1. How did last week go? Not too bad. Didn't quite hit all of my workout goals. I did 5 out of the 6 I had planned on. Eating went pretty well also.

2. Goals for this week? Do 5 workouts & continue healthy eating at dinner time. Breakfast/lunches are easy because I already have those prepped.

3. Food thoughts (recipes, grocery shopping, etc.) I have been doing lots of zoodles recently. Lunches this week are turkey taco lettuce cups 3 days and zoodles with light marinara sauce, pesto and turkey meatballs 2 days.

4. Questions/AW/Rants/Thoughts: I am trying to remind myself with going back to work this week that I might have to forgo a workout or healthy meal to get through the week. It had become second nature so I'm hoping to fit it in before work or right after. I had all intentions on working out last night but waited until after dinner and was too full/exhausted by then. Boo.

5. GTKY. Treat Yo Self. What is one thing you will try to do this week to treat yourself? I am going to try to get DS down early one night and then have myself a bath with wine & a tv show.

1. Last week went really well. I did all my workouts and cut about 30 seconds off my mile time. I've been feeling great.

2. I'm already falling short this week. I probably won't get to the gym until Friday because back to work and DHs schedule. I'm afraid it's going to be so much harder to get to the gym regularly so I'm going to need to get creative.

3. Nothing new...trying to not eat junk when I go back to work.

4. I weighed my self this morning. 5.5 lb below pre-pregnancy weight. 4.5 to reach my pre-baby weight. Definitely more stubborn weight, but I'm determined.

5. We have a birthday party Saturday, so probably dessert!

1. How did last week go? Last week I hurt my back so I took the week off of excercise. DH was also gone for 5 days which lead to no time to eat and I lost 4 pounds! I'm back on the wagon for exercise this week.

2. Goals for this week? I finished the 6 week exercise challenge I was doing so this week I am starting this 30 day core challenge and planning to start running again. I started yesterday and did 1.7 miles, not great but a good start. I want to run 4x a week and slowly increase mileage in tandem with the core exercises. I am 1.5lbs from pre baby 2 weight and 6.5lbs from pre baby 1. I would love to start focusing more on toning, and with that the weight will come. At this point I am more concerned about fitting into my pants. I can fit in some of my jeans but def not the smallest pairs. Some I can button but it's not pretty. Toning my core is a big focus now to help with that.

3. Food thoughts (recipes, grocery shopping, etc.) It's dive season here and DH is an avid freediver and spearfisher so we will have fresh fish for dinner for free for the next few months. Blackened fish tacos and teriyaki fish with coconut rice are on the menu this week. His hobby saves so much on our summer grocery bill!

4. Questions/AW/Rants/Thoughts: I won a weight loss contest DH and I did. I bought a SUP board for summer with my cash. I am pretty excited about it!

5. GTKY. Treat Yo Self. What is one thing you will try to do this week to treat yourself? I'm getting a cut and balayage on Thursday ahead of returning to work:)

Not pivot, but yes, I think they're good! You have to be careful not to over cook them if you're cooking them.

I love them! Like shell said, you only need to barely cook them. Especially if you will be reheating them for lunch. I put a paper towel in the container underneath them for my lunches to absorb the extra liquid that comes out while they sit. I do about one zucchini per lunch. At lot of store carry them already spiralized too if you would rather skip doing that step yourself!

I buy veggies already spiralized, but I should try to do my own.

shellbell This is the one I use. I like that it's compact and can fit in a drawer easily. Kind of a pain in the butt to clean. I buy some already spiralized too from Wegmans when I think about it. They are drier and last longer than the ones I do myself IMO.
