Pretty good day.
Healthy eating but a little high on calories.
Did my sauna and stretching yoga this morning.
Mental health break for lunch - drive in the sunshine and lunch with a friend
Need to drink some water this evening.
Nice to see you all

Debbie, wholeheartedly yes, cook that gobbler up, refreeze it, and pull out what you need for sandwiches, soups, and anytime you need quick protein!
Laughing harder than I should have at "trank the cat"
How did that go, by the way?

Busy couple of days. Finally checking in again. Mix results midway through the week...
Keep calories to 1600-1700 -- blew it Monday, but got back on track yesterday.
Do yoga everyday (M-F) -- blew it yesterday, but back on track today.
Do Shred video everyday (M-F) -- See yoga line. But I was really active with home stuff yesterday. I got a spring cleaning bug a bit early.
No Sugar! -- if my goal was very little sugar, I'd be hitting it out of the park.
Don't procrastinate on work stuff -- Doing pretty well here. Sitter here this morning, so I'm about to get cracking on work again.

Week 3
Day 6
Hi all. I got my work out done and my menu planned for the day. If I stick to it I should be fine. It is encouraging to see so many people on track. We should have a good weigh in on Friday. I will post my results tonight. Have a great day.
My neighbours daughter is engaged and getting married in November so I have 10 months to lose 50 pounds, at least that is my goal. It will be hard but not impossible.
Nyda, did you get the cat to the Vet?
Mern, missing you, how are you doing?
Hope, good job throwing out the Chinese food. I don't think I could do it.
eej5, sugar, don't want it , don't miss it. Yay
Debbie, I hope you are back to 100%.
Mike, good goals

Off to a good start. Sauna and Yoga done, meals on track. Now to enjoy my green tea.
New goal for today is to plan and prepare my meals for tomorrow and Friday. Two busy days ahead and if I'm not prepared you will see me in the drive through at lunch.
Hope I'm glad to see you use 'not new" as opposed to old. I'm older than most the people I run into through work and get tired of the way they consider any accused or complainant over 60 elderly. I'm 67 and sit there shaking my head when they do that!
My rant for the day.

Hi all! Checking in with day 20 of my 30 day rotation which was a mix of back and hamstrings/butt alternating with cardio moves of course. Awesome workout and I felt more like my regular self again...only coughed a little bit. I followed it up with day 1 of BodyRock Catching Fire 30 Day Challenge which was a 12 minute HIIT workout (another free online 30 day challenge that started today). It was a decent workout for sure and I burned an extra 95 cals in 12 minutes...not too shabby
Libby - I hope you're right tha twe have a good weigh in on Friday....I've been watching the scale this week and it's been mostly up? What's with that! Just gotta keep my focus and the scale will eventually follow...but maybe not this week for some reason?
Hope you're all having a great day!
