I just reinstated my BOD so I can start doing things at home since my gym is closed. I've always struggled working out at home (squirrel moments with household chores). Could use the motivation to keep up with it.

Not eating enough calories destroy your metabolism. It's like telling your body that you're starving. ... Not eating enough calories will also force the body to cannibalize muscle and hold on to fat. The course I took was through expert rating.

Everyone tells us that 1200 is the goal, honestly (just finished a nutrition course) 1200 is roughly what the body needs to just function daily. This can cause the body to hold onto the fat for later energy use when we do exercise. Also, we tend to not eat "properly". We restrict a lot of what our bodies need... healthy…

To everyone, feel free to add me. Diary is open. If you go back a year ago, you will find it keto-based. I started adding carbs back in this year after I hit my first weight goal and returned to the gym daily. I love to cook, so always trying new recipes. I eat between 1200 and 2000 calories, depending on my activities for…

Personally I never have a "Cheat Day". I enjoy the foods I like, while the majority of what I eat is highly healthy, I still enjoy pizza, tacos, etc... a "cheat meal" if you will, but dont think of it as a cheat. Work it into you calories / macros / lifestyle. Nothing is off limits as long as you don't lose control.

Feel free to add me. I log daily and will always comment and check in when needed.

Feel free to add. I've been low carb/keto since March. (Though I took June off due to softball travel & then September just the weekends) I've been struggling a little here and there this past month and could use some extra strength in numbers.

I prefer working out alone. I personally feel that if there's more than 1 other person that I am the gym with, there's too much lag time between sets and I start to lose motivation.

I have finally gotten back to the gym this past week. 4x total :smiley: just been a little basic with some light jogging for a warm up x15 min then some body weight strengthening (lunges, squats, planks, Russian twists) and hip flexor movements because I have been battling hip & back pain for a few years and figured it's…

Mom chores.... anyone wanna give me the day off and do my laundry and grocery shopping?!

Lacking in common sense and decency. - holding to door for someone else - or in my house, walking past something 20x expecting someone else to put it away... IE mom.

Was it one of those nights?

Just walked in the door from work to be told I have to take the kids to events i forgot about. Looms like either dinner on the run, or no dinner at all.

I've been kinda bad the past two days. Candy corn and ice cream. Original starting weight - 180 September ending weight - sept 28- 148 October starting weight - 148 October goal - lose 10 lbs Ultimate goal- 135 Oct 13 - 144.4 Oct 20 - 142.6

About few years ago Boy 2 Men were going to performing by in the New Years Parade. My daughter thought they were a new group. When I googled for a song, the first website to pop up was Oldies.com. Really... oldies.com.... I am NOT old yet. I refuse to accept it.

Ugh... mine needs done horribly.

My mother in law who can't shut up when your watching a movie. Questions every two minutes. "Just shut the *kitten* up and watch it or leave!"

Small state of Delaware.

You got this!

You and me both! Plus not shutting the kitchen cabinet. I come home every day from work to every cabinet wide open. WHY?

I just bought some sweet chili sauce ... plan on making Korean beef lettuce wraps later this week.

Enjoying my cup of coffee, hoping this headache goes away. :(
