Am I the only one who had a super bowl party? Haha! well pass day #1 for me. Got so busy cooking and cleaning, then eating and talking with friends that I did not log. Kinda early in the month for a pass day but I am being honest, and hoping I can keep it together better the rest of the month!

Pretty awesome, you guys who stayed under your calories on super bowl Sunday! I unfortunately did not. At least I don’t think so. I got so busy cooking and cleaning then eating and talking (hosted a party at our house) that I just can’t go back and log now. Oh well! @HASWLRS we will try again tomorrow!

Exercise: yes- 45 min yoga and 30 min or so walking Calories: yes Tracked: yes

Hello team! My name is Holly. I’m a mother of four kids aged 4 months to 7 years old.

I have had a few hard days, with my husband traveling so I have all four kids to take care of alone, (not that I am complaining!.... just making excuses I guess). I haven’t been logging well at all, and haven’t been making the best food choices. I have been exercising, haven’t missed a day of exercise the whole month…

I have had a few hard days, with my husband traveling so I have all four kids to take care of alone, (not that I am complaining!.... just making excuses I guess) It’s just that by the time I get everyone bathed, teeth brushed, stories read, and tucked in for the night I haven’t had the energy to go back and post and I…

I can still be in the challenge as long as I don’t need any more pass days right? I love this challenge but it is tough! A good Saturday for me is a family day. breakfast all together and something active. Tonight I got to take my 5 year old shopping, just the two of us, and it was so fun. She tried on so many clothes :)

Pass day #3 Dang! I did some yoga and tracked, but I went over calories.

Username- holly2e Weigh in Week- Week 3 Weigh in day- Thursday Previous weight 142.1 Current weight- 141.1 One pound a week is good I guess! Feels like slow going but I know it’s good.

Exercise: Yes, 60 min body pump Calories: yes Tracked: yes Would have been hard to stay under my calories today if not for this challenge. Had only one bite of dessert instead of a whole bowl or two like I probably would have otherwise. Thank you!

@Coheednkimbria It can be exhausting for sure! A marathon of crazy is exactly what I feel like today. But I bet twins might be harder in some ways. Keep it up girl!

Exercise: yes (walking and cleaning) Calories: yes Tracked: yes NSV: clothes fitting better, fitting back into some smaller clothes, more endurance, enjoying the taste of healthier foods. I loved reading all of yours too!

Exercise: yes (25 min Tabata, 20 min yoga, at least 30 min walk while carrying baby) Calories: yes, just under Tracked: yes (learned that microwave popcorn is not too good for me! Should have known that!)
