@Gwenfromnyc that was funny! If only downward facing cake was a real pose haha! I agree yoga is great for stress, and a great choice for you right now.

Hi team! Happy to report that I am feeling better and ready to be back in the land of the living. The last few days all that has sounded appetizing is carbs.. oatmeal, bagels, toast, etc. so I was not expecting the scale to be friendly, but it was! Nice surprise.

Hi everyone, I have been super sick the last few days. No logging, no exercise, just trying to survive and take care of my family too. I will hopefully be better soon, but I’m just going to take the rest of the month off here, and plan to join you all again in March.

Hi team, Just didn’t want anyone to think I fell off the planet, I have just been super sick the last few days. No logging, no exercise, just trying to survive and take care of my family too. I will hopefully be back and better in a few days.

@HASWLRS Of course you don't regret it! Real life is a balance!! What did you make?[/quote] I made beef fajitas and brownies for dessert. Yum! The good thing I did was after we each had one serving, I immediately put the rest of the brownies in the freezer so they aren’t on the counter tempting me.

Monday, February 12 Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes (30 min Tabata 30 min yoga)

Motivation: the feeling when you can finally zip up a pair of jeans that you haven’t worn in a long time. I dream of fitting into my favorite pair again :)

Monday, February 12 Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes (30 min tabata, 30 min yoga) I like the question. Last week I did well getting exercise every day. What I can do better is food choices. I have been just barely making my calorie goal and still eating some sweets and junk. Meal planning would help! I am just not…

Sunday, Feb 11 Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes, 30 minutes strength, 30 min yoga I barely barely made the calories today. We went out for lunch at a delicious Mexican place. We were almost the only ones speaking English in there. That’s how you know it’s good ;)

February 10 Tracking - yes Calories- yes Exercise- yes (house cleaning - not my favorite kind of exercise at all, but it must be done!)

February 10 Tracking - yes Calories- yes Exercise- yes (house cleaning - me too!- not my favorite kind of exercise at all, but it must be done!) If any of you ladies are beginning strength training, or want to begin, please feel free to ask me if you have questions. I am actually a personal trainer (I’m not currently…

Feb 9th Tracking- yes Calories- yes Exercise- yes, 60 min cross training class. My son has two friends spending the night over here- so three 7 year old boys plus my other kids.. it has been madness. There should be some kind of exercise in MFP for this, haha!

February 8 Exercise-yes, nice long walk with the kids and dogs. Even though I just said our pace of walking isn’t very good exercise, some days it’s all I can make happen! Calories-yes Tracked-yes

February 8 Exercise-yes, nice long walk with the kids and dogs Calories-yes Tracked-yes

@Mariec1978 I personally don’t think Atkins is a very good or healthy long term solution. If you are looking for a research-based approach to weight loss, and you can handle a somewhat restricted diet, I would recommend Bright Line Eating by Susan Peirce Thompson. I have read the book and although I’m not currently…

Wednesday, Feb 7 Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes (60 min body pump) Yoga is amazing for so many reasons, and posture is definitely one!

Wednesday, Feb 7 Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes (60 min body pump)

Workout Wednesday: My top loves at this time in my life are: 1. yoga, mostly power flow/ vinyasa flow styles. I have recently started doing a lot of yoga at home, because it is so hard to get me and all my kids out the door to the gym. I am loving yogaglo.com 2. Body pump (barbell strength training) - great total body…

Feb 6 Exercise: yes (45 min yoga, 20 min walk with the kids) Calories: yes, just barely Tracked: yes @lemmyhead I did that exact same thing yesterday, where I accidentally deleted a long post. So annoying!!

Feb 6 Exercise: yes (45 min yoga, 20 min walk with the kids) Calories: yes, just barely Tracked: yes I would like to eventually get to a consistent daily intake of calories, not using my exercise calories. But I am still nursing a baby, and I get SO HUNGRY! I also have to be careful not to eat too few calories. Slow and…

@primekayprime I love your question!! I would tend to always just be thankful for my family and other people too. What I am thankful for in myself is a much harder question. I would say its my determination and self-searching, which leads me to continually grow and improve.

@Mariec1978 I totally agree! Sometimes I feel guilty about it, but I make exercise a priority! I have four little kids who need my attention pretty much all the time, but if I don’t get my exercise in, I get super cranky. So they have to come with me to the gym, or I work out at home and they can either do it with me or…

You know what’s so incredibly annoying? When you type out a super long post, and then press Done instead of Post Reply and it all gets deleted! So here goes again... this time I will post in a few sections. In case I delete it again I won’t want to go jump off a cliff haha Feb 4 mini challenge Exercise: yes (30 min tabata,…
