Yesterday was pretty good for me I managed to get in all my fruits, vegetable, water, a pretty good exercise session and stayed away from the treats! I'm hoping for a similarly good day today but I doubt I'll be so lucky :p It was leg day yesterday and I'm really feeling it this morning lol. I'm still hoping to get a run…

Nice job Team Yellow on being first place in week two!

Woot, nice job team! That's quite an improvement over last week's numbers :) Looking forward to week 3 and improving everyday. I did a little better this past week with my vegetables so I'm pretty proud of that :p so this week I plan to run every other day as well as add in some strength training 3 times this week.

I found this week really challenging, all I could think of was sweets and even if I had something it didn't feel satisfying. On top of that I've been transitioning from working straight nights to working days and nights so when I'm not working or sleeping I'm dealing with kids. Hoping a better week next week :)

Here Monday is a holiday as well but we have Family Day since I'm in Canada :) Spent the afternoon prepping some fruits and veggies for the next week. It's nice to get it out of the way and it definitely makes it easier just being able to grab something when I'm running out the door with the kids.

They are amazing and they come in so many flavors that you usually end up eating more then one lol

Gloria, Paczki are deep-fried pieces of dough shaped into flattened spheres filled with jelly or cream and dipped into powered sugar or icing. It's like a large fatty jelly filed donut and they are only available on Fat Tuesday (around here).

I'm with you Jane, the past few days I've just felt unmotivated but I managed to get in a decent workout yesterday and that helped a bit. Just have to take it one day at a time and pace yourself.

I'm afraid I wasn't as strong as Gloria yesterday. It was Fat Tuesday so that meant Paczkis when I got to work and I resisted for a bit but couldn't manage it so now I have a sore tummy, headache, and regrets. Today's a new day so let's make it count!

Woo, nice job everyone! I'm sure we all learned and grew this week. I'm excited to continue on this journey with all of you and hope that you all have an amazing week two :)

Morning! Way to go Patti! You gave me something to strive toward for week two :) Overall I think week one went OK but I am looking forward to week two and getting my numbers up. I definitely am having trouble getting in all my vegetables so I have to figure out how to get more into my day. I find that I eat and exercise…

Morning ladies! Well someone ended brining in chocolate chip banana bread during my night shift and long story short I had 3 pieces so there goes my sweet treat point for today :/. I'm very much still learning how to plan and schedule my meals and exercises and am looking forward to next week. Hopefully everyone has a good…

Morning Jane! Sounds like you have a fun filled day ahead of you, enjoy every moment :) I'm almost done my night shift then it's home to my sick boy to rest, it's a hard job but someone's gotta cuddle with him <3

Jane he's 5. A PA day is a day the kids get off school so the teachers can do some Professional Activity (hence the name PA day) like going to workshops, grading, working on report cards.

Morning ladies! My little guy is now sick as well as me :( luckily it's a PA day here so he'd have been home anyways. Slept in today since I'm not feeling the best so I'll have to fit in my workout later. I still had a hard time getting all my vegetables in yesterday. Hoping to get them all in today :) @janetay01 Jane…

@miztessbert Patti I noticed you were using the spreadsheet to log calories burned (fantastic idea!) so I modified yours slightly so it won't mess up the totals but you can see your total calories along the right side. Hopefully you don't have any issues if you do just let me know :)

Good morning ladies! I hope everyone had a good day 2 yesterday! I ended up not exercising at all, it was terrible. I just over scheduled myself at work and am coming down with a cold so I ended up sleeping all day. Feeling a bit better today and have the day off so hoping to get some light exercise in at least. Hoping for…

I agree vegetables are my issue as well. I ended up having to snack on some steamed cauliflower last night at 11pm to get my 3rd serving in. I just didn't pay close enough attention during the day I guess.

No problem Patti, it gave me something to do at work last night :) I know what you mean about saving I away look for the save button before I remember lol. 32 point for me as well but it's only day 2 and I know it's only going to get harder to keep my numbers up. Hopefully day 2 goes as well as day 1!

Morning Jane! I whipped together a spreadsheet for everyone to use with tabs for each person to update and have one place for you to look instead of having multiple people messaging you. If you'd rather not use it thats fine I just thought it migbt be easier :)…

Oh no! A cool bath might help bring it down a bit but hopefully whatever he has is just passing through and he'll be back to his old self tomorrow :) Good morning! I'm hoping my "more" goes as well as everyone's "less" :tongue:

I'm ready! Almost done my midnight shift and managed to avoid the snack machine and even got in some exercise and stretching! I'm going to hopefully get in a walk when I get home before I hit the sack :) Hopefully your little guy feels better, nothing worse then watching your kids in pain :'(

I could use some optimism in my life, mind if I join in the team?
