I eat raw almonds for a snack - good source of protein and filling!

Good morning! I'm having issues with the morning thing as well. Lately I've been exercising after I get home from work. Not really sure I like that, definitely like exercising in the morning better, but can't seem to get moving that early! Awesome job with the weights Lisa! Have a great weekend!

Happy Thursday (actually Friday for me as I'm off work tomorrow - woohoo!!)! Got my run in last night - it was a great run - 12 minute mile! Working my way back to my 10 minute mile. So jealous of you all that run outside! Today I will do a JM dvd. Cindy, glad you like the chicken! I'm definitely making that part of my…

Good morning! Yes, pages are really different, not sure if I like it, but will get used it! Was supposed to run yesterday, but went to work early and got home late. Today is actually supposed to be my rest day, but looks like it was yesterday instead! In to work early again this morning, but son has "Sunday school" tonight…

Good morning! Did JM Beginner Shred this morning. Cindy, so far the app is working great - keeping me on track! Lisa, love the new profile pic. Got my calendar for the month of October all set up and got my first star yesterday! Yep, son was a little jealous and wanted a start to, so he "worked out" on the elliptical for…

Good morning! Today I start my 8 week Runkeeper training. Was going to run this morning, but hubby and son were up early making pancakes and bacon - it was yummmmy! So will run this afternoon. Will meal plan for the week today as well. Lisa, great job on the run! I like the idea of the calendar. Will get that put together…

Good morning! Today I will do yoga and try to get 10,000 steps cleaning house. Will start a new program via Runkeeper tomorrow that is supposed to help me run longer/faster. It's an 8 week program. For some reason I stick to exercising better when someone (or something) tells me what I am supposed to be doing on what…

Good morning and happy Friday!! Going to take today off from exercising, my legs are sore from the JM dvd the other day and my hip is hurting. Pretty sure it's the weather - went from 75 degrees to 40. Cold today and VERY windy. Yep, looks like summer is truly over....bummer. Lisa, thanks for the great lunch ideas. I need…

I slept in till 6:00 this morning so will have to exercise tonight. Son has "Sunday school" tonight so will have an hour to get it done. Turkey chili sounds really good! Tonight is our "leftover" night so I won't have to cook - woohoo! I'm really liking the meal planning and knowing what's for supper. Now I just need to…

My goals are: 1. Run/walk four days a week (had this as a September goal and actually did it!) 2. Strength training two days a week 3. Plan meals I'm also going to try really hard to stay away from that no calorie candy!!

Good afternoon! Slept in this morning:frown:. Told myself yesterday that starting Monday I would get up at 5:00 am every day, including weekends, so I could exercise and have some time for myself and make the 5:00 am thing a habit. Guess I'll have to start that tomorrow now. Makes me crabby all day when I don't get up and…

Good morning! Today I'm going to either do yoga or JM. I'm also actually planning this weeks meals. I've always talked about doing it, but never actually done it - today I'm doing it. Got my calendar out and am making a plan. I didn't cook at all this past week. My husband mentioned this morning he thinks he's losing…

Good morning all! Haven't gotten much exercise in this week. Went shopping in the 'big city' twice this week so got over 10,000 steps each of those days and work was crazy the other three so was in early and home late. Got up late this morning, but will definitely get something in today, might run, might try the new JM…

Good afternoon! Had a hard time getting up this morning to exercise and I'm sure it's because I ran so late last night (I call "late" 6:30 pm!) Was pretty "energized" after that and couldn't get to sleep. Don't think I'll be going that again! Will try to get something done when I get home from work today. Cindy, I got a…

Happy Sunday! Today is my day off, but found a new Jillian DVD that I must try - we'll see how it goes! She uses kettlebells, which I currently don't have so will try it with regular dumbbells. Cindy, what weight of kettlebell do you use for your workouts? I've been thinking of getting some, but not sure what weight to…

Good morning! I ran this morning and will do my Jillian workout this afternoon. We are back to warm weather again. Was in the 50's and 60's last week and yesterday it was 90. Glad for the warmer days - I'm dreading the cold winter! Have a great weekend!

