Me, I'm just in love with red lipstick, cute hair and I LOVE wearing dresses, especially, sexy/sophisticated dresses and of course I love that time era...always have been infatuated with it. :heart:

    Great job Rach, running with the bf!! I don't think I could run with my hubby! I would be too nervous!


    And once we got home, showered and had dinner, he told me he was proud of me. That right there has me ready to push even harder tomorrow. :flowerforyou:

    so sweet!!!

    I was in the middle of getting my hiney kicked by a new cardio workout and my doorbell rang. My husband is at work, so I had to corral the dog, and answer the door, sweaty and out of breath. It was a person selling organic cleaning products. Seriously? She said, "Oh, were you running?" Yes, I ran to the door so I could have someone smear finger prints all over my window to demonstrate something that doesn't work. And now I have collapsed and probably won't finish that workout. :explode:

    That would have made me so mad!! I don't usually answer the door unless I am expecting someone just cause usually I am really crazy busy!

    So I went for my first jog EVER last night! I loved it! I did the first day of the C25K program and it was awesome! I think I tied my shoes to tight though cause my feet hurt afterwards, but thats ok! Now I know for next time. I am an every-day weigher, and this morning my weigh was down another 2.4 pounds! I know its just water weight, but it made me happy to see!

    Hope everyone has a great thursday! Tomorrow is the weekend!

    I was just wondering how supportive everyone's other halves are of their weight loss?

    My boyfriend has just come in to the room with a cup of milkshake he made with Carte D'or ice cream for me to try, and in the last week has made me go to kfc and mcdonalds and sit there while he eats... not fair :grumble:

    He isn't purposely trying to sabotage me, though he does have some kind of mental block about healthy food. I made a veggie chilli which he absolutely loved, then after I told him how healthy it was he's started complaining when I say I'm making it. Same with a spinach and ricotta lasagne I make, he loved it till he found out how low in calories it was. Yet he still goes to kfc all the time, even though he always says it wasn't even nice afterwards, like he thinks he SHOULD enjoy it because it's bad for him. Strange.

    Have to admit, I was well behaved at kfc and mcdonalds (it doesn't even smell nice anymore) but I had a taste of the milkshake. I've got to be a bit naughty sometimes :wink:

    My bf's supportive because he really wants to see me feel good about myself. He tells me I have no reason to be self-concious or upset about how I look. He does however like to be a guy and stand in front of me chugging soda, like 'OMG this is soooo good' when he' knows I'm trying not to drink it. I think it's just a guy thing.

    As far as not eating things because it's 'healthy'. I used to be like that. I had a thing against healthy foods because I viewed it as a punishment. We were always rewarded with food growing up. If you got straight A's, dad would take you to Denny's for breakfast. There were always cookie, candy and ice cream treats at night before bed. You get the idea. So when my dad got remarried and everything went to organic and portioned, I felt like I was being punished. Like, what did I do wrong? Why can't I have ice cream or chips? It took a long time for me to retrain my brain, and I still struggle with it. I'm not sure if that's anything like what he's going through. He might just have a 'I don't need to eat healthy, I just want to eat what tastes good' attitude. Lol! Beats me! :laugh:

    I'm fortunate that my boyfriend lives a healthy lifestyle and works out continually. It was funny the day we moved my daughter was so surprised that he actually ate McDonalds. She had never seen him eat any kind of fast food, I think that was the last time as well (two years ago).

    When I made the change to a healthier lifestyle he was so supportive and I think relieved. He made it quite clear that he loved me the way I was.

    He is also a fabulous cook and that has made me enjoy cooking. We do not buy any packaged or processed foods, everything is homemade.

    Hello gorgeous ladies,

    Thanks for the links to those websites - I'm gonna spend some serious time drooling over those dresses!

    My boyfriend is very supportive - he will normally eat whatever I eat, just a whole lot more of it!! It's incredible how much he eats and how skinny he stays! He's a pretty good cook so now he's become quite careful of what he cooks for me and tries to make it healthy. We do have the occasional splurge though!!

    Feeling quite a bit better today - the nausea and shortness of breath disappeared yesterday and replaced itself with horrible joint pain - everywhere. Literally everywhere. The worst hit seem to be my hands, neck and hips and last night and this morning I could hardly use my hands. Seems to be ebbing away though - I can type at least!! The doctor said it should ease off and disappear in a few days. Lucky because I have to be moving house on Monday and there is SO much packing to do!! Because of feeling unwell I haven't exercised the last few days so not so sure how well the next weigh in will go...Ah well, positive thoughts!!

    Stay gorgeous all of you

    xx

    Well I'm finally starting to feel better!

    3 days straight with feeling crappy w/ a mini cold I had but I still worked out all three days - I just had a low cal burn than usually.

    Today though I decided to sleep in so I had 3 workouts to complete. I worked out from 2:30pm to 4:45pm and I still have so much more energy LOL.

    Going to Bingo tonight so I hope it rubs off and brings me luck!

    After I did my Hip Hop Abs - The mailman came and dropped of my box from beachbody - - - - it was my Insanity shirt!!!! Omg that was such a energy boost! I ripped open that box and put on my shirt ASAP!

    IT FELT AMAZING TO WEAR THE SHIRT!!!!! Not too many are up to the Insanity challenge or can complete it. I was out of shape and weighed 175 but I did it and this shirt shows everyone the hard work I put in for 63 days!!!!

    Than on to my Brazil Butt Lift DVD's - I happen to fall under the combination butt type and of course that workout plan has you doing 2 dvds a day LOL

    So I want to spread my energy to everyone one else!!! If you haven't worked out yet put on some workout clothes that make you feel good, look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself "I'm about to work you out GOOD!!" (while doing some poses lol) and GO FOR IT!!! Bring on that sweat!!! =)

    Love the website. Dresses are totall hot. Something about a tight fitting pencil skirt makes me wanna get to the gym!! Also read some of the blog that was recommended. Love her! How motivating and fun!!

    Hoping everyone is doing well with eating and exercising. Something about the rain and comfy sweats makes me just wanna stay on the couch but I'm 236 cals over my 1200 cal limit so I HAVE to hit the gym!! Damn you cheap little caesar pizzas!!
