Sorry I'm late for Thursdays check in. I had half of a turkey & swiss sandwich for breakfast, for lunch i had half of a burger made out of lamb, different but pretty good, and for dinner I had a carne asada burrito and I ate the whole thing! Lol. I was out all day with school and then with family so we ate out. I'm not…

Wednesday check in: Food - belvita breakfast bar for breakfast, half of a cheeseburger for lunch, and I'm making pasta for dinner. I also had about 4-5 shortbread cookies. Needless to say, I didn't make the best choices with my meals today lol. Exercise - something important came up and I missed my usual workout at the…

My bad, I missed yesterday's check in. I remember thinking I needed to do it then I just got distracted and forgot again. I didn't do much yesterday anyway. My legs were so sore from the weekend that I could barely walk so I just relaxed and put icy hot on my thighs. Today went a LITTLE better... I'm not as sore today so I…

Saturday: I made pancakes and bacon for the family for breakfast, then spent 3-4 hours at Boomers with my husband and kids, and then we had lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. I didn't keep track of my calories because I didn't know how to calculate homemade pancakes or the food at the restaurant. I'll go ahead and…

Friday: Food - i ate mandu for breakfast AND lunch, trying to eat up leftovers. Grapes for snack. I'm making chicken taquitos for dinner with fresh guacamole. Exercise - I walked to the grocery store and the real workout was walking back with all my groceries. I seriously underestimated the weight of the items on my…

Thursday Checkin: Food: Yogurt and raw almonds for breakfast. Subway flatbread sandwich for lunch (ham, egg, cheese, cucumbers, spinach, onions, & bellpeppers, no dressing or condiments) but I was bad and had a bag of jalapeno chips with it lol. For dinner, I don't know yet. Something with ground beef or flank steak cuz…

Wednesdays check in: for breakfast I had a strawberry yogurt, for lunch I had a grilled chicken and veggie bowl and for dinner I had 2 slices of pizza. I didn't exercise today, I'm giving myself a rest day and I'll be back at the gym tomorrow. I have a lot of studying to do so my focus is all on that today.

I did it! I went to the gym for almost an hour. I'm exhausted. Food: I grabbed half a biscuit and a sausage link as I was running out the door this morning. I had a double decker taco from taco bell for lunch, and mandu for dinner. A handful of raw almonds for snack. Water: lots Exercise: walking/running for 40 minutes…

I'm so so tired.... My husband woke me up at 3am when he left for work. Then my kid woke me up at 4:30 am complaining that it's hot in his room, then I couldn't fall back asleep. I'm also so sore from yesterday. It's going to take everything in me to force myself to go to the gym today after school instead of going…

Hi everyone! Check in: For breakfast I had half of a breakfast sandwhich (ham, egg, and cheese). For lunch I had a vietnamese style sandwhich (pork, carrots, radish, cilantro and not really sure what else is in it, but it was DELICIOUS!) For dinner I'm having mandu (korean dumplings). I did pretty well at the gym today. I…

Friday's check in: I went over my calories a little. I was sore from my run on Thursday so I just did some light walking. I started going to the library to study so I wouldn't be tempted to snack while I study lol. Friday wasn't really a very productive day. I just studied and cooked all day. I'm thankful for my husband.…

How funny! It was really good! I only ate half my plate, but I'm sure I still ate too much. It was a BIG plate lol. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks Ann! I'm back to going to the gym again. I tried just dieting to try and focus on that and get a good handle on it, but I just love to eat so I can't afford not to go to the gym. Also, I kept cheating and giving up. Initially, my plan was to stop going to the gym for a little bit so that I wasn't tempted to eat…

I like the new format. I hated the way it was before. This way it's way more mobile friendly. I haven't logged on to my laptop yet, but as far as how it is on my phone, I definitely like this format better. I purposely didn't log in yesterday. I needed a fresh start (AGAIN lol) so I wanted my log in days to match how many…

Good news and bad news... Bad news is I went to olive garden and ate way too much. I forgot my water bottle at home today too, so water intake was no good either :/ but tomorrow is a new day! The good news is I had an AMAZING day at school today. The director of the program came by and watched me do a blood draw and I…

