Hi Ladies! Didn't see a thread posted yet so thought I'd get one going since I'm feeling motivated today.
What are your goals this week? Highs and Lows last week? Do you like to listen to music when you work out? Favorite Healthy Meal/Recipe?

What are your goals this week?
I finally got my Fitbit Alta and started using it this weekend. I'm hoping to get in 10K steps a day and get to bed by 10:00 every night so that I have plenty of energy every day.
Highs and Lows last week?
High: I'm proud of myself for actually setting up my Fitbit and starting to use it. Low: I had donuts and beignets this weekend
Do you like to listen to music when you work out?
Yes! I feel weird if I go for a jog without any music, it helps me drown out everything else around me. And I love group exercise classes which always have music going.
Favorite Healthy Meal/Recipe?
I love making grilled buffalo chicken salad, which I deem moderately healthy. I marinate the chicken in buffalo sauce, cook it in a pan with just a bit of PAM. Chill the chicken and then add mixed greens, shredded carrots, chopped tomato, a sprinkle of French fried onions and either some crumbled bleu cheese or sometimes I dip my fork in light bleu cheese dressing.

kristenkay, Congrats on getting the Alta. Tell us about it. I am addicted to my Fitbit... I also feel weird without some kind of music as it gives my mind something to focus on other than what I am currently doing. I want to come over for your meal. Sounds Delicious ! @jennylee, I honestly don't think I would want to do a workout knowing I would have to finish it later. I truly hope you can stick to it and get back to working out like you want to. Great thought and I hope it works. I love that you point stuff out to D and talk to him. That is awesome. I hope the weather clears up soon! ravenclanna, Getting off plan and trying to get back on is one of the hardest things ever. H and I were off track for 2 weeks and we just decided we had to do it one decision at a time. It is so difficult. Good luck. I am sure you will get it back soon. Enjoy making dinners!! @swimmy1988, Great goals. You are doing well with Zumba. I wish I had rhythm. My goals are gym 5 days, Under on WW points and stay on top of work stuff. High is meal prepping last week for this week and getting my errands done. Low, literally everything I ate. I am not sure I had one healthy option last week. I always listen to music... I feel like I had ADD without it playing. I am not for healthy meals lately so I am going to forgo this question. Non GIS related, my work is blowing up and I don't have anyone to turn to. H is a corporate man and I work for a small business. He doesn't really get it.... I work with my mom, My brother girl and 2 other girls along with a slew of men (22 total in the office). Long story short, someone talked smacked and everything here has been rocky as far as relationships in the office where as before, everyone got along and there were less then minor issues. Yesterday, Bro's girlfriend found a new job which is great and we are all happy for her but they wont to promote me and it will pretty much freeze me out from everyone here if I take it. Part of me knows I cannot say no but part of me is worried. I do not want to be miserable at work and be froze out by everyone here. I think some of this is because I am burned out as well. It has been over a year since my last vacay and I leave for this vacation is 23 days. I don't know what to do and I have 2 days to decide. I just do not know what to do.

((hugs)) nikegrl688 Are you sure that accepting will change the dynamic that much? Wouldn't everyone rather see 'one of their own' promoted? Is this a job you'd like to do? You have to be happy where you work. Trust me. My DH doesn't get it either. The smack talk was aimed at another coworker and a few people do not believe when I say I did not say the smack talk.... I am completely innocent and my boss has said so as it turned out to be a major issue in the office but a small group (3 of the 22) do not believe that I did not do it and will not let it go. I feel like I am being frozen out by that group and that group is a huge part of the overall dynamic in the office. H says I need to go In and do my job and not let that get to me but My boss just informed me he will be interviewing the office to decide if I can have the promotion. If that group feels like I cannot take on that position due to personal feelings, I will not get it when I am the only one in the office qualified as I have done the work before and succeeded.

nikegrl688 Seriously, that sounds crazy that your boss would let office drama dictate your promotion.

Wait - wut??? The boss is interviewing OTHER PEOPLE to determine whether or not YOU should get the promotion??? That's insane!!! Who does that? Seriously. This is weird. Your work should determine your promotions. NOTHING else. I was pretty shocked myself when I heard this. H said I need to stick it out and see how everything plays out. We leave for a two week vacation at the end of the month and he said reevaluate when we get back. I know it is the right thing to do but I find it hard to be here mentally and I am not sleeping well knowing there are issues here and I am not sure how to resolve them.
