@theslightedgeforever - so, on this tanning thing.... how did you get tested? How did you know to get tested? does my primary dr even care? I've thought of getting tested. I'm doing good ladies! I'm here doing pretty good. Ever since I joined you...and someone said...are you eating your veggies?!?!? and What worked for…

@theslightedgeforever I just bought a hat. We have sunscreen, I should use it .... in South Dakota I didn’t feel we needed to. Here, I should since it’s much more sunny daily . You make a valid point.

Currently here is my water schedule I make sure I have a complete bottle of water finished by 7am (end of my workout) Another by 11 am Another by 1pm Another by the end of work 4:30pm And one before 7pm I’m guessing my bottle is 24oz

Thanks ladies. Its 3pm and I'm already on my 4th bottle of water... Likely I can get in 2 more of these before 10pm. There's some sun shining on the deck, may try to get a tan soon. @TeresaW1020 = Great job on the fast! Woot wooT. what an accomplishment.

Update: Ended March at 107.8 Ended April at 105.0 & had 2 April weeks at 104 Ended May at 101.0 So successfully down 4# in May. What changed is, I started actually tracking every bite in May. I decided I would track and try to hit my protein goals. And, once I started to do that, it all fell into place. I'm doing mainly…

I’m feeling good and in the zone I guess. I didn’t think my weight would be down but tried the scale anyway. Wouldn't ya know, it matched last weigh in and was down another .2. I stepped on and off about 7 times. Once it read 102.8 but, I figured that was a Fluke. So, officially....April 30th = 104.8. And May 18= 103.4…

@its_cleo that’s my house too, I don’t have flour or sugar in it. Tbh, don’t miss it. Condos huh, what state do you live in? @trooworld water Intake is a golden key. I always have noticed when I force myself to do an extra 1 or 2 bottles, my weight and hunger-cravings diminishes. And when I skip or am low, cravings are…

I just downloaded the book : Made to a crave Love it!!!!

@theslightedgeforever - you made a good point. I’m really feeling in the zone. It’s amazing. One change is I’m drinking more water. More water, less desires for food. Also, mindset seems dialed in. So nice to be in this headspace right now. I’m feeling like I’ll see amazing things of I step in the scale. So I’m staying off…

I’ve been weighing maybe 3/wk. it was a negative thing but, I’ve recently decided that it’s not. It’s a tool. Instead of focusing on lowering the number, I’m focusing more on, how can I keep my current number. I used to really rush to get a low Weight and then I would celebrate the next day, which puts it in a bad cycle.…

@trooworld I like the fridge inspo! @its_cleo glad I made you smile. My night time snacking is a bad habit. That’s my focus today. Maybe I just need to focus on positivity. How often do y’all weight yourself?

@TeresaW1020 i only have tried the sample barre workout. It didn’t do anything for me. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. For me it seemed to be death by reps. I’m more of a lift heavy s$+# 10 times and be done gal. Your new bar looked awesome!

I just feel so Bad that I've not read your posts. I am thankful for the group though, please know that! Work is not busy right now so I’m hoping on to post. I think I had a good weekend, stayed on track and got in a ton of walking. Started a new workout routine (from beach body-the work) . Day 2 today was all chest and…

Update: ended April at 105.0 Started April at 107.8 So successfully down 2.8# I did maintain the 103.8 for 2 weeks before derailing. So here goes May!!!! Maybe I can end down another #!

@RetiredAndLovingIt take the only out of that sentance! Talk positive phrases to yourself! (We all do this negative thing). Our words become our actions. “I did the Treadmill!” That is an accomplishment, praise yourself for that. @theslightedgeforever my legs were on fire bc of my periformis muscle. Tons of stretching and…

Hi all. Sorry I haven’t posted for several days. I’ve sorta followed my eating plan but, Easter candy has been my challenge. I know I’ve been over on calories. my “give in” muscle is pretty strong around chocolate. My Win: I didn’t binge on food! Just had more nibbles than I shoulda. Me analyzing What happened: I had done…

I’m doing good gals! The weekend has been smooth sailing! Partially bc my tummy has an ache .... sorta gas bubble like, not sure what didn’t agree with it but, it’s made me not want much to eat. Weighed in Sat. Down a little more. Let’s see....I was 107.8; successfully down to 103.4. Pretty much in my goal weight right…

Im making the intention here, I will limit my joy food fri-Sunday. Watch my portions and be mindful so that I eat more greens and fruit and minimal - if any- processed treats. The goal is a good Monday/Tuesday weigh in. Gas here is 1.29 wow. @theslightedgeforever My workouts are intense- I guess. They sound intense but, if…

@TeresaW1020 : love the idea of 1/2 candy bar and 1/2 apple. I found that for me that replacing the snack with the apple satisfied my sweet tooth so that I didn’t want sugar all night. And when I had a candy the next day, that made me crave sweets all fricken day. So, I went back to the Apple. Worked out to P90x Shpulders…

The past 2 days have been good. I weighed in yesterday down a pound, so tracking and just making sure I’m eating when I’m hungry and stopping when I’m no longer hungry (and tracking) is working. I did have some joy foods yesterday, I suppose as a celebration, because Lord knows it wasn’t out of hunger! I didn’t over feed…

Good day today, the meal plan is very mentally freeing for me today. I don’t have to think about any meal or what we will eat. @joannadavison : thanks for the encouragement. Hubby and I have 3 walk breaks scheduled every day. That helps a lot. I love Les Mills . They have a few free ones on YouTube. @theslightedgeforever :…

Yes, I should be wearing a mouth gaurd. I’ve been trying the past few nights as I got some from amazon. I used to have one from the dentist but, lost it. Interesting that several of you have the same issue . I got my meals listed in MFP, for breakfast for the week. Forgot to add the rest. Dang! But I tracked today and was…

So far behind on reading again. So no shout outs. I’m doing good. We walk a lot now, today over 2 hours worth. And, I think my food is on track. I had a tooth extracted Thursday because....it was cracked in 3 Pc from me grinding my teeth at night. I guess. Maybe it’s like snoring, you deny the issue? So I didn’t track my…

Jugar, I’m opting out of April at this time. Thanks for mentioning me. Maybe May

Today went okay. I substituted afternoon snack for a cookie and while that was okay, it wasn’t an apple. An apple worked better. The White House update was depressing. Not sure we can all Handle the death toll that’s about to come. Workout was legs and back and some walking. I should maybe do something more while watching…

If I missed someone, I’m sorry and hello 👋 I hope this finds you happy and blessed with good health today. @TeresaW1020 : My heart dropped also. Doubtful I’ll get to see my family. It’s been 6 months. Our pastor is doing good too with online sermons. @trooworld : today I’m back to high nutrient dense foods. Do you do any…

@its_cleo : great job with the steps! Good luck on the nutrition. CoronaV-a Quarantine (CV19Q) Week 3 Day 1 starts for me tomorrow also. Yeah, the hardest part (like any other thing) has been sticking to the nutrition lol

Here is my crafty lil planner for the week. It’s a 13” picture frame, behind it on paper is the week days etc. I wrote in dry erase marker on the glass and that wipes off with tissue. 😉❤️Tuesday will be “Nacho Normal Tuesday” and be Mexican dishes.

@trooworld pizza yummmmm!!!! my hubby and I have Pizza Sunday every week. We’ve made it our Sunday night thing, which makes it SO much easier for me to just have 2 slices and be done. Also, I know how much calories to allow for the other meals.

On the GS cookie 🍪 convo: @theslightedgeforever - I ask the scout what her favorite one is and then, I buy that one, pay for it and tell her it’s my gift to her & it’s hers. They always love that!
