Hiii all! Wanted to check in. Sounds like some of you have had some miserable weather! It was warm and then a bit cooler here the past few days - but cooler has meant 60 degrees. Spent a lot of yesterday outside exploring a nearby town and some old church ruins. Have been on the go cleaning, plus did my couch to 5k and…

Happy Sunday/Superbowl day, all! Prepped some buddha bowls for some lunches this week - quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes/broccoli/red onion, spinach and arugula, sliced almonds, and a drizzle of a maple balsamic dressing. Yum! Going to snack a bit today, of course. Going to get back to tracking, etc. Have used this week to…

Hello all!! The last week + has been a whirlwind. Lots of travel, 3 day cruise, pre-wedding and then wedding festivities, and then driving home to another friend in town. I am absolutely exhausted!!! Anxious to catch up and get back to my routine! Hope all have been doing well!

Happy Tuesday!! Busy weekend and busy week here. Lost 1.5 lbs last week, but workouts won’t be done as much this week. Early Friday morning I leave for Orlando. That begins the bachelorette cruise and wedding festivities for my friend getting married in St Petersburg. Been packing, preparing, and fulfilling bridesmaid…

—— Yes!! So that’s about a 4 hour distance. If you don’t mind a little driving, I’d say go for that! I don’t think there are any direct flights from Charleston to Raleigh - you’d end up probably spending more money and time trying to fly there!

Hello all! Eating is better and better - but still snacking a bit too much at times, even if it’s a healthier snack. Had to work late today. Was going to do both workouts, but I still got in one of them! Proud of that at least. Before I’d come home too tired and would make excuses. So ready for this weekend. Next weekend…

Hello all! Hope everyone had a good weekend! I think forgiveness is a wonderful theme for the year! Got all of my workouts in this weekend - proud of my consistency this week! Haven’t done this well in a long time. Went out and made healthy choices too. Hoping that this week is an even better week. Meal prepped some easy…

Happy Friday all!! I’ve been doing well, all things considering! Had a bit of a splurge last night, but back on it today. Since Wednesday I’ve completed 3 workouts - so that is huge as well! I did weigh myself the other day and I didn’t do too bad over the holidays - gained 3 lbs, so hopefully I can have that back off…

Happy NYE everyone! So glad I took today off. Got to sleep in some, and I just got my workout done! I feel good about that. Going to try and make a fabulous dinner tonight and not over-do it too much. Staying at home with husband, doggies, siblings, and my Mom. Should be nice. marsellilove - Glad you're feeling better!…

Hello all! Phew! Just got back from Jacksonville two hours ago. Tried to keep things pretty healthy but it’s hard there. My husbands family eats out for almost every meal! We tried to pick healthier options out... did our couch to 5k workout, but then everyone got/made me dessert for my birthday that was two weeks ago.…

Happy Saturday all! Super proud of myself - drove to Jacksonville to do Christmas with my husbands family. Brought my workout clothes and sneakers and went out first thing to do my couch to 5k workout and walk!! Did it in the rain! Only covered 2 miles, but super proud I got it in despite being out of town. Going to spend…

Got a 3.5 mile run/walk in! Started my couch to 5k back up and walked the rest. I feel so much better. Need to keep that in mind. Now to eat a healthy dinner and relax. Going to work a bit early tomorrow, and then driving to my FIL’s to do Christmas with them! Hope all are having a good night.

I will definitely join you on a walk today! As soon as I leave work, I’m getting one in. Hope all are having a good day! Trying to eat well and drink lots of water.

Hello everyone! I hope you’ve had a great Christmas. This past week has been a whirlwind. Drove 11 hours on Friday to my hometown to see my Dad and clean up his place. Spent Saturday and Sunday there and then drove back the 11 hours overnight. His alcohol abuse has taken quite the toll. He can hardly talk or move his body,…

I've had a terrible week both stress and eating wise. Spent days worrying about my Dad, who I found out went on another one if his drinking binges. He ended up falling on Wednesday and wasn't found until Saturday, when I asked my Uncle to go check on him. He is diabetic and had been days without food or water. Super…

Happy Birthday, Lana!!!!!

