1: Workouts: I've been walking 3-4 days a week after DD goes to bed with the dog. Its just around the neighborhood but I feel so much better body wise. Not so achy but I've gotten horrible shin splints from my casual walks. Food: I'm trying to really cut back the carbs which is helping me feel better.
2: Food: staying with my salads for lunch and away from the carbs. Workouts: continue walking at night and maybe add in an extra night.
Bonus: I love the water and want to try and get back on my SUP.
Food - has been pretty decent. I use MFP and my goal is 1200 calories a day, most days thats totally fine, but if I am hungry, I listen to my body and eat more. I try to never eat my workout calories, and so far, it's working. I am down 10 lbs in 6 weeks.
Workouts - I am doing BBG and while I HATE the strength stuff, this is probably the longest I have stayed on a strength based program. I am a cardio girl through and through. But I am doing it, so I guess that counts for something!
NSV - I've had two people tell me my face looks like I've lost weight, so that feels good.

Food - I do great on a plan. If I eat breakfast at home,and bring my lunch and we have a solid meal plan for the week and I have lots of healthy snack options junk food or fast food isn't even a little tempting. But god almighty, the minute I run out of healthy snacks it's like all I can think about its McD's fries or an Almond Joy. So really, grocery shopping is the key to my staying on track.
Workouts - on to the next week of BBG. The moves are getting harder and I am just doing my best. I can definitely tell that I am getting stronger. Week one I could not do ONE straight leg sit up and now I can pop up 10-15 no problem!
Bonus - we live 3 miles from Lake Michigan so we have lots of walking trails and some really great hiking options. We love going to play at the beach in the evenings when it cools down.
I started back to the HIIT camp last week and am going three days a week at 4:45am. I feel SO MUCH BETTER.
I’m at my goal weight and hope now to tone. My cardiologist said I should be fine to workout after my stress test so I am ignoring the tech telling me to wait at my echocardiogram.
I did meet DH for lunch and we went for ice cream after. We are doing a date a week now and it’s nice, but so bad for me!
In summer I love to be outside. Same for Spring. DD and I are kayaking Galveston Bay as part of her birthday trip Memorial Day weekend and I cannot wait. Bring on the beach.

I have recently switched from walking on sidewalks (concrete) to walking on the road (asphalt) and my shin splits are so much better! I never even thought about it until DH pointed it out that asphalt is much softer.
I’m officially fat, so starting trying to lose weight this week.
I’ve had a year of DS’s therapies and another year of my medical issues, so hopefully those are over with and I can finally work on weight loss. Damn you Girl Scout cookies!

1. Recap of the week Food: mostly pizza
Workouts: next to nothing
Miscellaneous: This past week, both girls had stomach bugs for about 4 days, my H was out of town, and i was barely treading water. In general, lately, I've been relatively consistent with workouts (4 or 5 a week), but my diet has been shittier than shit. And it shows both in the way my clothes fit, and the fact that the numbers on the scale are those which I haven't seen since pregnancy. Oof.
