@strong_fit_ells - omg! The puppy is so cute! @jugar - That sounds like a fantastic day for you and Jasper, and that meal also sounds delicious! @MaddawgMadsen - Don’t be afraid to be selfish about yourself. No one else is going to dedicate as much time as you will to better yourself. I think about that a lot. It’s very…

@strong_fit_ells - Sometimes relationships and friendships run their course, especially if your goals no longer align, and that’s 100% okay. You’re not a horrible person for feeling the way you do about your coworker leaving. @jugar - I love your analogy! It’s very true. Now with PCOS, my calorie deficit has changed…

Happy Monday! @eggfreak - Yes! I am a fellow New Englander, and we got mostly snow. I did see the forecast is going to warm up this week so I’m sure most of it will be gone before next weekend. My dog absolutely loves the snow, so I’m a bit bummed for him that it’ll likely be gone soon. I took the day off from work, but I…

@ashleycarole86 12/31 - 1/6 Sun: 60min vinyasa yoga class + 3,981 steps Mon: 45min spin class + 7,099 steps Tue: 5,374 steps Wed: 45 min strength class + 5,097 steps Thu: 5,404 steps Fri: 1,819 steps 🫣 Sat: 60min yoga foundations class + 6,973 steps Last night the igloo dinner was a lot of fun! It also started lightly…

@micki48 - I totally get what you mean. Leaving/logging off from work and it’s so dark outside makes me just want to change into pjs and go to bed. I’ve been signing up for classes at 6pm and treating them like an extension of my day so that I don’t let my brain psych me out from getting my workout in. I hope you find…

PW: 195.8 CW: 196.4 I’ve been weighing myself every day following New Years and my scale went drastically up before coming down over the week, so I’m not going to bum myself out too much comparing to last Friday. I had quite a bit of charcuterie at the New Years Party I went to last week. 😆 No workout yesterday because I…

My group fitness class yesterday was great! We had the rowing machine as our form of cardio, which is one of my favorites. I am debating on going again after work today, or because my living room should be finished today, doing a workout tomorrow morning because I’ll have my workout space back in the sunroom. I’ve already…

@micki48 - wow! Those photos are so lovely; I can imagine in the other seasons it’s an even more scenic and gorgeous walk. @jugar - my chores one would be to reorganize a lot of the cabinets and finally unpack some rooms. We’ve been in the house for 11 months and still have quite a lot of things packed. I’m hoping that as…

@jugar - I’ve been thinking about my adventure list as well. This time of year is always challenging because I don’t ski/snowboard, which would be easy to add to the outdoor list. I’d have to say, for wintertime activities it would be walking while it’s light out, ice skating, tubing. For springtime and fall - longer…

Morning team! I’m starting my work week off with a cup of coffee sitting on my couch which is currently in my dining room. My living room between today and tomorrow is getting work done on the walls. My husband used a steamer and removed all of the layers of paint and wallpaper down to the original horse hair plaster, and…

Hi everyone! I’m Chelsey, I live in New England with my husband and our pup. I work in Human Resources, and this last quarter was a very stressful one with major projects, work trips, and the typical end-year processes. I did a much better job this year of managing my work calendar and drinking less at work events. My…

12/29 PW: 195.8 CW: 195.8 I’m honestly pleased with that because of Christmas and all of the chocolate I’ve had this week.

@jugar - Can I switch my weigh-in day to today? I’m going out for dinner tonight (BBQ) and fully expect tomorrow to look like a sodium bomb. PW - 196.4 CW - 195.8 Starting to get back down. I’m weighing myself every day and trying to track and pre-plan better, especially the weekends.

