Still feeling overwhelmed with so much to do, but now I have a list! This weekend is going to be incredibly packed, I'm helping my sister paint her new house for moving next weekend, I'm hosting a very small (3-4 people) bachelorette party for my bestie, and somewhere somehow we are fitting in a Mother's Day celebration.…

It seems like many people are struggling and feeling a bit off track. One thing I love about this group, I never feel judged or shamed for times I struggle. One step at a time. Wednesday goals: 80 oz. water ✅ Wednesday goals: 80 oz. water figure out Mother's Day!

I have really fallen off the wagon with many of my habits the last two weeks. Trying not to beat myself up but it’s hard not to feel bad about it. Starting small to get back on track. Just For Today: 80 oz. water.

A bit of a mixed day but did better overall. Trying hard to give myself credit for what I did do. Eating was back on track tonight, which was great. I also managed to get out for a walk/run. I felt like I wasn't doing well, but I pushed myself to focus on doing the best I could and enjoying the beautiful day. It wasn't the…

Really fell off the wagon with habits the last few days. My weight has plateaued for the last few weeks and I think it finally got to me. Logically I know I need to trust the process and check in about where I've been slipping (eating!), but emotionally it's just hard to be putting in so much work and not see progress on…

Signed up for an adult credit card today (aka one with a good rewards plan)! I've been doing very well paying off the credit card debt I've had running for YEARS, and have one more payment before I'm fully clear of all credit card debt. Honestly, it wasn't due to impulsive spending, but due to having massive student loan…

A bit of a roller coaster this week-feeling behind then partially catching up, feeling behind then partially catching up. Still feel way behind on everything, but I know I am doing my best. I think this is the tradeoff for focusing so much on solidifying healthy habits, I have to let other things go a little bit. Hard when…

Tuesdays are always packed, it's my no-break day. The day just flew by. Doing another exercise challenge with my sisters. Well, it was snowing here in MN when I got home so I tried out my apartment's workout room. Usually I would just ride my bike (on a trainer) but it's in the shop for a much overdue tuneup. The…

Look at everyone showing up today! Nice work team! Felt like I really got back on track today. Had some openings on my schedule and so I took advantage of it. Caught on on some reports and brought my bike in for a tune up. Ended the work day with a request for a report (of course not one I'd had time to finish, ah well).…

Wasn't as productive or healthy as I wanted to be this weekend. I feel like I'm behind on everything, but I know that's not true. It's just hard to juggle everything at once, and when I have downtime all I want to do is veg out in front of the TV. Going to try to be proud of what I did accomplish this weekend, and focus on…

This week felt pretty off for me and it sounds like others are having similar off moments. I just noticed my check ins have the days all mixed up-ah well! More important that I posted at all right! My plan for the weekend is to reset. Get back on track where I need to, recharge, and set myself up for a successful week.…

Ready for the weekend here. It's just been a long, rainy week and I need some down time. Managed to finish a full body functional strength training workout tonight and it wasn't too bad. I can almost do a real full pushup which for me is amazing! JFT Monday: 80 oz water ✅ stay in the green ✅ meet all serving…

When your best friend's sister ditches her for wedding cake tasting, you show up and go wedding cake tasting with your best friend. In all fairness, her fiancee was there too but she wanted another opinion. The ONLY reason I didn't go way over on calories was because I went on a 4 mile walk/run and adjusted my dinner ahead…

Today was off to the races! From the minute I got to work until the end of the day I was BUSY. And I felt it. Can say I may not have been at 100%, but I was good enough and I got through. Restarted my HelloFresh subscription this week. I was at the point where I needed to cancel it or restart, so I thought I would try to…

Made up for yesterday with a super productive day today. Caught up on some paperwork, ran a load of dishes, and got four loads of laundry through (folding will be another day!) between sessions. Rounded up the day with a tough workout and a healthy dinner. Got to watch storms across my lake in the warm evening air. It was…

Not a great start to the day. I was having a slow wake up when I got an emergency message from my apartment that there was a gas leak and I needed to evacuate immediately. We were all outside close to two hours before everything was squared away. I had a friend seriously injured in a house explosion years ago due to a gas…

It was glorious here in MN today, up to 70 degrees! I have been taking more breaks from running, and focusing on strength training and recovery. Well something is working because I had my best run yet today! Not necessarily fastest or farthest, but definitely the strongest. The common sense advice holds true: start slow,…

I swear I posted last night! Didn't I? I was pretty tired so I think I just read comments and then closed the laptop lol. Ah well, it's the weekend! I think this will be a wash week due to high stress and some slips with healthy habits. It's going to happen and that's part of the process. I just need to be proud of the…

There must be something in the air, I had a really off day on Tuesday. I was very moody and sensitive, didn't necessarily have any major stressors but just was really struggling. I'll be visiting my grandparents in a few weeks and they ended up inviting my uncles over for an outdoor meal when I'll be there. It will be fine…

Decided to "take it easy" with a strength training exercise tonight. Whoops now my already weak legs are jello! I really cannot do a full squat or lunge-anyone else?. I had to modify about half of the exercises, which is fine. This is how one builds up strength. Just was an eye opener that even though I've been doing great…

So I didn't think of an exchange goal for exercise yet. Today was the last day of an apple watch challenge I did with my sisters. I ended up going on a suuuuuper long walk (5 miles!) to hopefully win the challenge. Suffice to say I am beat. The upside was that I built up a buffer enough to get Culvers for dinner :) I do…

Happy weekend all! Going to log my weight for my diet bet challenge tomorrow and then my goal is to take the day OFF. It's supposed to be rainy and I have no pressing tasks so my goal is to loaf. I may feel guilty but it's so rare that I have the ability to fully take a day for me, I might as well take it! So my goal will…

I have been able to consistently maintain my main food/exercise goals for just over a month now (with some slips as to be expected)! Very proud of my progress, and I think I need to shift into goals that are better for long-term. For example, I know daily exercise is not sustainable, and my body needs rest days. But I have…

Just want to say how much I appreciate the support of this group. When people have wins we celebrate and when people struggle we support them and cheer them on. It's just wonderful to see every day, especially for those of us who may not have people in our lives to do so. Keep being amazing my team! JFT Wednesday: 80 oz…

Short and sweet today. Current reflection word is momentum. Small steps add up! JFT Monday: 80 oz water ✅ stay in the green ✅ meet all serving recommendations for 5 food groups ✅ 30 minutes exercise ✅ screens off 8:30 ✅ track food, exercise, water and post on JFT ✅ JFT Tuesday: 80 oz water stay in the green meet all…

Went on a walk/jog today and was really being hard on myself. Telling myself I wasn't fast enough and didn't look great, that others were judging me. Halfway through I shifted my focus and just paid attention to the enjoyment of my time and the nature around me. Got back home and was looking over my stats, and saw that I…

Keeping this short because the weekend FLEW by and I am beat. Got to have my sisters over for the first time in months (we're all vaccinated and being very safe) and it was really nice. But where did the weekend go! My apartment got a nice deep cleaning to prepare for the visit. The downside of rare visitors has been…
-
I GOT TO HUG MY BEST FRIEND TODAY! It's been over a year but we're both fully vaccinated and were comfortable with it. It was glorious. Wow do I miss hugging! Had to call my sisters out for just some poor communication and repeatedly blowing me off for plans. It was hard to do but I tried to be honest and respectful. It…

Today started out a disaster. Everything I touched just fell apart. So I took my paperwork hour this morning to get myself together. Walk through the house and everything and organize a full to do list for the next few days. I then chipped a few things off of the list just to show I could do something right lol. It put me…
