Re: Weekly Fitness Check-in 7/24
SW: 144.4 CW: 144.4 TTC Goal: Since we're already TTC, I'm trying to get healthier for if/when I get pregnant
Fitness game plan for this week: I want to walk 5 days this week. My goal is to walk for at least 30 minutes. I also want to workout 3 times.
Did you meet last week's goals? N/A
Fitness goal for this month: I want to workout consistently this month.
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? I want to eat healthier. I'm going on a low carb/high protein diet. I was on it when I got pregnant with DS. I'd love to get on this and stay on it throughout pregnancy this time.
Any rants or raves? Frustrations? No, I'm good.
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack? I like fruit. When I go back to school, I will most likely pack an apple and some almonds.
CW: 204 GW: Don't really have one
Fitness game plan for this week:
Walking and yoga, eating more greens and less crap. Track carbs
Did you meet last week's goals?
Nope
Fitness goal for this month:
Make good food descsions and walking and yoga at least three but aim for 5 days week
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey?
Any rants or raves? Frustrations?
While I haven't been tightly tracking everything I thought I had been making descent choices so stepping on the scale this morning was a kick into my gut. I want to get pregnant but I hate that I'm potentially going into a pregnancy weighing what I weighed when I gave birth
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack?
I like baby carrots, sugar snap peas and almonds

Current stats if you'd like to share! (Usually starting weight, current weight and TTC goal weight.)
SW: 125ish CW: 125ish GW: 119
Fitness game plan for this week: 3 runs per week, 9 miles per week
Did you meet last week's goals? 3 runs at 8.61 miles. Considering that I have to get up at 6:30am (even on days off) to beat the heat, I'm happy with that.
Fitness goal for this month: Running and just generally eating healthier (more veggies and salads with lunch).
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? I've been having a good time with my lunches in the past few weeks. It takes a little planning, but between all the great prepared salads/wraps that Trader Joe's offers it has kept me very interested!
Any rants or raves? Frustrations?
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack? Red peppers and hummus!

