@iHUSTLE4MUSCLE :disappointed: I don't have my steps for yesterday (10/31) or today! I am so upset because yesterday was supposed to be monumental! I had 9,688 steps by like 2 pm because it was SOOOOOOOOO insane at work. Well, I transferred my patient to the ICU and from my department to theirs, I somehow lost my Fitbit.…

Steps for today: 11,973 DAILY GOALS: 10,000 steps per day: Yep! Finally got that run I have been needing in and the weather was actually a beautiful 70 degrees so I enjoyed every second of it. Although I am pretty sure that it will be back in the 90s tomorrow. 1/2 Gallon of water per day: Not even close. Left my water…

For me, I feel better. Wayyyyy more energy and motivation to do anything. I also believe that my mental health is greatly affected. When I feel better I feel like I'm a better mom, daughter, and nurse!

Steps for today: 8,193 DAILY GOALS: 10,000 steps per day: Not met but I am okay with that because I worked my toosh off today! 1/2 Gallon of water per day: Goal surpassed! Lower Soda Intake: Ehhh... I ended up caving and getting a 20 oz at lunch in addition to my 12 oz can I had before work. 32 oz is a lot better than what…

Steps for Today: 6,319 DAILY GOALS: 10,000 steps per day: Not met:disappointed: I had a big plan all day and even bought myself new headphones for my run only for it to be a torrential downpour by the time I got home. UGGH! 1/2 Gallon of water per day: Goal met! It took quite a bit just to get that down...my job at the…

Steps for Today: 7,676 DAILY GOALS: 10,000 steps per day: Not met :disappointed: I usually go for a walk even after a 13-hour shift at the hospital but I just had a bad feeling about it tonight so I followed my gut and did NOT go out walking in the dark alone lol. 1/2 Gallon of water per day: DOUBLE MET! (I drank a WHOLEEE…

I work for the next…

What a week it has been! I forgot to take my Vitamin D prescription 2 weeks in a row and I TOTALLY felt it. I mean going through emotions, feeling weak, feeling tired, and totally not myself. Still managed to work both jobs and maintain my school work (Got a 96% in my first BSN class so I am stoked!) but everything else…

Steps for today: 4100 It should be more than that but my Fitbit isn't cooperating I think my band has gotten too big. *sigh* Anywho I woke up at the crack of dawn and met a friend at the gym and got some fasting cardio and strength training in. Got a smoothie and went and worked at the surgery center where I sat on my…

Steps for October 11: 10,963 Today was kinda crazy at work but I got a LOT of water in...(well, a lot for me since I hardly ever drink water) And I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ridiculously close to my first goal of 50 pounds lost! Literally 6 ounces away! Hoping tomorrow I wake up and it is gone but also fully expecting to lose…

Don't feel bad about your weight...it is just a variable and can be adjusted. Your situation is only temporary. A friend recently told me something along these lines (and definitely WAY more eloquently) and it helped get me out of my funk. "Diet and Exercise is only 25% of the challenge. The other 75% is controlling your…

WHAT A DAY! Work was okay...we were actually kinda slow so I came home with only 7,500 steps. Not to fret! Put the kids to bed and hung out for a bit but by 945 I was out getting the rest of my steps in. I picked up an extra shift tomorrow (Today was an extra shift also) so I do not have any days off until the 19th. So I…

I am back!!!! I have had a lot going on the last couple of weeks and I thought I was getting past it but it has been one storm after another, unfortunately. However, I am not letting it hold me back anymore. I have spent the last couple of days getting back to running/working out and today I was officially back on track…

First and foremost, HELLO to all the newcomers! We have a great set of members here who are SOOOOOO supportive! Steps for 9/28: 8,563 Steps for 9/29: 3,713 (I drove 2 hours one way for my daughter's specialist appointment and then we were there for almost 4 hours so walking was not a huge possibility) I have a lot going on…

Steps: 11,316 Went for another run tonight. I am really enjoying the time to decompress and get out of my own head for the duration. I got some food prepped for the week; I kept it simple. I got a huge, beautiful salad kit at Sam's. I also got some of my favorite sushi. I baked a banana french toast dish and will be making…

Steps: 10,205. The funny part about this is I left my house at 7:03 pm at 2,400 steps. (I did a lot of paperwork for an upcoming class as part of my residency; like handwrote 7 full pages of research) so I was stationary for a HUGE part of the day. I got back home at 8:25 with 10, 050 steps! I really enjoyed the scenery…

I need you to come to my place and wear off some of that energy cleaning my apartment! 😂. You are an inspiration in the gym. When my shoulder heals and my leg is straightened out I am going to start at the gym. I might hire a trainer as it really seems to be working well for you. Keep up the awesome work! Haha, the house…

steps for 9/24: 8,106 steps for 9/25: 11,063 Today was AMAZING! Got up and did some fasting cardio before I met with my trainer and kicked some serious butt. Then met with the trainer for arm day and I honestly do not know how I am typing right now. :lol: Came home and had some brown rice spicy California roll and then got…

Sorry guys, life has been kicking my butt. 9/20: 7,730 9/21: 3,157 (desk job) 9/22: 6,146 9/23: 6,731 I have been feeling kinda off. Super emotional for no apparent reason but still pushing right along. Work has been kicking my butt and getting lots of exercise in there. So much so, that I come home and crash. Today I…

9/16: no steps (forgot my Fitbit on the charger #FAIL) 9/17: 6,787 steps Yesterday I worked my tail off for 14 hours and came home and pretty much cleaned up and went to bed. Today I was off but got up and cleaned out and washed the car, went grocery shopping, changed our doorknobs, took my kiddo to the specialist (not so…

❤ I had an extra protein shake, cottage cheese, and chicken breasts.

Steps for today: 7,451 Another amazing gym session today and now getting ready for work tomorrow. I got my girls room cleaned and rearranged all their furniture. Their AC went out so I sweat like crazy today! My trainer rescheduled me because I was late due to traffic which wasn't a big deal so I kicked my own butt on the…

I haven't sweat that much in a longggg time! Also meeting with my trainer in the am. Y'all have a good night and see y'all tomorrow!

Okay guys!!!! So excited to see everyone's results! I did see them but crashed before I could respond! Yesterday was hectic at work! I got home, sat down, and almost couldn't get back up! lol Anywho, my steps for 9/13 were 7,039. I got up early today and deep cleaned the house again (it's hard to work 2 days in a row and…
