Hey everyone! @powerofbacon and I are taking over this check-in. She will be posting the Friday check-ins and I will post the Sunday night or Monday morning check-in. Which day will depend on my schedule, but most of the time it will be Monday morning.

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.

Re: Healthy Living Check In - 12/8/14
The Bad: The being alone loneliness is setting in and my food choices for the weekend suffered.
The Proud: I've kept up with all of my workouts since the beginning of December!
Your Plan: Well, I may be lonely, but I don't need to eat my feelings. I ate crap yesterday and ended up feeling like crap all day because of it! I'm going to keep up with the exercise, although I need to alter it some. the burpees and the squat jumps are really doing a number on my ankles, so I may remove though and does do every other exercise every day rather than splitting them up to every other day. Example: It used to be sumo squats, russian twists, and plank punches one day and burpees, squat jumps, and v ups the other. Now I'm going to do sumo squats, russian twists, plank punches, and v ups every day in addition to the situps/pushups I do already.
QOTW: If you could choose between Hawaii and Alaska to vacation at, where would you choose and why? Alaska! I've already been to Hawaii, and the air was definitely much clearer there, but I can only imagine how much clearer still it would be in Alaska! I would love to sail down Glacier Bay too.

The Bad: Woke up with a horrible cough on Sat and wasn't very active and ate things I shouldn't have.
The Proud: Not much.
Your Plan: Get my workouts in and increase my veggie intake. Any time I have a cold veggies are the last thing I want to eat, but I need to!
QOTW: If you could choose between Hawaii and Alaska to vacation at, where would you choose and why? Hawaii - I don't like being cold and the only time I'd go to Alaska would be in the summer when there's constant daylight. I don't think I'd get much sleep so I'd be miserable and crappy!

The Good: Ummm...I got nothing.
The Bad: No exercise due to the upper respiratory infection that kicked my ass for almost 2 weeks. Company party Friday night ended up being a whole lot of alcohol and a drunk pizza eating binge at 2:30am
The Proud: Ummm....nothing
Your Plan: Get back on track since I am feeling better! I would love to do Body Pump this afternoon but I am on CD3 and it's pretty rough right now. If anything maybe the elliptical. I also plan on eating healthy this week.
QOTW- This is hard but I would say Alaska. I know that Hawaii is gorgeous but I live in Florida and I am not that much of a beach girl. I love the outdoors and I think that Alaska would have a ton of stuff to do that I would love!
@rmpar29 I get that about not feeling well and then eating crappy because of it! I know that while sick healthy foods are not what you want. I know I don't! But I'm sure they will help you feel better in the long run, maybe even help stave off a cold next time!
FX that you start to feel better soon!

The Good:I thought I put on 10 pound on my trip back home to see my family but I put only 5 ( only??? )
The Bad: I have been eating like crazy trying to satisfy all me cravings before I started my diet and exercise program , and I know this was only an excuse to eat like pig...
The Proud: I am going to start my exercise program today!!!!
Your Plan: I am going to try the Whole30 plan today and exercise at home for now. Getting a gym membership next month.
Hey, when you are expecting a much bigger gain than what you actually had, that's a good thing in my book!
Good luck on starting your new exercise program. What kind of program is it?
FX that Whole30 works out for you. I know when I tried it my brain (if that makes sense!) felt better and clearer.

@Menrandes I cooked up a crap load of veggies last night and MH made me Pork Chops on the Grill so I will either be eating that or my Salad with grilled chicken. I am going to leave the baked potato out for my dinner, I have gotten into the habit of eating them at night and when I try to lose weight I try to cut my carbs down to nothing past 2pm. So hard!
The Good: I went running one day this weekend.
The Bad: I convinced myself not to go running the other day this weekend. There was a misty rain and I thought it would get worse.
The Proud: My arms are getting toned and my pants fit better (not fully back yet, but better).
Your Plan: Go to the gym for three classes this week, train with DH tomorrow, and run this weekend. Friday will be the rest day.
QOTW: I would choose Hawaii. I like vacations that includes the beach, a pool, fruitty drinks, hiking, and general exploring of a new place. Although I can do most of that here in Florida, it is nice to go somewhere else for it and not have to clean house for a bit.

The Bad: the eating last week in Napa made me put on 3% body fat (though I didn't gain weight technically)
The Proud: Worked out yesterday and today (first two day stint in like two weeks!) I also got my new Fitbit (a ChargeHR) and I'm super excited so hopefully that presses me to get a little bit more active this week!
Your Plan: I've got all my food planned out for the week, but do have two question marks - in laws are visiting tonight and then a work lunch on friday. So, I will work out in the morning and hopefully at lunch and will do my best to track all of my calories.
QOTW: If you could choose between Hawaii and Alaska to vacation at, where would you choose and why? Having never been to Alaska I think I'd choose there because I really want to go, but I LOVE Hawaii and love the beach so I think if I'd been to both I would choose Hawaii. How's that for indecisive?

