The Daily Chat

Spent all day in the kitchen yesterday cooking, found the yummiest baked donut recipe! I'm sure I ate too much, but I did not eat as much as I wanted lol pretty proud of myself

No challenges, this team is barely active. I would love to do a challenge though

Hello Everyone. I just recently started getting back on track. I just wanted to reintroduce myself. I am Angela age 28 mother of 4 and I work full time and am also going to school part-time to be a registered nurse. I am ready to get this done this time and start being a better example for my family. Do we currently have any challenges going on this month?

Baby has been sick since last Friday, fever, runny nose, cough recently developed into an ear infection. So my life has been hectic, plus a bunch of other family drama just beating me down.

Hello everyone! How have things been going? Goodness, my life got crazy and hectic there for a little while! I even deviated from my healthy lifestyle plan a little, but I'm back and ready to get back on track! Great job ladies on the accomplishments!

Keep up the great work!

20 mile ride yesterday!!!!!!
Then I came home and ate everything in sight lol

how is everyone?

Almost Friday!! Today our company is doing its safety meeting with lunch provided. Kind of feel like I'm getting jacked out of my paid lunch, plus now I have to sit with everyone and eat the sandwich they bought and a bag of chips. When my sandwiches are so much better and healthier. I would just take my own but it's already noticed how I always skip the donuts etc
People act like its a sin to be healthy

It's midweek and the end of the month is approaching. I feel like August was a bust but I really did have a lot going on and I didn't plan around it. September is going to be great and I am looking forward to the fall. Fall has always been my favorite season!

Have a great day!

Tried something new for dessert tonight froze a banana then blended it into "ice cream" tossed some cocoa covered almond on mine but you can top it with anything that goes well with banana,
I was pretty happy with it

It was a great weekend too! I accomplished a goal, I rode my bike from our house all the way to the top of the canyon trail and back took the long way into town (I feel the shorter way is unsafe) Then a even longer way home (all the downhill made me feel energized) It was 18 miles round trip had like 600 ft elevation gain I felt like a rock star

Welcome to the weekend! Let the laziness begin! (Except from workouts of course!)

I hope so, she loves the stroller so hopefully the bike will be the same.

Yay! That will be so much fun!

Chaos no busy yes
Good news is we bought the baby her first bike helmet YAY got to get the trailer out and cleaned up

How is everyone doing? Man this week has been crazy! Anyone else experience this? Everything has just been pure chaos for me this week lol. Sorry I haven't been on here for a couple days.

Hope everyone is doing good and achieving their goals! Keep doing good ladies!

Very resourceful you are! That's great you have your daughter on board with the muffins! I find it amazing that kids will usually eat healthy stuff if it is disguised lol. Those do sound yummy! You should post the recipe on one of the boards :) I'm sure everyone would love it!

That was us the last few years, my husband worked out of state and my job was 50-60 hours a week.
With all the life changing that happened last year we are both home more, and well a lot more broke so garden it was lol
We have pretty much stopped by snack foods for our lunches too we buy ingredients and make our own. I have a freezer full of muffins, cookies, pancakes and various types of granola like bars. Lots of zucchini muffins yesterday lol on a whim I bought some crystalized ginger ended up making some chocolate zucchini muffins with it WOW My daughter took one bite and requested I make another batch.

Good job! Yum fresh veggies are my favorite! I miss having a garden. We have been way too busy this year :( Next year we are planting again!

Back down a pound so maintaining well I suppose. Going to try and get some garden veggies prepped and frozen today so much zucchini!

Staying strong this time and following through with my weight loss plan! How's everyone else doing?

Don't be so hard on yourself. You are doing a great job and we cannot let one bad day ruin all your accomplishments. Just brush it off and declare tomorrow will be a better day! Keep pushing yourself :)

Good job on those workouts! I have also been consistent this week with working out every day which usually I find excuses as to why I'm not going to. Keep up the great work! You rock!

no workout today, pretty sure I over ate too. Some days I feel like I'll never get my eating under control.

So I had a slice and a half, my oldest daughter couldn't finish hers and I couldn't let it go to waste... Starving children in Africa and all that.
Anyway I did manage to get a workout in, 6 days in a row of working out! It's been awhile since I've accomplished that and feels good. I miss the feel good of a good workout.
I think tomorrow I will do yoga

Hope everyone is doing great today! Woohoo, half-way through the week and day 3 of my circuit training workouts! Really feeling the burn now (I can barely sit or stand) but it is 100% worth it to get back to a healthy weight! Happy sparking team!

How sweet of you to make your sister a birthday cake and make sure she is taken care of :) You are obviously a very loving and thoughtful person!
Great goals! I too need to hold myself more accountable for what I am eating throughout the day! Keep doing your best and it will only get easier! You got this!

My goals for tomorrow are to be mindful of what I'm eating and leg day
I made my sister a carrot cake for her birthday (she is a widow 2 years now and I like to make sure someone makes her a cake) The obstacle will be only eating one slice, then of course finding time to workout with lunches, dinner, bath time, and a trip to my sisters

Hi everyone! I would like us to get a daily chat going to inspire and encourage one another! This is where we can discuss our obstacles and successes as well as check in everyday to say hello :)
