Sounds like an awesome get away! Welcome back!!

So sorry about the loss of your mother. That would cause me to gain all my weight back.

Well I weighed in at 153 this morning. So I'm the same from last week. Yesterday I went to Planet Fitness with my mom and did the 30 minute circuit (it really kicked my *kitten*) and then 10 minutes on the eliptical and 1 mile walk while at work. I'm kicking my *kitten* into gear. Today I commit to eating under my calorie…

Well my goals for today are to go to the grocery store after work today and get some healthy food for lunches and PLAN them out. I also am going to walk 1 mile during work and plan a workout routine to get back into (maybe sign up for a gym?)

My goal is to lose 20 pounds by the end of this year (which if I get my act together, I think is possible!). My other goal is to start training by the end of this year for our local triathlon (it's a 6 mile canoe, 5.5 mile run, and an 18 mile bike race in that order).

My ex-boyfriend told me that I never was motivated to loose weight and that I didn't even try but complained. It was true...so I took that and used it to my advantage. 1 year later he textes me and says how great I am doing with my weight loss and how good I look. **Yupp buddy, your missing this girl!!**

I had a friend that is A-lot bigger than me say stuff like "Well how many calories is in that cookie that your eating?" or any type of food. And then she tries to tell me she's counting calories ALL the time and she doesn't...she says she counting it in her head. I don't even bother telling her that it is more than just…

I have a co-worker that I've been doing walking lunges and the squats challenge with during lunch (as well as walking). I also can…

I get a thirty minute lunch break and 2-15 minute breaks at work. Lately my co-worker and I started the squat challenge, so during lunch break we do our squats and 30 walking lunges and then we walk. This helps me just to stay active. I also try to walk around for 5 minutes at least every hour, so I'm not just sitting…

Well yesterday was horrible and this week I'm stressing out because I'm hosting this bridal shower on Saturday (with hardly any help...ekk). So...here are my commitments today! July 16th Commitment: -Drink 10 glasses of water -Stay within my 1,000 calorie deficit -30 Day Shred (level 1) workout after work -75 Squats and 30…

I'm doing the squat challenge: Here is a link to the PDF file that you can do (http://livestronglivelean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/30-DAY-SQUAT-CHALLENGE.pdf) -Lunges (30 walking lunges) -Crunches -push ups (wall, counter, modified push up, real push ups) -mountain climbers -planks (3 reps of 20 seconds) -Calf Raises…

Well I am not the best to take advice from for this, since I hardly lost any during the challange and I've gained the last two weeks too. But I find that doing something every other day has helped me keep motivated and logging religiously EVERY day, except for 1 day (Sunday). I think sometimes you need a break from it and…

I am at 245....I think I gained :( But I have been working out more and doing the 30 day shred, so maybe I'm gaining muscle? I don't know!

Well to this date, I've lost 60 pounds! :) That is really exciting. The first 15 were lost in an unhealthy way (I couldn't get myself to eat after my break up with my then boyfriend) and then rest is history! I started working out some and just started eating healthier. This time last year, I wasn't able to walk a 5k, so…

I am at 245.0. I gained two pounds, Urgh. It's been a horrible week. Goodies from my little niece being born, eating out because I forgot to get to the grocery store (because I was too busy cuddeling with my newest niece), fourth of july, and the 1 year anniversary of my ex and I breaking up. Urgh...Eating my feelings is…
