Rabbit Rabbit. I cant believe it is September. Where did the summer go?
Today's weight/ goal weight- 146.9/140
AF should be rearing her ugly head anyday now. I normally gain about 2 pounds that week, so hoping to see this number come down next week
What's motivating you? I lost a lot for my wedding, and its slowly all coming back. It upsets me to see this number, knowing how hard I worked.
Weekly fitness and eating goals? I am blaming AF, but I have been eating all the things. Trying to curb that in this week, and get a work out in every day this week after work
.
Any roadblocks to prepare for this week? Well its Labor Day weekend. We are going to my ILs for the weekend. That means food and no work outs. My goal is not to drink more than one drink a day and to try not to eat too many cupcakes.

Weight loss tips / healthy receipt to share. I know I keep saying it but water. Drink lots and lots of water!
Something random- whats a skill you wish you had? I wish I could cook. I have no talent for it, and really hate to do it. If it was up to me, we would have pasta every night as that's about the extent of my culinary skills. Which also explains my issues with loosing weight, huh?
Re: Weekly Weigh In 9/1
I forgot About the weigh-in when I woke up, so I've already had breakfast. Yay me!
What's motivating you?
Clothes, and Selena Gomez's new song.
Weekly fitness and eating goals?
Start up yoga again, at least once a week. It's been too long. Also, move to a "more paleo" diet.
Any roadblocks to prepare for this week? Already bought 3 soups at hand for dinners at work.
Weight loss tips/healthy recipe to share. Track what you're eating, it adds up fast. Eat your meals and a small snack or two, and leave it at that.
Something random- whats a skill you wish you had? Controlling my mouth. I swear nothing is sacred. I'll talk about anything.
Today's weight/ goal weight
147/130 (I think I am up 2lbs from last week)
What's motivating you?
Wanting to be at a healthier weight for pregnancy.
Weekly fitness and eating goals?
No more desserts! I have been eating ice cream/brownies and all the bad stuff at least once a day. I would also like to get to the gym every day for the rest of this week.
Any roadblocks to prepare for this week?
Labor Day weekend. I don't think I am going to drink very much because I should be in my TWW, so maybe just a drink a day. But the food and s'mores!
Weight loss tips / healthy receipt to share.
Avocado Oil. I like to use it because it is healthier than a lot of oils and has a higher smoke point than EVOO. I get mine at Costco.
Something random- whats a skill you wish you had?
I wish I could drive stick shift. My moms car is a stick and I would be useless if for some reason I ever had to drive her car.
ETA: my weight.

