Good Morning everyone!!! What a beautiful Saturday we have on our hands here! It's sunny :) ) Yesterday was an amazing day when it comes to training and protein and water but seriously I need to get more organized when it comes to carbs.

Day 43: 2/22/2015
Good morning everyone!!! It's another great day to be here!!!! Yesterday I was unusually good for a Saturday... I was feeling a little hungry in the afternoon and when I got to logging my dinner I realized I still had over 1000 calories left so I did my best to fill up the tank :) ... That won't happen again anytime soon!…

Day 42: 2/21/2015
Good morning everyone!!!!! Even though the land is covered in snow and the temperature has single digits, today I'm feeling the Spring buzz :smile: I can hardly wait to ditch the winter gear! This week was amazing for me!!! I can't describe how good it feels to be back in the gym lifting and splashing in the pool after!…

Day 36: 2/15/2014
Good morning everyone!!!! It's a beautiful Sunday in The weekend of love. Yesterday I had an affair with sugar; nothing too crazy but enough to make the day different from the rest! This week has been very crazy/awesome/busy for me, full of NSV's. Today, I want to settle back into my usual caloric intake, rest, hydrate…

Day 31: 2/10/2015
Good morning everybody!!!! Yesterday was a great day for me :) feeling strong and anti-fragile from training always carries into the following days. I'm currently testing a new ab routine and I'm excited with the results so far :) once I completely test it out I will most likely recommend it for you guys. For today, it's…

Day 22: 1/2/2015
Good morning everyone and happy February 1st! Yesterday one of my friends posted a great quote I want to share with you: "Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your…

Day 20: 1/30/2015
Good morning everyone!!! It's a beautiful Friday and also our second milestone:) I won't be reporting a loss on the scale, hormones, water retention and glycogen bounced me back up to my weight from 10 days ago. I can't be mad at my body building better muscles and storing some tools and supplies for the sort term :smile:…

Day 15: 1/25:2015
Good morning everyone! Saturday was a very pleasant day with nice surprises and accomplished goals! Sunday is a rest day for me and I usually enjoy reflecting on the week that passed, evaluating progress and formulating plans. I was reminded this week of a cute little experiment: " the marshmallow experiment"; It was…

Pre-start: 1/10/15
It's official, tomorrow marks the day we embark on our 100 day joy ride. Like a roller coaster, there will be fear, there will be thrills, there will be screams and many will try to get off. Trust me, when the ride is over, those who hold on tight and make it to the end, will feel like they can do anything and the world is…

Day 99: Tuesday, December 30, 2014
Day 99 is an event by itself, a day hiding behind the last day of the year, yet very special and unique. Let's make it all about today! Usually, I would get all caught up in preparations for tomorrow; but this time I want to really enjoy today, do something for the present not the future. It's freezing outside, but it's…

Day 98: Monday, December 29, 2014
Good morning everyone! I hope you're having an amazing day! I'm finally getting close to my pre Christmas weight :) I may or may not report a loss compared to the last milestone, but at this point, matching my previous weight seems like a success. Feeling fresh today, will try and get some sweat time in, calories will be…

Day 97: Sunday, December 28, 2014
Wow! Day 97!!!! So exciting to be here, staying the course!!! I did get some exercise yesterday, but I only walked, as my glutes misfired during a one leg squat...calories were well within limits. I did switch my calorie intake back to cutting, from my maintenance value :) For today, I have nothing planned but you never…

Day 96: Saturday, December 27, 2014
Counting today, we are 5 days away from 2015!!! It's incredible how well we are all doing! And we are still here!!! I was very busy this morning but I just finished my last grocery shopping trip of the year :) I love the energy the new year promises and I'm looking forward to our new group! For yesterday, exercise was 0…

Day 95: Friday, December 26, 2014
Good morning everyone!!! I'm not sure why, but I feel incredibly relaxed now that the holiday has passed. I guess with all the joy and cheer also comes a great deal of stress, planning and a desire to put on a perfect day... At least for me....until I wise up and let go of my holiday anxiety. Meanwhile, the day after the…
-
Day 92: Tuesday, December 23, 2014
Good morning champions! What great plans do you have for today? My peeps on MFP are working out a lot more these days and I got the bug... Feeling extremely sore today and I love it. It's great insurance: eating a bit above maintenance + strenght trainin = if I gain some weight it will be mostly muscle, therefore I will…

Day 91: Monday, December 22, 2014
Welcome to the end zone!!!! As far as I counted, 36 of us wrote down progress at the 90% milestone. Maybe more will sign in today :) its never too late to finish something this year. I walked a lot yesterday, including a trip to the park with my daughter. We decided we really need a dog, because the only other people we…

Milestone 9 - Day 90, Sunday, December 21, 2014
Jingle bells are ringing!!!! Time to let the scale measure the force we push the ground with. I am at the 90% rate so it will be a battle till the end:) Congratulations to all of us and especially to the graduates!!! Rock this day!!!!!!

Day 89: Saturday, December 20, 2014
Hello (everybody) Kenda2427! Lol, everyone was "mia" yesterday except for Kenda2427 :) 1 day away from the milestone!!! Yesterday was reckless day, food wise, mostly because I didn't sleep enough and skipped lunch = temptation was ruling the town. Today is a much more laid back day so I should do good! Have a fabulous…
-
Day 88: Friday, December 19, 2014
Well, it's official: you can now call me " last minute lady". I was up way early today to finally get the Christmas groceries done and begin our baking tradition. Sure, I could have gone away with doing less this season, but frankly my lifestyle allows for decadence and enjoyment. I did manage to postpone sugar and cookies…
-
Day 87: Thursday, December 18, 2014
Good morning everyone!!!!! 3 days away from the 90% milestone... I still can't believe how time flies. This group really helped me stay focused during fall/ winter. So far my plan is working great: I haven't shopped for holiday groceries yet, therefore I can't be tempted to bake and eat. Pushing holiday baking for as long…

Day 86: Wednesday, December 17, 2014
Hello everyone! I owe so much of my success to my MFP friends: they are like a magical support group, right at my fingertips when I open the app. Guess what?! You get to pick your friends here: always do what's best for you; keep those who always encourage you, those who tell you off when you're naughty but most of all,…

Day 85: Tuesday, December 16, 2014
Good morning everyone! I know it's a little late, but guess who got 8+ hours of sleep?!! Meeee! In my book, sleep+ nutrition+ exercise = success! Yesterday I wanted to rest, ended up doing a deep cleaning in the house and being on my feet all day. I really have to give my feet some rest and TLC. We have flurrys here in WI.…
-
Day 84: Monday, December 15, 2014
Monday's are usually pretty quick and fun. We have been so lucky here in WI, the mild winter allowed for lots of nature walks last week. I am feeling rather tired and sure could use a resting day. For today, my plan is to rest my feet, drink lots of water, eat good and resist the temptation to blast my progress pictures…
-
Day 82: Saturday, December 13, 2014
Good morning everyone! I was reviewing yesterday's thread and got me thinking about the importance of "well being". NikonPal's pictures mean so much because they inspire self love and self respect. The road we are on, it's a treat for our bodies and our mind. We build confidence and strenght. Weightloss is so much about…

Day 73: Thursday, December 4, 2014
Balancedwalker I hope you are doing better! Yesterday was a simple but rewarding day for me: cleaning the bathroom and kitchen in a matter of hours without breaking a sweat was a nice reminder of how far I've come. :) Today I plan on going to the gym, finally getting groceries and staying in caloric deficit. Let's all be…
