Parents are here, love it! Pilates at 8:30am and had a healthy lunch then we went out for Italian for dinner (also my weekly treat meal). Food was actually just ok, disappointing. When my plate was still 90% full, I told myself if I stopped eating it then I could have ice cream. It worked! 340 cals of ice cream > 90% more…

HOP ON THE CROCKPOT BANDWAGON, LADIES! Laura and I will show you how it’s done! It’s so easy, so fast, and even if you are a lazy cook like me, you can make delicious, healthy meals in minutes! For real…I crock about 5 nights a week! I know some people are sketched about having the slow cooker on while they are gone all…

I guess that didn't make sense---I feel like I just got back on the wagon and so your threadstarter was apropos. I'm on the upswing and you're absolutely right about targets. I still think that picture was just for me ;)

Sherry, can you see me?!?! Valma, it is hard going in blind. That’s when you just do the best you can. And hope your day goes okay. Laura, nobody cares if you don’t eat the sandwich as long as you read the book! Hope it’s not too cold to run. So this morning was the first morning in a loooooong time when I woke up and felt…

Trying to just get one decent day together where I manage to eat near my calories. It was a mistake to go off the rails last Sat, it opened a door I want firmly CLOSED. Hopped on treadmill this am and went for 8 minute walk outside (it's FREEZING but I just wanted to move). Have hearty & yummy tortilla soup in crock.…

Just wanted to check in... have massive headache. Going to eye doc on Thurs, I think might be vision related.
-
^Perfect threadstarter. After a rough weekend, I’m feeling more like myself today. But hungrier! Slept through my workout but went for an 18-min stroll at work. Trying to figure out how I can stay focused 24/7.

2015, I’m ready for you. I weigh around 180 and THIS is the year that I reach my goal weight! My 2015 goals: A. Move from obese to overweight by April 1 B. Get to my goal weight of 150 by Q3 C. Create habits so that exercise and healthy eating are automatic So how am I going to get there?? Here are my January goals: 1. Eat…

Decided to eat my feelings today. I didn't find it enjoyable and had a headache from 6pm on, probably due to sodium. It's been a long time since I went off the rails intentionally for an entire day. It doesn't feel good. Ugh. Plus my lowest step count of the week. Why do I binge to make myself feel better when it always…

Perfect threadstarter! Back at work today after being off Tues-Thurs. Nice to have a long weekend in the middle of the week. I'm mulling my January goals. Yesterday I found out my husband’s grandmother died and I immediately started cooking him comfort food. Then I couldn’t sleep last night and ended up eating a chocolate…
-
Welcome, Ash! Laura, I’m so sorry that you keep fighting winter colds. Hope your rest days are helping you feel better. Sherry, thanks for keeping the posts going, sorry I was away from the group while traveling. I guffawed at the threadstarter on 12/24. Long story short: Last week: not healthy ---> unhappy with results…
-
Thank you for posting this, the thread is very interesting. I agree with a lot of the advice above. I also plan one meal a week (usually Friday night) where I can eat whatever I want. Notice that I don't call it a "cheat day" because it isn’t cheating, it’s in my plan. Also when I feel like I'm cheating, I tend to go off…
-
GREAT threadstarter today! Sorry to hear so many folks are under the (probably crappy) weather. Ugh! Take care of yourselves people, we are counting on you! I’m trying to keep faith alive over here. Have been refusing almost all junk food that profusely takes over the office in Dec. Yesterday I had a mini cupcake. Was…
-
I’m here and I’M NOT GIVING UP! DO YOU HEAR ME WORLD?? I’m fat. I eat junk food sometimes. I missed a bunch of workouts. But I WILL NOT GIVE UP! After a decent night’s sleep, I woke up feeling rested. I hopped on the bike for 20m and went to the grocery store this am on my way to work, tot in tow. Now we can eat at home…
-
I don't want to tabulate and quantify exactly how poorly I did last week so I'm going to dust self off and move on!
-
Insomnia Friday Night = No energy, no good decision-making on Saturday! Plus grouchy as Oscar... My hubs begged encouraged me to take a nap until I finally passed out for a few hours in the late afternoon. Yesterday I was the Mayor of Junk Food City. I did not feel good today. Made the big mistake of stepping on the scale…

Today was busy in a great way--and was in great mood to boot. No workouts, no steps & also not off the rails. Wore my pre-preg jeans to party since they still give me a thrill to wear :)
-
Hello hello. Sherry, I hope your plan works out and you can get some booty moving time. Laura, glad you’re on the mend and hope your headache goes away soon. Marla, when you said get your cards done, my first thought was that you were going to a psychic to get your tarot cards read! Obviously you meant Xmas cards… Okay,…

Here are the results of the first 8 days of Dec: 1. Eat something within 1 hour of waking up: 7/8 2. Move for at least 5 minutes every day: 6/8 3. Log all calories: 6/8 4. Be prepared by making breakfast/lunch/snacks the night before: 5/5 5. After a splurge, get back on track with next snack or meal: 2/2 6. Layout workout…

Got up before my alarm and got in some extra cardio. Trying to stay NEAR cals. SO BUSY at work. Hope all is well.
-
Sherry, do you ever foam roll your hip? And gold star Donna for being prepared with healthy choices! I posted this on my wall because I really need help... I've basically been the same weight for 6 months. It's true that you can't out-exercise a bad diet. While my body fat percentage has dropped a tad, I need to lose lbs.…

Hello, hello, hello! Been a VERY busy week at work and I’ve been trying to keep my fitness goals front and center. Even though it’s been loco, I’ve gotten in two workouts plus a couple of lunchtime walks. I don’t really have the time for lunchtime walks but I don’t have the steps not to ;) Hubs forgot to crock the chicken…
-
Val, I really like Marian Keyes books if you need a good read. Sherry, have you read Eat, Move, Sleep? Great book about making small changes that add up. Slept in again today, ugh. Had healthy meals and, sadly, barely got in any steps.
-
I really like having small, attainable goals. These habits are setting me up for success! Her are my December goals:* Eat something within 1 hour of waking up * Move for at least 5 minutes every day * Log all calories * Be prepared by making breakfast/lunch/snacks the night before * After a splurge, get back on track with…

Hello, hello! I'm alive! I spent a week out of town with family and was computer-free. I also liked not wearing makeup. It was challenging to be around really good food/out to great restaurants/etc the whole time but wonderful to see my family and kiddos playing together. I gained 2lbs (happy it wasn't more) and got back…
-
November ended and I'm afraid the last week was the least consistent. I was traveling and eating out and family fun and not great options, etc. But I did the best I could and am glad I had these habits getting started. December, I'm coming for you!
-
Great threadstarter! Sherry, looks like you’re on the upswing with calories and booty moving! Valma: Winner winner, sloppy joe dinner! Next time you’re making dinner for someone else, maybe you could make a double batch for your family too. Marla: You’ll be the first to get your Xmas cards out. Donna: Looks like you are…
