Bringing in the New Year

October
How is everyone adjusting? I have decided to not bring home work with me. I am feeling much better and my attitude is what does not get taught today will tomorrow. I am done stressing over things I cannot change or magically make happen. For example I have been stressed over my non-working smart board...well now I use it…

When do you go back to school or are you already there!
I go back on Monday, Aug 26 and am scared. Not sure if I am more scared about 'eating healthy' or actually not knowing what the heck to do when I get into my classroom. Heading into unknown territory is yet exciting and scary!

Ok - I finally went back to the gym after a brief mental moment of last week's whirlwind of an interview, offered a job, and doing all the paperwork...yes, no excuse my fat butt should have been at the gym. Well I did go to Zumba...that's something. Aug 5 - 271 (yup up one but what do you expect when you eat chocolate…

I have been a big fan of the Biggest Loser for many seasons and watch religiously. Now, I am a fan of the show Extreme Makeover Weight Loss. I have seen each episode and love how some what committed the contestants are. So here is my take on the past episode:: husband and wife and the husband did not want to be there - ok…

AUGUST...
Wow - can you believe it? Now I still want you to set your August goal. Did anyone try something different for weight loss? I would like you to think about doing the following: setting up a visit for a physical, talk to a nutritionist, or something like this. Why? Well because I wonder how many of us jump on MFP and begin…

Balancing work, kids, and all other obstacles
I know in the past when I worked - working out was not a priority and I did not have 'time'. OK, yes. I can admit I was just too lazy. Beginning this past journey or lifestyle change I have realized working out makes me feel good and I enjoy it. However, I am scared I will fall back into my routine of getting too busy. I…

Since starting we have kicked off with setting a standard of 5 lbs a month. Since we are all different shapes and sizes - I want us to set our own goal (again) but add something to it. thoughts: try a new exercise, change your routine, push just a little harder, spend more time working out, do an am and pm workout Log on…

Grocery Store Confusion
So I thought we could discuss how we shop for our food. Shopping can be confusing and maybe we can share so advise of things we have learned to make another's shopping experience easier. What do you buy/What makes you select this product? Do you eat frozen, fresh, or can veggies/fruit? Do you eat a lot of packaged foods?…

Choices: Dealing with Anger
Many times in my life (more than I can count) I turned to food to assist and sooth my soul when I was upset or angry. I am not sure if this is something I was taught or observed, maybe something I even developed on my own. I used to blame my parents for my...humm what should I say....bad eating habits. The reality is they…

Let's chat about Protein
Ok- so I have a protein rich diet. I guess safe to say I am always over what MFP says I should eat in protein. Well I am always over my salt intake too. Does anyone here follow MFP outside of calorie intake? I am wondering if my loss would improve if I cut down on protein and adjust my diet in other areas as well.
-
Everyone good?
Just wanted to make sure everyone was good out there. I have not seen any activity in a bit so I thought I would chime in - yes I am a talker if you had not noticed....hope all is well.

Water
According to MFP we should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. I am hoping everyone is staying hydrated especially going into the summer. So here is my question: Do you count the water consumed after working out as part of your 8? I do. I am just wondering if this is 'replacing' what I sweat out or…

The horrible rotten bad binge day....
Yes - today was it for me. I woke up had my cereal, went to the gym. While at the gym did my weight routine and for cardio did the C25K Day 1. My ankle feels great and I wanted to get back at it. So 35 minutes on the treadmill and I am heading home. I drink my protein shake, shower, and get ready to pay our car tax and…