12/15: PW: 197 CW: 196.4 My little challenge that I created went well! I filled my plates with half fruit/vegetables, and then chose leaner proteins and grains/starches for the other quarters. I also worked out for the days I was at my work meeting which mentally made me feel good for the long meetings we had. New workout…

PW: 195.2 CW: 197 I haven’t logged this week and I had a holiday party and a college alumni party this week. I also think I’m about to start the TOM, so no more excuses. We are getting back on track. I have a three-day work trip next week and I’m making a game out of my nutrition, exercise, and hydration. I’m focusing on…

@jugar can I change my weigh in day to tomorrow for this week?

Welcome @petexj78 and @LalasCrazyWorld! @jugar - Sorry to hear you lost power, but that’s great you have a back-up with your outhouse! I can’t believe the amount of snow you have already (assuming the picture is recent). It was flurrying here this morning but nothing has quite stuck yet. I had my dietician appointment this…

PW 193 CW 193.8 Another busy week of travel, this time to NYC. I went out to dinner with a cousin and his husband the night I arrived, then the next day I had my work meeting and catered lunch. I ended up taking my leftovers in the train ride home which made for an easy dinner instead of train food. I also managed to get a…

@jugar - I will weigh in tomorrow to see if it’s any better. I really enjoyed some pie and delicious food yesterday for Thanksgiving.

PW: 194.8 CW: 193 Continuing to trend in the right direction again after quite a splurge a couple weeks ago. I managed to work out on Monday before my train to PA, and again on Tuesday morning prior to my work meeting. My travel salad that I took with me for the ride down was so delicious! It was roasted beets, pumpkin…

PW: 192 CW: 194.8 I am so sorry I missed last Friday’s weigh-in. Last week was a crazy week with work and travel. So to catch up, last Friday I had a wedding for two of my close friends in Ohio. We drove from our place in New England, which took us about 10-11 hours. We broke up the journey and left on Wednesday, and I…

PW: 191.4 CW: 192 From last Thursday - Monday, I had either eaten out or gotten a drink somewhere in celebration of my anniversary which was so much fun. I did my best to track using restaurant data in the app, so it was probably as accurate as I could have been. I’m just glad to see the number isn’t terribly higher. So…

Pretty much! You’re just watching the hosts live as they’re going through the discussion. The live shows usually have a lot more content and fun things (like games or animations) that the podcast won’t have.

PW: 191.6 CW: 191.4 Definitely trending in the right direction. I had my dietitian appointment this past week and we talked about knowing my hunger cues and some tips on how to volume eat. She suggested buying one of those party veggie platters to have precut veggies ready to snack on, as well as diet jello for when that…

@eggfreak @jugar - Thank you both! The pizza soup has been a knockout dish so far; we are definitely making it again. All my recipes this week are from Abbey Sharp. Work has started to pick up now for me so yesterday, I had to cancel my 6pm spin class due to some late calls with management and time sensitive items. I was…

PW: 193 CW: 191.6 COVID this time around wasn't as bad for me. I felt like I had a really bad cold for two days, but otherwise the recovery time was faster. It’s a shame because I was supposed to get my booster this week, but I had to cancel - they don’t advise that you get it after you’ve recently had COVID. I didn’t work…

@jugar - may I take a pass for tomorrow? I’ve been feeling under the weather and official tested positive for COVID this morning.

PW: 190 CW: 193 I am going to take a look at my week and make whatever adjustments I need to make to move forward. Exercise was good this week with 2 Caroline Girvan workouts, a 45-minute spin class, and a pilates workout.

Happy Wednesday! Just catching up on all the posts! @ashleycarole86 - That is so amazing to hear about the Peleton! I’ve been debating on getting a spin bike to have at home, but I just love the energy of a spin studio and someone else coming up with the playlist and work I have to do 😂 I have done a strength workout and a…

PW: 193.8 CW: 190.0 Happy Friday! I am so surprised and so pleased. This week I really committed to myself to stay within my calorie goal and be more mindful of my macros. I made recipes from Abbey’s Kitchen (she is on YouTube and a registered dietician) and I think that helped a lot because her meals were so balanced. I…
