Just checking in; yesterday was terrible. My "Friday the 13th" came a day early... No time to chat this morning, but I hope everyone has a great weekend. I know I am REALLY looking forward to it!!

Lia, goat yoga would be great! They ran a goat yoga class here last year; I only heard about it after the fact. It would be cute, but I'm not sure I'd actually get any yoga done. I'd be too busy playing.... I usually do yoga at home. I have a couple of videos and a book. I have taken 2 different classes. One I loved and…

My top 5 must haves: mushrooms, green onions, rice, tomatoes, garlic mmmm..... Still nothing on the old house yet. Grrrr. Mihani, I am happy to say that I am still on the treadmill every day. Gonna be time to add the sprints in soon, maybe next week. I'm very stiff after sitting for awhile, so I think I'm going to have to…

Ugh, I accidentally closed my browser window in the middle of a reply. :neutral: NOT typing it all again. Sorry... :tongue: What can I say. It's Monday...

Hahahahahaha im so dumb. I didn’t realize I was in the wrong thread for DAYS!!!

Down again this morning- woo hoo!! I love it when a plan comes together!! It reinforces all my hard work of meal prep and getting on the treadmill even when I don’t feel like it... Gotta go clean my kitchen now. Left it in kind of a mess last night...
-
Great job, Mihani!! Those slip days sound pretty darn good, I’d be amazed if I could be that good!! Today is the first day of week 2. Week 1 results: 3.8 lbs I’m so sorry about your chickens, Carla. So so sad. Poor Ruby too. Tonight is a cooking night. OSG Red Lentil and Kale soup, sweet & sour “meatballs”, lemon pie date…
-
Mihani, when I make chia seed pudding, I put it in a mason jar and shake it all together. And I continue to shake it a few more times for about a half hour. And then anytime I open the fridge for anything. I don’t like the clumps at all.... I got groceries tonight, and I was all out of suppers so I cooked rice and mixed it…
-
Mihani , at least the crackers are gone! I have been avoiding my trigger foods like the plague. It’s gonna be a long time before I can have them in the house. I was shocked and delighted that I’m down more than a pound again today - bringing my loss for the week to 3 lbs. I was even over full yesterday, wondering if I had…
-
C&P good for you!! I've walked plenty of 5km, 10km and I even walked a half marathon when I was 26 weeks pregnant with my son. I wish I would have kept it up over the years... I am down 2 lbs this week and I'm seriously eating nonstop. The snacks are so helpful to me; maybe in a few weeks I won't need them, but right now…

Add pepper, lemon juice and salt &…

We were sidetracked last night with errands, so I didn't get to make the sushi. But I will make it tonight, and I'm really looking forward to it. I just do the typical roll - filled with carrots, cucumber, wasabi, avocado and vegan mayonnaise. Yummy!! Someone came to look at the old house last night, so we have our hopes…
-
I'm surprised you're not MORE tired and cranky with all the hours you put in!! Did you manage to get rid of some of your workload yesterday like you'd hoped? You need to toss everything you can at this new guy; you deserve to have a break!!! My treadmill workout today was a good one; my tv got me completely distracted and…
-
nice loss, Carla - good job!!! :smiley:
-
13.8 lbs is awesome! Way to go! You're being consistent, and that's making a difference! Wish I could say the same. In a few weeks I hope I can be saying the same thing as you! I have 14 weeks before my summer vacation. I NEED to make some changes before then so I can fit into my summer clothes. 'Cuz right now that's…
-
Mmmm that sushi bowl looks wonderful! Where's the recipe??? :smiley:

So I have had a workout every single day since last Tuesday. But 2 of those days were not on the treadmill; they were just in the pool. Monday in the pool really kicked my butt. When I got there, the medium lane had too many people in it for my liking, and the fast lane had only 1man. Clearly a speed swimmer, but I could…
-
I should have said that your speed will vary and it's all about how long your legs are. Your pace will definitely not be the same as what I was discussing, because that is more of a jog for you. So just get your legs moving nice & quick without having to get into a jog. You'll want to work up a sweat, so you need to push…

Happy Friday! I'm 4 for 4 this week on the treadmill. Yay me! 3.8 mph was challenging. Makes me nervous about going to 4.0 so soon... Guess I'll find out in 2 more days... I am pretty sure I have broken toes because I can feel it at the beginning of each day's workout. They've been that way for years now, so I'm not sure…
-
C&P, you don't need to wait for the 10 lbs. Just start now walking at a brisk pace. Fast enough and it'll still make you sweat and burn calories!! That's exactly what I'm trying to do because I'm so far out of shape that there's no way I could just start running right now. Do that for a few weeks and then the jogging will…
-
Well it certainly works, but it also SUCKS to have to declutter and pack and move all at the same time!!! Also, I wasn't very good at the declutter part. I still have too much stuff. So I'm going to have to go on another Varage Sale selling spree... (which is ok, because my hubby said I can use the money I get to buy…
-
I'm 2 for 2 on the treadmill. Yay me! :smiley: I moved the speed up one notch. Will keep moving it up one tenth per day until I'm at 4mph by the weekend. Then I'll leave it there for the second week before I add sprints. I have to admit, it feels REALLY good to be up in the morning and to have already finished my workout…
-
Well I just can't keep up with the threads at all. Still loving the new job, which is VERY busy. Still haven't unpacked all the boxes yet. Still haven't sold the old house. Still have a ton of stuff over there that we'll have to find room for at the new house. What a gong show... RunningMaven, I have done marathons, half…

I made a super easy dinner last night and it was delicious. I cooked some garlic couscous and put it as the base to my bowl. Then I added a "herbed garlic" spice to a bowl of chopped celery, tomatoes and red onion. Tossed it and then threw it on top of the couscous. it was sooooo tasty! I'm going to do the same thing…
-
Cute title for the thread. :smiley: I'm looking forward to the weekend. I have 2 nights of relaxation ahead of me. Tonight is a night in with knitting and Netflix. Yay! Then tomorrow, my DH and DS are going to cubs camp at noon, so it's just me & the DD all afternoon, all night and then until about 11am on Sunday. YAY!!!…

Gorgeous pictures; what a great walk! The Forks Over Knives magazine was actually pretty good. Some good information, and a TON of recipes that looked delicious. I'm definitely going to try them. And I'm thinking I might subscribe to the magazine, too. The swim sucked; there must have been 20 people in 3 lanes. I got…
-
Carla, how is it going? Did you go for your follow-up yet? I just got the 2nd ever issue of Forks over Knives magazine yesterday and I just read through it cover to cover on my lunch break. I know I need to get my butt in gear too... I am going to try some of the recipes in the magazine later this week, but in the meantime…
-
OK, I'm just popping in to say hi and I haven't forgotten you. Donna, I love the picture of the dog just chill after his big run. Not pooped, just relaxed. :smiley: Work was bananas at the new job, but I just got a HUGE project taken off my shoulders because frankly, it was too big for just me. It needs a team... So that's…
-
Thanks. I hit the pantry hard when I got home yesterday, though. I had a brutal headache, and I was starved. I think I need to just start making my own supper as soon as I walk in the door instead of waiting until the whole family eats. At least for the first week or so... My headache came on early and was so bad it hurt…
-
Carla! I missed reading that you were without power - THAT SUCKS!! Glad you made it through. Everything back to normal?? As for me, the deal fell through, she decided to walk. So now we are back at square one selling our old house. We're going to have another open house this weekend and hope for the best... Back to work…
