Shoes. :)

I was around and then I got bored and now I am back. I am Lansing, wife, mother of 3 humans and 3 dogs and a teacher. I need the muscle now that I am inching towards 40. I know this is what I need and it makes me feel awesome, so I will follow the program this time. Last time, I didn't take the required breaks and I know…

this. Although I find that eating sweets makes me crave more sweets. I try to stay away but don't stress about it too much.

Ha! As a teacher, I was surprised at what all falls under our responsibility. This is not a school decision but a government one.

Yes. Always.

Bump. Curious what others say.

OMG I LOVE LUCKY CHARMS! I don't eat cereal anymore, but Lucky Charms is the one cereal I will break that rule for. I buy a box about once evry 6 months and then tell my kids they CANNOT touch mommy's cereal.

I think its people are strange, when you're a stranger, faces look ugly, when you're alone. Women seem wicked, when you're unwanted.

Yep. I take strategic showers. If I am at the gym and need to run errands, I do it after the gym. If I know I will need to do some cleaning at home, I wait to take a shower. Only excpetion is I will not go to bed or work sweaty. :)

Drink! Drink! Drink!

No. Just no.

I don't know, but it is tasty. Of course, I don't ban regular bacon from my diet.

I weigh daily. It keeps me honest. Its just a habit now: wake up, use the bathroom, get naked, weigh myself. If anything, it has helped me know my body and what it reacts too. Vodka = temporary weight loss Wine = weight gain I can't judge maragritas on their own because they always come with chips. ;)

Love it! I was ready to be annoyed, but this is awesome!

Yum. thanks!

Street with a good gps app (I like Nike). Tracks are BORING!

I schedule Sunday as my "rest day" but I rarely truly take it. I still go walk or swim or even do a full out workout. That leaves me the ability to rest if I need to.

Anyone?

wine, margaritas, mexican food, pecan pie, movie theater popcorn, to name a few. ;) But usually I blame it on my 3 kids (pregnancy, breastfeeding, eating their leftovers)

In this world there is no force equal to the strength of a determined woman.

" I always where black to the gym. Its like a funeral for my fat."

You can't build muscle at a calorie deficit. I would set MFP to maintenance and eat back your exercise calories. :)

I like that! and also "your body is not a trashcan." Works for me when I want to help my kids clean their plates.

Nobody?

AHH, kids! Are you sure she is not just bringing the sweets for the kids?

I don't usually use dressing, but when I do, I use non fat plain greek yogurt mixed with Ranch or Onion dip mix.

Yes, they don't force it on you! Also, they let me take pizza home to the kids, even given me a box so I can take each child 2 pieces. That gets me to the gym bc my kids know when its pizza night and love it for dinner!

I have never heard the lunk alarm go off and we have been members for a year and I go 5 times a week. hmmm.

My Planet Fitness has: a scale in the bathroom, great music, weights up to about 400 lbs, free pizza the first Monday of the month and free bagels the second Tueday of the month (but both are accompanied by lots of fruit), and it is a judgement free zone. I see everyone from hard core body builders, to the local high…
