Today I'm proud that I took the time to relax and watch a few movies AND then workout before bed. 7.5 hours of sleep and then work again in the am.

I LOVE Polar brand and have a fit bit too. I use both. I only put on my HRM when I'm doing "designated" cardio OR goingto be cleaning my house for an hour or two. Other than that, I use my fitbit for general exercise and movements like walking around during the day and unexpected exercise. Between the two I think I have a…

I'm proud that I am making sure to get my water in and REST so my ankle can heal. It takes strength for me to choose to relax. I am a busy bee....

I am proud that I have NOT given up. I'm proud that this morning I packed my breakfast and that I have packed my lunch and had something healthy. I still need to work on my attitude towards cooking all of my meals at home but I am proud of what I've done so far! not to mention I walked to work though I could drive... and I…

Hey everyone!!! WOOHOOO I'm loving the interest! I wnted to mention this but then I didn't want to make anyone nervous... this is basically a HALF YEAR RESOLUTION haha! We are half way through the year! What better time than NOW to recommit ourselves and come January be MUCH HEALTHIER ad better able to manage our lives.…

No worries Cardbuc, I don't do well with militant! I revolt! hahaha :-D See you when you weigh in. Be motivated then motivate others!

Quick update! I had trouble adding sparkleliones and sophiegrace54... MFP says these are invalid names?? I'm not sure why! Maybe try sending an email to MFP to see why they are saying you don't exist! :) Hope to have you in the group soon!

hncall01 - Hey!! I will add you now :-D I'm sending out official invites now! You can all fee free to add me as a friend if you want to see my daily updates and other shenanigans! :-D Ok, so here is the list of people I am inviting right now. sophiegrace54 cbeanies jillebee44 tj3075 awood2785 cardbucfan CarlaMomOf4…

Hey sophiegrace54 !! We would be happy to have you in the group!! I agree with you, a "light" challenge allows us to focus on weight loss AND still enjoy life a bit. making it more of a "lifestyle challenge" and less of a diet! Plus we are more likely to maintain it if we do it at a reasonable pace. Did you get the…

I'm MOST proud that I reached my goal of 10,000 steps. I took care of errands after work and have not been taking too many naps. :)

Bump!

I have horrible cramps and bleeding but YES I workout. I find if I work out before it comes it will make the cramps a little less painful, but ultimately I just feel better when I exercise. I may skip a day if I become anemic... but generally I still workout. I just skip the yoga and do spin bike or run.

I'm VERY proud of the amount of exercise I did yesterday... but I'm ALSO proud of the way I controlled my eating today. I may have under eaten a bit, but I'll bring it to balance tomorrow. I just wasn't very hungry and made better choices! Egg white mcmuffin and nonfat caramel mocha for breakfast Lean cuisine for lunch…

Awesome explanations!! Thanks everyone!

Hey there! When I was in medical school I wanted to find a way to maintain my weight and keep my stress low. I rode my bike to school, got up an hour early to exercise (before class) and or, recorded my lectures to listen to them when I was exercising. Now I'm in residency and put on some weight ~20 lbs . I am planning to…

Way to go Misskitty!!! :-) That takes discipline!

Great job on the moving more Felepers!! I'm proud that today I've stuck to my "eating plan", drinking water, and I worked out!! Burned 870 + calories, made my 10,000 steps (I use a fit bit too), and getting some cleaning/packing done.

I'm following the WW Simple Start Plan for 2 weeks at least. Trying to decide if it's a plan I can live with. :) I know it's easier for me to just have a list of things to eat and not eat. On the plus side, I've been eating lots of fruits today (they are included in the plan). limiting sugar, no fast food today. So all in…

Great job Dconaghan!! I'm proud that I am still skipping fast food more often than I'm not! :-D And I'm increasing my water intake and bringing my lunch! These are MAJOR accomplishments for me.

Keep up the GREAT work everyone! 4 weeks until the NEW YEAR! And whether you've reached your Ultimate goal or not... the MAIN point is that you are working hard towards a goal! Keep UP the great work... Review what you've done RIGHT and what could be done better and let's get back to strategizing the best way to reach our…

I have been only eating half of my food at most meals and ESPECIALLY if I eat fast food! Go mE! Trying to limit the fast food again... but baby steps

dynamite - how everything going since you started loving the yogurts? Hope you're doing well. I'm working on eating every 3 horus again and definitely increasing my water intake!!

Back to the drawing board. I have started to TRY to be more aware when I'm making eating choices. I looked at my macro brfeak down and I'm getting way too many carbs and not enough protein! So I'm going to correct that. :-) Ate 1/2 a JR burrito and about 10 tortilla chips today. With sweet tea, lol Should have gotten water…

Way to go!!! You did an amazing job!

Excellent! I definitely think that ST is key to having a body you LOVE! Even if you lose weight with cardio only there is no guarantee you will like the new body. It may not have the definition we've (I've) grown to find enjoyable so I try to do SOMETHING most days. Even if it's just a few pushups or squats. I think it's…

These are great quotes. It's our job to keep motivating ourselves! I like to say " Work out early before your brain gets the chance to know what your body is doing"

On conference and have to keep my hair somewhat decent. Burned 400 calories doing about 45 mins of exercise. Not bad for traveling and being exhausted and having a long day ahead. Headed to bed. Aiming for 7.5 hours a night or so.

Hey everyone!! I'm doing so much traveling these days but I'm keeping up my activities. Trying to refocus on the eating. Going to do 60 mins on the bike when i got off the bike.

That is SUCH an awesome idea! I never really get on Pintrest. Maybe I should. I keep a calendar and colorful stickers... Each time I work out I get a colorful sticker. When I look at the calendar if it's fully covered I know I did a great job and stayed on task... if I see too many "blank" spaces, I know I need to get on…
