  • At my last weigh in Monday I was at 167.7. I am managing to lose even though I am totally not on track or making an effort what so ever. I would love to be at my goal weight by Christmas which means another 45 lbs. Guess that means I need to get it together. I will do my weigh and measure on the 1st.
  • You know I'm in! I look forward to the 100 days and seeing how close I can get to my goal weight. I have 45 lbs to get there.
  • OMG! Back to the world of technology. Not having Internet for three days almost killed me. lol Now that actually means I have to start logging and get back on track again.
  • Still don't have internet at the new house, so I have to come back and forth to check email. Makes it hard to log. I did get out for my first run from that neighborhood and it felt nice. A short one for sure. I am going to have to log a bunch and find some of the mileages I really like. Scale at the old house so I didn't…
  • Calories have been on point but haven't ran or workout since the half last weekend. Today is moving day and that will require some cardio for sure. Right now I am trying to get organized and make a list of jobs that four children can do to "help" without being in the way of heavy lifting. I have to get my internet moved…
  • Today is the start of many ridiculous days in a row. Major stress and sure to be some arguing with my hubby. Busy days are actually great for me calorie wise because I don't have time to overeat. lol Everyone have a great day. :)
  • Good morning everyone! Excited to get out and just enjoy a fab run in the sunshine with my daughter. I always time because I need to in order to log, but I have no time or distance needs. Today I run to run. Ahhhh Yes, I am one of those crazy runners that loves it. Been just under maintenance with my food which isn't good…
  • Happy to see you ladies! This weight loss/healthy lifestyle adventure is a rolling experience, but I'm glad to have you ladies with me. Life has been pretty stressful here too and a lack of sleep is definitely a negative for me too. I'm on the West Coast too and always feel like the last to check in. lol Have an amazing…
  • Where is everyone?! Shaved 20 minutes off my previous half marathon time. I am so proud of myself and hope my weigh in tomorrow gives me something even though yesterday was a carb up and free for all day.
  • Happy Saturday! Did a spot check this morning even though we don't weigh in until Monday and am actually losing. I was surprised to see that since I haven't been having big loss days with my calorie target and am in a couple of rest days before the race tomorrow. Going to kind let myself eat what I want this weekend. Today…
  • Yesterday was over my calorie target, but logged everything even the bad stuff which is good. This morning my first breakfast was unsatisfactory so eating something small and creates a larger breakfast than normal. I'll just skip my morning snack. Today and tomorrow are rest days to prep for the race. Tomorrow is supposed…
  • Well yesterday was a bit of a bust. Training plan called for a 2 miler which I didn't even do and it wouldn't have counted much for burn anyway. Didn't even log the rest of my day so probably ended up a maintenance day. I need a couple of big weeks to make up for my lack of loss last week. Getting ready to head out for my…
  • Yesterday was a pretty good day and today is off to a great start. I am supposed to do a 2 miler as my last run before the race. Did a mid-week weigh in this morning to make sure I was on track. It showed a tiny bit up but I'm not worried about that. It also showed me I need to do about 1.5 lbs before Monday. Well off to a…
  • Yesterday was another day where I didn't mind my calories, ate all day, didn't log it all and didn't run or workout. *sigh* Going to try to get back on track today.
  • I didn't bother being accountable and let yesterday be a spike day the day before a weigh in. Never a good idea. A little worried going into the race week. Not about food, but about whether or not I'm prepared. Let's have a good day everyone!
  • Well it was an interesting week and apparently for that I get to lose nothing. :( This is the week of the half marathon and today we find out if we're moving, I think the lack of loss is mostly from letting yesterday be a spike day with the picnic I attended which is never good the day before a weigh in. Didn't do my long…
  • Yesterday was a weird food day. Over my target calories but within my maintenance calories. Need to do my long run today (the last one before the race). There's also a picnic to attend today and my BIL is coming over to transfer everything to my new computer, so still trying to figure out where to sneak it in. Of course,…
  • Good morning! I have major tooth pain which is causing a ridiculous sinus headache and I already get sinus headaches! Supposed to do 3 miles at pace today, but not sure where it's going to fit in. Hubby is on his way out to a car show then I have a PC show at a local fair tonight. Tomorrow is my distance run, then a car…
  • Good Morning! At least to any U.S. West Coasters (if they're in here). Today is a rest day in my training plan and because the race is next Sunday I am sticking to it. So excited to have a much needed date with my dear friend. It's been a long week and I get to go see a friend, buy a new toy and have a little ice cream.…
  • Never did get back out there tonight. Up against a work deadline for tomorrow. Kept my calories low though and finding I am not "hungry" all the time. The heat actually curbs my hunger too, so that helps. I so want to do a quick weight peek, but I also want to wait until Monday to see a fab number. I feel amazing since I…
  • Run and workout is going to be delayed again today because hubby has an appointment. Going to get in my clothes and be ready to head out when he gets back. Only a 40 minute tempo today, so about 5-5.5 miles. The race is getting so close. There's been some stress this week with work and personal, but I'm not doing too bad.…

  • Today wasn't bad. Ended the day with a ridiculous overload Szechuan takeout calorie bomb dinner and I feel like **** for it. Still ended up a maintenance day which is better than a gain day because I never did get my run or workout in. Does yelling at your kids count as a workout? lol Better day tomorrow!
  • Mid-Morning here on the west coast U.S.! Suppose to be mid-90's today and my run/workout is post-poned because of morning appointments. Good thing it's only 3 miles! Lots of personal stress going on, but going to stay in my positive groove. I have been making my calorie target this week and am really proud of that. Though…

  • Love all the positive days out there! I had a great one too. Was worried about stress eating earlier, but I worked through it. I am even at the bottom end of my calories and with my run and workout done I have a good gap for loss. Overall, a fabulous day! Working at home is really tough for me food wise, but my hubby being…
  • I am hurtin' from yesterday's weights! lol That's when you know it worked. The half marathon is less than two weeks away I can't believe it's finally here. Today is hill repeats and Bootcamp or weights. I am eating a cinnamon roll for breakfast, but without the icing and within my calories. Lots to do for work today and…

  • Excited about this group. I'll weigh and measure tomorrow. I do it at the same time of day every time and want to keep it accurate.
  • WAHM of four: 6, 4, 3, 1. I run two businesses from my living room/chaos room. lol Decided I would stay home when I was pregnant with our first. I think SAHM's are awesome and WAHM's are still a little misunderstood. I get asked to babysit a lot. Not going to happen! lol As an at home mom I have a tougher time with food.…
  • I am a work-at-home mom of 4 (1, 3, 4, 6) and the snack all day problem is exactly what I deal with too. I am a runner and my hubby is an at-home parent as well. So that is a great thing for my workouts.
