    Emotional Challenge:
    My moment of clarity was after I had my 1st daughter and seeing pictures of myself. I started working out but then life got in the way. When she was 4 1/2 I decided I wanted another baby and we struggled with this for 1 1/2 yrs to find out I have high levels of Cortisol hormones and there is nothing they could do for me....so forget about trying to get pregnant OR lose weight cuz Cortisol is caused by stress and this holds on to fat....great, huh? I did some research and went to the Natural Food store and bought a generic pill called Cortisol Lowering pill....starting working out again and taking pill and with in 2 months I lost 25lbs and was pregnant!! Now since I had baby #2 I am done 45lbs ( had her in Dec).......27lbs when I started here in March and am pushing to lose at least 50-60 more lbs and hopefully be at goal by next summer! With this hormone issue it has been coming off very slowly but this is also a lifestyle change and I am trying to change for the better!

    My son's favorite cookies. Plus they are super easy to make and freezer friendly!
    From Weelicious.com (LOVE this site!) http://weelicious.com/2010/05/14/o-cookies/
    “O” Cookies! (Makes 30 Cookies)

    1/2 Cup Nut Butter (almond, peanut or sunflower)
    1/2 Cup Rice Syrup
    4 Cups O’s Cereal (you can use whatever “O”-type cereal you like: Cheerios, Trader Joe’s O’s, etc.)

    1. Place the nut butter and rice syrup in a small saucepan over low to medium heat and warm for 2 minutes or until it becomes smooth and combined.
    2. Place the cereal in a bowl.
    3. Pour the warm nut butter/rice syrup mixture into the bowl with the cereal and stir to combine.
    4. Shape into cookies (I used a mini ice cream scooper to scoop out each portion, but you could also use a tablespoon). You can also place the mixture into a 9 x 9 inch ungreased pan, pat down and then cut into bars. As the O’s mixture cools, it will harden.
    5. Serve.

    ~50 calories per cookie

    This is my vote.....I would so eat these!! But what is Rice Syrup?

    It's a natural sweetener kinda like honey but it comes from brown rice. The only place I could find it was the organic grocery store, so look for a whole foods or trader joes. It's in the baking isle. I'm also going to attempt to make some oat bars with it, it's a great binder.

    So first of all I need to vent a little bit... So earlier this week my neighbor came by and asked if I would like to join her bootcamp group that her and her boyfriend are doing and I immediately said sure because I can take my kids. So she told me that they will be getting together at 7. Well when I got there yesterday they had already started and she was like ohhh your late. I was there right at 7pm. Not my fault they started earlier than 7 she could have said something so Im like whatever. So after we finished yesterday I made sure to ask what time they were going to be out there today and she said around 6:45pm. So I was like ok I'll be here at 6:45. Well today I had seen that they were still at home, but i figured they are probably still getting ready. So I take my kids and we walk over to the school where we exercise and I walked the trail and waited until they show up. Well they never showed up. They never came to my door or nothing. I live right next to her. She could of have came and told me that they were not going to exercise today. I dont know but I think she could have showed a little bit of common courtesy. Yea she could have came while I was over there but I highly doubt it. So I dont know if I am going to continue going since I really dont know their schedule..Soooo I'll just continue doing what I have been doing here at home think that will be best. I'm not going to count on anyone but myself....Sorry for it being so long but it just made me a little frustrated.

    Anyways on another note I did:

    Pushing or pulling stroller with child
    20mins - 58 calories burned

    Circuit training, general JM 30DS and Butt Bible Lower 1
    46mins - 428 calories burned

    Thurs:
    Nutrition: Under calories I didnt even get up to 700, wasn't to hungry today dont know what going on
    Exercise: 50 Pushups Complete

    Hope you guys had an awesome day today!

    Sorry your neighbor was a turd! Yes...it is best to depend only on yourself! I have tried to get 2 friends on here because they REALLY need to do something before its too late but have gotten them to sign up and that's it. Some people are all talk and no action! Ya got some calories burned today though so that super awesome!! Its almost the weekend, thank goodness!

    I know exactly what you mean. I tried getting my sis n law on here because she has been saying she's been wanting to lose weight, but still nothing. She lost a good 14lbs but I think she gained some back. They have to do it because they want to do it, ya know?! Yes I did burn some calories today! I finished level 2 of JM 30DS (its about damn time lol) today, and will be starting level 3. I cant believe I only have 10 days left. I also started doing the butt bible and man I can already tell my butt is going to be sore in the morning. I kinda dont want it to be the weekend yet. Thats when i mess up cuz the hubby is home, but he motivates me which is a good thing. I love him to pieces :love:

    I did the 30 Day Shred end of June-end of July..only lost 5lbs but lost 24 inches overall!! Is this your 1st time doing it? I have so much more strength and endurance since then! I did Jillian Michales "No More Trouble Zones" tues and my *kitten* and legs are still sore.....feels like it did the first couple of days of the "Shred"...takes me a while to walk downstairs!! :bigsmile: I wanna burn as much as possible for this weeks challenge so this pain best subside by 2mrrw! Think I may do this again 2mrrw if my baby allows me to for this long....about 50minutes...my oldest usually entertains her but thats a long time and she is a momma's girl!! So here's a hoping!! I wanna drop some poundage this week!!

    Well back in feb i did only lvl 1 for like 4 weeks only because it was on free on demand..since starting mfp i thought it be best just to buy it..I wanna burn alot 2 since I didnt really burn anything last week because of school. Now that my daughter is in school and my class is over I have me time sort of. My son is still here but I'm trying to exercise before he wakes up and he sleeps alot. But he wont really bother me too too much if spongebob is on or if my hubby is awake to distract him. My son is such a mama's boy.. I cant even go to the restroom without him being there. I'm like omg can I use the restroom in peace geez. lol He cries so hard if I dont let him in. I really want to drop some pounds too. School starts back up for me again on Monday. I'm so excited..So I'm going to figure out my schedule and see what works and go from there.

    "No More Trouble Zones" today...50 minutes...665 calories!!! I pushed thru eventhough I was still sore from tues!!

    Jennifer....I got a MIO watch from Best Buy and I think it was $65. Everyone suggest getting one with a chest-strap one but I sweat WAY too much and didnt want to be uncomfortable. I think $65 was well worth it...I didnt want to pay ike $100...not in the budget!! :)
