Hey all and Happy Monday!!
 
Had a fun weekend which was really needed.  Saturday I went to a Pot Luck and had fun making new friends and seeing old ones.  This is a new group that I joined a few months ago and will be doing more with.  Sunday was the Super Bowl / Birthday party with more friends and was a blast. 
 
I skipped the gym all weekend and don't feel bad about it.  I wanted to just have fun (not that I don't have fun at the gym though).  Starting today, I'm back to being strict with eating and working out.   Got lots of new things I would like to start doing.
 
Hope everyone has a wonderful day / week!!

I had a great weekend! Band Friday and Saturday nights and Super Bowl party Sunday! Although I ate well Friday and Saturday, I probably drank too much and Sunday evening was pretty much a wash! I did get an hour a half lifting sess in on Saturday and the same time on Zumba yesterday. Sometimes you just have busy, crazy weekends like that though! Back to eating good (and NO drinking!) and working out hard this week!!

Good morning!
 
Ate very poorly this weekend.  Let my womanness take over. Oops.  Got in a great workout on Saturday.  Can't wait to get another awesome workout in tonight.

Checking in on day one of my "purfication week" (no soda/artifical sweeteners, no alcohol, and day one of no smoking!). Saturday the husband and I went on an awesome 30-mile bike ride and we were exhausted by Saturday night, but in a good way! Sunday I definitely overate and drank too much, but I made my own food to overeat so at least I know what was in it. Definitely going to be a tough and rewarding week. Excited to hit the gym for weight training tonight!
Hope everyone is looking forward to the week :)

I was sick all weekend, curled up on the couch with a box of tissues. Getting back out there today and going for a run. 145 days left until I need to fit into the size 10 I'm wearing to my grandparents anniversary party.

Hey, I am new to the group and fairly new to exercise as well. Thought this might be a good group to join as I am learning more about treating my body better. I have already lost about 11 pounds in the last month or so and would like to lose more in a healthy way.
Since I don't work out during the weekends, I decided to work out hard on Friday and went both to a step class and a circuit training one after that. I overindulged in alcohol on Friday (going only slightly over my calorie goal thankfully) and then kept to my goal for the rest of the weekend.  Today, my scale rewarded me with a 1.5 pound loss so that got me pumped and I went to an aerobics class and then I lifted some really light weights for an hour.  Excited for the new week :)
