Hi all! Didn't get a chance to do this yesterday, but let's check in! As for me, I had a terrible fitness week because I was sick. I had a head cold that turned in to a chest cold and I am only slightly recovered today. So, I didn't exercise at all and I didn't even keep track of my calories.
So uh, let's focus on this week! I am back to calorie counting and wearing my fit bit and hoping to lose 2 pounds this week to make up for 0 pounds lost last week. I'm trying to focus on a mini goal of getting under 200 as soon as possible. Any mini goals coming up for you guys?
Stats:
Starting weight: 215
Current weight: 213
Goal weight: 150
Oh, I also bought a new sports bra that actually fits properly and new workout pants and I am hoping this magically translates into pounds lost, haha.
Re: Weekly Fitness Check In 9.6
So far, I've hit at least 10,000 steps for the last three days in a row. My goal this week is to hit at least 8,000 every day. My long term goal is to try to find time to actually start working out again, but I'm still so sleep deprived, I can't even fathom how to make that work.
Food wise, I'm doing good with meals (DH is doing weight watchers to lose the sympathy weight he gained while I was pregnant), but I just can't stop snacking on junk.
My big weakness is chips. They've got bags of them for the taking in the kitchen at work and everytime I go in to refill my water, I walk out with more chips.
Current: 185.9
Short term goal: getting off this couch.
Long term: 150ish
This week has been difficult for working out. Lacey had a double ear infection (again) and wouldn't stop crying unless being held, including her naps at night. My older kids had a 4 day weekend. We helped my parents move from their house into a tiny house. So everything my mom didn't want to part with is now in my front room, garage, and ping pong room. Also, our upstairs AC unit broke. Arizona without air conditioning is like the 4th circle of hell. All of this stress turned into snack central over here.
So, so far this week I was able to go for a walk yesterday and run today (thanks to my wonderful fellow cross country parents for helping with Lacey so I could get 30 minutes of me time). I'm hoping to dig out the elliptical we inherited over the weekend to see if it will be worth my time. Does anyone know how many calories rearranging an entire house can burn?
Oh, and if anyone has any tips to get cigarette smoke out of furniture/appliances that would be great. Right now my house smells like an ash tray. Thanks dad.
Edited because it didn't post correctly.
Current weight: 177.5

Eventual goal weight: 149
I put on my jeans this morning and they felt a bit tight, and I was like, "Ugh, whatever, I can't even." Went about my day, went for a good half hour walk, and I decided to start logging everything because I've been slacking on MFP over the past few days. Took off my clothes to get my weight, and discovered:
1. I've lost a pound over the past two weeks!
2. These are an old pair of jeans, not the bigger pair I recently bought! Like, these are so old I don't even remember when I used to wear them. So YAY!
Current weight:166
Goal:150
Edited to add: congratulations @l4rk! I cannot imagine fitting into my old jeans yet, that's so awesome!
My current weight: 140 lbs
Pre-pregnancy: 130 lbs
Short term goal: 130 lbs
Long term goal: 110-115 lbs
I need to start working out while babygirl naps some people I watch on YouTube their friend just started a channel called momshape they do 15 min workouts so I would love to start doing that a few times a day during nap times. It's really just finding the energy and wanting to get off the couch. Definitely need to eat better as well my husband would love to lose weight as well we just always eat out because he works during the day till 5 pm I don't always have the time to cook dinner with a clingy baby some nights. Id love to meal plan and prepare portions for a weeks time so we can just grab from the fridge and eat. Good luck to all the ladies on her remember our bodies and weight do not define who we are we brought miracles into this world and the body sacrifices are worth it.
My husband works 24 hrs on a few times a week every week so those days are really bad of for my nutrition because it's hard getting motivated to make a full healthy meal for just me Lol I also have a Fitbit I should charge it and actually use it!
Omg I always tell myself this.
