Daily check in for Wednesday Track: yes Calories: under (just under my "goal" but way under if you include exercise) Exercise: yes - 50 minute weight session Water: yes - well over 100 oz So I pulled out one of the sheets from an older training session yesterday and did it for my exercise - but, of course, I increased all…

@AB0215 when does the July thread "officially" start? Sunday's weigh-in?
-
@gjaholy33 Oh my goodness! Praying that it's nothing too serious.

The drawer (and tub) full of too small clothes. Most are slightly too small. Like 10 lbs too small (I think). I really want some new clothes, but I've got all those just sitting right there...

English muffin with peanut butter, banana and honey. Now i want to add bacon next time! how do you make a bacon roasted jalapeno pancake? I'm not 100% sure what it is, but somehow it still sounds amazing!

Daily Post for Monday Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: no Water: 100+ oz I had to literally run out of work early yesterday, since my husband got stuck at work and couldn't pick up the kids. Which means I missed my workout. :'( I'm actually a little surprised that I came in under my calorie goal. I guess I'm finally…

@Fitness327wk - your food looks yummy! What did you stuff your chicken with?

I've tried some at my gym. They were good, but nothing spectacular. I used it for a post-workout energy and protein burst. (I think mine was labelled keto-coffee, but the nutrition guy said it wasn't really keto. I didn't care one way or the other. @hgycta – I’ve only see Bang coffee drinks with calories – no coffee…

Weekly Weigh-in for Monday: Username: OkieGina Week: June Week 4 PW: 208.4 CW: 205.6 Wahoo! Yesterday's extra-carby- dinner didn't do me as much harm as I'd feared! (I was only up .2 lbs from Sunday morning!).
-
I feel ya! I think this is why I quit setting goals with deadlines for a while. A few weeks ago, I was literally crying to my husband because I've set so many goals that I've never met. And honestly, the goals seemed (and still seem) realistic and attainable to me. I told him that I'm going to keep working and doing what i…

Daily check in for Sunday Track: only for about half the day Calories: I'm sure I was over Exercise: nope Water: not nearly enough I almost didn't do my daily check in, because, well, you can see why...I started out great yesterday, really encouraged by my success on Saturday (tracking, etc.). But then my parents got a new…
-
Ok, (A) that is pure AWESOMENESS! and (B) we really need a laughing button!

Daily check in for Saturday Track: yes, mostly (pretty sure I missed a few bites here and there - lots of cooking) Calories: over, but well within the “exercise” calories for stuff I did yesterday Water: about 100 Exercise: kinda I was over my calories, but I think I stayed within my extra calories earned. I know the…

Daily check in for Friday track: yes Calories: yes, under Water: just under 100 oz Exercise: no (and only made it to about 7k steps) Definitely not my best week for exercise, but sometimes “stuff” just happens. Oh well. 🤷🏼♀️ I think those challenges helped me focus a little more on the nutrition side of things. I hope…

Hi!
-
One of my friends freshman year of college (many, many years ago) was a very big girl - I don't mean fat, I mean she was probably a little over 6 feet tall, had broad shoulders, etc...anyway...she hated when people did this. And she was big enough that she just wouldn't move. She'd like the little "5 foot nothing, 100 lbs…

But seriously, WTH people (that I work with)?!?!? The pie was something someone brought back from lunch for me. But... I was just dropping off paperwork in another department, and 3 or 4 people offered me birthday cake. And not normal, store bought birthday cake (not that there's anything wrong with that), but something…
-
And now someone has offered me pie. Seriously, people?!?!?!? On the plus side, any time I'm tempted, I just ask myself if I'd rather have a cookie (or pie) now, or would I rather have a treat with my family this weekend. That's a no-brainer... :smiley:
-
I think this sounds yummy as well!

Basically, you take coarse ground coffee and let it steep in cold water for 12-24 hours. I usually use a french press and leave it in the refrigerator. It's supposed to be less acidic and smoother than normally-brewed coffee. I tend to drink a lot of hot coffee at during the week (at work), but never seem to finish a cup…
-
There are cookies, from a local bakery, at my desk. My desk if pretty much centralized for our department, and it has a bar/ledge that "goodies" get left on periodically (especially at Christmas). So someone got a box of cookies from the really good local bakery and decided to share. I'm threatening to send the cookies…

Sorry...make cold-brew coffee. Last time I tried it, it turned out "meh" at best. It required LOTS of milk to be drink-able. And this coming from someone who drinks her coffee black...

Good morning, all! It's Friday, it's Friday...and it's sunny here. Although it will be hot and humid today and tomorrow and might storm tomorrow night. I'll take hot and humid over cold and rainy any day, though! Oh, and I bought some new coffee to try this weekend! I've been enjoying cold brewed coffee on the weekends,…

Daily check in for Thursday Track: yes Calories: yes - well, technically I was 16 over my "target" but (1) I personally think that's close enough to be within the margin of error :D and (2) those 16 calories didn't make a dent in the 380+ exercise calories I gained Water: yes - 140 oz (wahoo - finally got that number up…
-
One thing I did well: I rested when I needed to (i.e., skipped some workouts this week because I wasn't feeling good) - WITHOUT feeling guilty or binge-ing. I managed to stay in my calorie allotment those days (not sure why that surprised me since I rarely eat many of my exercise calories) and get some extra steps in those…
-
I just googled the tea too - it looks so cool! One of the images I see seems to show it iced - possibly with the vodka added! ;) But I'm wondering the same thing @forestfreek is - how does it taste? ETA: And now we can ignore my post because I took too long to post!
-
I peel grapefruit and eat it like an orange sometimes. Graham crackers (especially the ones with cinnamon sugar on top) are amazing with peanut butter on top. Peanut butter on waffles (before the syrup). Sometimes I eat okra raw, like a carrot. When I was a kid, they used to make club crackers in a full sheet (like graham…
-
Daily check in for Wednesday Track: yes Calories: over by 20 (thank goodness for exercise calories - they kept me under) Water: no - only 84 oz. I really want to get at least 100 each day. Luckily, I'm off to a better start today. Exercise: maybe? not a gym or any sort of organized effort, but I did make sure I got over…
-
Nope, no shame allowed here! We all have our good days/weeks and bad days/weeks, there is absolutely no shame in that. What I love about this group (and why it's the first one I go to every day) is that we're honest about our struggles and encourage each other to overcome.
-
So glad I saw this post before I finished my online grocery order (yes, I'm one of those people) - I need to get some stuff to make some oatmeal muffins (I think they are like apple pie oatmeal muffins or something - it's a new recipe I want to try). If I have breakfast (I've been doing IF a lot recently), I tend to go…