Hello all!! Checking in again. I feel like everything is so crazy lately. Some family drama here and yesterday was my birthday. Just trying to keep things together and not eat too poorly! All things considered, I think I am doing pretty well (except for the occasional birthday treat or two!) Hope all are having an OK week.…

Hello all! Rainy, rainy, busy weekend. Made better choices for a friends bday dinner out last night (ahi tuna and a side salad). Doing pretty well, overall. Going to try my best to get some exercise in this week. I really do feel better when I do it. Birthday is Tuesday... celebrating next weekend. Going to enjoy but not…

Happy Thursday all! Busy, busy, busy. Work, buying Christmas gifts, and husband out of town. Went for a nice long walk after work and have been eating pretty well. Going to keep dinner easy tonight and make sure I stay at my calories. Lunch ending but wanted to drop by and say hi!

Hello all! Finally starting to feel back to normal after some jetlag all week. I forgot to post (thought I had) that I was in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin for about 10 days prior. My husband and I took my Mom. It was a hectic, crazy, beautiful trip but I've spent the last week re-adjusting to the time zone, etc. I was in…

Hi all! Happy Friday! Geez. Thought I had posted in here but must not have hit Post reply, lol. Have also had problems accessing the community boards on my phone the last day or so! Have been doing well eating this week! Staying under calories, not snacking, and making better choices overall. Had blackened mahi mahi and…

Morning all! I’m back!! I was on vacation for the last 10 or so days. Just wanted to drop by and say hi! I’ll update more later! Hope you’re all doing well!

Good Morning Dawn - *Hugs* I’ve been going to bed so early this week. Went pretty early last night and got up early this morning because the puppy was whining. Fed the dogs and just wasn’t able to go back to sleep after... I decided to get up and take a walk and let the dogs and husband sleep! Walked for 80 minutes and…

Hello all!! Marsellilove- I totally know what you mean. My biggest problem is always the “reward” drink or drinks and sometimes food that I eat at the end of a long day. I’ve also been trying to substitute tea. It’s not always the same effect, but it is relaxing. I just need to re-learn good habits. Keep trying.. Ate…

Hello all! *Waves* Rainy Monday overall here as well, so didn’t get that walk in. Did load up on veggies and stick to my dinner plans, which is always the toughest thing for me. I do great for breakfast and lunch but when it comes time for dinner and the evening? All that effort out the window! It was lovely getting the…

TGIF, Indeed! enterdanger - CONGRATS! Fantastic job. I bet you do feel better! Kathryn - Hope you feel better soon! Glad you got the tooth taken care of though! Twiley - Congrats on entering Onederland! You should be proud. Tilliesmommy - Great job on your steps! misaq611 - WELCOME to the group! We've all been there -…

Happy November all - it's definitely weird to say that! Twiley - That is a GREAT NSV! Congrats! Lynn - I am trying to learn to stop beating myself up too. It's not good or fair to me, but it's also counterproductive in that it does nothing to truly motivate me to be better. It just makes me feel worse. I like your…

LOL!! Love your halloween shirt! I didn't do anything for Halloween in terms of a costume. I did go to a "Halloween Bash" they had here which was fun and a nice little break today. So far so good with eating. Didn't get my walk in last night, but I'll make it happen after work today. Trying to think of dinner ideas. I have…

Hello all! Happy Halloween eve! Happy hour with massage sounds perfect! Haha Lana - love the avocado salsa dressing idea! I need to give this a try! Sounds delicious and low calorie. Lunch time here and I made sure I ate my veggies first!! Really aiming for a loss this week - any loss! Going to take a nice walk after work.…

Good Morning all! Trying to not have the Monday blues this am. Had a really lovely, busy weekend as always. I really don't know how to relax most of the time, lol. Got a few walks in too, but ate so-so. Celebrated my husbands bday since I was out of town last weekend. It was fun, though. I've been staying right around 183…
