GTKY:
How often do you eat out for lunch? i used to alot but now I am so broke that I dont
What are your must haves for snacks at work? pretzels
What time of day do you prefer to exercise? right after work or I wont go
How was everyone's weekend? Good! A good mix of fun, work, family and fitness
Struggles/Successes? Successes, I am staying on my goal of at least 3 fitness activities a week, and being better at remembering to log food. Yesterday was fathers day and we celebrated my mom's bday, so that was a gongshow foodwise. It made me kind of realize that really I should have a day that I Just don't bother logging or feeling guilty about what I eat, because not only did I eat way to much, but because I was busy I forgot to log most of it...it would be better to not log at all so that it doesn't work into my weekly averages at all. So from now on I think I will take my day off as a "freebie" day. (more sustainable)
Plans for the week (food)? Plans for the week (exercise)? FINALLY starting to run, so my plan for food is that I bough a lot of greens so hopefully throw some more salads in the mix, and I plan to run Monday-wed-fri and do something active tues thurs (walking or zumba or something fun that's not running).

How was everyone's weekend?
I had a good weekend! Spent time with the hubs, the dogs, and my dad
I got sunburnt on Friday while hanging out in my hammock but I'm OK with that because it was a beautiful day!
Struggles/Successes?
I haven't struggled lately. I'm doing really good and I feel really good which is the most important thing. I'm keeping up with my Ab challenge, 17 days down, and I went for a mile run tonight. I'm feeling so good and I hope this feeling continues
Plans for the week (food)?
You all know I don't eat healthy! On the menu this week is... brats, burgers, onion rings, spaghetti, chicken kabobs, chicken noodles w/ gravy, and pancakes
Plans for the week (exercise)?
Ab challenge and running!

I loves anything crunchy & anything sweet

I typically run right after work and do my Ab challenge during my evening TV shows
