Re: Weekly Fitness Check-In - 11/6
SW: 199 CW: 160 TTC goal weight: as low as I can get before getting KU. Was hoping for at least 160, any more would be great!
Fitness game plan for this week: Get to the gym at least 3x this week (been off my schedule b/c of the move, 5x would be idea)
Did you meet last week's goals? Nope. Only made it to the gym twice.
Fitness goal for this month: Get back in my routine, 3x week weight lifting, 2x week straight cardio
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? Any rants or raves? Frustrations? Eating right when you're working like a mad woman is HARD!
GTKY: What's your favorite tasty AND healthy dish? I found a great recipe from Skinnytaste.com for a turkey taco spaghetti squash boat. https://www.skinnytaste.com/turkey-taco-spaghetti-squash-boats/ I like them because you still get salsa and cheese, and you do get a good taste from the spaghetti squash, so you don't miss the tortilla overly much. Plus, so much of the squash fills you up!

Currently 165lbs.
Fitness game plan for this week:
At least 20 minutes of yoga every work day
Did you meet last week's goals?
No. I think I did 3 or 4 of 5
Fitness goal for this month:
More stretching and doing more active things. I’ve been waking up with a stiff neck (although I think I need a new pillow), so i’d like to practice more self care relating to that.
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? Any rants or raves? Frustrations?
Doing yoga with a toddler around is not relaxing at all, but I like to think it practices more patience and focus.
GTKY: What's your favorite tasty AND healthy dish? (hope this hasn't been done in the not-too-recent-past!)
Tasty and healthy? Hmmm... there’s a good turkey chili recipe I like to make, but once you doctor it up with sour cream and cheese it’s not so healthy anymore...

I'm really proud of my success this year, but it definitely is more of a struggle being so close to my goal weight. I get to relaxed. I'm less motivated.
GTKY: What's your favorite tasty AND healthy dish? (hope this hasn't been done in the not-too-recent-past!)
I love spinach ricotta lasagna rolls ups
SW: when I delivered my daughter I was somewhere around 215
CW: 195
GW: 185 by Jan 1
Long term GW: 150-160
Fitness game plan for this week:
Stick to my meals and snacks I bring to work and nothing else. (Easier than calorie counting for me.)
Exercise 3x a week (30 min cardio, arm weights)
Did you meet last week's goals?
I didn't have any, so yes! Haha.
Fitness goal for this month:
I am dying to get into the 180s! I was so close around 191 or 192, but then ***TW I had my miscarriage, fell totally off the wagon health and fitness wise end TW*** so I'm back up to the mid 190's. We have family holiday photos in 2 weeks, so I'm hoping to lose as much as is healthily possible by then!
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? Any rants or raves? Frustrations?
I'm an emotional/stress eater, so any time I am feeling really down it's tough for me to stick to a diet plan, but I'm trying really hard to focus on health even though I'm not feeling 100% emotionally because it's important for me for when we start TTC again once I'm not benched.
GTKY: What's your favorite tasty AND healthy dish? (hope this hasn't been done in the not-too-recent-past!)
This completely grosses my husband out, but I love cottage cheese and salsa! It's maybe not the healthiest thing in the world (bc of salt?) but I've been known to have a baked potato with cottage cheese and salsa on top for dinner. I also love spaghetti squash!
Thanks for starting this @catlady2015
Current stats if you'd like to share:
I'm trying to focus on non-scale victories. I don't feel like the scale properly represents how I look or feel.
Fitness game plan for this week:
Get back into the gym after a serious stomach virus that took me out for the last week. Start off with no weight and work back up.
Did you meet last week's goals?
I was so sick I must have lost weight but not in a healthy way!
Fitness goal for this month:
Consistent gym routines! I need to set a schedule and follow through!
Anything else you want to share about your fitness plans/journey? Any rants or raves? Frustrations?
My friend and I work out together and want to both take our CPT and start our own business. We're just at the beginning of what I know will be a long road and I just want it to be here now!
GTKY: What's your favorite tasty AND healthy dish? (hope this hasn't been done in the not-too-recent-past!)
I love homemade hummus! I could finish off a whole bunch of celery that way!

Current stats if you'd like to share! (Usually starting weight, current weight and TTC goal weight.) Not sure what my weight is right now - I don't think it has changed at all lately.
Fitness game plan for this week: I wish I had an actual game plan this week lol. I have really fallen off the wagon with exercise and am struggling to figure out how to get back on. My schedule is very weird this week but I'm hoping to get at least one yoga session in before the weekend.
Did you meet last week's goals? I did not have any!
Fitness goal for this month: To get back on track.

GTKY: What's your favorite tasty AND healthy dish? (hope this hasn't been done in the not-too-recent-past!) I don't know about my overall favorite dish, but for breakfast recently I've been making quiches with sweet potato "crusts" instead of a pie crust. It is quite tasty, so it's my current favorite!
greek/tzaziki
taco
thai peanut
teriyaki
italian
pasta salad
bbq
pesto
Ramen
@lalala2004 I was surprised by how good the sweet potato crust was! And easier to make than I thought it would be, too. Win-win!
