It really freed up the end of the week...I…

Happy Sunday, ladies! So yesterday, my sister and her boyfriend came over to help me do some work on my house for a few hours. Then, I took them out to lunch afterward. I got a healthy enough sandwich, but I decided to get fries with it. Everything was great, but it was the first time I've been in a restaurant since I…

Same, girl, same. I've been hitting the gym four times a week, but I always go straight to the pool. I know it's important to strength train and build muscle, but swimming is making me happy and keeping me motivated. So I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing and reevaluate I'm a couple months.

Happy Thanksgiving, ladies! I went about 1,000 calories over today, but I'm not too bothered. No guilt for enjoying myself with family and eating things I usually don't. Hope everyone had a lovely day!

@pamperedlinny Definitely give swimming with her a try! Both the air and water temperature at my gym's pool vary wildly from day to day (which is crazy), so I've been taking hot showers in the locker right (with my swimsuit on) and then waiting a few minutes until I'm freezing, to actually hop in the pool. That way it…

Great job for making it to the gym x3 times, but OH NO about your wife! That's terrible. I hope she's feeling better and your family pictures came out alright.

Hello, everyone! And welcome to the newbies!!! 💜 I'm down three pounds from Week 1. Most of that was water weight probably, but I'll take it!

So this month I'm working on establishing routines for myself and I made a chart because seeing my weekly progress written out (for good or ill) is something that keeps me present, motivated, and accountable. I have four different categories: 🍁Exercise: I'm going to start swimming again three times a week and either go for…

Hello, all! Just realized I forgot to check in last Sunday. CW: 260lbs HW//LW: 260//195lbs GW1: 235lbs GW2: 215lbs GW3: 200lbs UGW: 185lbs So my mom is visiting and that's never a good thing because she brought a Costco pumpkin pie, 1/2 a Costco chocolate cake, 2 gallons of ice cream and even more snacks. It's a freakin…

@KeriA I love Aquafit classes and just being in the pool in general. I always loved swimming because it's very low impact, but even more than that I hate sweating when exercising and even if I'm huffing and puffing in the pool, I feel refreshed when I get out! Good luck on your classes and getting your family to help you…

Hello, all! (Not currently at home, but I'll add my CW and the rest of the numbers in a couple days.) We're back in my favorite season and it's finally started to cool off where I live, so it's cool, windy, and rainy and I love it---it gives me tons of motivation! I love going to fall festivals and getting all the yummy…
