Also, OP, think about the flow of your day, your children’s schedule, your house setup. Maybe some adjustments need to be made.

] Sometimes this isn’t always possible. <rolls her eyes>. sooo my REALISTIC suggestion is to find a supplement that works well for you while you are working towards getting more sleep. For me it’s coffee. I grind my own beans and sip away.

NOPE it surely does not. There are ways around this. #creativity

I look at the calories on my Garmin but to me they mean nothing.

Carol - I hope you are better. Lol!...grandchildren kisses are worth it. I have been waking up the past 3 nights with coughing like every other hour with all of my children. I was EXHAUSTED when we opened presents yesterday morning. I had to take 3 Tylenol extra strength. I was supposed to workout this morning but I…

] I think Carol and I are hoping someone will step up to lead the group. Personally, I plan to actively look for a full time job come January, I’m hoping to complete online certification to be able to teach online courses and I want to add a lifting day at the gym as well as do spin and swim. I definitely love the group…

Your friend is mistaken.....sadly. One, you aren’t “dieting”. Two, cheesecake AND pizza...together....REALLY?!?!???

^^^this! Which is the theme of most people around me.

Yes. This was my first lifting program and I loved it. Go for it!

Well, hats off to you. Whatever you are doing is working. It would do me some good to start logging again but I personally feel like if I eat what I’m supposed to then there’s no need to.

Carol, you are doing well. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I actually just noticed that Monday is when the group ends. Yikes! I’m no where no goal but then again I didn’t try really hard to get to that goal. Anyway, we can take a “break” next week and think about how we want to handle the group. I do think some…