Lapses happen, but it's awesome that you had the willpower to stay away from the fudge and croissant!

Awesome on the fitbit. FX that it gives you motivation!
I definitely want to go back to Hawaii someday, but I've been wanting to see Alaska for so long. Hawaii was never really on my vacation radar until I went unexpectedly.
Hopefully if/when I go to Alaska it doesn't let me down!

@menrandes – I often eat my feelings too. You’re right – you don’t have to do that. So, keep your chin up and do better today. I understand how burpees and squat jumps can really mess with your joints. Take care of yourself and definitely like your plan of splitting things up. Have you ever done Bulgarian split squats? (OUCH!)
@rmpar29 – Sorry you aren’t feeling well. I’m right there with you on foods when sick. I hope you’re feeling better today?
@nikolie93 – Sounds like the sickness is going around. I’m so sorry you’ve been sick. Body Pump would be difficult with CD3, but the elliptical generally helps me.
@mrsRed09 – Yay for a great work out and decorating your house. I’m glad you have a good plan with the diet. I hope it has a positive impact for you. Cutting out dairy and grains would be hard for me – especially during detox – but you’ve got this!!!!
@furrypaws – YAY no binges or cookie dough. A couple nights of pizza won’t kill ya, but maybe lay low with it this week? What all are you putting in your protein shake?
@powerofbacon – way to go on rejoining the gym. Did you do classes or just regular workouts when you went?
@VaBarnet – Welcome. Glad your weight gain wasn’t as bad as you expected. I use that satisfy my cravings before dieting excuse too. Sometimes it’s good… other times not so much. Are you just doing the Whole30 for the day or are you starting the whole month of it??? I did Insanity over the summer – it’s cray cray. I do love T25 though J
@kellybenelly83 – We all have lapses, but sounds like you did great with your friends and you rplan is solid!
@flyoffeve – Way to go on the run. I hope it was good for you. What are you and DH doing to train???Good luck with exercise and shopping tonight. What kind of shopping are you doing?

@Menrandes Yes, it feels good.
@MrsG80inTN DH and I are training for our second Savage Race that will be in late March. When we train we run over to the nearby park. It has a few body weight machines- rows, triceps, chest press, and lat pull-down. We do three reps with a run around the park (1/2 mile) in between each and then run home. There is also a cargo net we climb up and down on the far side of the park during each run around. There is also a bar by the weights. My goal is to do a pull up.

My Chart
The Good: I ate breakfast today. I don't like eating in the mornings and I really don't like eating cold things in the winter. Breakfast is annoying because easy stuff is cold and it is in the AM. Haha. I had Greek Yogurt with Chia Seeds and Pomegranate Seeds today. It was yummy.
The Bad: I drink too much. MH and I are doing a no drinking during the week thing. Hopefully that will help.
The Proud: I'm proud that I genuinely like healthy foods. It is just the preparing them and actually eating them that is the problem.
Your Plan: Do better meal planning and make time to eat good foods. I keep saying I'm too busy, but that isn't a good excuse. I need to make a plan and follow through.
QOTW: If you could choose between Hawaii and Alaska to vacation at, where would you choose and why?
Hard question!!! I have been to Hawaii a few times and enjoy it there. The air smells sooooo good! I would have to pick Alaska since I've never been there and I really like mountains and hiking. Plus the wildlife is great. I didn't see any wildlife in Hawaii except sea turtles (AMAZING) and fish in the reefs.

Welcome to the check-in! Joining us is a good first step!
Breakfast is so important, so good job on getting that in today! Maybe after grocery shopping pre-prep what you can so it's easier when it's time to prepare to eat? I know I always wash my grapes when I get them home and I slice up carrot and celery. If it's already prepared it's usually much more likely that I'll eat them!

And don't quit here, we'd miss ya!
Because I had absolutely nothing good to say about last week I just wanted to say I did a pretty good elliptical workout for 45 minutes tonight! So hard when AF is here.
The Bad: Eating food makes me feel sick lately, so I have been skipping meals which isn't so great.
The Proud: Still drinking lots of water. I have been avoiding the sugar and candies and cookies, even though I'm on CD3 and want to have all the emotions to eat. LOL
Your Plan: I plan to try to log my food this week, even though it's crazy week for singing! Also try NOT to spend too much time in front of the TV (because we just got Cable). I think I will try to do crunches and jumping jacks in the commercial breaks.
QOTW: If you could choose between Hawaii and Alaska to vacation at, where would you choose and why? Well since I grew up in Hawaii, I think I would like to visit Alaska.
I'm sorry about CD 3, but it's good that you have been able to avoid bad food anyway! I wish I had that kind of willpower!
Doing crunches and jumping jacks during the commercials is an awesome idea!
