The fun's over! It's time for an Easter (Sunday, March 31) Challenge!

[SassyAshley]

Still working on it, come Saturday will be 2 weeks of this lovely summer cold I have. Right now my focus is on my work lunches. I am thinking if I work on one meal at a time this will be easier. I am quite proud of myself I have worked chickpeas into my diet which is a huge step for me as I cannot eat most beans due to texture issues but I have found my pickling in a salad or roasting I can overcome the chickpea.

NIce idea the one meal at a time And bravo finding a way to tolerate something you wouldn't normally be able to.

I am munching on my baby cukes right now, they are so good. Better than popcorn, jury is still out. I have a major addiction...and still need to get rid of the stash hiding in my car

[thriftygranny]

I am down a pound for the week, hoping I can stay more focused this week and am going to work on cutting the salt out!!

Congratulations!

Curt...OMG! You must be at your goal weight!!

Ashley, good for you, getting that fibre into your diet!

Vw-girl, lol...continued good luck in disposing of your unhealthy stashES...

Thriftygranny, one pound of butter gone! 1 lb never seems like much, but just picturing that pound of butter, or lard, lol, brings home the fact that it's a pretty darn good loss! Good for you!

I'm recovering from my hopefully last surgery on my leg, and although I'm not really on a diet per se, I find my appetite greatly diminished: I think I could live on cream of mushroom soup! I don't think I've lost, but I can't stand on the scale right now (yay!). I've probably maintained.....

Um...has anyone seen Walks?
Walks!
Come out, come out wherever you are!

[thriftygranny]

Lynn, congrats on getting through that surgery, I hope you aren't laid up for too long.

Thank you. I feel better, but not amazing lol.

Curt amazing!!! Keep on trucking everyone. Every healthy choice you make is a step. It is not about the sprint but about the marathon. When you treat yourself don't use it as an excuse to give up, use it as motivation to make a healthier choice next time!

[thriftygranny]

Had a a really good eating and exercising week but the scale has not budged. Not too discouraged as I feel like I am retaining water with the high temps we have been having, swollen ankles and joints.Will keep going at least the number didn't go up!!

[walkonby]

congrats on your efforts tg, especially the working out part! No success this week for me, best of luck next week all!

Here are some preggo pics. I am term so 8.5 months. I didn't want to get my hair wet so ignore my tiny swim cap head, lol.

There are so many beautiful fruits and veggies in the markets right now. It honestly makes me giddy looking at all the colors and smelling all the smells. I have half a grocery bag of blueberries in my freezer to snack on (I am a huge frozen treat fanatic) and I actually blew the dust off my juicer for the first time since the fall and whipped up a couple 80/20 juices for for work tomorrow. Going to try to go back to fresh and whole foods for the next month in preparation for a work conference which I need to fit back into certain clothes for.

This doesn't mean that weekends camping and going to fairs and stuff wont include some treats but if I stick to the good stuff on work days I think it will get me in track.