TTC#2 April 2019What's motivating you? Getting healthier for baby and avoiding weight related health issues that run in my family.
Weekly fitness and eating goals? Work out at least 4 times this week. Over the weekend I redid my stairs and spent about 4 1/2 hours squatting so my thighs are killing me but I still made it to the gym on lunch yesterday. Today is lunchtime yoga and I plan to hit the gym on lunch the rest of the work week! For eating just continue with my morning Shakeology and clean eating the rest of the day.
Any roadblocks to prepare for this week? Ditto Labor Day Weekend and tons of bbq's/parties. Going to try and make it a priority to get up and jog while up at my Grandma's cabin to try and counteract the imbibing/eating.
Weight loss tips / healthy recipe to share: On Sunday I made broccoli/carrot "tater tots" that were delicious. See recipe link. I added shredded carrot to this recipe and cut back on the breadcrumbs and they were still yummy and crispy! https://www.thetwobiteclub.com/2015/01/broccoli-tots.html
Something random- whats a skill you wish you had? I really wish I knew how to sew or knit or crochet or something like that. I would love to be able to sew hemlines and make cute balnkets/scarves etc for gifts.
This is the first year I've felt excited for fall! We're a few weeks away from moving from Brooklyn to a new house in the suburbs (complete with white picket fence and potbellied stove!) and I'm already ready to start nesting.
Today's weight/ goal weight- 163/155
What's motivating you? A family history and the body type with the potential to be heavy. It really does sneak up on you, and this is the heaviest I'm comfortable being. Its easier to lose 15 lbs than 60!
Weekly fitness and eating goals? Trying to increase my water intake, even if it means more bathroom breaks. The bathrooms at my office are under renovations which means I'm walking up 6 flights of stairs every time I have to go. There is an elevator but fitness goals and all!
Any roadblocks to prepare for this week? I've been really nauseous for the past week, which is leading me to eat lots of carbs and sugars (ginger beer and multigrain crackers mostly). There was a post here a few days ago mentioning that it might be a withdrawal from HBC symptom, but I almost NEVER drink sodas and this is killing my calorie count. Suggestions?
.
Weight loss tips / healthy receipt to share- Slowly replace the treats you like with healthier alternatives. I'm a cookie monster, so I make cookies with mashed over-ripe banana, oats, vanilla, and dark chocolate chips (bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, let cool for another 30). They still satisfy that sweet craving while providing nutrients and fiber.
Something random- whats a skill you wish you had? I wish I could dance, or enjoyed it at all. I think my hating dancing has to do with my zero rhythm. I'm the awkward girl in the corner at weddings.
@yogahh have you tried any of the Blue Apron/HelloFresh/Plated? They usually have deals where you can try 3 meals for two for $20-$60 without committing. They come with everything you need for the meal and clear instructions and the meals come out delicious. I love to cook and I still learn (techniques, ingredients, preparations) from the meals I get from those packages.
What's motivating you? Being in the best shape possible before getting pregnant.
Weekly fitness and eating goals? I slacked in my weekend workouts last week. That can't happen again! We grocery shopped yesterday and made good choices. So I'm happy about that.
Any roadblocks to prepare for this week? DH's birthday bbq this weekend. Hopefully I can avoid the unhealthy side dishes.
Weight loss tips / healthy recipe to share. I have this berry smoothie for breakfast nearly every day! I use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of regular.

Something random- whats a skill you wish you had? I wish I could apply make up! Eyeshadow in particular. I could be the poster girl for Pinterest fails.
ETA: autocorrect fail
What's motivating you?
Wanting to feel healthy, stong, powerful, and good naked.
Weekly fitness and eating goals?
I am going to continue to work out every other day. Sunday was barre and today is yoga. Packing lunch or eating something healthy. Not eating too late. Limiting my indulgences (wine, chips, and sweets). Drinking lots of water.
Any roadblocks to prepare for this week? I have gained approximately 7 pounds since starting to work out in May. I think I have less fat and look more toned, but it's frustrating not to have that reflected in weight. Saturday, I gained 2 pounds from the time I woke up to after a few glasses of water and coffee; so I'm think it's water and muscle. Hopefully. Still I was 130 at our wedding and I did that by just eating less and not working out (muscle atrophy means less weight for me).
Weight loss tips/healthy recipe to share. Pack lunch and don't snack excessively.
Something random- whats a skill you wish you had? French braiding and self control.
I don't really believe in scales for how my progress is but more of how my clothes feel on me (too loose/too tight) and how I feel in my clothes
What's motivating you?
Lots of things, wanting to be healthier, not feeling good about my current body weight/size/shape, extra fluff in the tummy, face looking a little fuller.....yuck
Weekly fitness and eating goals?
no goals this week, see below
Any roadblocks to prepare for this week? We are going out of town today, going to Minnesota for the State fair so there will be eating ALL the bad things, drinks and I'll be more than ready to start fresh next week. We hopefully will not have any birthdays or anniversaries or anymore out of town or anything when we get back so I'm ready to get back on track with workouts and eating better. I always feel like I'm defeating the purpose of trying to eat well M-F and then undoing it on the weekends on my own or if we have parties to attend.

Weekly fitness and eating goals?
Just to exercise at all. I did go for a great run on Sat. but for some reason got the most ferocious blisters that ripped open so I'm sidelined until they heal.

I will resume running once I get all my online training courses for the new job out of the way. I eat pretty healthy as it is, so I'm just gonna try to avoid the easy grab-&-go foods that ghrelin wants me to eat...
