Good morning, ladies!

The weekend was rough for me and I hate not having the time to get on my laptop and log my cals.  But Monday is always a nice fresh start. I have a heck of a day with meetings planned, so it looks like I will be doing a workout tonight after my son goes to bed. I have strep throat but am on some good meds, so other than being tired, I don't feel too bad.  At least I'm not contagious anymore. My husband and I were in a fight all weekend, so not great motivation and I really had to fight the emotional eating.  We're going to be ok, just financial issues. 

I parked far this morning, even though I wore heels and took the stairs.  It always starts the day right for me.  Remember your water today!  Anyone else struggle with water on the weekends?  Weekends seem to do me in.  I forget meds, water, cal logging, the whole nine yards.  Any tips to staying on track on the weekends?

Have a healthy and fit day!

I forgot to answer the posts from yesterday!  I have read a lot of info on the positive effects of drinking green tea.  There is even some studies that say it may help boost your metabolism.  Since I have no Thyroid, I can use all the help I can get!  At the very least, the green tea has valuable antioxidants, which is good.  At the very most, it may help shed some calories a tiny bit faster.

I think we just look for this thread each day and keep on replying.  Sorry, I'm new at this too.  Anyone know a better way to get on this thread daily?

 

Welcome, mom of four!  Gracious!  I thought my house was crazy!

All are welcome!  What should we call our thread so we can recognize it?  How about FitMommas on a mission?

Small victories count:  parked in far corner of parking lot and took the 4 flights of stairs to my floor instead of the elevator!  Off to a great start of the day!  Already had my some green tea and I'm signing up for a 10K today!

Have a healthy and fit day, Ladies!

Sounds good, Karian.  I remember after having my son I was out of control with sweets for at least a year.  I was afraid I'd developed diabetes or something.  It did pass, but it took a diet of shakes to do it.  I drank shakes everyday for 2 weeks and it sure cured my sweet tooth!  Here's my plan:

1) 2 high intensity workouts per day (30 min each)

2) More protein, less refined carbs

3) No carbs right after workouts

4) Drink green tea

5) More fruits, veggies and beans

Good luck to us!
