Hi all. I was over on calories today, by about 350 above my goal. I walked the dog for 30 min today is all. Today was my treat meal and sort of rest day. I had a grilled chicken sandwich, a half order of small fries, a bit of an Italian beef sandwich, a small cannoli and a few other sweet bites, but nothing crazy. I went…

Today I took the doggie for a walk, played doubles tennis for 2 hours and watched tennis all day long. I eat well and cooked all of my own food. Grilled marinated chicken, brown rice, beets, broccoli, peanut butter, low carb bread and tortilla, protein shake and some walnuts. I like to eat a little of everything so I…

Kathy, it's a tennis Saturday so don't worry about it. U still got yourself to the fitness center. That's more than half of the battle. Bam

Hi everyone. It was so muggy outside this morning but somehow I put that aside and jogged 5.18 mi without stopping then when I got home I took my dog for a walk, and vacuumed the whole house. I took a trip to Costco and snacked. After I calculated the snacks I wish I was more picky. That's why my food diary looks crazy for…

Thanks Sheri for the awesome recap and positive words

Checking in too. I did NOT want to work out today. I tried to tell myself I need a break but I went anyway. I did 30 min hard elliptical and 10 min on stair machine. This morning I walked my dog 1.75mi. I gave into pizza, but it was Papa Murphy's thin crust garlic chicken and only had 1.5pcs. So not bad and I got it out of…

Thanks for everyone sharing their struggles and also posting articles. I find that having food prepared really helps, to include chicken or some other protein. Is a pain, but it's something to turn to when super hungry or take with when in a hurry. I'm constantly cutting fruit and veggies and sautéing chicken or turkey and…

Good article. How much exercise it takes to burn off food. http://www.lifehack.org/347871/infographic-that-shows-how-much-exercise-you-need-burn-off-these-food

Good evening! I did okay eating and wish it was better. I ate when I wasn't exactly hungry and started picking at things before my evening workout. Temptation is getting to me. I did manage to not buy a slice of pizza that was freshly made at AJ's this afternoon. Walked by it twice. Tonight I was outdoors playing tennis…

Checking in. Walked dog, yes I logged my 90 of yard work and went to the gym for some 45min strength training of fairly heavy weight tonight. Ate very healthy and was below my calorie threshold. It's a battle everyday to make the right choices. D4, W8

Hi. I jogged 5.05 miles this morning in 51:15min. It was very warm at 5:30am, then took the dog for a walk. I still feel the morning with a slight headache tonight. I ate egg whites, fruit, veggies, pumpkin protein shake, chicken, Greek yogurt and complex carbs (oat bran) throughout the day. Had just a few M&M's too and…

Leaner protein, chicken, or even ground chicken and turkey. Very versatile. Tacos, meat balls, spaghetti sauce, wraps. To change up the boring taste, use marinades or dry spices such as Grill Mates. Ole xtreme wellness tortillas are super low in carbs, healthy and low in calories, like 50 found at Walmart or frys. Watch…
