Re: ***Healthy Living Check In***
How was your week? OK.
Struggles/Successes? Struggles: still snacking like crazy. Success: I went to zumba on Tuesday and plan to go tomorrow morning
Weekend plans (food and/or fitness)? Zumba tomorrow morning and picking up swordfish for dinner. Sunday I'll probably do housework, maybe take the pup for a long walk if it's nice
Did anyone try out the arm workout?? I'm not doing the arm workout

GTKY:
What's your favorite healthy dinner meal? I have a few. I love seafood, so that paired with some fresh veggies is perfect! Although, H needs a starch so I usually make rice or something to go with it. I made this for dinner last night and it was awesome! I added extra veggies and served it over parmesan polenta.
What's your go to healthy snack? I try to make it fruit or veggies. Sometimes it's pretzels or whole grain cheez-its
How often do you weigh/measure yourself? I try to do it once a week, although lately it's been when I remember.
Good Morning Ladies!! Happy Friday

How was your week?
I had a really good week! I'm still doing my Ab and Leg challenges and in my mind I am starting to see results.
Struggles/Successes?
I struggled a bit earlier this week because I was on my period so I felt bloated all the time. Now that that is over with, I am starting to feel really good about my tummy. I still struggle with my eating habits but I'm just remembering it's one step at a time.
Weekend plans (food and/or fitness)?
Nothing too exciting going on this weekend. I'll still be plugging along with my challenges witness-wise. I am hoping that the hubs will want to take the dogs hiking at some point because it is such a nice day today.
Did anyone try out the arm workout??
I haven't

GTKY:
What's your favorite healthy dinner meal?
I don't eat healthy, like at all. I guess maybe marinated chicken kabobs with veggies but the marinade it probably loaded with salt.
What's your go to healthy snack?
Considering that I ate two s'mores and had a bowl of ice cream for dinner last night, I don't have very many healthy snacks at home. I do like fruits and veggies though but H usually eats them before I have a chance.
How often do you weigh/measure yourself?
I try not to weigh myself very often. I don't want to feel really good about myself, get on the scale and have my weight not change or go up. I really just want to tone more than lose weight so I am going to start measuring my waist and thighs starting next week but even that I might not do that often. As long as I feel good then I don't care about the numbers.

I'm sorry you're frustrated and I really hope that it's just a temporary plateau! Just remember that it's not always about the # on the scale, but how you feel about being healthier in general!
Put the scale away for a week (I know it's not easy) and just think about all the good you're doing for your body through eating right and exercising!
Have fun this weekend and don't feel bad about making a few not so healthy choices!!!

That's great that you have a running date! I always felt like when I ran with someone it went by fast because we were always chatting away!
Have fun this weekend!!
