What did you do last week? Met my goal of walking 20 miles last week byt walking 21.5 miles and I lost 4 pounds in a month.

What are your plans for this week? Trying to walk 20 miles again! 

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? To feel sexy again...I think thats going to be my new goal instead of say I want to lose weight. Because If I get the the weight I'm supposed to be for my height, I look under weight. I really just want to feel sexy again!

GTKY: What's your favorite summer drink? Cherry Limeade from Sonic!

WasNotWas

What did you do last week? Not much...but yesterday I woke up early and ran and it felt really good, surprisingly I didn't gain any weight from my illness. I think it reminded me what being hungry feels like vs. just eating to eat

What are your plans for this week? D.I.E.T. I need to get it under control. I also plan on getting back into my running and gym routine I had going

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? Long term is lost 30 lbs, mid-term is...I signed up for a 5K on June 7 that you have to wear a tutu to run in I hope to finish in under 35 minutes

GTKY: What's your favorite summer drink? Probably a marg or a Miami vice

Western Diva

Last week: I managed to run 5 k and made it back to my spinning class! It had been months between my and DH schedule...ouch!! I finally weighed myself this morning for the first time in probably three week and I haven't changed....need to actually care about what I out in my mouth to see a change i think!

This week: run or spin twice and do a few JM

Goal: I like the idea of feeling sexy! I want to feel sexy in the beach in November. Also run 5k while pushing the boys this summer.

Summer drink: anything sweet and frozen on a patio! In my backyard- beer.

itsStackie

What did you do last week? Don't think I ran, I recall it raining almost every day I tried. But I did have my soccer game on Sunday and we won. I think we have 3? more games of this so called tournament.

What are your plans for this week? Probably going to walk a few days, if possible, run.

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? Make it through the half marathon in November.

GTKY: What's your favorite summer drink? Pina Colada or a Lemonade.  @redcherry1109 Cherry limeades were my favorite, but all the sonics in my area keep closing down.

RedCherry1109

itsStackie - That's not good!! I love sonic and would cry if the ones close to me closed down!

tttwalters

Last week- I ran in the half marathon, despite the intense wind, it was great! Lots of fun!
This week- I am taking the week off from running, and will do yoga and whatever else I can at the hotel gym. I am sure we will be walking a lot!
Goal- to lose this last bit of weight, it won't leave me!
Fav summer drink- mojito's, they are so refreshing!

tiffletons518

Last week- Insanity and some running

This week- Trying to do more Insanity and running, but I'll be honest. I'm seriously lacking motivation this week.

Goal- To adjust my expectations. I have been super hard on myself and driving myself crazy because things aren't going how they went with DD1 or DD2. I have 3 now. It IS harder. A LOT harder. I don't want to make excuses and give up. That's not my plan. But, I am at a healthy weight. Would I like to lose these last few lbs? Sure. It would make me feel pretty good. But, I think I just need to focus on working out because I enjoy it for a while before I drive myself nuts.

QOTW- I love the fruity beers. Shandy. Strawberry Ale. Dirty Blonde. Orange Shandy. They all go so deliciously with grilled burgers, brats, and dogs

What did you do last week? Weights and diet.  The cardio I've been craving hasn't happened yet.  work is getting in the way again

What are your plans for this week? Diet and hopefully gym time!

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? Tone up!

GTKY: What's your favorite summer drink? Pale Ales, White Wine Spritzers, Long Island Iced Tea.  All the booze!   

WasNotWas

I think this is a good place to put this...I made this smoothie tonight and it was genuinely good! Got my fruits and veggie servings in

No longer the best

What did you do last week? 30DS On the weekend I went up to Level 2 and it hurts to yawn! I seem to be up a pound again which is so discouraging.  I want to tell myself it is because I'm gaining muscle but I'm skeptical...

What are your plans for this week? Keep doing Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred I really do feel myself getting stronger and really attempt to eat more veggies!! 

What's your long-term/mid-term goal? 6 pounds by June 6th which is seeming so hard! 

GTKY: What's your favorite summer drink? Wine!! Really though if it is cold and has alcohol in it I will drink it. 

No longer the best

Also I just wanted to say @musicalsilver thanks for doing this check in I find it holds me accountable and you all are so encouraging!

@nolongerthebest The weighing can be super frustrating. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but measure! I do weigh myself too. But, I always measure because even if you don't see the scale moving, you may be dropping inches. It helps you stay encouraged that you're doing something right!

Lizzybizzy80

Last week I walked or ran 4 days. I stopped BFing except first thing in the morning so I can't add those calories in my app anymore!

This week I want to try to keep within my calorie limit. I'm going to keep trying on my regular jeans to see if they get any closer to fitting. Work has been crazy busy so workouts may have to wait until the weekend.

One goal is to lose the weight while feeling good about myself instead of waiting until I lose the weight.

I love diet cherry limeades!

You are totally right! I used to do that when I was getting ready for our wedding.  I can tell I have less tummy flab for sure so maybe I should start measuring again. Because it is encouraging seeing the numbers go down. When I look at the scale and see it go up it makes me want to eat all the things!!

A day late, but I'm here!

Last week: I let myself break my diet and have my favorite food.. Pizza! But it was amazing and I don't regret it. I jumped back on the diet the next day, and no damage was done. Haha

This week: eat healthy and exercise at least 3 times. I'm getting over a cold, so I've only exercised once so far!

Goal: enjoy my new wardrobe (well it just feels new because I haven't fit in these clothes in a long time!) and enjoy being fit.

My favorite summer drink is Landshark beer! Mmm, fins up!
