I ate a bagel AND a chocolate chip muffin this morning.

At least I had salad with my lunch?

I had pizza for lunch....

At least you had something healthy!

My salad had tilapia on it. Breaded and fried. And my cowokers just HAD to have cake to celebrate my birthday (even though it was last week).

BUT Gals. Here's the thing. Remember that a shitty lunch doesn't necessarily mean you've "ruined it" for the day. Have a healthy dinner

That's a good idea...its our anniversary today. So I do not anticipate that I will be the healthiest tonight....

I'm so not creative when it comes to cooking. I need recipes and pictures to see what it's supposed to look like.

@adulruna, OMG me too! DH goes crazy because I literally follow recipes to a T because I'm paranoid I will mess it up!

Thank you jt2378! We are going to dinner and a movie. Then we have MIL watching DS overnight on Saturday and are taking a day trip on Sunday.

Maybe that should be my plan...I will start on Monday. This check in is going to be great to hole me accountable!

Same here... I need a recipe if I am going to cook. I am not creative at all!

Happy Anniversary doglover31!

I'm going to wing it with this intro because I'm on my phone and if I back up I'll lose what I wrote!

I've always been bigger than other girls my age, I was about 140 at 5'7" in high school and would LOVE to get back to that! I thought I was huge because everyone was 30lbs lighter and 5in shorter. I never really worked out when I was younger, but did some sports occasionally. I have steadily put on weight after each baby and haven't been able to get it off easily. The fourth baby was the worst. I was so in fear of my diet affecting my milk supply, I didn't do anything and am officially at my heaviest. I have stopped bfing and am watching what I eat and exercising hard and often. (I'm actually writing this between reps at the gym!! Go me!)

My plan for this weight loss and fitness journey is plain ol diet and exercise. Excessive protein and low carbs. Long hours at the gym and pushing myself to go further. Also drinking huge amounts of water and a minimum of 12oz before each meal to make me feel full faster.

I am sometimes using my fitness pal app but I find it hard to track exercise because it doesn't calculate everything. I have yet to see a huge change on the scale but I have noticed a difference in definition in my arms and legs and a little around the middle. I am only 2-2 1/2 weeks in. It's going to be a loooonnggggg journey but I need to do this. I feel so much better when I make it to the gym. I have felt awful all week because I somehow hurt my arm and had sidelined myself until I felt better. I think it was carrying the baby and toddler and all of their nonsense. Anyway, that's my novel. Back to the workout!

Haha. Thanks! I need the rest or I'll die! Although the twig on the elliptical in the other room is totally kicking my ass. Good thing I'm on the weights. ?

Edited because words are hard

@lildiamondeyes, you know having a baby turns your life inside out and all bets are off when baby gets here! That said, the more you start developing healthy habits during pregnancy, the easier they'll be when #2 gets here! Keep walking! Also, if i were you, I'd politely ask my husband to take a chill pill... and I'd zumba my pregnant but off. You can dial back the intensity to a level that comfortably gives you a fun workout!

AS for childcare... I'm 100% positive that my dad's favorite couple of hours every week are Saturdays when he watching DD while I'm at the gym!!

[thelittlesrunmylife]

judyblume14 @lildiamondeyes I love Zumba! My gym is actually doing a Zumba/runners night tonight. 2 hours of Zumba with my mama, aunt and cousin tonight. None of them have tried it so it should be fun. They'll be feeling it tomorrow!

[judyblume14]

@lildiamondeyes, my husband was the same way. I wanted to be as active as possible throughout my pregnancy, so there was some tension between for sure at first!

Don't do it alone. Zumba with you little one! My girl loves being held while her dad and i dance around!

[judyblume14]

thelittlesrunmylife, @lildiamondeyes, I am SUCH a sweater. And zumba can be a crazy workout if you really get into it. I remember one of the first times I went to a class, I was sweating so bad that the tip of my ponytail was collecting sweat droplets off the back of neck, and when I turned my head, I heard the woman next to me go "ugh, gross!"... because I whipped sweat in her face. Oopsie doopsie.

I'm the same way. But hey, that's just telling me it's a good workout! This is something I would have peed my pants laughing about had I witnessed it.