SW: 145 CW: 142 GW: 130
Fitness game plan for this week:
Eat better and work out more, really shouldn't be that hard, right??
Did you meet last week's goals?
Nope. I've been at this since May
Fitness goal for this month:
I know you can't really target where weight is lost, but firming up my belly would be great.
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey?
Nah
Any rants or raves? Frustrations?
Rant: It really bothers me that it's a joke to tell young skinny people, "Oh, it'll catch up to you, hahaha!" It's my health, and now I'm struggling. It would have been nice if people helped me learn to make healthy choices when I was growing up rather than say, "sure, have more cake"
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack?
Fruit! Except that if I buy a bag of dried mangoes, I will eat the whole bag of dried mangoes!
Current stats if you'd like to share! (Usually starting weight, current weight and TTC goal weight.) Not sure what I weigh at the moment, we don't have a scale at home (it's better for both me and DH that way haha) and so I pretty much just get weighed at doctor's appointments. Right now I'm in a healthy weight range and I don't have a particular goal weight, mostly just trying to improve my muscle-to-fat ratio.
Fitness game plan for this week: Trying to squeeze 2 workouts into this busy week, plus at least 1 on the weekend. I'll probably do yoga and Zumba/some other type of dance class. Also, not skipping any dog walks this week!
Did you meet last week's goals? Nope, last week was a big ol' swing and a miss for me haha
Fitness goal for this month: Get into a more regular exercise habit cause I have majorly fallen off the wagon!
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? Over the last year or so I've improved my eating habits in several small ways and I've seen the payoff from that (about 12-ish pounds down), so I'd really like to keep improving that, and to get back to working out regularly. I have PCOS and even with just this amount of weight loss I've noticed my periods are more regular, so if I keep getting healthier I think it'll get even better - then maybe once we start TTC I won't have such unpredictable cycles
Any rants or raves? Frustrations? My frustration at the moment is how much time it takes to make healthy food... tonight I'm cooking us dinner and also making my lunch for the rest of the week so there goes most of the rest of my evening! Oh well, it'll be worth it.
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack? Fruit, mixed nuts, or string cheese!
@kimberbeep I got all those comments too when I was a little stick figure child/teenager! I ate pretty much whatever I wanted as a kid (other than my mom making sure I had some vegetables/fruit each day) because no one was concerned about a skinny kid eating sweets, and I've had to un-learn so many bad habits as an adult.. it's tough.
@JennyColada I haven't been to Trader Joe's in a while but I may have to go get reacquainted with their ready made stuff. In grad school I lived off of their frozen meals!
@kindbytealikat Sometimes it takes a while for the good choices to be reflected on the scale. You got this!
@JNCPro3130 Our goals this week look pretty similar. My walks with the dog are usually 30 minutes each night and I can tell a difference in how I feel just from that (compared to before I got her I mean). Good luck to you!
Current stats if you'd like to share! (Usually starting weight, current weight and TTC goal weight.)
SW: 192 at the doctor's office last week.
CW: ?? No scale. But presumably close to 192.
GW: I guess 160 or so. Really, I'd just like my clothes to fit better.
Fitness game plan for this week: Set a new daily calorie goal, more steps than average, some form of additional exercise (sit-ups, push-ups, climb stairs). Start establishing what to pack for lunch to meet the new goal.
Did you meet last week's goals? Pretty much. But I was starving all the time using the calorie goal set by MyFitnessPal, so I have to figure something else out.
Fitness goal for this month: Establish better habits.
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? Honestly, I really don't want to get pregnant at this weight. But I also don't want to wait to start trying. I guess the silver lining to not getting pregnant right away is that I'll have more time to get in better shape.
Any rants or raves? Frustrations? Last time I gained weight, my boobs got bigger, too, which was a small bonus given my very small endowment. But this time, I weigh more than ever, but now that I'm done nursing, my boobs are smaller than ever. Plus, I'm still constantly hungry like I was when I was breastfeeding. It's very depressing.
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack?
A hard-boiled egg with a little honey mustard.
Current stats if you'd like to share! (Usually starting weight, current weight and TTC goal weight.)
SW in January was 170
CW: 140
GW: 135 or thereabout
Fitness game plan for this week:
I want to do at least 5 P90x3 workouts this week. I'm already behind since I didn't do one yesterday.
Did you meet last week's goals?
I didn't really have any goals last week.
Fitness goal for this month:
I would really like to lose this last 5 lbs before TTC in September
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey?
I started the 21 day fix in January and have more or less stuck with Beachbody programs ever since. It's definitely the healthiest I've ever been.
Any rants or raves? Frustrations?
Now that I'm close to my goal weight, I've been struggling a bit with motivation to stay healthy. Also I've been waking up early (before 5) for work so I am tired.
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack? I love Larabars and those 100 calorie packs of nuts.
Current stats if you'd like to share! (Usually starting weight, current weight and TTC goal weight.)
SW: 215 CW: 194 TTC GOAL WEIGHT: 185 OVERALL GOAL: 150-160
Fitness game plan for this week:
I need to count calories. That is the easiest and most effective thing for me, but I get so lazy about it. My goal is to count calories every day this week.
Did you meet last week's goals?
I didn't really set any particular goals last week, but I did lose a pound, so that's awesome.
Fitness goal for this month:
Count calories every day, walk 30 min 4-5 mornings a week, at home strength training 2x a week, ideally lose another 2 pounds.
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey?
I'm excited that I'm less than 10 pounds from losing all my baby weight! I was 185 when I got pregnant with DD. However, I was 15-20 pounds over my happy weight when I got pregnant, so I would love to lose that weight as well and be at about 165 when getting pregnant again. Working hard to make that happen asap!
Any rants or raves? Frustrations?
Not really at the moment. Just been really, really busy with the new show I'm working on!
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack?
We've been having tomatoes with fresh basil from our garden and they're so good with just a little salt and pepper, I haven't even missed the burrata cheese we normally put on there (when I'm not dieting.)
@maureenmce I love tomatoes and basil. I really love them with fresh mozzarella, but I bet it is good on its own. I think I need to get used to the idea that not everything needs cheese.
Any tips?
@kimberbeep just popping in to share my support: breakfast today was a donut and lunch was 2 slices of pizza and 3 jalapeno poppers.
That said, there's totally nothing wrong with "falling off the wagon" every once in a while, it helps keep life (and food) fun. All things in moderation and the most important thing (to me at least) is to just understand that those things are an every-once-in-a-while activity and not a daily regimen.

Whoa! That is amazing! Is 1 filling enough for a light breakfast? I think 1 hardboiled egg along is almost that many calories and this sounds like a tasty way to mix it up! Definitely going to have to grab me a box of those!

Also, I did add a tiny bit of salt for flavor, btw, but I have a major salt tooth, so maybe they're fine without.

eta: obviously my future kids are going to be super well adjusted with no baggage. Any child psychologist care to kill dibs now?

Fitness game plan for this week: Don't have one.. looking to join a gym in a week or two.
Did you meet last week's goals? N/a
Fitness goal for this month: join a gym and get into a routine
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? I've always been fairly active but have slacked off since having DD due to time. I'm looking forward to placing my health as a priority.
Any rants or raves? Frustrations? Just hard to find the time! Any free time I have, I want to spend with DD. It's way too hot here to go for walks but hopefully we can start that in September.
GTKY: What is your go to healthy snack? Apple and peanut butter
