  • Exercise: 4.8 mile walk Tracked: Yes Calories: Yes I'm trying to do less social activities that are centered around food, so my friend and I went for a walk in the park again. We did go out to eat but we both ordered from the snack menu (2 sliders and fries). It was perfectly filling. He had a margarita and I drank water,…
  • I weigh myself daily, but I am taking a break from it this week. My weight is up and I'm pretty sure it's because I started the new strength program and while I know my muscles are holding on to more water, mentally it is a little tough for me. I weigh myself because I need it for that extra accountability because I just…

  • @LazyBlondeChef I don't know what kind of lunge variations you are doing with your program, but I was finding doing lunges with weights was really bothering my knees. I started doing reverse lunges instead and it solved the problem for me. This is the video that I found that helped me. She goes over squats first and then…

  • Exercise: Core 10, Yoga 30, Arms 10 +20, Walk Tracked: Yes Calories: Yes After losing weight twice before and stopping tracking only to gain the weight back, I've realized I will always need to track my food.

  • Exercise:✅. 10 Core, 10 + 20 glutes & legs, 30 yoga hips, 45 min walk Tracked:✅ Calories:✅. Thinking I might reward myself with a Hypervolt percussion massage gun if I stick with the strength program/calendar for the month.
  • Exercise:✅ Today was an active recovery day, and I needed it as I am ouchy all over. Yoga 10 hips, Pilates 15, Core 10, Spin Low Impact 25. Tomorrow is supposed to glutes and legs day but I think I might need to swap it with arms and shoulders. We'll see how bad it is tomorrow. The 10 min cores are killing me the most…
  • My goals this month are keeping with the strength training program and do a daily yoga no matter how short. Food wise I am trying to get 3 servings of fish a week and hit 20 out my 24 Daily Dozen serving. Today's strength program was a lot of short classes but it added up and I feel asleep on the couch for a bit 😂. The…

  • Exercise: Yoga 20, pilates 20 Calories: Yes Tracked: Yes - Are you challenged by any particular foods? Fig Newtons! I have no self-control with them. Everything else I feel like I am able to fit into my calorie allotment. The other thing I have to be careful about is eating out at restaurants or ordering in food because…
  • Lol, this morning was a bit of a whoops moment. I was making a smoothie and threw in a few extra ingredients. Cough.. 649... calorie smoothie which is about double my normal breakfast. So ended up over. I like getting the fruits and veggies in my smoothie, but I'm also just not finding them as filling. NSV - Since it was…
  • Congrats to all UAC Champions and Winners. What an awesomely long list!! I've been MIA for most the month. Just was in a bit of a funk. Yesterday, though, I went with a friend to the new Little Island Park in NYC, which is very cool. And then we went for a walk through the Highland Park. It was just the reset I needed.…

  • ✅✅✅ Daily Dozen: 19/24 Passes: 3 of 3 As for my weight loss journey, I gained weight many years ago and lost it by walking and watching what I ate. Then I was in a hit and run accident (I was not badly injured) that left me feeling a bit tired and I got out of the habit of walking. Gained all the weight back. Few years…

  • The 2nd was a pass for me too. Just poor planning on my part really. I splurged at the breakfast buffet and it was either no dinner or go over. I decided on dinner (a healthy one though - unlike breakfast). Passes 2 of 3.

  • Well, I am back in NY now but had a wedding to go to right when I got back, lol. Not the best way to start off the new month but the 1st was a pass for me. Waaaayyyy over calories and I didn't even bother tracking all the tapas I had at the wedding not to mention drinks. Oh my! I've ordered a bunch of frozen fruits and…

  • @mshawski Love the ring, very much the style I like. Today, my little sweetie Kitcat whose been with me for 15 years passed away. It's really hard that I wasn't there for her (I'm still in Atlanta), but my best friend who was cat sitting was. She went very quickly and peacefully he said. I'd missed my morning walk, but…
  • ✅✅✅ Fruits/veggies - 5/6 Protein is something that I am consistently coming under on. It's something I need to focus on when I start up my weight training again.
  • ✅✅✅ Fruits/Veggies- 4-5 Actually, today we went to Callaway Gardens, which was fantastic. We walked some trails while and saw a show Birds of Prey. My family has always liked going on trails together. My dad was telling me I actually had been here before when I was in a stroller and he was stationed nearby.
