Re: ~**~ Healthy Living Check In ~**~
THE GOOD: I ate really well Sat and Sun.
THE BAD: I binged on caffeine Friday night and undid all that good food from the weekend already with a super large iced not decaf coffee and a stomachache's worth of cookies. Also, I keep falling off with tracking on MFP.
THE PROUD: I bought myself ten yoga classes
THE PLAN: Make and stick to a meal plan for the week. Track with MFP. Be mindful of what I put in my mouth with all the parties at work this week. Get registered for (and hopefully start) the yoga classes I paid for.
My RE has insisted I find something to destress and thanks to snegde and mlal, I committed to it. Check out groupon or one of those sites. I got a really good deal.
@Katieisoptimistic Hopefully the hangover has passed!
Hi, I want to join! Hopefully I can be faithful to at least this one thing related to "healthy living". I am horrible. I want to get fit but I usually just give up shortly, shrug my shoulders and reach for a cookie. I am 29, I am 5'6" and weight 132. My BMI is where it should be, but I am soooo flabby. I have no muscle at all. Summer before last, my friends and I ran (I jogged with my son in the stroller) at least 3 miles EVERYDAY. It may not be much for some, but it was a great workout and I LOVED the way I looked and my legs looked amazing. We were also swimming and were pretty active. This past summer, we didnt do as much and I noticed my flab came back

The Good: That I did drink my water and I will continue that (water has never been an issue for me, so not sure it is a success story)
The bad: Everything I did last week was bad!
The proud: ***Cricket chirping***
The plan: Track everything I eat, bad good or indifferent. I calculated the correct calories based on how much I have gained and I think I can stay with this budget.

The good: I just began my Week 6 of Couch to 5K.
The bad: I made sugar cookies on Saturday and have eaten way too many...raw and baked!
The proud: Last Friday was my first run without any walking intervals. I ran 20 STRAIGHT minutes! I don't think I've ever done that in my life.
The plan: I have lost about 14 lbs so far and would like to lose about 16 more. My starting weight was 187 and I'm currently at about 173.

THE BAD: Saturday night and Sunday day I had way, way too much alcohol. Like, an embarrassing amount. Needless to say I feel like sh*t today and probably undid all the good from my workouts during the week *sigh*.
THE PROUD: Snuck tangerines into my coat pocket to share as a snack with DH on our walk yesterday. The proud here is that I'm glad I'm finding ways to get creative with our fruits and veggies. A bowl full of tangerines at home when there are so many other snacks to choose from? Most likely, I'm not going to go for the tangerine, but if it's the only thing available to me on a walk? Sure, why not!
THE PLAN: Forgive myself for the massive amounts of wine I had, and move on. BodyPump 2x this week, zumba 2x this week, many dog walks, healthy, homemade meals, and water, water, water.

Sounds like your Good, Proud and Plan far outweighed your Bad! It's behind you! HUGS

THE BAD: I had events every night for the last 4 nights. I over ate and drank too much. Sigh
THE PROUD: I weigh less right now then I have in about 8 years.
THE PLAN: don't over eat this week. Stick to low carb. Get healthy! Since I miscarried 1 1/2 weeks ago, I have had the stomach flu and now I have the regular flu. I have never been so miserable. I also fell and banged up my whole right side and my left ankle. Which is heck on my being able to work out. I could scream. I'm sorry to be a downer but I just feel so beaten when I'm already down.

I think the plan is to get my butt to the gym and try to not look in the unforgiving mirrors while I'm there haha.

THE GOOD: the scale hasn’t moved that much… this is good because the way I ate it should have…
THE BAD: Well, I’ve been eating too much… and drank too much at my boss’s cheap-o wino party.
THE PROUD: Humph… I’ll come back to that…
THE PLAN: Survival… This week I couldn’t work out today and can’t Wednesday… going to try and make it to the gym the other days. I have a hockey game tomorrow night and DH’s holiday party Wednesday night… and I must MUST MUST finish my shopping… I’m stressed. L We’re also celebrating our 10 yr anniversary and while I’m totally psyched I’ve already planned out the dinner (it’s going to be AHMAZING!) and that I’m making DH buy me a crazy good bottle of wine… I’ll enjoy it, but should workout nonstop between now and Sat night just to ensure I don’t weigh 80# more at the end of the week.
Question – has anyone figured out how to friend on MFP with screen name? My screen name is the same MrsG80inTN… please ya’ll friend me… if you’re “watching” I’ll have to log in the 10 Reese’e mini PB cups I just ate…
@megrae12 – Hope your cold goes away quickly. I understanding girding your loins… I am doing the same thing
@anymax – are you doing regular yoga or hot yoga? Hope the classes are good. Oh, and I haven’t logged food on MFP for weeks.
@katieisoptimistic – we all have our moments. One night doesn’t undo all the good work though in general… (although for me sometimes it leads to binging… hoping not for you)
@srcr2011 – welcome to the HLA check-in. Hoping that you are able to find the inner strength to get your body in the fighting shape you want it to be in. What are biscochitos and natillas?
@meladoriestar – Good for you for stopping yourself at 2 drinks. Hoping not waking up to a HO was a good way to start your week! Your meals sound good too. Is DH still out of town? If you need inspiration for some recipes try www.skinnytaste.com – she’s one of my faves. I also have a few recipes I can share if you’d like – just holler.
@Hawkward – Sometimes being “here” is the only good we can muster with regard to healthy-living L Sorry you’re having thyroid issues. Has your doc figured it out yet? My MFP screen name is the same as on here – MrsG80inTN, but I can’t figure out how to friend based on screen name…
@Ashris13 – I heard crickets for “proud” too… Humph… good for you for getting your water in. FX that this week is better for you.
@Catemitty – way to go on your insanity workouts!!!! Impressive. Way to go on the party too. Definitely forgive yourself a little for the over-eating.
@KC1212 – welcome back.
@quigleycat1 – yay for beginning Week 6 – that is AWESOME!!!!! 20 mins straight is seriously impressive to me… I’m going to go take a nap in your honor J I’m proud of your weight loss too. We weigh about the same and I’m trying to lose about 20. In it together? What else are you doing other than running?
@carlsonbaby2014 – sounds like you have a good plan and despite the wine you’ve been doing pretty awesome.
@cheekers2010 – cheering you on to your goal! When I get that close I get on the scale and breathe out for a really long time… it never helps. Congrats on your weight loss!!! Sorry you aren’t feeling well.
So, when you send a friend request in MFP, you have the option of either putting in an email address or simply a screen name. Either one is ok.
@MrsG80inTN
Thank you so much!
Trying to eat better, and doing a little strength training. But the majority has been the running! Sure, we can keep each other in check!
