Happy Sunday all! And hello to new and “old” members! This last week has been pure insanity at work, and then exhausting at home with the puppy. She insists on waking up at 4 am every morning so we are working on that! Haven’t been eating the best, but I’m not really gaining. Really trying to get back on the good eating…

Hello all! Busy, busy Tuesday. Kind of a crappy work day and my butt is dragging, but need to get my workout in. The heat index is like 105 outside and my equipment is in my hot and humid garage.... so yeah! Going to drink plenty of water. This weather has been HOT lately. Tried to do a couch to 5k workout the other day…

Happy Monday all! It’s been a busy few days of helping family members move, anniversary, and bbqs. Eager to get back on track now that things aren’t so chaotic. Eating well and need to drink some more water today. I’ll check back later. Hope all are well!

Hi all! It’s been a busy few days so I apologize! Drank a few days last week when things got busy, plus some wine at an anniversary dinner. Even just having two drinks I noticed I didn’t feel as good, sleep as good, etc. Hoping for a good, AF work week. I’ll try to read more posts later! Happy Monday to all.

Just reading over all of the sad alcohol/drinking + driving stories. My Grandma is a recovering alcoholic who has drank off and on (mostly on) for years and years. Two years ago she drank a 12 pack (and she takes some heavy duty meds as well), ended up falling and breaking her femur, which was protruding from her leg. She…

Happy Hump Day, all! Thanks for the kind puppy comments. :blush: Starting to get a little more sleep! Just need to continue to master our new routine, lol. I've been getting to bed too late. I am a flats girl too! When I wear heels (like yesterday) my toes definitely don't appreciate it. It doesn't help that I have wide…

Hello all and Happy Monday! I've been lurking in this thread but haven't had time to post! Doing extremely well for the month of June. Had some big weight loss last week and really starting to get the hang of this healthier lifestyle and moderation! Here's to everyone having a happy, healthy week.

Happy Monday all! Not really thrilled about Monday being here and being back in the office, but what can you do? A bit tired this morning but doing ok! Had a nice loss last week and have been doing really well with eating. Need to get some exercise in after work, and definitely try bed earlier tonight. Hope all are doing…

The puppy is some sort of Staffordshire terrier mix! Mom was a smaller, 40 lb staffie but they don't know who the Dad was. I guess the Mom was abandoned and they took her in and discovered she was pregnant! I love animals too. This is dog #3. Hahaha

Happy Sunday, all! It's been a busy weekend. Went to a local animal society event yesterday and came home with a puppy - so that's kept us pretty busy. :) Still eating well and got a workout in yesterday. It's been gloomy and rainy off and on so we've been mostly staying indoors and doing some house work.

izenzo, I feel you there! I have two big dogs and I can never keep up with all of the hair! I've had a VERY strict, healthy diet this week with no indulgences, so I am going to enjoy a little* bit tonight. Having a little date night with my husband but keeping it reasonable. I've eaten well all day and week and don't want…

Weighing in tomorrow. It's my first real week doing well. Anxious to see! Kudos to all who have weighed in so far!
-
Of course you can! Nice to meet you!

I'm a potato chip girl all the way... and also chronically stressed, LOL. Makes sense! :smiley:
-
Hoping all had a good day! It was a busy one but I've been doing well. I'll check in again tomorrow. Have a good night everyone!

Very proud of myself tonight. Went out to eat and stuck to a very healthy menu item, with unsweetened tea. We even went to a brewery after and I just got some ice water. Home now and feeling good. I was more tempted than I have been in recent days but I'm proud of myself for sticking to it!
-
That's a great idea! 6 days sober here too. I've also been doing the Lacroix. Your chocolate drink sounds delicious! I'll have to try something like that!
-
Man, these are all so true. I notice a big difference in my face and skin since I've upped the drinking the past year or so. I compare to old photos of myself and it is amazing. You definitely can't deny the benefits...

Hello all! Happy Tuesday. Just wanted to check in. Have been doing very well the past few days and starting to feel better. Have been a bit under the weather with stomach/head issues, but starting to feel better. I've been getting lots of rest. Hope you all have a great day!
-
Hello all! 4 days AF now, which is the longest amount of time I’ve gone without drinking in a long time! Between finally making better diet choices and this, I am feeling much better. Go figure!
-
Yes yes yes!!! For so long I’ve slept so horribly because of the drinking. I haven’t had anything all weekend and I’ve woken up each day feeling so good, and with much more energy!

I am back for June for sure! I really feel like I am starting to make some progress (I've been cutting back a lot more than I used to), but I want to get better. I went out last night with my husband and brother and I did have two. But when we got home, they continued drinking until late in the evening and I just had…

Happy Friday, everyone! Whew, it's been a crazy, but good week! I am glad the weekend is here. I started the Stronglifts program this week and am making some good progress with some of my biggest weight loss issues (like cutting back on the delicious wine and craft beers I love, and not snacking in the evening). I am…
-
I’m in!!! Haven’t done a real challenge yet. Just starting out again and I need it.
-
Good Morning! It's Tuesday... back to work! At least we have a shorter week, eh? I did pretty good this weekend, despite the holiday weekend. Not great. I indulged a little but definitely didn't go overboard. My husband and I did get our weight lifting rack and everything set up in the garage. Man, it was hot in there! I…
-
Continuing to be able to go out and just have 1, maybe 2, and go home and not continue the usual cycle. Proud of this little bit of progress so far. This has been a busy week so I've been out and about more. Today has been more about relaxing at home, cooking healthy meals, and drinking lots of water. Feeling better for…

Amazing! I love these reminders: that weight is really just a number and doesn't tell the whole story. You look fantastic and strong now! Thanks for posting. :)