Quick post so that I don't forget... today is going well. I'm eating smaller portions, keeping the carbs to a minimum, and I'm avoiding unhealthy snacks and reaching for the healthier choices. I didn't exercise because I have my face buried in my books and will remain that way all weekend. I have a test every monday so my…

Hi everyone, I like the idea of having the posts together in one thread for the week. That way the posts stay current for a week instead of having only the one day to read and reply to posts. I think most of us are not going into past threads to read about past check-ins. I also think it will encourage more interaction…

I'm Christina or "Chrissy" I joined MFP for the same reason as most people, to make a positive change in my health and feel good about myself. My favorite costume was when I made myself into a giant oven when I was pregnant with my tummy sticking out of the door for "bun in the oven" lol I won $50 in a costume contest for…

Another late check in: I didn't eat much yesterday, I was busy taking care of my son. He came home from school with a fever. For breakfast I made a breakfast sandwich (eggs, bacon, & cheese), I skipped lunch then had a tuna sandwich with lettuce and tomato for dinner. I didn't exercise, but as usual I drank plenty of…

Late check in... Yesterday went poorly because i got caught up in my school work the entire day and had to rely on convenience. I started out great but then once I got home I ate junk. I drank plenty of water. I get my vitamin E from my veggies and almonds.

Sweetpea that was a good passage, thanks for sharing. Today was ok. I made healthy choices, but I still went over my calories. I've decided my focus will be on cutting down on my carbs. I eat way too much white bread, white rice, pasta, etc... I need to incorporate more whole grains and increase my protein.

Ann, I know how you feel. When I see my friends posting on instagram how great they are doing with their weight loss or these marathons they are running I feel happy for them but bad that I'm not doing the same things. And some of them started at the same time I did so I feel even worse. One of my friends became one of…

Yesterday went a little better than I expected. We skipped the korean BBQ and I had a BBQ chicken wrap instead which is a lot healthier, but still tastes yummy :) I ended up taking my dad to a baseball game. I didn't buy any food or drinks at the game trying to be good, but was starving afterwards and grabbed a…

I'm checking in early while I'm already on the computer and so that I don't worry about forgetting to later. The plan for today (Saturday) is to eat a light breakfast, walk around the mall for a couple of hours, eat korean bbq for lunch (i know thats bad, but I have a date with my husband and I can't pass up korean bbq…

late check in: I was bad yesterday. I made breakfast for my family (pancakes and sausage), then I went out to lunch with an old friend I hadn't seen in months and we went to our favorite Thai restaurant. Then my husband and I ate carne asada burritos for dinner. So, yeah I was NOT about to log all that and faint when I saw…

I get my vitamin D from milk, fish, butter, and cheese. I ate half a chorizo breakfast burrito this morning, and I haven't had lunch yet, but I'm about to make a tuna sandwich on whole grain bread with some potato chips and for dinner I'm making kielbasa with peppers and onions and white rice. I drank water all day and…

ok, time to get my **** together. I had a tiny little melt down and fell off track for a little while, I even put 3 pounds back on :sad: but the way I'm going to have to look at it is, at least I'm not starting from the beginning which was over 20 pounds ago. I'm not very happy with myself, but I'm going to take it one day…

Food: for breakfast i had a banana, for lunch i brought korean food from home (mandu and rice), dinner I don't know, maybe spaghetti or chicken tacos. I haven't decided what to make yet. Exercise: I just got home from school so I'm going to change and go to the gym for about an hour. I'll do my usual, running (or jogging…

I did horrible today too, today is my dad's birthday so we ate A LOT! My school work is getting harder and I'm getting a lot more work all at once, so I played catch up today instead of going to the gym and I didn't do my sets for the challenge. Tomorrow will be better...

Happy Monday! Just finished my set for the challenge, my numbers are 40 crunches, 20 leg lifts, and 30 second plank. I think you left off one of my numbers for last time, maybe I forgot to post it? It should have been 20 crunches, 10 leg lifts and 15 second plank. Today I had a double cheeseburger from McDonald's, I know…
