Hey cool kids, please bear with me as I'm learning this group. It looks like exercise is a thing, which is great because like Jayemes, workout time is my way of relieving stress and it's my sanctuary, too! I haven't done anything today or yesterday, I have a cold. Maybe tonight if the fog lifts, so to speak. But tomorrow…

Took a 50 minute interval training class this morning and I'm hoping to reach 9000 steps today (desk job).

That was me too, Serendipity22; my aunt was telling a friend (about me, in front of me) "she looks so good! And she was so fat before") as she was pinching my waist. That incident was one that made me want to keep the pounds on for a long time. I only lost the weight when I realized that I didn't care and I was going it…

These tracks are on my short list. I dance a lot of the time for exercise and these are three I dance to nearly every time.

I still have Gastritis, which is awful, but on the plus side, I've lost 3 pounds. So there is that. Jan 7th - 163 Lbs Jan 17th - 162.6 Jan 24th - 162.1 Jan 30th – January Goal -2.5 pounds January Actual –.9 pounds Feb 6th – Feb 13th – 158.9 Feb 20th – 160.8 Feb 27 – February Goal -2.5 pounds February Actual March 6th –…

I definitely don't have any answers here. What I've been doing is restricting my sugar intake. I try to limit it to less than 10% on any given day. But I'll allow myself 2 caramels and a sugar free hot chocolate, for instance, and then nothing else. That seems to be working so far.

It's been a rough month so far. I found out I have gastritis and everything I eat or drink hurts (after meds). I had an endoscopy on Tuesday and that was how I found out I have gastritis. I suspect it's based on H. Pylori (hoping actually, since then it's an easy fix - if it isn't it will be much more challenging to…

I'll try this: Starting weight for this challenge:Erm - can't remember! Starting weight with MFP - can't remember either. Is there any way to edit our posts rather than making more entries? I was trying to find an entry, but i'm guessing we just have to make new ones, right? Jan. 7: 161.6 Jan. 14: Jan. 21: Jan. 28: January…

Yes, I have that problem, too. I was taking a Nexium vacation, but Nexium wasn't working so well, so I ended my not so great vacation early, lol. I was eating pretty poorly around the holidays but because of my GERD, the last two days have been close to as exemplary as I can muster. Lean meats, vegetables, and fruit, with…

I'll try this: Jan. 7: Jan. 14: Jan. 21: Jan. 28: January Goal: 160 January Actual: Feb. 4: Feb. 11: Feb. 18: Feb. 25: February Goal:157.5 February Actual: Mar. 4: Mar. 11: Mar. 18: Mar. 25: March Goal:155 March Actual: Apr. 1: Apr. 8: Apr. 15: Apr. 22: Apr. 29: April Goal:152.5 April Actual: Weight lost this week:…

Just for today: Go to the gym - X Write in my journal - X Do my stretches - TBD Do my exercises for physical therapy - TBD Keep my calories under 1440 - so far, so good. Go to bed by 9 p.m.

Just for today: I will try to focus and also allow some "me time" (which can also help me focus).

My mom is a self-righteous health food fanatic. I totally mean that - if there were a temple of healthy eating, she would be volunteering full time. And she would be the type that looks down on people that don't worship like her (I've had this conversation with her before). So I get a lot of indirect talk about how I eat,…

Nice, bblueyes1! I'm 47 and I've been a bit stuck in a rut, lately. If I could lose 8 pounds, I would be happy. More is great, but 8 is all I need (and it seems, the hardest).

Just for today: post in MFP community 75 min of dancing Limit carb.intake to 70 (read: lots of veggies) Enter stuff in my journal Bonus if I can do all over body 30 min. Workout Be patient with my kids😁

This is my first entry. JFT: Carb intake of 60 or less. This translates to a lot of veggies for meals :-) stretching, planks, etc: 1/2 way done. Dance for 45 min: TBD Personal Journal entry: 5 min. I think if I can do these, I'll be happy.

Sounds like what I was going through. I do that stretch - each knee individually, then both, then supine twists (I think this helps me the most). It seems like stretching is getting just as long as the workouts![/quote] LOL, I try to stretch 30 - 60 minutes a day. My stretching is often longer than the work outs, but…

8/14 - 1 min 50 seconds of front plank; 2 min. side planks 8/13 - 1 min. front plank; 8/11 - 2 min. front plank 8/10 - 1 min. front plank; 2 min. side plank.

8/6: 2 min. regular 2 min. side planks 8/5: 1 min.

1) I feel entitled sometimes to be rude or show my irritation towards people. I need to work on that. 2) I'm terribly self conscious and don't do well in front of others, or in interviews. I like to dance and I'm trying to get competitive, and this is really in the middle of that issue.

8/1 - 2 min. plank 8/2 - day off 8/3 - goal is for 2 min. plank and 2 min side plank. I don't have a monthly goal. I just want to expand and challenge my existing plank practice. :smile:

I've been bad with (not) posting. But I've been doing regular planks and side planks. 7/29 - 1 min 50 sec. 7/28 - 1 min 10 sec. Wa wa. I'll try better for August.

Hard boiled eggs, a quinoa salad involving beans, cheese sticks are in that direction.

7/5 1 min. Plank; 1 50 sec plank 7/6 1 min. Plank 7/7 2 planks 1 min each

7/4 - 2 sets of 60 second planks

Santa Sangre and I'm Gonna Get You Sucks are faves.

I have never met my father and he doesn't know I exist. He left my mom before she had a chance to tell him. I don't even know his real name.

I meditated this morning and I'm hoping to write in my log for 5 minutes. I'm trying to focus on how I feel. I can do goals all day, but the emotional part is hard for me.

7/1 - 20 minutes dance practice 7/2 - 43 minutes dance practice 7/3? We'll see.
