Health & Fitness Thread - Weekend of 4-2

Lots for me as well...

-I am going to skip running today and do a BBM cardio workout instead
-We had two 11 year old boys and one 16 year old stay the night last night, so as soon as they are all up I am making pancakes
-We live in a log cabin with wood beams, ceilings, and walls. They need a good vacuuming today. It is a ton of work! That will then result in the need for a thorough dusting.
-I am going to try to make it to the nursery for some shrubs for a bare spot, but not sure if anything is in yet.
-DS has baseball at 4:30.

Good morning girls! brandy327 , glad the familly is on the road to recovery. And TankTop , I use a keyfob. I just put it on my wrist. LOVE it. I have several. I also use it at the grocery store and shopping so I don't lose my keys. They are always on my wrist. I buy them on etsy. There are lots of sellers. The person I purchased from a few years ago no longer sells them but there are many sellers that make them.


And we have already walked the dogs so now I hope to paint and play today. I have laundry too but I can do that inbetween. Hubby is grilling all weekend so we will have yumminess for dinner the next two nights.

Enjoy the day girls.

I have a ponytail holder on it and I loop that on my bra strap above my boob and I tuck it under the strap. It would drive me crazy if it bounced all around while I ran.
I also have workout pants and shorts with a pocket for it, that's the best option.

I've been wondering this too. None of my comfy work out clothes have pockets and I hate that. What am I supposed to do with my keys? I really don't want to buy new clothes just because of that. I'll look up those key holder things on Etsy.

Yay weekend!

Took DD to Disney Springs today for some rainy fun. We bowled at Splitsville and hit up Goofy's Candy Shop. I got two of their cookies (the raspberry white chocolate are my favorite) and ate half of each. They are big and dense and soooo good.

DD finished the 4th Harry Potter book last night so we are dried off and watching it now.

TankTop I put my key on a small clip with a whistle and my pepper spray.

That is a good idea. I will look at my mace and see if there is a way to attach it.

chaosisapony and brandy327 I can't wait to celebrate with both of you!

Hello all! Hope you are having a great Saturday. I'm late getting to the thread. I have been incredibly lazy since I got back from my morning walk. The last two months of weekends have been packed full of activities so I purposely didn't schedule anything this Saturday so I could be lazy. I have taken a nap, cleaned out some kitchen cupboards and made a grocery list. I am just about to head to my parent's house for a birthday dinner for my aunt. She's on WW so luckily it will be a pretty healthy meal! That's not always the case when my mom is cooking. Tomorrow I am going to the beach for a friend's birthday so I anticipate a lot of running around in the sand. And maybe even a volleyball game!

B - Joe O's with 2% milk, sliced strawberries, and pineapple juice
L - 2 shrimp tacos
D - no idea!
S - string cheese and 2 small pieces of Korean pork jerky

I like to freeze the whipped Yoplait yogurts for a treat.

Thanks for the validation ladies! Lol! I knew I was right.

PEArfect way to go on the exercise! Keep up the good work.

I eat more. I pre-track it and make good decisions about what I eat, but I figure sometimes you just need more food. On days we are less hungry, we're happy about it and don't force ourselves to eat at the top of the calorie range, right? Why wouldn't it be also true that some days we're going to be more hungry?

I do try to wait a bit - as you did - and make sure it is physical hunger. I've found though that when I'm hungry and I try to force myself to not go over my planned calories, it almost always results in an even bigger "cheat" later. Same with cravings, I finally learned to eathe what sounds good when it sounds good (within reason), otherwise I end up eating everything else and feeling dissatisfied until I finally eat what I was feeling like. For me, satisfying that urge reasonably sooner helps it go away and I can move on vs obsessing about being hungry or wanting something in particular for many hours or days.

Also, over the course of a week my calories almost always average out to where I wanted them, even if a day or two was higher than I'd planned. The day measure of calories is somewhat arbitrary, if you're on track over the course of the week it will be fine.

I have days like that andI just give in. Figure my body is asking for more food for a reason and I can't stand that constantly hungry feeling. I make sure to make decent food choices for the extra and I haven't noticed those days (or weeks!) setting me back any.
