I want to be healthier this year, eat better and exercise more. I'm looking to drop 20 pounds and I would like to do it before PJ25! I 've been lazy and eating foods that make me feel terrible. I really want to get some energy back and fit into my clothes!
Eating whole fresh foods, planning my meals and packing lunches is number one on my list. I think I'll get the foods in order then add on some trips to the gym. I belong to one but use it rarely.
Anyone interested in jumping in with me? Be there for support, ideas and accountability?

I bought P90x3 and did a few workouts, then got busy with the holidays, so starting again in January.

Food is my problem...I love shitty food

(not fat but in shape? Ha! - shall be hunkering in Camp DK for now)
And good for you, OP, and all taking this on.
I'm starting Friday but I have 2 shows at the Cap this weekend. I'll be drinking vodka and soda to stay low carb and I think I'll only go to Pats Hubba Hubba for one chili dog on Friday night and skip the one Saturday night...lol. Seriously, Not really buckling in until Sunday. And no such thing as "cheats" It's your birthday...eat the freakin cake. I'm not looking to be a food snob all the time..but most of the time!
I did a Whole 30 and lost 20 pounds in that time. But here I am 2 years later and It's all back. I'm looking to lose and moderate my "bad" foods. I mean I can never live without pizza, but REALLY GOOD pizza, not frozen Elios....Oh I wish we had a Mod Pizza here!
Lurking is appreciated
I fell of the fit wagon when I tore ligaments in my ankle 2 years ago...that ankle still acts up, pretty sure I can still keep up. I'll take my glucosamine and MSM.

Try out this new awesome healthy recipe. It has blown away everyone I have made it for and is VERY healthy. Let me know how it works if you try it. I use flour tortillas. You can use whatever you'd like. Cheese, sour cream and guacamole could all be added, but there really is no need for any of them with this recipe.
Chicken Fajitas:
3 Boneless chicken breast
Fresh Cilantro
5 limes
Olive oil
Garlic Salt (or fresh garlic) to taste
Chicken:
Cut chicken breast in quarters. Put cut chicken in gallon zip lock bag. Add 3T of olive oil and all cilantro (chopped) and gartichoke salt. Next, juice 1 lime into the same bag. Slice remaining 4 limes and add to bag. Seal bag and mix it all up. Let marinate at least 1 hour (or 12 hours). Grill chicken. After grilling, roughly chop up chicken.
Fajitas:
Onion
Green Bell Pepper
Red Bell Pepper
Zucchini Squash
Summer Squash
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Olive Oil
Slice onion, red and green peppers and put in skillet. Add 1T olive oil, salt and pepper. Begin cooking. As ingredients begin to become soft, add in zucchini and summer squash. Once all ingredients are softened, add to tortillas along with grilled checked breasts.
Mind blown!
Chicken sounds amazing. I'll try it and put it in lettuce cups
Because of ACL reconstruction, I have to watch some of the exercise stuff that I do, but will hop in to update progress. I've joined the ladies at work (with a scale!) as accountability, too. They wrote my weight now (eek!) and I'll be weighing in with them on Wednesdays.
Thank you for organizing this.

I asked one of my cardiologists if I needed to lose weight, and he said, "you're good." I would like to be a better runner, though.
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
I stepped on the scale and did some measurements. Uggh, no wonder my pants feel snug in the waist.
Last year my PJ SS gave me a PJ gift card and I scooped up the green sweatsuit. They only had it in medium. That suit will make a premier at PJ25 if I have to lose 25 pounds lol....
In all seriousness, we support you in your goal. Do you have a time goal, distance goal or what type of goal? Though I'm not a runner, my SIL is a marathon runner. (She has run MCM in your town and I was there!) I understand the goal portion of running. I admire you for running.

My all time favorite veggie is cauliflower! If you haven't used it to substitute potato give it a try!
Just boil the cauliflower - drain. You can eat plain or add a little fat free or reduced sour cream.
Yum!
