Good morning! At work early again today, hoping to make some progress on a few little projects. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Good morning! Sounds like everyone is doing awesome! :smile: My Monday turned out okay. Met my step goal and drank all my water. Still working on the eating part... It will fall into place eventually! LOL

Okay, 3 pm and got my 64 oz of water in (along with 36 oz of tea w/out sweetener). Day one complete!

I haven't been drinking enough water either... so I'm in! Cynthia - I also drink water first thing in the morning. Usually between 24 to 36 oz within 10 minutes of getting up. I rarely count that as my daily water because I figure that is just replenishing what I lost during the night. It's the rest of the day that I don't…

Felt pretty good after the run yesterday, but then ate too much throughout the day. Today is a new day! Will do better... or at least attempt to do better! :smile: Nice to see so many new faces! Welcome to the newcomers!

10 mile run this morning... On the treadmill. Blech! But now I'm enjoying a leisurely lunch with Scott.

Happy Saturday! Just doing the day 6 check in! :-)

Good morning everyone! I didn't realize there was a Google Hangout last night! Bummed I missed it! :-( Could really use some positive vibes. :smiley: Slipping off track again. Haven't been feeling all that great for the last week or so, so lots of comfort eating. And once I start that, it's a hard cycle to break. But today…

Doing my daily check in. Busy at work so don't have time to read through the 30+ posts that have been added since I looked yesterday! LOL Did my weigh in at WW this morning and was up .6, but considering I lost four last week, I figure I'm still doing good. Now... if I could just stop eating junk food today....…

Back at work today, but swamped. So now my challenge will be to get through the day without stress eating! LOL Hope everyone is doing well!

Quick check in today. Home with another migraine. But avoiding comfort eating so that's a plus!

Thanks Beerbikegirl! Now maybe if I see it on my phone, I will remember to check in everyday! :D

Back at work and ready to have a good month! Weighed in at Weight Watchers on Saturday and was down 4.2 pounds. Not sure how that happened (especially since I was full winter weather clothing) but I'll take it. Did okay over the weekend, not great, but could have been worse. Luckily we don't have any junk food in the…

Oh man, you can certainly add me to the list of people who have fallen off the wagon. I'm now at my highest weight I've been since March of 2010. And I just can't seem to get my head back in the game. I am back to tracking my food and I am getting back in the groove with exercise, but I just can't seem to stay away from…

Since Heron sent me a message, I thought I better check in. :smile: I have fallen off the wagon big time and having a lot trouble getting my focus and motivation back. Even though the food part has fallen apart for me, I have gotten back in the groove with running and working out. So all is not lost. LOL Between traveling…

Husband loves microbrews, but I'm not much of a beer drinker so the gimmicky beers are normally the only ones I will drink. I like the Pumpkin ales and the local cherry beers, but I will try a few here and there and occasionally find a few I like. We often travel and will try to visit as many microbrews as we can (in…

Was about 170 in high school... Now? 146. :D

Up at 5:30, run or workout when I get up, at work by 7:15, and eat breakfast anytime between 8:00 and 10:30.... depends on when I get hungry and when I can sneak to the microwave to heat up my breakfast. :smile:

I did well on vacation, was only up .2 at weigh in the morning. But I have another weekend away coming up, and it may be more of a challenge. Going to a scrapbook retreat, which means lots of goodies and treats floating around. Taking my own, healthy snacks, but so hard to ignore the yummy treats! LOL

I did the 21 Day Sugar Detox (finished a week ago) and I'm so glad I did it. The recipes in the book were awesome, I wasn't hungry, and I don't crave the sugar like I did prior to completing the detox (really hate the word detox, it's more to reset your palate and help to get over cravings). Since completing the program, I…

Well, I was afraid I missed the Google Hangout (we were traveling), but looks like I didn't miss anything! :smile: The weekend was a challenge with eating every meal out, but I think I did okay... still, I'm dreading my weigh in tomorrow. Oh well, there's always this week to get it right! LOL Hope everyone is having an…

Hmrjmr - Thanks for the link! May have to look into that. So tired of the knee pain... of course if I would do my stretches more regularly, I might not have as many issues. Little disappointed today because I weighed in and was up about a pound. I think I have come to a crossroads of sorts. I am 6 to 11 pounds overweight…

Okay, I hate change... so not thrilled with this layout! LOL Heronh - I would be interested in more information on green lipped mussels as well. I am still having knee issues and I managed to tweak my knee on Sunday (at mile 9.5 of a 10 mile run) and it's hurt since. I noticed on Sunday night I can really hear it creak and…

Personally, I'm not too keen on October. That's when it starts getting cold and we transition from fall weather to winter weather. Howie - why is it your favorite month? Weighed in at Weight Watchers this morning and was down another .4! Okay, not a lot, but enough to be excited about. Anytime I see a loss is a reason to…

No snow, but was rainy and icky. Definitely feels like fall. Though we are supposed to have nice weather over the weekend.

Howie - Yep, stick with what works... worry about making changes and tweaking things if you completely stall on the weight loss. You are doing an awesome and inspiration as always! Carol - So happy to see you post! :smile: I'm sure you will do awesome at the Tough Mudder. And no doubt you will do more of the obstacles than…

Happy Monday to everyone! Had a good weekend. We had an event for the rescue group I work with and had 9 kittens and a mother cat up for adoption. Not only did they all get adopted, but it happened in record time... about 30 to 40 minutes! We were shocked, amazed, and thrilled! Kitten season is nearing the end, but we…

You can friend me, but I haven't been tracking my food lately.... I've tracked in one form or another for the past 10 years and I'm finding it liberating to NOT track for a bit. I'm sure I will get back to it, but for now I just eat clean and avoid the processed foods. I find I don't need to worry about the calories…

Good luck with the Whole 30! I know a lot of people have had success with it... especially for finding out what foods they are sensitive to. I am in the process of reading "It Starts With Food" and I'm currently doing the 21 Day Sugar Detox (similar to the Whole 30, just more variety with veggies and nuts). I'm all for…

Woo hoo! Had a much better weigh in today than last week. Was up 3.4 last week (probably because I stupidly drank 32 oz of water before weighing in), but this week was down 4.2. Much better! :happy: Still not down to where I would like to be, but it's nice to see things moving in the right direction for a change. LOL
