Check in: HELLO to the new faces of the group!!! Ok so I have been doing pretty ok this week and have exercised twice already. I’m going to try and get something in tomorrow before the weekend. Food wise I have been attempting to stick to some goals and have decided to be kinder to myself instead of so strict. But I am…

Check in: I have been in a bit of a not so happy place this week. I have been having a hard time at work and was basically called out on it 😑 So I need to start fresh AGAIN, I did start tracking my dinners on a calendar to try and stick to a low carb lifestyle. That worked but I have started snacking rather impulsively and…

Checking in, Things are going pretty well this week since I recently went food shopping. Seeing lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in my fridge makes me feel really good. Prepped some chickpea salad and oatmeal for 5 days of breakfast and lunch this week. Which is making me bored but definitely staying on track. My go-to…

Hello! And Happy New Year!!!! Sorry I was away for a week or so, my MFP was acting weirdo. For anyone who would like to add me as a friend to see my detailed diary or for additional support, you are welcomed to. I am happy to see new faces! Check In: I am currently floating in the 174lb area with a goal to get under 170lbs…

Last week of the year: Plan: track and stay within calories for the week, add some more veggies to the day. Think: how do you want to plan for the new year? a workout routine needs to be planned so start doing that, plan the first two weeks of meals, maybe write it down. Do: forgive the past and be grateful for my…

Checking in: I have had quite the Christmas with the associated binging. What... a... mess. I’m currently having a large glass of white wine and thinking about how to regroup and plan for the new year. I am thinking of taking more full advantage of the free yoga, starting a HIIT routine and tightening the rules with food.…

Checking in: My job is offering a free 2 month subscription to a yoga website so I am trying it out in the hope that it will help me move the scale. I don’t want to have to start AGAIN with eating but I have given up on a soup diet I was doing. It was too restrictive and I feel more comfortable sticking to fresh healthy…

Yoga at 6am update: I was late... but I got in 20mins of activity. I think I might try different instructors throughout the rest of the week to find one I really like. Also, this was a zoom yoga class that everyone had their video on... which was funny because angles are important people... very important. The hospital has…

Happy birthday Lana!!!!!

Checking in: I’m sick of the stupid soup I prepped. Of course... so I am trying to have more vegetables during the day. I am going to go for some free yoga my hospital (work) is offering... at 6am. 🙄 wish me luck! @HealthyTrent I hope your dog is feeling better!!! I miss having a dog 🐶 @ClearNotCloudyMind I don’t think you…

Checking in: My calories were too low with the fruit and soup... so odd because I ate until satisfied. Ugh... sometimes I think the most difficult part of this journey is finding balance. Let’s start AGAIN and get it right. I have also been tasked with making about 1000 sugar cookies for a cookie decorating activity for my…

@ClearNotCloudyMind Thank you ! I was sad to see my hometown impacted this way and so many people suffering. But like they say, NY Toughness is a very real thing. Happy Monday everyone

Check in! I have started prepping some soup and fruit salads for today and the rest of the week and am confident I can stay on track this week. I hope everyone is doing well, it seems like it will be a gloomy week in NYC but I am hoping this will motivate me to do more self care activities like yoga during the day.…

Happy Weekend everyone! I am going to try some new tactics this new week to try and stay under my calorie goals and increase my motivation to stay on track with exercise. Meal prepping being the focus this week. I have cleaned out my home of extreme snacking foods and I am trying to stay on track before the coming holiday…

Happy Friday Just checking in: I have gained some weight back and am considering going the extreme route and throwing away my ice cream in the freezer. I had a rough week and need to start fresh. What to do.... what to do.... The holidays are creeping up on me, my goal right now to stay away from extreme sweets and to…

Checking in Yesterday was a wash. I couldn’t get exercise or my food on track and I was feeling sick (my stomach was in knots) So I am starting fresh today again hoping to get down the 4lbs I gained recently. Trent I am also trying to get water into my day and making it a goal-it makes a serious difference!…

Happy Monday! I have been able to keep up my exercise activities but have been gaining weight-I think it is attributed to my food.... DUH. So I am going to attempt to stay under my calorie goal for the whole week... 7 days and then see where I am next week. Would anyone be interested in sharing recipes? I have shared my…

I truly hope everyone is being safe out to there. I’m hoping everyone feels in control and can reach their goals. It can be difficult but take a deep breath and start by taking the first step forward. ☀️ Sending light and positivity to you and your families. Checking in: I have gained 3lbs. I know I increased my carbs…

Lana- panettone bread is like a buttery brioche bread filled with dried fruits. It’s very Italian and eaten especially during the holiday season. HE’S KILLING ME HERE. I put more butter on it which I am sure isn’t traditional among Europeans. I love in Brooklyn and I work in the Bronx. I have either lived or worked in…

@LanaCabana537 Hope you feel better! I have been doing a 30 day HIIT Challenge for the month of December and wow... I’m tired. My husbands birthday dinner was last night and he is sabotaging me by bringing more and more panettone breads into the house! At least I can say I worked out. Hope everyone is doing well, the cold…

Today was.... not so great. But I am planning on getting back on the workout bandwagon tomorrow. I also am attempting to get rid of this extra stuff my husband keep bringing into the house... who needs three panettone breads??? @HealthyTrent This will be my first time with IUI. I actually put it off for almost 2 years…
