I add a hard boiled egg to bagged salads for lunch. I'm not usually one for pre-packages convenience foods, but those are so darn handy. Fruit and veggie smoothies for breakfast. These two help me get a huge head start on my produce for the day.

I'm experiencing a weird paradox. I like to look back and see when the last time was that I weighed the weight I am now (a year ago) and my goal weight (2015). I feel good about my weight now since I'm on the way down, but didn't feel good about it a year ago, or in 2015 when I was at my goal weight, since I was on the way…

I was not prepared for how defensive of my new habits I would become/need to be and how judgemental of others' unhealthy habits I have become. I'm sure part of this is just being so aware since I'm logging everything I eat. But it makes me grumpy when people bring a huge box of baked sweets and cakes into my house for a…

@1fit_mamma and @Jackie0Marie Thank you! Getting healthy has felt like the only thing I can control these days, and a way to try and trust my body again to do what it's supposed to. I will take all the positive vibes/warm thoughts/prayers on offer! Fingers crossed for successful and quick TTC time!

I didn't anticipate how differently I would want to celebrate special occasions compared to how I used to, and compared to my family and friends. Now when I go to a birthday party I load up on veggies and have a tiny piece of cake. Same for weddings. And I have no desire to have many adult beverages--empty calories that…

Well, no surprise from that minuscule chance in April. Instead, my cycle was 3 days late, causing much anxiety! Starting to track BBT tomorrow morning for the first time ever. Any veterans with tips?
-
@1fit_mamma We would manage the surprise! We wanted to avoid a December birth, but sparing us the trying and waiting, trying and waiting, trying and waiting....might be worth it. So I'll be happy either way, I think. I just hope the late cycle doesn't mean I've stopped ovulating. I had that problem once before due to stress
-
@kirstie155 Thank you so much! It is the hardest thing we have ever faced. We are trying again! We're nervous and if/when it happens it will be the most terrifying 9 months. I've been working hard to try to get has healthy as possible before starting again. I gained 40lbs through the last pregnancy and as of today I'm only…

We are planning to start trying in May. There's a minuscule chance we could have gotten pregnant in April and my period should have started today but it hasn't. Negative HPT yesterday. I'm going to try to wait to test again until the cheap test strips arrive in the mail from Amazon.

1. At Pilates class on Wednesday I had an instructor that I hadn't seen in 3 weeks, and she commented that she was impressed with my increased ab strength! Another instructor said in passing that I'm looking good! 2. Completed a spinning class this morning! Haven't done that in probably a decade. 3. Noticed new little…

@verykatie I just joined this group and started reading threads. It's very kind of you to want to be sensitive to your friend's grief from her miscarriage! I was pregnant at the exact same time as my sister who lives in the same neighborhood. Our due dates were 9 days apart. She delivered a healthy baby boy, and my son was…

1. I was able to keep up with this guy at the park! 2. I fit down all the slides he asked me to go down. I want to get fit to be a better, more involved mom, so this is kinda a big deal
-
Fit into another old pair of jeans! Good thing, cause these are my painting jeans and I needed them this week.

My husband is over 300lbs, and nothing I have ever done or said has motivated him to work on his health. It's frustrating, because I want him to stick around for a long time! But I can remember my parents trying to "coach" me into losing weight with similar good intentions when I was younger. And I hated it.

1. I now feel sick after eating a whole brownie or really big cookie. Which makes me not that excited about them anymore. 2. Today I did a Pilates class, about 50 minutes of light cardio at the gym, and then mowed the lawn for 90 minutes. And I'm not completely exhausted! 3. At Easter dinner, I was most excited about the…

I went to my nephews' birthday party yesterday and didn't have any brownies or cupcakes! I had about a dozen jelly beans as my sweet treat and was satisfied with that.
-
Down a size in jeans! I have retired the jeans I bought after having my son in 2014. That feels good!

Day 7 ✅ My back and joints aren't liking the burpees...so I'm taking those easy.
-
Day 5 done! I liked yesterday better
-
Did day 3 of the full body. Still despise burpees.
-
Day 2 done. My burpees are ugly, but they are getting done!
-
If that was so easy, 99% of us wouldn't be here because we could juggle all the crap life throws as us, and workout and fix healthy meals! You are doing great! I fight depression, too. It isn't easy, and I can't do it alone. Celebrate your successes wherever they are! The rest are just your future successes.
-
Did day 1! Got up early and got em done before the husband and kid get up. Someone did feel compelled to join and provide such great inspiration
-
Major props. Not sure I could have done that!
-
My diary is open to friends, and I log every day. Add me if you like!

May 2017 - SIL's wedding: most of my husband's extended family won't have seen me in over 6 months, so it will be nice to look better than I have in a long time! June 2017 - Family vacation to Europe! I want to be able to keep up with my toddler who will no doubt keep us on our toes! And look good in photos. I want to make…

Count me in!

1. I've been having bad dreams lately, related to a tragedy our family suffered a few months ago. My NSV is that in my bad dream last night, when something else bad happened, I went to the gym to help me cope and ate salads! My habits have even changed in my nightmares! 2. After 80 days of logging and gradually moving…

I had surgery in December, and was cleared for exercise in January. I reset my Fitbit step goal to be more realistic for me, starting back at 3500. As soon as I hit that 10 times, I increased my goal by 500. As I kept hitting goals, I kept increasing by 500 for awhile, and then 1000. Today, I realized I have finally…
