Hello sweet ladies! I am taking the thread over for Pele... Hope you all don't mind. Sorry this week was late :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are a group of women striving to live healthier lives, whether that means losing weight, gaining weight, sticking to a specific diet, counting calories, avoiding counting calories, starting to exercise, continuing to exercise or anything in between.
We check in on Mondays and follow up with an accountability on Fridays (our favorite post of the week, because we love encouraging each other and celebrating all our successes!).
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Many of us are using MyFitnessPal to keep track of our eating and our exercise. MFP is a great tool to keep yourself accountable, and because it is set up as a social network site, we can cheer you on there as well as here. If you are using MFP and have not found us yet, let us know so we can friend you!

Re: ***Healthy-Living Check-In***
The good: dinners planned for the week, bringing lunch, breakfast and snacks to work. And I ran yesterday! 2 miles (run/walk). First time in weeks I've run
The bad: happy hour tomorrow, girls night Saturday
The proud: running!!
The plan: 1 more run this week and another work out. Continue my buns, guns challenge. Keep eating smarter.
QOTW - I prefer the gym but I like to run outside
Saw this quote yesterday, at the gym pretty much sums it up: "just when you think you can't run another step...you realize you're still 4 miles from home. So you suck it up and keep going, because that's where the food is"

@CFearsy the quote made me laugh too. It's literally why I run outside - you still have to get back. Gl at Pilates tomorrow! And I count a med instead of a large as a victory

THE GOOD: I've been working out four days a week for two weeks now.
THE BAD: I've been eating way too much junk food.
THE PROUD: If I'm unable to workout, I actually miss it. I can truthfully say that I enjoy exercising. It is always so hard for me to get to this point. Hopefully I don't let myself get away from it again.
THE PLAN: Get my diet back in check. I want to start using MFP again. I think tracking my food will make me more accountable. Increase workouts to six days a week.
QOTW: I prefer to workout at the gym. I can't talk myself into sitting on the couch if I'm at the gym.
I'm mobile for the next week and am not good enough at tagging everyone while mobile....therefore I am assuming that everyone is doing what they planned to do! ;-)
Also, since I'm mobile I'm just going free text, sorry!
I am proud to say I have taken @km380's buns and guns challenge to heart. I started Wednesday as the first day, took the would be 'rest day' on Friday to catch up, and am officially on day-8. DH makes fun of me because I still have to do a modified push up, but I'm pretty sure he's impressed with my squats.
This week has been bad overall because of AF, which started Monday, and the stress of work before a vacation.
I likely won't checkin for Friday as I'll be in Seattle on vacation!!
Love and ((hugs)) to all of you!
