Probably the hardest thing about this. Ate about 2000 calories yesterday, burned over 3400, and gained a pound this morning. Argh. Oh well. Still under 270, two steps forward, one step back.

Ooooh, and I'm totally ready to not be wearing Plus sized clothing anymore. I'm in a 20 right now, so it's close enough that I can almost taste it! ;)

*pokes head in cautiously* Ummmmmm, hi? :) I know, I know, it's been a while. But I didn't fall off the wagon, promise! Just got too busy being active to be active here. But it's Memorial Day, so we're having a lazy quiet morning, and I thought I might check in and let you know I'm ok. :) I've been playing with my CI,CO…

Oh, it sounds like you had a lovely day, HLaR!

I found some trails that I wanted to explore last weekend, but my husband wasn't available (some unsavory things also happen in that park, so I don't want to go alone). Maybe this weekend we'll be able to go. And if not, I may tell my kids that for Mother's Day, I want to go on a hike! :)

Did not do the running, but I did do an extra 2000 steps for the day. :)

HLaR, I'm so happy for you! The right mix of meds and diet will make you feel so good! Skittles, you know the routine, small but consistent steps will get you where you need to be, even if you have to stop to rest every once in a while. Italian, I want to carb load ALL THE TIME. My life has become the struggle to become an…

Yesterday, I got in over 16,000 steps. I don't know why, I just wanted to walk and walk and walk. I also did my PT and worked my arms. Meditated before bed, but didn't declutter. I did clear a bunch of things off my to do list which had been nagging at my brain, though. :) Dinner was as planned. :) Hope everyone has a calm…

I signed up yesterday, so I guess I'll be doing some running throughout the day. :)

I did replace my chair yesterday. I also took a second walk around the block with my husband in the evening. :) even though I hit my step around 3 in the afternoon.

*hugggggggggs* Welcome back, Skittles! This week's goals: 1. Eat what I menu planned. 2. 10,000 steps everyday. 3. PT everyday. 4. Strength training everyday (alternating arms and legs). Rest on Sunday. 5. Start carrying my backpack (with a full hydration bladder) while doing my walks, outside or on the treadmill. I want…

Yeah, I'm more of a social drinker, myself. I'll have a beer or two at an event with friends, sometimes I get a 6 pack which lasts a week, that sort of thing. I used to drink more frequently until I started looking at calorie counts. :) These days I have to seriously think about whether I want to drink my calories.…

My husband just got one that can raise and lower. He did mention having issues with being on his feet all day. In the cowboy boots he wears to work. Cuz he's a dork like that. And he forgot to get one of those gel mats that every workplace has in areas where people have to stand for long periods of time. Cuz he's a dork…

This is actually really tough for me. Over the past year, on my journey, I have already changed my lifestyle so much. When I signed up on quitting the sitting, I said my one thing was to park at the back of the parking lot, but I already kind of do that. I just decided I would be more conscientious about it, doing it every…

I took a walk at a local park today, the weather was lovely. I will go do the jumping jacks now. While listening to music. Which will probably lead to me shacking my groove thing if the right song comes on. ;)

Even though I didn't read the challenge until today, I actually did it yesterday! :) I sort of participated in a 1 mile fun run at my kids' school, and ran probably 1/4 of the total mile - a huge accomplishment for me. But the cherry on top was that I had me and my kids walk a mile to the event and back, because it was…

Okay, stressful single mom week is over. Ended the week down .6 of a pound, after lots of gains and losses. Also, ran/walked the 1 mile fun run yesterday. Did it in 16:38. Finished before my daughter and a whole bunch of other people, safely in the 75th percentile, which is a huge WIN for me. And then I drove all over…

You can do it, Italian! We believe in you. ;)

Thursday's are so long at work. Or at least they feel really long, because they start at 10 am, which means I really don't have time to do a lot between getting the kids off to school and getting ready and leaving for work. A little housework, some blogging and email catchup - but I have to watch the time so I don't get…

WHEEEEE!!! Going out for sushi didn't derail me!!! Lost a pound this morning!! Hope everyone's day starts as excitedly as mine!
