I'm down 3.4 pounds!!
I'm sure part of it is the daily coffee (and donut) I gave up. I found out the coffee I was drinking was 1/3 of the total points I'm supposed to drink in a day! Oops!!!

I'm so happy for you. The first few pounds off is so motivating! I have switched my sugar and cream for milk and Truvia, it takes a bit to get used to but it's good.

I'm joining the healthy living board in another BBM challenge. If anyone is interested, come join us. Starting the day after labor day. I think we're doing an older one since no one loves 6.0

@klongoria or anyone else. What's your favorite overnight oats recipe? I want to make a batch.. do you make the same flavor every day or switch it up daily?

slenle, Mine is pretty simple. I just do blueberry banana with a little bit of cinnamon and almonds for crunch. I use almond milk. 1/2c oats, 1c almond milk, 1 tbls chia seeds, then however many blueberries and bananas I want. I add the fruit then, but I know some people prefer to wait to add the fruit the day of.

Same, but if I making it for the week I just make them plain with the milk, oats, and chia and then change up the fruit each morning so I don't get bored. Apples and cinnamon taste really nice with it, or dried fruit with chopped nuts.

I just signed up for a 5k at the end of October. DH and my dad run it every year and C runs in in the kids race, which is .5miles. I was just going to run with C but I think I want to try to do the big race. I've been running for like 3 weeks so this is totally nuts.

I just dropped $1200 on a pair of bikes and a bike trailer for MH, Myself, and S. I'm having lunch, going for a pedicure, then going back to the bike shop to pick them up. Then meeting MH after work for our first ride. Hopefully we keep it up and this wasn't a waste of money! I need to make changes and this seems less me a good place to start. Activity in my life is needed! I feel like a lard ass these days!

I'm scatter brained today.

lfig, I need to get a bike! I'm thinking I'll just do a second hand one because I really think I'd just use it around the neighborhood or short rides. MH has a bike and we have two bike trailers!

lfig we bought new bikes this spring too. It's been great! We went for about an 8 mile ride last night and stopped at the park and had a picnic for dinner. It felt good to be out doing something rather than at home cooking and then cleaning up. However, I've also made it tradition to bike to get the kids from daycare on Fridays, then bike to the FroYo shop. ha! It evens out, right?

jewels, that's AWESOME!!!! Also, were you drinking like a fancy coffee drink or something? Dunkin' Donuts caramel coffee with milk and sugar. I didn't realize it was a 'flavor swirl' not just flavored coffee!!

I'm not even exaggerating- I got a medium most days and it literally was 1/3 of my daily points. I mean.... it's good. But not that good. I'm trying to just switch to tea for my caffeine. We'll see how it goes.

Well fuck. I love my coffee.. Get the shot, not the swirl. It's not quite as sweet but honestly the swirl is enough calories/sugar for a full meal.

Lean cuisines suck. I have had so many snacks today it's ridiculous. I need to bring healthy snacks so I stay out of the office chip cabinet.
