Quick hike after work in the Pacific NW

I came to sunny Arizona this week for some rest! Loving the walks and jogging in this beautiful place.

So pretty! Love seeing your posts. The Pacific Northwest is so wonderful!

Love that your dog pals are with you!

I've always wanted to do to Catalina Island! Thanks for sharing

This is gorgeous!

Beautiful @NorthCascades! Today was a fitness trail in town with friends, and we all brought our dogs.

I'm also a mom and working at this. I requested a bunch of you. My first 17 pounds are gone, but there is more progress to be made. My thyroid is a pest, but the weight comes off now when I put in the work.

Ending spot on today's hike

I did the harder workout today- kickboxing instead of a walk. What better-for-you choices did you make compared to what you wanted to do?

It's true! I don't want to admit that I didn't follow through. Typing things out here is helpful, even when there aren't a lot of comments or I'm not sure if it gets read.

Turned some unused space into an exercise area!

I understand! But I still lost 1.4 pounds last week. Hope you get okay results too!

Sometimes admitting I'm a little off track helps me to start again. Pick one thing for tomorrow to focus on. You can do it!

Ugh! Over calories 5 of the last 7 days. I'm tracking and staying accountable, but it's hard to see it high when I'm making smarter choices than I did before- sharing a meal instead of a eating a whole one, counting a serving of chips at the Mexican restaurant instead of eating mindlessly from the basket, getting more…

Northcascades, those are gorgeous!

I'm starting again, too. We can do this!

That's so sweet! Certainly not, but I'd love to have legs like hers and maybe I will when I keep at this.😉 Thanks for the compliment. Treadmill workouts can feel like an eternity, so good for you for finding a way to make it pass more quickly. Putting on my workout clothes is the first battle for me, and once I do I'm…

Hello! I sent friend requests to all 3 of you. I love to post (and see posts) about food swaps- for example, I skipped the bun and turned dinner into a salad to stay on track! It's helpful for me to see people trying and putting in the work. This isn't easy. My calories count is at 1330 calories and I swear they evaporate…

Here's the top of today's hike

Hi, I'm a former Sparker, too and had been successful there until I quit tracking and trying. Starting again. I'm a mom and work full time. Feel free to friend me.

I'm a mama too. We got this! Feel free to add me.

I'm new too. No advice yet, but wishing for your success.

Hi! I'm a mama of 3 and would love to connect with some other moms and wives. Feel free to friend me. I'm just getting started here after using SparkPeople off and on for years.

Please add me. I'm at the beginning again, too, this time from my heaviest. There's a big story, but bottom line is that it's time to take care of it without stopping after a few weeks or months.
