[alioop1028]

I'll start:

1. GAME PLAN - I was supposed to be walking after work with LO and trying to fit in yoga. Nope! I've done nothing. *sigh* I will walk the park this weekend though.

2. BONUS POINTS - I've eaten healthy so at least there's that. Salads for lunch and light dinners.

3. FAIL - Not doing any physical activity at all this week. Does picking up a baby count? Haha

@lildiamondeyes,your pregnant and need to eat!!!!

[jt2378]

1. GAME PLAN: I was supposed to walk with DD and have a couple of times so yay?

2. BONUS POINTS: No desserts besides the one smore on Monday! haha

3. FAIL: Still not eating as cleanly as I should but also worried I won't be getting enough calories for BF so basically just can't get out of my own way right now

1. GAME PLAN: Goal was to take walks with Dd twice a day and hit the gym on my days off. Its been raining all week, so no walks. I did go to the gym two days and walked 2 miles each day.

2. BONUS POINTS: I hit my steps goal twice this week! And have 52,000 steps in for the week, the goal is 70,000.

3. FAIL: Eating way to much, but I am hungry!

That's awesome still! Good for you.

When I was BF that was the hardest thing to do. It's so hard to eat well when your hungry all the time because of how many calories you're supposed to eat to produce.

Game plan: I had big aspirations for hitting goals on the elliptical and making it to the gym almost every day. My foot has failed me. I missed two days and am keeping things light as far as walking and high impact but managed to make it in for some weights last night and a few minutes on the bike but it's not enough for my goals.

Bonus: I did ok with eating and only had one day that I let myself go a little. I did stick with portion sizes but allowed pizza and a little cake for my dads birthday.

Fail: so many things. Here's to hoping that my freaking foot heals over the weekend.

1. Game plan - I think it was just to eat solid food after being sick, haha. I did accomplish that.

2. Bonus points - none to give me this week. There is always next week!! I do finally feel normal now.

3. Fail - well...lots of fail. I didn't really focus on my food, need to still up my water intake and I didn't exercise one bit.

[jt2378]

designaddiction, you were sick, totally understandable!!

thelittlesrunmylife, you might need to get your foot checked, sounds like it could be a stress fracture like I mentioned before.

1. GAME PLAN - I wanted to walk 2+ miles everyday and I did about 3 all but yesterday and today.

2. BONUS POINTS- I'm almost done a deep clean of my house and yard projects. I put in a lot of scrubbing, purging and reorganization. Hopefully that burned some calories. Lol.

3. FAIL- I had ice cream a couple nights and tonight will probably be takeout since we have the bbq tomorrow.

Nice! Come do my house now. Haha

[doglover31]

1. I did make healthier eating choices. But did not exercise at all.

2. Umm I had a healthier lunch today- grilled fish and quinoa pilaf.

3. Fail- I had a bagel and do it holes this morning on top of my normal breakfast. Ugh that was terrible. I just want to eat all the time!

jt2378 I think it is getting a little better, but if I'm still having issues in a few days I am definitely headed in! I actually think it is a littleish bone that is popping out of place and is common amongst runners and has to do with alignment of the leg, ankle and foot. I have problems with the ligaments in my knee on that side from a previous injury so for the alignment to be off makes sense. It's awful that I can actually feel a pop....

1. GAME PLAN- my game plan was to drink more water, eat a real lunch instead of snacking, and exercise 3x. I did awesome with the water and eating, but didn't work out once.

2. BONUS POINTS- I started eating healthier all around, not just at lunch.

3. FAIL- I could not motivate my lazy self to exercise. That goal may change though...I'm losing weight faster than I'd like, and I don't know if I can consume enough calories to maintain both a healthy weight and a good milk supply if I start an exercise routine.

Sometimes pains like this can be related to shoe size. Just a thought but when I run I wear shoes a size bigger. I developed a stabbing pain on the top of my foot a year ago and was worried it was another stress fx. Since I was seeing an ortho already for hip issues he checked it out. No f2f but suggested I change my shoe size. Rest until the pain went away (at least a week) and new shoes and the pain never came back.

Let'er rip on how you've been doing this week on your:

1. GAME PLAN: not to catch my husband'a stomach bug and to run 3 times this week.

2. BONUS POINTS: am currently deep cleaning my house and sweating like crazy. Has to count for something

3. FAIL: didn't run a single mile. Maybe next week I'll aim for once and work my way up. I will cite basically being a single parent this week as hubby was sick and then was out of town as a tiny bit of an excuse.

I've been watching that also! Good to know I'm not looking too hard at possibilities of cause. I think it's a pair of sandals that I need to avoid and strangely not my gym shoes. Sucks that I have to wear basically tennis shoes or similar in freaking 90* weather. Guess I'll just hide at home!

@beckaroo, great jonb with the mileage!
melw629, maybe instead of a rigorous fitness routine, you can just get moving by taking walks to get fresh air? Definitely strike a balance with your calories though. Not getting enough can not only eff with your supply, but it is DRAINING.

My last week went like this:

Game Plan - met my goal of crossfit x3
Bonus Points - for pull-ups
Fail - food. Ice cream, french fries, eating out... vacation is rough on a diet, no?

[judyblume14]

@beckaroo, it was great. Two days we were on the beach for about 3 or 4 hours! We have a GREAT pop-up tent
 (<= link!)
She napped in the tent. Liked when we dipped her in the ocean water. Played in the baby pool we brought. I mean, to be totally honest, when she'd get fussy or hungry, it was kind of stressful. I nursed her on the beach and it was hot and sweaty, but not awful.

We played in the big pool in this float  (<= link!)

We went to the boardwalk and she got on the merry-fo-round with me, and the choo choo woth her dada. It was fucking adorable.

No Old Time photos, it was too hot to mess with that.

We went to a pretty nice dinner each noght and each restaurant was even more accommodating of a baby than the last. We picked the right places!

[designaddiction]

judyblume14 I totally need to buy that float! Did she like being in it?

[jt2378]

We have that float from my SIL and haven't tried it yet! of course this weekend looks crappy so can't try it out yet, boo hoo!

Loved it. I think I got it for $25 at Babies R Us, but used a coupon.  I think I saw it for $18 at target maybe?
