Hi everyone. Sounds like things are going fairly well. I was so happy to get back to the gym last week. My thighs weren't quite as happy though lol. Remembering to log my food has taken some getting used to again. So far I have been doing okay. I really hope to start losing again as I get more mindful of my food and…

Hi guys long time no see. Lots of big changes in my life over the last few months. The biggest and best is Hubby no longer works in alaska. Last June when he was home after much discussing we decided to start a general contracting company with the two of us and my son. His background is all construction so it was a no…

Hi everybody. Had something weird going on with my left arm last couple of days. Wednesday morning the joints in my fingers hurt when I woke up and over the course of the morning the pain progressed to my wrist elbow and shoulder. It hurt pretty bad on wednesday and thursday but is now subsiding. N idea what was the cause…

Just wanted to say a quick hello and Happy Mom's Day to all our wonderful mothers. I spent a fun day with my kids and didn't worry at all about what I ate. I am sure I went over but just because of the choices not the quantity. We went out to an early brunch and then my parents joined us in going out for an early dinner.…

Good morning all. I love it Tom. Garlic is by far one of my favorite things in the world. So I am feeling pretty good. The darn scale continues to hate me as usual but all this working out is defenitley paying off. I am starting to get some defenite curves in the waistline and I noticed my arm are starting to tone up. The…

Hi everyone. Things continue to truck right along here in the Pacific Northwest. My exercising has been pretty good for last few weeks but food was definitely off the last couple days. Back under control today though. I was supposed to meet with the trainer today since I have a birthday party to go to tomorrow. It didn't…

Good morning all. Sorry its been so long since I checked in. I do read the thread every day but have been super focused on the family for the last month or so. Well hubbys back to work now for a couple months and its back to being able to focus mainly on me. My weight loss has started to pick back up. I lost that pesky 10…

Made the gyros and they were amazing. Found a recipie for a greek spice blend that made the meat so good. And I logged out under calories for the day. YAY

Okay so I know everything I am supposed to do for this whole weight loss thing. I am killling it on the exercise but dying on the food. My hubby and I have been going through some stuff. Nothing we wont get worked out but it is kicking up old binging habits. I start every day with the best of intentions but if one little…

Hello all. So my plans for today were changed but I improvised. I was supposed to go to the gym and do my strength circuit but had to go to my daughters over by seattle. So I made sure to get up early and took the dogs for a long walk and then I take the ferry to her side of the sound and it is a 35 min ride so I spent…

Okay now I am frustrated with myself. I got home from zumba, took a shower and headed to the store for big grocery shopping and forgot to put my fitbit on. Goodness only knows how many steps didnt get recorded. With that being said I have crazy extra calories I will never use all of from zumba but I sure would have liked…

Good morning all. Just got home from the gym. Did some arm workouts and then a circuit of the cardio machines that the trainer suggested. Start with 5 min on the treadmill, then 5 on the arc trainer, then 5 on the recumbent bike and then end on the treadmill for at least 5 more or more if I want. The arc trainer is a new…

Good morning everyone. Well its march 1st and time to get back to work :) I went to the gym this morning and went to the zumba class my trainer teaches. It was fun and I kept up fairly well. Defenitley gave me a frame of reference. I did zumba gold when I was first starting at the y and the class was really hard on me.…

Good morning all. Well I am on the road to recovery. Still got a cough but not near as bad. Otherwise things are just running along. Husband is home but still has to work everyday at shipyard getting their new boat ready that was supposed to be done last month. Kinda sucks cause this is supposed to be his downtime from…

Hi everyone. Just popping in real quick. Sorry I havent been very active this week. My cold turned into full fledged bronchitis so doing much of anything just sends me into coughing fits. I have been spending a lot of time lying down with my head over a vaporizer. Today was the first day I have left the house and just a…

@Tom looks like a really fun day

Good morning all. Not much going on around here. We have stomach flu marching its way through the inhabitants. My turn came last night. Upside it got me out of driving don to the airport as he is on his way to alaska and back to work. I am swapping out boys as hubby will be home at the end of the week. I was doing well…

@Holly It is good to hear from you. I am sorry things have been so hard for you. It is defenitley time for some good things to come into your life. You fully deserve it. I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed fr your new job. Take care and just do the best you can. We are all here for you. As for me I am moving very…

Good morning all. The meeting with the new trainer went very well. Not only is she friendly and easy to get along with but 5 years ago she weighed over 300 pounds. So she knows exactly the journey I am on. I have 11 sessions that I have already paid for. So we will do those and then if I want I will buy some more. I dont…

Good morning everyone. Lets see Wednesday wish that I click with the new trainer today. I still have 12 sessions I payed for and after taking a bit more then a month off due to car issues while hubby was working at shipyard I went back to get going again and found out my trainer was no longer there and no one had bothered…

Good morning everyone. I love Februarys challenge since it speaks to something I have been trying to get better anyway. The trainer wanted me at 125 grams of protien a day which I have never reached but would like to really consistently hit 100. Yesterday was a big bust calorie wise with going out to dinner for my sons 22…

Hi everyone. Sounds like things are trucking along fairly well for most everyone. I started working with my dad this week. I am his new putty girl. He is a finish carpenter and someone has to go behind after he installs the trim and fill in all the nail holes with wood putty. I am really enjoying it so far. Everyone was…

Good morning all. Well finally got a new computer. Itis a wonderful thing. I dont know why but I get so much more done during the day if I can start my day with my normal routine which is ice water news and checking everything online. Otherwise life is ticking along like normal. I did determine that Home health care might…

Good morning all. I just wanted to let you all know I am here and cheering you all on. As of this morning I am back down to what I am calling my pre hubby weight. Between him being home for three months, the holidays, and a lack of motivation I was bouncing up and down with the same 10 pounds. I might not post much fir…

Good morning everyone. It looks like we are all setting some nice consistent goals for the year. I am going to weigh in on Monday and record whatever it says. I have bouncing up and down 5-8 pounds for a couple months with my inconsistancys. My immediate goals are to get back to the consistent logging I was doing the first…

Good morning everyone and a belated Merry Christmas to you all. I had a very nice holiday with my family. We all gathered at my moms for food presents and fun. The job is going well though at the moment I only have one client one day a week because my husband needs the truck to get to Seattle for work. Its the push time to…

Hello and Merry Christmas everyone. Life is going good here in the northwest. The food and exercise is all over the place but the family is happy and healthy so I will take it. I am all ready for the holidays and am now waiting for my daughter. We are meeting to get our nails done. The new job is going well. I only have…

Hi Robin welcome back. Its great to "see" you again :)

Good morning everyone. I am happy to hear you all had a good thanksgiving and congrats to our runners with your turkey trots. Who knows maybe next year you will be hearing about mine :). I had a nice holiday with my family. Then rather then black friday shopping a group of 10 of us went up into the olympics and went…
