Happy Friday Everyone!!

Happy Friday @carlsonbaby2014 - while I am sad to hear of your bump break because I will miss you, I understand that you have to do what is right for yourself   (((hugs))) to you and wishing you all the best as you continue your journey!!

On a healthy living note... my week was so/so.  After a great week last week, it was hard for me to keep up this week.  I didn't really track what I was eating, we ate out way too much and I didn't hit my step goal each day.  So boo to that.  I hope that I have a motivational turn-around this weekend to kick it into gear again next week!

I'm going to miss you so very much @carlsonbaby2014.  Keep up the exercise!

Thank you for agreeing to take over @mrsg80intn - you rock!

As far as Healthy living - I'm doing ok this week.  Made it to the gym Wednesday and Thursday but not this morning because I was still full from dinner last week.  Exclusive of last night's dinner, I feel like I've been doing well with the eating.  I peeked at the scale this morning and I was down a little bit so I'll take it.

Starting Monday I'm weighing in and taking measurements and then I'm on a 21 day challenge to myself to eat right, drink a ton of water and exercise 5-6 times per week.

Happy Friday everyone! I can't believe that tomorrow is March. Time sure is flying.

@carlsonbaby2014 - While I'm sad to hear that you are taking a bump break and I will miss you, I totally understand the need to step back. Enjoy your time away and we'll be waiting for you to come back refreshed!

@5895WolterA - It's hard to keep up the awesomeness from week to week, so I understand how it's harder to follow a good week with another one. But it still sounds like you did okay. Hopefully next week is even better!

@peggels24 - I must say, I chuckled that you didn't work out this morning because of last week's dinner. :P Must have been one amazing dinner! I'm excited for you to start this 21 day challenge, it sounds interesting. We'll be here cheering you on.


As for me, I'm doing okay. I am doing a lot better with my water intake but could still use improvement. According to my weight, I should be drinking 51 oz a day and I haven't quite been reaching that. Maybe next week? I haven't worked out at all this week but hope to get back to my Fab Ab challenge today. I did better with snacks and eating healthier, despite devouring 1/4 of a chocolate cake. It had quinoa in it though, so that's healthy right? Right?

@jenn0021 oops last NIGHT's dinner - typo!!  My bad  I did once have a burrito that I swore filled me for a week!

@carlsonbaby2014 Thank you for the check in. I am very sad that you are taking a break b/c I will so miss your gifs! Please take time for yourself and I can't wait til I see you around these parts again. ((Hugs)). 

I am not sure how this week went for me as I spent a lot of it in a fog. With so much on my mind, I am surprised I remember to eat. I havent moved on the scale any so that is nice. Tonight I will not be good. Huge shake up at work and everything is going to hell in a hand basket. I will of course be doing this:

So just be aware that I am not going to be healthy tonight. Much love ladies. I will try to post to y'all later when I can get away again.

Hi ladies!  @Carlsonbaby2014 – You’ve been a phenomenal check-in leader.  We all greatly appreciate you spurring us on to healthier habits and for being so awesome and wish you the best on your bump break.  We look forward to your popping in J   I will try to make you proud J

 

@5895WolterA – I totally get what you mean about up and down weeks.  You’ve got this though and can totally kick this next week into gear.  Sometimes I just need a little break anyway J Everything, in moderation, right?

@peggels24 – you rock too my dear J  A loss is a loss for sure.  Morning workouts are often hard for me – I commend you.  I love your 21 day challenge.  What will be your reward for finishing?

@jenn021 – glad to hear your water intake is going well.  You’ll have to tell me more about this Fab Ab challenge… my abs could use that.  Quinoa chocolate cake sounds interesting… I had some black bean brownies a few months ago that were actually quite tasty… could you tell there was quinoa in the cake?

@hawkward – sorry you’re stuck.  Stocking your kitchen is definitely the way to go to make better choices.  You’re doing so awesome though so just keep going… (Kinda like Nemo – Just keep swimming)

@megrae12 – I think allowing yourself a night here is actually ok.  And you’ve had a heck of a week… Take care of yourself and don’t expect me to be soft on you next week… back at it lady J

@MrsG80inTN - I'm totally just going to direct you to my blog since I talk about the cake and the Fab Ab challenge there. And no, you totally couldn't tell the cake had quinoa, that was the best part!

(Blog link is in my siggy)

@mrsg80intn My reward is simply feeling better about myself in Aruba.  If I can meet my goal, then I will know that I did all that I could to get there  And maybe a nice new watch

MrsG80inTN

@jenn021 - Oh good... another diversion from work... headed there now.

@peggels24 - I keep (selectively) forgetting you're going to Aruba without me... 

MrsG80inTN

@Jenn021 - your blog is super cute and that cake looks awesome and moist... will have to see about making it sometime soon though my DH isn't going to go for me baking for about 3 weeks at least... he's trying to kick his sweet tooth :-) 

MrsG80inTN

@megdowntheshore - your runs impress me. I think when you are training you may hold water so don't stress the scale... Just keep on keepin on!
