Mommy Challenge Part 3: Hot Mummies for Halloween!!!

I managed to swim 40 lengths of fast front crawl I think that's known as freestyle too. Quite proud as first bit of exercise for about a year. I have also been doing 40 kettlebell swings every morning before breakfast, whilst my daughter looks at me whilst I'm crazy! I don't know whether that counts as cardiovascular but is does raise your heart rate.
I have been doing well with food and managing not to snack on unhealthy food but struggling for ideas of what to eat at lunch. I am going out for lunch with a friend tomorrow and hope I can stay strong when ordering! Wish me luck...
It's great to read how everyone is doing, keep up all the good work0 -
I had a run in with a KFC two piece at dinner :grumble: :sad: . I hang my head in shame.
Today was just kind of rough overall. Kind of going through the 6 week craziness with my LO, and hubby is training for a marathon so I couldn't go to the gym today. I should have just gone out with the stroller earlier, but it was a little windy...excuses, excuses. Le sigh. Guess I'll start over again tomorrow, that's all I can do!0 -
Wow --anntinkerbell! Good for you. I think MFP lets you enter "strength training" as a cardio exercise, but they warn that the calories won't be accurate. I entered it a couple of times, but I stopped -- seemed like cheating! Syds_Mom -- "tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it" (Anne of Green Gables I think)0

Latoya - If I didn't know better I would have thougth that I wrote your last post. I have a birthday dinner tomorrow night (plus my friend at work is making me pineapple upside-down cake for my birthday...yummo). Then at the end of this month I am going to Vegas for a girls weekend with some friends. Nothing to celebrate (other than the fact that I am a hard working Mom and deserve a little break :laugh: ). But I feel the same way. That is the first thing I thought about was what am I going to eat (at dinner, in Vegas, etc...). I am so tired of food ruling my life. I completely believe that it is an addiction and unlike say an alcoholic or someone that abuses drugs we still have to eat to live. Would be so much easier if we could just give it up all together!:explode:
P.S. Pizza is my Kryptonite! (oh, I forgot about cheesecake...lol):blushing:
lol we do have a similar month!! i think with a little focus we will be fine in vegas ( i hope)0 -

So I decided to step on this scale this morning to see where I was holding before this weekend. 270.1! SO SO SO close a 30 pound loss. I can taste it!!! This was the kick in the pants I needed for this weekend. I have been having a problem with my knee the last two days so I am really hoping it wont interfer, actaully i wont let it interfer!
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and can make great choices!!! I am so hoping that when i step on the scale monday for the weigh in itll say 260something.0 -
Sorry for being so quiet lately Mummies! This last half of the week has been PreK, Sister turning 21, and Thursday is my husbands random day off, he works 4 10s, so i havent been around much. I have done my shred everyday, today is L1D5, but other then the cardio in that I havent even touched the additional 2 hours i wanted to get in :grumble: Maybe today after my shred Ill jump on my bike. Anyhow, Off to get Colton ready for PreK. Hoping Mondays weigh in will be good since this month I am commiting to logging EVERYTHING i eat. There fore I am less likely to eat like a crazy this weekend!! :laugh: Happy Friday Mummies!!!0

So I am a pretty big country fan and just got great seats to see Miranda Lambert and Justin Moore. The concert is Oct 13th, so I have a little over a month. I have decided to challenge myself to lose 8-10 pounds before the concert and hopefully that will put me into my smaller jeans. right now I can wear them but its not attractive at all muffin top would be putting it nicely. LOL
So if i count this morning I am 1.1 pounds towards my goal! And when I reach that goal by Oct 13 I will have already met our challenge goal too and still have a couple weeks left! (im trully hoping for 15-20 by halloween with atleast 10 being ok.0 -

Sounds awesome!!! You can do it!!! :bigsmile:0 -
So I had posted yesterday but somehow I lost it!! :grumble: Didn't have a great week for exercise so and didn't make 300 minutes yet. Maybe by Monday but not sure. Next I will be starting 'fresh' I guess. I've just signed up with a personal trainer at my gym for an hour 2x a week for a couple months. I am excited to get started on this - hoping she can help me reach my goals and most of all get my back and core stronger so I don't have to worry about what I'm doing. :happy: I think my ultimate fitness goal is to be able to complete the couch to 5K program - right now jogging/running is out of the question.0

Just got back from the gym. Love love love Zumba! It kicked my butt! So I've officially met my 120 mins of cardio goal for the week...the fruits and veggies...not so much. But I'll keep trying. Hopefully I will get to the gym tomorrow. Saturday is my weigh in day, so we'll see what we've got!0

Hey Mummies, just wanted to check in. Everyone ready for Monday's weigh in??? Hope your all having a great weekend. Today is a sad day for America and I hope none of you Mummies were personally effected/lost a loved one in the tragedy that is 9/11. :frown:0

Good week, not so great weekend, as far as diet goes. Two BBQs complete with burgers, salads (not the diet kind!) wine and dessert. And today there were cupcakes. No way to stay totally within my calories -- I couldn't even log it all that well, since I'm just guessing on a lot of it. But I tried to eat less than I normally would. But I did eat a cupcake. And it was yummy! Hopefully my good week will balance it out -- we'll see tomorrow.0

Hi all!
My weekend wasn't as on track as the rest of my week but infinitely better than other weekends in the recent past!
Definitely munched a whole lot less and limited special weekend type foods to one serving.
So to my shock I got on the scale this morning and I was 2 pounds up!! Never weighed this much other than being 9 months pregnant. And I've been working SO HARD on eating right and working out this week. Bummer.
Can I blame the fact that it's my TOM? Or am I just doing something very wrong?
I'm pretty bummed about all this hard work seeming to not have amounted to anything.
Hope everyone's weekend went great!0 -

Don't let it get you down. YES! TOM can make you weight heavier; it will make me at least 2lbs heavier most times. think it's the water retention :huh:. Also, for some reason I will typically be higher after the weekend and then I'll weigh again like on Wednesday and be back down. It's crazy how our bodies work!! So anyway, don't get to upset. I bet if you weigh again in a few days you'll be down again. :bigsmile:0 -
I lost 2.6lbs this morning! I have been good in terms of food all week, except a few biscuits over the weekend. My husband leaves them lying around and that makes my will power melt. I have also been exercising, although not as much as I would have liked. I'm hoping running around with a toddler and being silly is considered exercise as that is how we end our day.
I started mfp about 5 months ago but had to stop dieting as I am breastfeeding my son and he wasn't gaining weight. I had gained around 1lb or so which was understandable. I started again last week when my son turned 6months and is eating some food and taking formula during the day. I am hoping the 2.6lbs loss is real and down to my hard work and not because it was my first TOM in about a year when I weighed myself last week. I guess only time will tell.0 -
Hi Ladies!

Not sure what is up with my body. Didn't change my eating last week at all but lost no weight. Maybe this is the start of a plateau, ugh!!! Although my clothes are more loose. Maybe I need to break out the tape measure.

Good morning ladies... I see we did good for the first week... I trust that we are gonna keep it up (or in this case, keep the pounds down!)
I had a pretty bad weekend in terms of eating but thankfully it did not affect me as I weighed in less 2 llbs this morning!! :happy:
I am at home today as I think my body gave up this morning cause I did not hear my alarms and woke up after 8! Had to play rookie... but I'll use the time wisely cause my son is coming over and we're gonna do some work on our apartment and try to turn it from a construction site to a place we could actually move into!! Hopefully that would be soon.
Here are my stats:
