  • How has your progress been this week? 

Meh...  I'm stress eating and we had no power at the house last night so we went out for dinner.

    What is your "plan" (diet, workout regime, etc)? 


Cutting calories, trying to be more active and increase my time on our new indoor rower.

    Best part of your week? 

For the first time EVER I reached 10,000 steps on Saturday on my Garmin Vivofit!

    Worst part of your week? I'm still struggling with the job search.  I'm very comforted to know that we can live on DH's salary but I feel bad that I may not be contributing anything but unemployment checks to our finances.

    QOTW: What are you jamming out to during your workouts right now (song, artist, album, Spotify playlist, Pandora channel, etc.)? I've been using a Megan Trainor radio station on iTunes.

  • Goals? Lose weight, be healthier, look better




    How has your progress been this week? Great!  Last week was birthday week, including 3 dinners out and a party, and I managed to maintain my weight :)



    What is your "plan" (diet, workout regime, etc)? Weight Watchers




    Best part of your week? I had a pretty awesome birthday.



    Worst part of your week? My boss has been a bit cranky and she's not good at handling her emotions.  Mix that with someone like me who is oversensitive and it makes me anxious.

    QOTW: What are you jamming out to during your workouts right now (song, artist, album, Spotify playlist, Pandora channel, etc.)? I'm not working out :\"> But when I do, I have all sorts of new/old/rock/pop/country, etc.

Gym 4 mornings a week, sand volley ball, hiking/run once weekly.
