I just let go over the weekend!  I ate what I wanted and a lot of it.  

1)  I didn't beat myself up too much over the weekend.  I've been feeling really down recently and I need to start treating myself better.

2)  EATING

3)  This week I have set 2 goals for myself 1) get back on the zero belly diet and 2) do not eat anything off of my kids plates.  I have been so bad about that recently.  My kids barely touch their food and I'll finish it for them.  Not necessary!!!

Hi Ladies! I'm going to join you!

1. Getting started! Today is Day 1 for me with the 21 day fix! I practiced using my food containers over the weekend and it helped a lot with the BBQs!

2. The Booze. Too much Booze at BBQs!

3. 21 Day Fix is my plan! I did the workout this morning and it was hard but felt good when I was done! I can do this!!

Thanks for running the check-in @Frenchteachermama!  You rock!

1) Something you are proud of: I logged in every day to MyFitnessPal to track my calories every day last week and did at least 30 minutes of activity (walking, bike, running) 4 days last week.

2)  Something you need to work on: Cutting back on the carbs and upping the protein.

3)  The plan: Since I'm on stims again I'm restricted from high impact activities so no running.  I hope to take evening walks with DD and just make sure I'm not going too overboard on the calories this week.

Thanks dr running this check in!!!

I did better than expected, but that's because there wasn't a lot of food around, which made it easier. So I suppose I am proud of that. I also hit the 40lb lost mark, which was my 25 lbs of baby weight + 15 of fertility led weight. I am happy with that being gone! It took since January 12th losing between 1-2 lbs a week but I got there!! I need to just keep it up. I want another 10 lbs just for fun. I keep lowering my goal weight since I have more time before my cycle. I have 4 lbs until a healthy BMI, so the 10 is just a new goal to set. My first goal was a healthy BMI, which I should reach this week or next. I work out 4-5 days a week for 45 min, eat low carb with the exception of a few cheat meals, only drink on weekends and use MFP to track calories.

1) Something you are proud of: I did most of my 21 day fix workouts last week and felt like I was making great progress

2)  Something you need to work on: Then I did terrible this weekend. I had 4th of July at my house so didn't get my workouts in and had too much food/leftovers here.  I am throwing out all the left overs today! 

3)  The plan: Starting my workouts again today and going to make a meal plan.  Then grocery store later today for healthy "meal plan" foods. I need to stop half-assing this

WOW!  Sorry I don't have time today to respond to everyone individually but I have to say that I am REALLY PROUD OF US!!!!
