Health/Fitness Check in - do we still do this?

[pinkaliphant]

Today was my weigh in day. I'm the same weight which I will call a win since I've had some bad weekends in there. I'm still tracking my calories every day and trying for my 2 walks a day. Once the weather is better I'll be doing a long walk after work with the dog and E. Also, I'm considering moving my desk to a standing position so I will stand all day (with and option to sit down with my laptop undocked to the side). 

How's everyone else doing?

I'm doing ok. I get in great workouts on my week days off, but have a really hard time to motivate myself on workdays and weekends.

Eating had been alright, can be way better. I REALLY need to cut down on the wine...

Working out 6 days a week and doing BBM 3.0. Eating is more or less following W30, but weekends are freebies. Also I allow myself one alcoholic beverage a night. Cherhorowitz is going to let me have it, I'm sure.

I haven't weighed myself, but I feel more energetic and I feel like I've at least lost some abdominal bloat.

ETA: B is really committed to helping me tone up. She has yet to let me finish a meal for like the past 3 days. She does not extend the same rules to DH.

In my next life, I'm coming back as a dad.

I started BBM 1.0 today. I even convinced my husband to be my workout buddy. So if I don't fit it in during the day he has to do it with me after Doug goes to bed. I don't like working out in front of my husband so MOTIVATION.

I'm still researching meal plans etc but First thing I'm cutting out is desserts and I'm cutting down to Starbucks once a week. I don't really eat too much junk food usually and I don't drink soda so I'm really going to work on portion size.

I still have to do the measurements and picture bit which I'm not looking forward to. Anyone use her journal set up?

I've been tracking my calories with myfitnesspal and it's really helping me to see exactly how much protein/sugar/fat I'm taking in. Definitely helps me to make wiser choices. I've been getting in 2-3 workouts a week and that's fine with me at this point. I had started herbalife but fell off because I got sick. I'll start back up with that tomorrow. I do 2 shakes a day + healthy snacks and 1 healthy meal. I was already seeing results after a week.

Hey! I am hoping that I can get in today, but I am thinking probably not because DH made a doctor's appointment for his head cold.

I am still down, weight-wise, but I have been depressed and eating my feelings. I need to check myself.

I'm starting a running plan/program to get in shape and be able to run a 1/2 marathon in November. I did my first run/jog/walk last night. The program starts you off ridiculously small so, the first run/walk was only 10 minutes. I felt like ass before I went so I'm glad I did it but am not exactly excited about the whole thing. I have myself to blame for registering but this is the only that's put a fire under my butt to start exercising in over two years so, I just need to get over myself and do it.

I've been doing well with my weight by keeping my portions under control. I don't drink a lot but notice some weight gain if I have a boozy weekend.

I'd love to drop 10-20 lbs but it's not an active goal because I find I sabotage myself and get way too stressed out about my weight if I make it a goal. My thoughts are, if I lose the weight while I start running, great, but no big deal if I don't, as long as I don't gain.

I know it's not time to post a confession but MH and I have cookies almost everyday after Emmett goes to bed. It's not helping either of us but they're so good.

Be strong @mx2 cheese is awesome and probably a bit better for you than cookies.

I made it into the gym and I feel like a new woman!
Andplusalso a guy I haven't seen for 5+ years was there. Who else loves looking way better than they did when they knew someone in the past? Meeee!

Guys. I need help. I'm addicted to cheese.

This made me think of this.

I swear working out can turn your mood around.


Also, +1 on the looking better than in the past. Once I'm all fit and hot (ha ha) I'm going to strut myself around all the high school reunion hangouts.


Lol jk. Sort of.

No you're not.

Because I'd be right there with you

I fee ya. It killed me when we went to a wedding attended by a girl who was sweating DH's balls while we were dating (and who actively tried to break us up...oh to be 21 again)...and I was enormously pregnant. I guess that's its own statement, but I would have rather not looked like a smug walrus.

@mellocello that's awesome! Keep it up.
