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 BAD: Still failing on the exercise front.
THE PROUD: I have a plan and am ready to attack.
THE PLAN: More water, more salads, and exercise
QOTW: What healthy food satisfies your sweet and/or salty cravings? A good fruit salad satisfies my sweet cravings but I am physically unable to make a "small" fruit salad and I can never eat it all before it goes bad. I like to make it for parties during the summer and then I have the leftovers. Salty I don't really have a go-to solution for that.
Thanks for running the check in, I hope your weekend was awesome!
THE GOOD: I am avoiding coffee this morning successfully, despite being low on sleep and kinda hung over
THE BAD: I had a seriously fun weekend of wine tasting at various vinyards. Unfortunately that means I am feeling pretty sheepish about the calories involved. I also found out that a local winery sells refillable growlers of a tasty Sauvignon Blanc. Life isn't fair!
THE PROUD: I'm too hungover to be proud of myself.
THE PLAN: I am going to do core excersizes every noght this week, come hell or high water.
QOTW: What healthy food satisfies your sweet and/or salty cravings?
I really like raw almonds. They are slightly sweet, have no salt, and are filling. Perfect triad!
Anyways, hopefully this will get me on the right track...before all this happened, I was fairly healthy.
THE GOOD: Ready for a fresh start...I have healthy meals planned out for the weak
THE BAD: Haven't been able to exercise because of the D&C a few days ago so feeling horribly lazy...and I already mentioned the Tostitos that I just devoured *embarrassed*
THE PROUD: Went and bought a bunch of fruit and veggies this morning. Hopefully, if they're available, I'll reach for them instead of junk
THE PLAN: Healthy meals for the week, will maybe start working out again towards the end of the week
QOTW: What healthy food satisfies your sweet and/or salty cravings? FRUIT! I absolutely LOVE all sorts of berries, pineapple, any sort of fruit really!

THE BAD: Ate hushpuppies on Friday night, but boy were they good!!!!!
THE PROUD: Did a pump DVD last night and did the whole thing with the 10# weights...
THE PLAN: Daily workout plans of T25 with some strength in other workouts. I'm on week 2 of the "beta" workouts and they are hard, but good.
QOTW: What healthy food satisfies your sweet and/or salty cravings? I crave sweets... I've been having the homemade "Cookie dough greek yogurt" recipe... very good. I make a whole serving and split it into two nights... it's a little bit of chocolate which I've been trying to steer clear of, but it's better than eating a whole chocolate bunny (Don't think I didn't think about doing that!)... Here's the link: https://www.girlgonecountry.com/recipes-2/cookie-dough-greek-yogurt-3/
THE BAD: My water consumption went WAY down this weekend for whatever reason. It wasn't that wasn't drinking pop or anything...I just wasn't drinking ANYTHING. That can't be safe or healthy... OH, and Friday night I drank WAAAAY too much alcohol...it was rough...I almost forgot about it!
THE PROUD: I got out with my pup both days this weekend and actually went for a nice long walk with my mom on Saturday morning on the beach. It was nice to get the fresh air!
THE PLAN: I plan on gyming it up today and then I have my ute surgery on Wednesday so I'm going to take the rest of the week to relax and recuperate from that. Wish me luck on Wednesday!
QOTW: What healthy food satisfies your sweet and/or salty cravings? Fruit satisfies the sweet and the salty...I guess pretzels, but I really don't like them. I crave sweet more anyway!
*8.31.16* mc @ 8 weeks DnC {genetic testing, new medications upon next pregnancy}
*7.17.16* praying everyday for my rainbow baby {progesterone supplements, blood thinning injections}
Happy Monday all!
THE GOOD: Drinking plenty of water, taking my vitamins and less caffeine! (I use the 2WW as an excuse to get a pricier latte instead of coffee becuase it has less caffeine hehehe. H can't argue that logic)
THE BAD: I didn't get my 3 workouts in last week and this week is already off to a bad start with a busy day and no gym time.
THE PROUD: Despite some questionable eating over the weekend I'm down 1lb from last week!
THE PLAN: Exercise 3x this week - hope to do a 3 mi run, 30 min cycle class and something else
QOTW: What healthy food satisfies your sweet and/or salty cravings? Ummm I am not a healthy snacker. I consider a Fiber one granola bar a "healthy" snack. Put this under "the bad"

THE GOOD: even after my cheat days I am down a pound today woo! !
THE BAD: UC flare is kicking my but right now...!
THE PROUD: Avoided chocolate at the store even though i am seriously craving it right now!
THE PLAN: keep up the healthy eating, water, meds, and exercise! !
QOTW: What healthy food satisfies your sweet and/or salty cravings? For sweet I love all kinds of fruit...and for salty I really like green olives.
THE BAD: Have not been following a diet or working out lately.
THE PROUD: Finishing the 10k on Saturday.
THE PLAN: With DH, do at least half an hour of some sort of physical activity each day, even if it's a nice and easy half hour walk with the dogs. Just something to keep us moving and create a habit of being active again.
QOTW: Blue Diamond Oven Roasted Cinnamon Brown Sugar Almonds - yum.
@jlworden As awesome as being a bum is, I bet it will feel great to get back to exercising. Hope the estrogen doesn't drive you too crazy!
@peggels24 I know what you mean about a small fruit salad being tough to make. I also have the problem of buying large fruit (melon, pineapple, etc) and never being motivated to cut it up. Then all of a sudden I have a large moldy fruit in my fridge.
@MrsKush1014 and @MSU_Girl1202 Welcome to the check in. Good luck meeting your goals this week.
@MrsG80inTN Wow, I am impressed with your 10# weights. I don't even have 10# weights because I know there is very little that I would be able to do with them. I am a bit of a weakling.
@Megdowntheshore So proud of your half marathon running. Good luck passing the time till your IVF cycle!
@meganwelch congrats on the 1#! Mmmmm, I love green olives.
@HoldingOutHope Wow, 6 lbs! I don't know how you find the time to make it to the gym every day. Good for you.
BFP #2 6/12/14, DD born 2/21/15
THE BAD: Went a bit heavy on the unhealthy food this weekend (and pizza for dinner last night).
THE PROUD: Even when I eat unhealthy I always get my veggies in (carrot sticks with hummus last night with the pizza).
THE PLAN: Exercise, eat, drink more water.
QOTW: What healthy food satisfies your sweet and/or salty cravings?
I like the special K chips with sea salt for a salty craving. For sweet, one piece of dark chocolate is enough, although strawberries are working right now too thanks to @peggels24 and her suggestion a few weeks ago.

DX: RPL due to submucosal uterine fibroid. Hysteroscopy 12/16. All clear!
THE GOOD: I worked out 3 days last week, spent 3 days being much more active than my usual desk job allows, and I went for a run today.
THE BAD: We ate like kings while camping - roasted marshmallows dipped in Bailey's Irish Cream, Smores, and pancakes, oh my! Also, we broke down and bought some soda st the nearby camp store...
THE PROUD: I'm not as sunburned as I thought I would be! Also, despite my crazy busy schedule, and a tension headache, I forced myself to go for a run today and I'm very glad I did.
THE PLAN: another run tomorrow and/or thursday and maybr a Zumba class. No more soda, limit sweets and simple carbs. Increase fruit and veggie intake.
QOTW: sweet would be dark chocolate or strawberries. Salty would probably be baked pita chips and guacamole, specifically the spicy guac from HEB.
