AprilRaineyBattle Monday PW:164 CW:164

AprilRaineyBattle Monday PW: 163.2 CW: 164 My laptop is dead. Weight is up again but going down in inches. I put on a pair of pants that fit well a couple of months ago but then needed a belt to keep them at my waist last night. Starting another round of 21 Day Fix this week because the results have been fantastic. I…

AprilRaineyBattle PW: 162.2 CW: 163.2 I'm on my phone today so can't see much. I finished 21 Day Fix Extreme Sunday. Weight seems to go up and down on strength training programs but I have been really pleased with progress so far. Hope everyone has a great week!

Hey all! I am still here; I've just been super busy. I have 6 days left of the 21 Day Fix Extreme workout and my results have been really good. I plan on continuing with another Beachbody program similar to it while I have the membership because I doubt I will renew it. Whole30 is technically over but I have only added…

AprilRaineyBattle Weigh in day: Monday Previous Week: 165.4 Current Weight: 162.2 ICE BREAKER QUESTION of the Week: Winter hats - do you wear one, or do you prefer not to mess up your hair? I wear a hat, hood, or knitted headband during the winter when its cold enough (30 or so). I sweat a lot in my head and leaving the…

AprilRaineyBattle Weigh in day: Monday Previous Week: 164.4 Current Weight: 165.4 I am up a whole pound this week. I know I have not been over on the calories so I can only guess it's the workouts. I am sore today! I am working my way thru 21 Day Fix Extreme along with the step classes I teach and attend plus some other…

@TeresaW2024 – That’s great about the house! Prayers that it will be everything that you all need. House buying can be stressful so its really cool that things are falling into place the way they are. @laurelfit57 – Oh my! I cannot begin to imagine that type of cold. We had temps in the 70s this weekend. @Katmary71 – What…

AprilRaineyBattle Weigh in day: Monday PW: 164 CW: 164.4 Wow! I'm just getting to see the numbers - way to go team!

@TeresaW2024 - up next is probably 21 Day Fix extreme. Do you do structured workout programs? My bingo goals for 2025 include completing 2 structured programs and I figure two 3-week ones are better than nothing LOL. I’ll see what happens after those. I want to be consistent with strength training. @trooworld - I hope the…

@TeresaW2024 I’ve set a goal to just not have cookies at all for now. At least until I have been at goal/maintenance for a while and can try them again as a treat every once in a while only. Being at home with no kids makes it easy enough as they are not my husband’s go-to. When he does get them, he will get some with…

@Katmary71 – peanut butter cookies are my favorite (because peanut butter is my favorite). There is an Olde English style bakery about a 20 minute drive away from me that sells fantastic ones. But I will order two and only get two. Then the next day I will fixate and want more and try to hold out until getting them from…

@Cornanda – Wow I never thought to check to see if a pistachio was truly a nut. That was some really helpful information - Thank you. @micaroo4 - At least I know I am not alone. I just hope it similar to your experience in that I won’t have to give up certain stuff forever. Oh my! That is so cold! How often do you see…

Way to go team! Those weight loss numbers look great! I have less than 2 weeks left for the Whole30 elimination phase. I had a pretty strong reaction to pistachios last night and I was pretty bummed about it. Some of the foods I have loved for so long have begun to cause gastric/allergy problems and I feel like my little…

@trooworld the date creamer was actually pretty good. Just wasn’t what I wanted. I think I am beginning to prefer the unsweetened coffee. Congratulations on the loss! @TeresaW2024 So sorry to hear about your dog and your niece. I will say a prayer for both, I really hope it works out. @morenin Shoveling is definitely a…

@AnAbsoluteDiva functional/practical movement in lieu of or addition to exercise is so smart. I like the idea of intentionally moving more doing everyday things. I am starting to desire sweetener less and less these days. Copying an idea I saw on a Reddit post, I made a coffee creamer with dates and almond milk in the…

@Katmary71 I did yellow split peas with onion, carrots, and then kale mixed in at the end. I eat them with sliced tomato and sliced radishes on the side. I don’t know why I favor this combo so much but its one of my happy healthy meals. I do use cinnamon in my coffee as well as nut pods creamer. Those have made a big…

@trooworld OMGee. I love birds – they are my favorite animals. Thanks for sharing the pics, sounds like a great time. @TeresaW2024 Are you doing no sugar including naturally sweet foods/fruit? Or just added sugars? You may have said somewhere and I missed it. It has been the toughest not to add any kind of sweetener to my…

Happy Sunday! Its been a super busy day today. I did a 2-hour workout at home because I was practicing some advanced step aerobics moves with my husband and then did the 21 Day Fix upper body workout. Forgetting that I was meeting the kids to go to an interactive game room with lots of jumping, running and moving. I ended…

Hey everybody! It's cold and snowy where I am in Alabama today and the weather has me sleepy and wanting to bury myself under the covers. I finished 1 week of Whole30-ish as of yesterday and feeling pretty good. It's not been as bad as I thought it would be and I don't miss certain foods as much as I thought I would. Does…

I am hoping to join in to more conversation. It's been a long time since I have used this type format and it was so weird and confusing on my phone. I broke out the laptop and I think it's a bit more user friendly. :)

@vegan4lyfe2012 The bingo card is pretty primitive LOL.

Do you set goals for the year? If so, how do you keep track of them? This year I am doing a Bingo Goals card for January and then another for the 2025 year as a whole. I have a list of non-food related rewards (like a pair of my favorite socks, sports massage, new leggings, etc) for when I make Bingo. I'm actually excited…

@Katmary71 Monday is the right day and today's as good a day as any AprilRaineyBattle Weigh In Day: Monday PW (Previous Weight): 178 CW (Current Weight): 175.2

Hi everyone! I am a 45 year old empty nester 🥳 in Alabama. I work a full time desk job, teach step aerobics twice a week, and help my chef husband on occasion with large catering jobs. I am always on the move so I know all to well that I cannot out-train a bad diet. Holidays and a trip to Nashville (just got back today)…
