Nice job, I.wanna.be.cute!

Great job, I.wanna.be.cute!
Good start for me this week, down 5.4. First week is always good like that though. I think for the most part I am making good choices regarding food; being thoughtful, which I think is what it will take. I am slowly ramping up the activity. I love to lift weights, but I need to mix cardio and weights this time more balanced because I tend to put on muscle very easily, and slack on my eating plans. I missed the questions! Here goes - Where are you from and where do you live now? From Maine, live just north of Houston TX - How old are you? 43 - What do you do for a living? Mom - What's your favourite thing about summer? swimming - Any vacations planned for summer? Maine to visit family in June - Favourite food to eat in summer? Grilled steak - Favourite drink to drink in summer? margarita - What's your food plan? calories: 1800, macros around 40/40/20 - What's your fitness plan? walking x3, weights x3 - What are your hobbies? Reading... - List 3 things you like about yourself 1. Love my ability to weather ever storm without getting too riled. 2. Happy with my parenting skills 3. I think I'm a good friend |
Welcome newcomers, congrats on the weight lost so far and great seeing more people filling out the get-to-know-you form!!
Quick announcement! I've decided to remove the forum column in the spreadsheet and will now only be making a chart for everyone involved in the challenge. If this disappoints you I'm truly sorry, but this will save a lot of time for me in the future when making charts/badges. I hope you'll consider this even more motivation to get into the overall charts week by week! As for me, day one is going well so far. I've just done my first T25 workout (Cardio) and boy it was a killer. Can't believe I sweat so much in just 25 minutes. Feeling positive about keeping this up since it's very doable to fit into my schedule, especially since it's rainy outside right now! I'm about to note down my measurements and I might even take some before pictures. |
I hope I'm not too late :)

Checking in for Week #1! Only down 2.8 lbs for this first week, so not as high as some of you, but still a solid start in general. I've just gotten over a little plateau stall, so I am just happy it is starting to move again...lol. Good job and welcome to everyone checking in so far! :wave:
------------------------ Riestrella: I live down in Columbus, so not far from you at all! As for work, it will depend on the job market in Arizona (which is where we're moving in a little over a month and will be staying for the next few years), but I have contemplated going back to work on/finishing up my abandoned Psychology degree path to work in the social services sector with kids or possibly switching gears to go into nursing. And, I don't mind the removal of the forum segregation on the charts...whatever saves you some time while tackling all of this is all good to me! :yes: workinglikeadog: I think I will. :) If nothing else, I may try an instructional video course to see if it's something I could keep up with before venturing further into it. I am so shy that it would be breaking a lot of comfort zone boundaries to do it with other people until I feel more confident, but I suppose that is part of the thrill of learning something new! How did you first get into it when you learned it in the past? I.wanna.be.cute, DayDreamer26:, & shea5: Wow -- awesome losses, you guys!! :cheer3: |
Rie, that T25 sounds awesome! Good job on getting it done and fitting it in your day. I really need to look into that. I wish I could get back my love for exercise that came out of nowhere in November and is now nowhere to be found...

Rie, I like it better without the forum column, I even changed the forum column since this place is more active than 20-something. And even better if it helps you to save time. No problem ^u^ |
