6/14 - didn't finish my water, no workout, fitbit claims I took 5,000 steps (skeptical...), not green

Week two discussion is open! Sorry I'm late

Hey guys! I missed ya'll, but technology has not been my friend :( I got a new tracker (fitbit) which I am still trying to figure out. But my internet went out. Honestly I just didn't feel like trying to check in from my tiny phone screen. let's see... 6/12th - water done, no workout, GREEN! I got my tracker at lunch so…

Bacon makes everything better :wink:

I had stopped eating waffles for a while trying to cut carbs or whatevertheheck. Then I realized, they're only 120 calories. What was I thinking? o_O

I saw this article the other day. #RealTalk #truth

Sweating and being out of breath trying to keep up with a rambunctious three-year-old boy. And not being able to button my work pants. #NoBueno

Small changes can get you going. Even trying a new recipe or wearing a pedometer could be enough to motivate your way out of a rut. My profile pic keeps me motivated. I keep it on my desk and it's also my facebook profile photo. I lost 30 pounds in 2013 and gained it all back in 2014. My goal is to get back to the after…

Good for you! You should see my sad little moderated jacks lol It's a process...

Hey ya'll! I'm still without a tracker, so no step count. I spent the evening at the park after my son's t-ball practice but I won't count that as a workout. He drank from my water bottle so I didn't finish my water. I'm not trying to catch his cooties again lol I ended the day green. The day was not a total bust. Plus, a…

@Suede242 That salad sounds AWESOME! What is it with this stupid trackers though! Sheesh! lol @downongreenacres I ended up freezing most of my bread pudding so I won't be tempted. But the leftover mac n cheese is probably going in the trash. My normal recipe works out to 300+ calories per serving *yikes* I used veggie…

Yes!!! That was the goal. I really didn't feel like doing anything at all.

Here's a three mile walk I do on YouTube. It's 38 minutes. She also has a one mile walk that takes 13 minutes. Check them out if you ever need a quick workout. https://youtu.be/T1SuGWI2Xpg

Day 4 check-in! My tracker died :( Anyhoo, got my water and workout in. Probably nowhere near 10,000 steps but I walked two miles. I had to guesstimate my calories burned but I'm still meal planning so I can say I was green today. Now I'm off to Best Buy to replace my tracker. Toodles!

I'm feeling MUCH better today @JimCrackinDandy Thanks!!!

Day 3 check-in I walked at lunch so that will count as my workout. No water, only half my steps. But GREEN by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin lol No bread pudding :neutral: I may have to freeze it for another time since hubby made a big ole pan of it. I drove through two separate work zones to get home which threw off my…

I had to float to a different center today. I was greeted by chocolate cupcakes in the breakroom. I didn't eat one though. I'm trying to figure out if I can have bread pudding when I get home. Probably not lol

That is so true. I've spent a lot of time "wishing" the pounds away. That method does NOT work lol

I decided not to call off from work today so here's the meal prep I was all excited about :smile: Breakfast - oatmeal and a banana AM Snack - greek yogurt and strawberries (didn't like the yogurt) Lunch - shrimp stir fry PM Snack - turkey and provalone on wheat Dinner - Kale salad and trout fillet I'm trying to eat 300…

Day 2 check-in Almost finished my water. Logged two workouts. 1,000 steps left to go. I haven't logged dinner yet, but probably not green. Last kid free night. We're having lamb steak, mac n cheese, cabbage and bread pudding for dessert. I feel crummy @JimCrackinDandy but it's all good. I tapped out halfway through my…

Welcome Suede242! Your goals sounds awesome. Good luck!

Thanks! I think my son gave me the bubonic plague LOL Meanwhile all he has is a runny nose. I might stay home from work tomorrow to recover.

My son is 3 years old... Gotta start somewhere lol

I've been feeling sick since Friday so I finally went back and logged my entire weekend. Not too bad... I definitely have to do the shopping today though. I normally fall off if I don't prep for lunch.

Hey guys! I've been doing laundry ALL DAY. I know it's early, but I haven't done much in the way of tracking anything and I wanted to check in before I forget. I got my water in. No workout today. 2340 steps as of 3:21 pm? That can't be right lol We're child free for the next two days so hubby is taking me out for dinner.…

My diary is open. Yes, it definitely keeps you honest. But I also find other people's diaries helpful. For instance I'm stuck in a breakfast rut. Oatmeal EVERY DAY Monday through Friday. I used to eat fast food every morning. Now I would like to mix it up a bit while keeping it simple and healthy. I may get ideas from what…

I do the same thing! Logging first seems to put everything into perspective. I have a hard time drinking water so I use an app on my phone called aqualert. It reminds me every hour to to drink until I reach 64oz.

Welcome back Cheryl!!! Back for cycle 2! If you're new, my name is Charita. I'm a wife and mom. This is my third time around on the weightloss journey. My goals for cycle two are: - increase steps from 6,000 to 10,000 daily *yikes* :smile: - be more consistent with drinking 64oz of water daily - 5 sessions of cardio and…
