Current stats if you'd like to share!  (Usually starting weight, current weight and TTC goal weight.)

SW: 199 CW: 180. TTC goal weight - as low as I can get before TTC! 

Fitness game plan for this week: Cardio out the wazoo - i fell off the wagon this week and only got an hour in. Work derailed me in the worst way!

Did you meet last week's goals? No, failed on the cardio. Managed to lose a pound, though! And said no to my husband's cookies and cream cupcakes. 

Fitness goal for this month:S tay steady with strength training; try to amp up the cardio. 

Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey?  Any rants or raves?  Frustrations? Frustrated with work right now - i'm working a lot and it's eating into fitness time. Plan to do a 5k in about 3 weeks and no cardio means i'm not training.  

Hoping I really can amp up cardio - i still have that bet with my trainer. I have a workout full of my most hated exercises awaiting me if I can't reach my goal next week. 

GTKY: My dream job: I have it pretty good right now, i love working from home and I get paid very well. I just wish there was a little less stress.

@catlady2015 congrats on your loss this week!

Fitness game plan for this week: cardio cardio cardio

Did you meet last week's goals? Nooope! I had a really busy week and totally gave in to allll of the excuses and treats. It was fabulous. Not gonna lie.

Fitness goal for this month: I want to run a mile in less than 10 minutes. I just made that up right now. Let's go for it!

Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey?  Any rants or raves?  Frustrations? I can't be mad at my lack of results last week, haha. I did this to myself. Back on the wagon! 

GTKY: What would be your dream job? I always wanted to be an editor for a show like Top Chef.

SW: 126. CW: 127(?!) GW: 119
Fitness game plan for this week: This week I'm allowing myself 1 "cheat" lunch (I'm meeting my bff at a training). Trader Joe's meals have been purchased.

Did you meet last week's goals? Yes! 7.6/7.0 miles! Didn't buy lunch a single day!

Fitness goal for this month: Walk 7.0 mils per week, no spend lunches.

Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? Any rants or raves? Frustrations? I'm not TOO upset that I "gained" a pound this week since I haven't been really regular with weighing or anything. I kind of want to buy an Aria scale to sync with my FitBit. Anyone have a "smart scale" and can give input?

GTKY: What would be your dream job? I love training people, so I thought it would be fun to be a regional/traveling trainer for retail. These positions don't really exist though, which is why it's a dream. Lol.

@catlady2015 Good job on the weight loss!

@UterusesBeforeDuderuses Good luck with the goal!

GTKY: What would be your dream job? The one I had when I had to go on leave >.<

@catlady2015 , you are doing great! Although you may not have hit all your goals, I think your weight loss is awesome! Congratulations!

@JennyColada , way to go on passing your walking goal and not spending on lunch. Way to stay on track!

Current stats if you'd like to share!  (Usually starting weight, current weight and TTC goal weight.)
Start: 148.7  Current: 145.6   TTC Goal: 125 (or as low as I can)

Did you meet last week's goals? No, but I don't feel like I did terrible. I controlled my eating...even at the Cinco de Mayo party. I bought ice cream and brownies for DH and I haven't even had a bite.

Fitness game plan for this week:I plan to move as much as possible! I want to hit 10,000 steps as many days as I can (hit it today!). I want to work out 3 days.

Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? Any rants or raves? Frustrations? I've had major stress the past 24 hours. *TW DS mentioned * DS has been going to the same in-home daycare for the past 2 years. We LOVE this lady and she loves my son; however, she is closing her daycare at the end of the school year. As silly and insignificant as it may seem, having someone who you trust and who truly loves your child is heartbreaking to lose! I've cried so much today. Fingers crossed that I don't stress eat!! *End TW*

Rave: I've lost 2 pounds and I've had a few people comment that they can tell. When you're bite sized (5'1), every pound is a lot!!

Dream job: I love working with children but I do wish I could work some from home. I enjoy the perks of summers and holidays off, but I sometimes feel like the 9 months of working extra for my class (PTA meetings, lesson planning, grading, etc), take away from my family.

@JNCPro3130 one of my sons daycare teachers from the infant room had to leave due to medical reasons, and I cried about it. I still miss her she's doing well though!

CW: 164.4 TTCGW: 140 or less

I've managed to be controlled in my eating the last few days and not going way over my calorie limit (according to MFP)! I kept it under a couple days!! 

A long-standing goal has been to actually work out twice a week, hasn't happened...

GTKY: No idea!!! Professional sleeper? 

JennyColada

I just have to share (since I've been all gung-ho about the Trader Joes prepared lunches), their Roasted Eggplant Wrap with Spicy Tahini is DELICIOUS (I'm not vegan or anything though, and still love it!) and it's only 230 calories per serving (1/2 wrap - and the wrap is HUGE). 10/10 will eat again.

catlady2015

@CecilB93 - yay for staying under your calorie limit!
@JennyColada - glad you found something healthy AND super delicious!

JNCPro3130

@CecilB93, I have cried everyday!  She has been so perfect for my son and she's become a good friend to me.  I will really miss her.  I'm so surprised how hard this has hit me!  I've been such a baby!

catlady2015

ladies, i have to confess. I've been a cupcake eating machine. Work's been really bad this week and I've been stress eating. And stupid me didn't freeze the cookies and cream cupcakes. Somebody slap me!

JennyColada

@catlady2015 But on the plus side, the more you eat now, the fewer you have around to eat later. Silver linings!

UterusesBeforeDuderuses

@catlady2015 I totally agree with @JennyColada. Eat them now so you can't eat them later. Airtight logic!

catlady2015

@JennyColada @UterusesBeforeDuderuses you ladies are so great for silver linings.

@catlady2015 add me to the stress eating train!!! This last week of classes has not been kind to me and I've not been kind to my body because of it