Afternoon! Started my JM Beginner Shred on Sunday. I think I'm supposed to do it everyday, but man my thighs hurt on Tuesday!! So...skipped Tuesday. Will run today and probably do the Beginner Shred. Should have gotten up this morning to run, but wanted to get to work early to prepare for our annual meeting today. Meeting…

Good morning! Today is my rest day, but I just found a new Jillian Michaels DVD, Beginner Shred (it's a 30 day exercise program), so might try out the first session today. I've been hearing she has a new "BodyShred" program like her Body Revolution one coming out in the fall - I'm pretty excited about that!! I was going to…

Happy Saturday! Ran this morning and hope to get another 8,000 to 10,000 steps in. I’ll do laundry and house cleaning so that should be pretty doable! Lisa, I will be VERY jealous if you get that watch!! I love anything techy and would love to have one, but can’t really justify the cost! Not sure I would get the Apple…

Hello all! Well, didn't exercise this morning. Son was sick yesterday/last night and didn't get much sleep. Will have to figure something out when I get off work, probably a short Piyo workout. Cindy, bummer on the fitbit! I have a desk job and work through lunch most days as well. I get about 2500 to 3000 steps in a day…

Good morning! Today is my day off from exercise although will try to get as many steps in as I can. Did pretty well yesterday, so hope to do that again today. It was beautiful outside yesterday so my son and I spent as much time as we could enjoying the warm weather while it lasts! Maureli, I too imbibed a little too much…

I did maintain my current weight, but still haven't completed c25k. Will work on that in September. I wasn't very good with exercising or planning meals either. Emy, you did great in August!! Keep it up!!

Hello all! I've had a pretty good week. Only ran twice this week, but got in a lot of steps. Cindy, I love my fitbit as well. It makes me more mindful of exercising and I try to get in at least 5000 steps on work days (since I sit at a computer all day, that gets tough!). I try to get 10,000 on weekends. I hate it when I…

I'm with you Lisa - the last couple of months for me have been as mess as well! It's time to focus. My goals for September are: 1. Run/walk four days each week 2. Strength training two to three days each week 3. Log every day

Happy Sunday! Today I will get 10,000 steps in. It's time to take down the pool so there will be a lot of walking and a little weight lifting:laugh:. Tomorrow I start back to my six days a week exercising and eating better. I'm going to create a calendar today that will tell me what I do each day. I'm hoping that will help…

Hello all! Well I've pretty much taken the entire month of August off from eating right and exercising. I actually lost weight though (pretty sure that's due to the saltine cracker diet for two days:laugh: ). All month I have been struggling with getting up at 5:15 am to exercise. I've been trying to figure out a different…

Hello all! Well, it's been a rough week. Haven't felt well all week and yesterday the stomach flu hit. Uggg. All this laying around drives me bonkers! But I'm getting some reading done that I haven't had time for and the saltine cracker "diet" for a couple days can't hurt! Will be glad to get back to normal food and back…

Hello all! Well, it's been a week (I believe) since I've posted. I've only exercised two days this week and ate crappy pretty much every day! Logged every bit of it though, but what scares me is I was okay with it! That's so not good!! Need to get back on track and start planning meals. I think that is my biggest issue -…

Good morning! Started week 8 of c25k - didn't make the 28 minutes :frown: Will have to try again tomorrow or Monday. Did Piyo afterwards - love the stretching! Lisa, hope your shoulder heals quickly. Wow, all-day soccer - actually sounds like fun! It's been cloudy and rainy all week here so I'm jealous you'll be sitting in…

Quick post tonight. Work has been crazy. Hope it settles soon! Am running and doing Piyo, somedays both. Going great so far, just wish I could get my eating a little healthier. Great job on the run Emy! Pam, glad to hear you had a great reunion. I have a small one this Sunday. Will see some aunts, uncles and cousins I…
