Well, I didn't make the 4th of July, but I did hit 179 this morning! Maybe I'll finish Goblet of Fire (164) by the 4th this year lol

I started c25k last spring at about 3.6 mph on the treadmill, eventually moved it up to 4 mph and got stuck there. Started running outside this winter and realized I could run a 13 min/mi pretty easily.

There are plenty of sensory friendly clothing options that can be worn in public. Disabilities mean that you have different challenges not that you can't do things. Dance in place between your bodyweight exercises, no jumping, no leaving your house and you can control the intensity.

Had that issue with my Charge 2, eventually it stopped charging at all :neutral:

Planning ahead is really helpful. Prepare everything you can on a day off or a less busy night, it sucks losing that down time but you more than make up for it by having more time/less stress during the week! Also, try not to change everything at once. Just log everything for a while, once that becomes easy try adding more…

Starting weight: 196.6 Goal weight: 130 Current weight: 189.0 Total weight lost: 7.6 This week's successes: I ran 10 miles yesterday!! B) This week's challenges: Conquering cookie cravings and sticking with the meals I planned instead of whatever sounds good at the moment.

Egg muffins are great, I find they are still good on Thursday, haven't had any left for Fridays. For lunches I make chicken and rice bowls, they last easily until Friday. I change them up with Mexican, Thai, or whatever flavors I want that week. They also freeze and reheat well.

I do it right after work as part of my going home routine. I tried working out in the morning but I found that having to go to bed early enough to do so wasn't working for me or my family.

Italian Dunkers! Basically cheesy garlic bread with marinara sauce to dip it in.
