Thanks for starting this Joolschweets ,!

1)Remind us of your long term goals

- tone up the butt, thighs and tummy ( bathing suit and summer season approaching)
- lose the last 3-5 pounds, although my scale is off so I could already be there

2)How did you get on last week?

- 5 days of exercise : 4 circuit training days and 1 day of Zuma with DD
- I ate healthy during the week, but enjoyed pizza, burger and fries on Friday. Gotta live a little, right?! I'm calling it a win!

3)Goals for the coming week

- eat healthy while in Texas, which is hard to do, but still enjoy the deliciousness in moderation
- circuit training today and tomorrow
- exercise the following three days outside in the warm weather

4)AW/Motivational needs

Bathing suits

5)GTKY: Tell us about a time in your life you felt your best/healthiest? What were you doing to feel that way?

The three- four years before pregnancy ( late 20s/ early 30s). I was sleeping 8-9 hours every night, exercising consistently, constantly walking and climbing up stairs due to living in the city, and at that age, my crazy, partying ways were well behind me.

So, how'd it go this week?

1)Remind us of your long term goals
Just getting in better shape, doing a trail half eventually (fall).

2)How did you get on last week? Ok. Except my friends bought me chocolate for my bday, and we ate out 2 nights in a row.. But I ran 3x!

3)Goals for the coming week: 3 runs, ballet once, and a WOD.

4)AW/Motivational needs:

5)GTKY: Tell us about a time in your life you felt your best/healthiest? What were you doing to feel that way? The first time I took running seriously, I was down to 135 lbs (after kid #2). Running 15 miles per week (no time for that now!)

1)Remind us of your long term goals: Get back into shape, regain my strength, run a faster half marathon.

2)How did you get on last week? Last week was a nice and easy week for me. Got in some runs, some blogilates, and am taking advantage of some shorter runs as I start building mileage for the race. I'm definitely noticing more arm strength, which is nice, core is much more slow coming.

3)Goals for the coming week Just maintaining what I've got going.


5)GTKY: Tell us about a time in your life you felt your best/healthiest? What were you doing to feel that way? This one is complicated for me. The time I was feeling my best, I definitely wasn't at my healthiest. I was doing major restrictive eating and exercising for hours, multiple times a day. But I loved the way I looked and I felt good because of it.

Jumping in because I'm in the room waiting for the doctor now and I had to be weighed in. Ugh..that was awful especially since we want to start TTC asap.

1)Remind us of your long term goals
Lose weight and get healthy

2)How did you get on last week?
I've been eating better and I started with a trainer last week

3)Goals for the coming week
Keep eating better and exercise (at least walk) everyday

4)AW/Motivational needs:
My husband and I motivate each other. We both did really well and lost a significant amount of weight right before I got pregnant with DD and I had a great and healthy pregnancy. So I need to do that now.

5)GTKY: Tell us about a time in your life you felt your best/healthiest? What were you doing to feel that way? A few months before I was pregnant I was walking every day and using MFP to track my food and I also have a Misfit Shine to track steps/activity. That combination did wonderful things. Time to get back to it.

1)Remind us of your long term goals
I mostly just want to keep up what I'm doing now, and in the process tone up a bit more. I'd like to try a half marathon within the next year.

2)How did you get on last week? I'd consider last week a win overall. I was sick, but managed to get in a few workouts and didn't let my diet go off the rails... until the weekend, of course. Stupid birthday parties.

3)Goals for the coming week Get to the gym every day this week and try to make better food choices. DH is finally getting serious about his weight loss and it's a huge help for me because he finally is onboard with healthier meals and snacks.

4)AW/Motivational needs A few girls that I hadn't seen for a few weeks saw me at the gym and told me that I looked great. I feel like I've been working so hard with little results, so that was nice and reassuring.

5)GTKY: Tell us about a time in your life you felt your best/healthiest? What were you doing to feel that way? When DH and I got married. We ate a paleo diet for 4 months and went to the gym most days. We were both so happy and excited too, so emotionally I felt great which certainly helps!
