Feel better, love. I'll post it next week if you need.

@boxerific,hope you feel better soon! For whoever takes over, I'd love to join in.

How did you do with your goals this week? Honestly, my goal this week is to eat all the junk food in the house so I won't be tempted to eat it next week when officially start my Workout Challenge on Monday with a bunch of ladies from my BMB.

What goals do you have this week? I went for a walk/run (doing the Couch to 5K training since I haven't gone running since before I got pg in May of last year) with the baby, my two boys, and DH. The boys and DH rode their bikes and had a blast. I'm hoping to do that again Thursday, but at this point, it really depends on how much sleep I get the night before... Also, just got my new Fitbit (I lost the tracker to my first one when we moved...), so that's really going to help me keep track of my calories burned and food intake.

What challenges get in your way of success? all the junk food in the house!!! I'm terrible at self control when I know there is chocolate and/or candy in the house. I have got to stock up on some healthier snacks, but I have such a hard time finding things I like - I don't like wasting my money on something no one in the house will eat...

MoreThanSparrows I love junk food, too. I buy myself one "bad" treat (I like ice cream a lot so I get the Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, frozen greek yogurt, or fruit popsicles) and the rest is healthy stuff. I buy myself apples, mandarin oranges, baby carrots, trail mix with just fruits and nuts, chewy granola bars, grapes, and cut veggies like bell pepper or cucumbers. I've also found that having oatmeal for breakfast helps me to avoid snacking quite as much during the day. At night I either have my ice cream treat or some fruit or trail mix if I'm feeling like snacking. Once my snack is gone I brush my teeth so I am deterred from eating more even if it's only like 7:30.

How did you do with your goals this week?

Much better. Drank my water most days, ate my veggie meals, and even made it all the way through my zumba class without skipping any songs. Eating the weekend wasn't great, but we were celebrating our anniversary so it's all good.

What goals do you have this week?

Walk once a day assuming the rain stays away, go to zumba even though my mom wont be going with me (she is my motivator still), no cookies.

What challenges get in your way of success?

Being lazy and making excuses for myself. Like "oh I can have two cookies because I went grocery shopping alone" or "I was up with the baby for an hour last night so I deserve to rest today."

Hi ladies~

I did ok last week. I wanted to add more cardio, and I did. I certainly judge myself after workouts because they used to be a lot more intense, and I gave myself 60-90 minutes, but now I try to get something done in 45. I am just focusing on health because of the upcoming fertility treatments, but still feel like my workouts are wimpy compared to my pre baby workouts.

I told DH that once we are done trying/ having another, I want to make it more of a priority than I do now. I think chronic injuries are another challenge, and I need to take better care of them. DH would tell me to schedule an appointment with the chiropractor, and I keep putting it off because I always seem to put Tate before everything when sometimes I don't have to.

Next week's goal is to continue clean eating, 3-4 workouts, and schedule an appointment with my chiropractor. My parents are here for two weeks, and yesterday I had pizza and cookies- so not my thing! I need to tap the brakes on the crappy foods not normally in my fridge!

How did you do with your goals this week? I sucked at being active this week. I worked the nights we had Zumba class and then it got cancelled on night cause of ice. I haven't been in 2 weeks. I still try to walk a mile at least every other day but I know that only does so much. Guess it's better than being a couch potato!

What goals do you have this week? Keep eating like I am but be more active. If I can't go to Zumba then make myself do something at home!

What challenges get in your way of success? Work! It's always work. But I did my weekly weigh in for the weight loss program me and DH joined and it said I was down 3.8 lbs since last week. I weighed twice cause I didn't believe it. I did not plan to lose that much in a week but I'm thinking it's mostly water weight or something. Anyway my scale at home isn't exactly showing the same thing so who knows.

QOTW: I'm sorry your in survival mode! I hope things calm down soon!

@boxerific, I've done the c25k before, and ran my first 5k with a personal best time. My goal is to work my way up to running the Chosen marathon, or half, depending on how it goes, in November.

I LOVE my Fitbit! I have it linked with My Fitness Palo it tracks my calories in and out, steps, distance, and sleep. I had one previosly, but lost the tracker when we moved, so I had to buy a new one. I figure one day I will find the original one and then DH can have one.

wifey I can't message you for some reason. Do you want to take over? Team up? Neither? I'm up for whatever. If you want to take this to inbox try messaging me maybe?

unringthebell, Hey lady! Yes, I am happy to take over, or alternate weeks if you want to participate in that way. I'll post this Monday 3.16, if you want to post the next week, 3.23?

i will also PM you to test, so we can communicate that way too, if needed.
