I had to struggle all day as i was a whisker away yesterday and i needed to hold my phone to take photo and hating that extra weight. Now i can eat my meatballs I saved from last night. Oh I feel full now.

About to weigh in, and I’m confident I’ve reached my goal. I have been absent posting and commenting here because things have gotten pretty tumultuous lately. Unexpectedly evicted from the apartment we’ve been in for 5 years. Even though the landlord gave us a long letter explaining his decision and reassuring us we were perfect tenants and he’s enjoyed having us here, appreciated our care of his property, and loved watching our boys grow, we were only given 30 days to find a new living situation. That somehow feels a bit like a punishment. It’s very stressful, and my anxiety is through the roof. 😵?💫
Typically I’m an emotional eater, so this could have derailed me. I’d love to say I stayed strong and made healthy choices in the face of my struggle, but the truth is that I’ve simply lost my appetite and in fact have had to force myself to eat even the bare minimum. 😞
So, I’ve made my goal and then some. At least I won’t lose my $ at a time when I’ll need it more than I expected to.
But I definitely DON’T recommend the eviction diet. 😔

I used to be able to do 5 miles on the elliptical and barely break a sweat. When I went back to the gym exactly 2 months ago, I set a goal for myself to hit 5 miles again by the end of this year. Today, I did 3.5 miles -- and had to stop myself because I could have kept going. Looking forward to killing my goal!

It’s only week two, but I’m making massive progress already! Sticking to my plan of water first, veggies most. Tracking every bite. :) got my workout in, but still need steps for today since the workout was a lifting circuit!

3 Eggs and grilled tomatoes for breakfast💓

Ate too well Friday night. ????? I got trapped in a cookie bag left on kitchen counter. I drank a few beers at the pool. I did exercise 4 times and did a bike ride at 6AM to the track. Did cartwheel video to compete against an 8 3/4 year old girl who didn’t believe I could. Let’s go!

Happy Monday, everyone! It’s the start of Week 2, and you've all done an amazing job getting here.

To kick things off, here's a fun fact you might not know: a serving of strawberries (about 8) contains more Vitamin C than an entire orange. That's right—the little red berry is a nutritional powerhouse!

What’s a healthy snack you're going to try this week?

- More strawberries!
- A different fruit, like an apple or a pear.
- Something savory, like a handful of almonds or some pretzels.
- I'm going to have a full-on feast! (healthy, of course!)

Let's crush this week together!
