Got to my spin class and it included some resistance bands... but but but, I am so sore from yesterday, it hurt... my ego!! Hahaha Plenty of water, calories in track! I tried the peanut butter with apple that you like @AZLisaLou ! Yummy snack!! Now just sitting at soccer practice for three hours, I really should remember…

Mind games, mental state, bad photographer/pose/light... I have lost a total of 40lbs and there are times in which I feel I look great, new muscles showing and all. And sometimes, even within an hour, it all flips back to negative and I feel like that 189lbs person from a few years ago. I don't compare myself to other…

Thanks @AZLisaLou , some days are tougher than others!!! Yesterday's treadmill cost me an ovary and the half of the other... (since I don't have balls and all, hehe)! I couldn't make my legs go faster than 3.5 mph so I forced myself to watch Project Runway while walking!! Eating is always a bit floozy when hubs is out of…

Yay! Requested membership!!

Pump it up, girlie! @heatherc369 and welcome back!! Heheh @AZLisaLou the salsa sounds delicious!! Stupid teacher, he doesn't appreciate that it's creative and healthy!!! Plus yes, it takes a lot of time to chop! I'm mad at him right with you!!!! I had a great morning so far! Got to my spin class and then decided to move on…

Phew... Survived the weekend! Two soccer games at incredibly hot temperatures... I'm done with the heat... 1st game at 8:00am and it was hot and humid horribility. But, I did get on the treadmill in between games! Today was sorta lazy, woke up late, made breakfast, took monkeys to the Fine Arts Museum. I really wanted to…

Exactly what LisaLou said!!! You got this!

@AZLisaLou no apologies! I love oatmeal! I make those mason jar oatmeals in the fridge. However, by now I'm used to it without any sugar. Just cinnamon, vanilla and frozen fruits. Yumm! Maybe you can try one of those? @heatherc369 we all get to a 'lazy' MFP week once in a while! That's ok. Seems like you're shedding the…

@AZLisaLou I couldn't find it either!!! =P @heatherc369 can you post the link? It might be private because I couldn't find it either!!

I guess it would depend on mileage or effort? You want to let your body get some recovery time in between big efforts. I alternate days with strength training, so I run 2-3x per week.... "Run" on the treadmill, I am not a runner, but to me, what I do, feels like running... Which is probably fast walking for the…

Busy day, meetings, pep rallies, little sleep last night! Hopped on the treadmill around lunch time, got my 300 cals +\- and 2 miles done. Are "mostly" well, drank plenty of H2O. Bit sore from my Barbell class... I love feeling like lifting makes me stronger! I am now going nah-nahight!!! Hope everyone's having a good week!

I got to bed on time on the last two nights (even though I had book club last night!! I slept well on Tuesday, but last night, ggggeeeeeeeezzzzz, I kept waking up every hour, I'm going to be a true zombie today? I did the treadmill on Monday, I didn't do anything on Tuesday and I did my barbell class yesterday! Calories on…

Slip-ups happen, it's human! Choose one or two goals and apply yourself! You are not your mistakes!

Good for your seeking kind words! What a tough time for you, but you ARE strong enough, we all are even when we don't know it! Dig deep, move forward and don't beat yourself up for the not-so-good-days!!! You are worth the effort!

That group sounds good, I'm needing more recipe ideas lately!

@heatherc369 happy birthday to the kid in a couple of hours! Hope you've recovered and are ready to tackle Disney!! Have fun!

Good goals @AZLisaLou ! I need to get creative again, in our food. I go in waves, some months I'm all 'chef-wannabe' then others is just survival of the fittest, hehe, with the boring, generic, 'protein, carbs, veggie' combo slapped on a pan or the grill... Hehehe My goals this week, manage to squeeze in 4 workouts, at…

You look amazing!! It's awesome to see the toning changes! And your family is so adorable, what an example for your son! I'm sure the boyfriend must be so proud of your hard work! So so so happy for you, what a journey! --makes me wish I'd remember to take weekly pictures!!!

Ok! So as I was laying in bed typing the comments above and watching TV, I questioned what was stopping me from getting up and getting on the treadmill for a few minutes... It would make me stop questioning my food choice (if I were to keep gnawing on them, which I don't think I would've), it would make me feel achievement…

Yuck yuck... Took the boys out for dinner, post soccer games and post dad leaving for his trip... Chose a place called Mama Fu's.... I didn't really like it and hardly ate, but ate some, pork Eggroll and some of the chicken lettuce wraps.... Toooooo mmmhuuucccchhhh gaaahhhhhhrrrllliiicccc!! Went WAY over my calories for…

Ow ow ow, sorry to hear about your pulled muscle! Even JM gets it wrong sometimes, listen to your body, by now, you know better! Hope it heals for the kid's bday party! I'd love to live near Disney!!! :D I did a 30 minute treadmill workout! Day 2 of soreness is WAY worse than day 1! I am in serious pain from the barbell…

@heatherc369 normal fluctuations with increasing calories... But with all the exercise your putting in, expect the drops. So fun and interesting, we are never static, we never fit into a box! Humans are great and interesting animals! :h better keep enjoying the ride, right?

@AZLisaLou sorry about your crummy day yesterday! Here's to a new day everyday! I need to plan ahead when I know it's going to be a tough or busy day, otherwise it's harder to make good choices! I started feeling a bit off last night and hoped for a good night sleep. Woke up still off, hoping it's just allergies, or at…

Wwwoohhoooo with the awesome activity day! Good job! I got my 10000+ steps, got all my water in, good on my calories, plus went back to my dear Barbell class....... My triceps were cramping when I got out of class. I could feel my muscles were exerted and could barely keep up with normal body movements, I suspect I will be…

Hehehe that's life of a stay-at-home-mom of two boys ages 10 and 11.... Chase, chase, go, go, go... But I do admit, the one hour gym classes help add to the steps! And not every day is like this.... My typical Sunday's I barely come close to 4000 steps... Hehehe

According to Google it's about 5 miles.

. No idea, Hahahaha.... Just what I walk in a regular school day, with a trip to the gym, and normal cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping....

. Side planks are kick*kitten* hard!!!!

@AZLisaLou every day is anew start! Don't beat yourself up and get back on the saddle! :) We had soccer tournaments for the boys both Saturday and Sunday. Left the house at 6:00 and got back at 6:00... Packed lunches, fruit, and tons of water... We did get a meal out, iHop for Saturday and I went for salad with chix…
