@slmlle4 usually does this, but I didn't see it yesterday... and I need it this week! 
1) First of all, are you doing any specific workout plan (30 Day Shred, Couch to 5K, etc.)?
2) Are you on any specific diet (WW, paleo, ...)?
3) How did you do last week?
4) What are this week's goals?
5) What are your long-term goals?
6) QOTW: Throwback Tuesday... A lot of people remember a time when they were fit and trim and felt good about their bodies. Do you have a picture or a memory of a time when you felt really good about yourself (even if it was last week!)? Tell us about it and post a pic if you'd like, for motivation!

Re: Fitness check-in
Baby Chugging born 12.28.13
induction due to HELLP
2) I'm not on any specific diet, but I eat well most of the time. Lots of fruits, veggies and lean protein.
3) Last week was pretty stressful at the studio, so I didn't do much for myself. Which is why I need to set some goals for this week!
4) I have breaks on Wed & Thurs at the studio. I'd like to spend 30 minutes tap dancing each of those days. I'd also like to take a 2 mile walk at least once between now and Sunday, plus do a yoga class on Sunday morning. I did not achieve my weight loss goal for March, so I want to get there by Sunday.
5) Long term goals... I'd really like to lose 22 lbs total by mid summer, like the end of July. I'm setting shorter goals. Lose 7 lbs by the end of April. Lose 5 more lbs by Memorial Day.
I'd also really like to improve my endurance considerably. I hate how winded I feel all of the time.
6) I felt really good from about 2003-2006. I'd like to go back to that time, when I was dancing for myself a lot (not just in relation to teaching). I was strong and fit, and felt really good about myself. I don't have many pics on this laptop, but here's one:
2. Same with diet, nothing specific, just trying to keep my belly full of good things because as soon as I'm hungry I crave sweets like crazy.
3. Last week I got cleared to exercise, woo hoo! So I went to the gym for the first time PP. I took it easy. It felt great to be back among friends and working out together.
4. This week's goal is to go to the gym 3x.
5. Long term goal... Is to figure out how to prioritize my fitness with a LO, balancing his needs with mine. That's as far as I can get right now.
6. TBT... Here's a pic of me and a couple pals (I'm on the right) doing some pull-ups last year before I got pregnant. Chest to bar pull-ups was part of our workout that day, so we were demonstrating our sheer joy for this movement (...not).
BFP#5 Praying for another rainbow in February!
Not right now. Generally, I wing it and cobble together my own programs. I use the various Women's Health Big Book of Exercise (also Abs, 15 minute workouts, etc) series a lot for inspiration. I have also been doing mom and baby boot camp at my gym. Have been tempted by T25 but I am reaaaaally not an at-home exerciser (need gym atmosphere for motivation, I guess) so it may be a waste of money.
2) Are you on any specific diet (WW, paleo, ...)?
I am shooting for 3 balanced meals, 2 snacks, mostly whole foods.
At this point I am just trying to cut down on stuffing my face with sugar. What is it about BF and sugar?! This happened last time too and when not nursing, I don't really have a sweet tooth at all.
3) How did you do last week?
Last week? Great. Then the weekend came. Something about MILs place (visited overnight) leads me to eat like crap. Often the offerings aren't the healthiest but it's no reason to go AS overboard as I do. wtf self.
4) What are this week's goals?
I'd like to get to hot yoga once. Haven't been since I got pregnant! Also hitting the gym at least 3 days this week (2 for 2 so far) and taking some walks with the kids because it's finally warmer out.
5) What are your long-term goals?
I am 10lb from my pre pregnancy weight and my jeans don't fit. If I can resolve the latter, I don't necessarily care about the scale but knowing my body they go hand in hand. I lost the first 20 with no effort at all which have me false hope. Now I haven't lost in a month.
6) QOTW:
Before getting pregnant this time. I was busy with Ds1, doing a lot of shorter intense workouts and not snacking much. I don't know if I will ever quite get back to that now, it was pretty thin but I loved it.
1) First of all, are you doing any specific workout plan (30 Day Shred, Couch to 5K, etc.)?
Just walking, and a little core work here and there.
2) Are you on any specific diet (WW, paleo, ...)?
Weight Watchers
3) How did you do last week?
Great! Finally saw that magic pre-pregnancy number on the scale!!
4) What are this week's goals?
Exercise 3-4 days and continue eith eating choices.
5) What are your long-term goals?
Id like to lose 5 more pounds by the end of May and tone up the core!

When we got married I was very fit and felt wonderful. I worked out five-six times/week though (about 1.5 hrs each time). That's not really realistic for me right now, and I'm ok with that. I'd just like my pants to fit well and feel good about how I look. I was also really tan then, come on sunshine!!
