    Ah, Meg I totally feel you. Last final today though. I haven't eaten good or worked out hardly at all this week. i'm kinda nervous for tomorrow. But I'm going home to Chicago tonight. I'm in charge of cooking there, so Hopefully I can get back on track. before the holidays next week.

    Well good luck to the rest of you that still have finals!

    Oh i can't remember who posted them and i'm lazy! But thanks for the recipes. I got a crock pot a while ago and haven't used it :(
    OH BTW if you want want walmart and like Gerbes(kroger) has really good sales on them right now. i Saw a med one for like 30 bucks! I'm sure Target has them on sale as well.

    Have a wonderful day ladies.

    I have been unable to work out for the last 3 days because I have Vertigo.
    I have maintained my healthy eating, I have been very tempted to eat junk though because I am just sitting on my butt!
    This may sound silly, but if I start to feel unmotivated, I watch Rehab Party at the Hard Rock on Demand. Hahahaha....I watch all the men and women with hot bodies and think to myself, they can do it, why can't I?! I want to go to Rehab next May and be able to wear a bikini without feeling self conscious, so far it's working!
    To all of you ladies struggling to stay on track. When you feel the urge to grab those fries or that shake, just think to yourself how horrible you will feel afterward and how much harder you will be on yourself. I do. I hate that feeling like I have failed myself for that medium fry from Mcdonalds. Go out and buy some sexy lingerie, a bikini, or a cute outfit, in the size that you wish to be and try it on once a week or every couple weeks, to see your progress. Just an idea...
    You guys have all done such an awesome job so far! Keep up the good work!

    GREAT job everyone! I forgot to weigh in, I'm not really into the scale cause I'm working on building muscle so it might just be depressing lol... I worked out last night and my mom and I are going to a local stadium to run the bleachers right now, I love bleacher workouts! I was thinking for the challenge that it could have something to do with portion control, since we have Christmas and such coming up it will be hard to say no to everything so as long as we have portion control we'll be good!

    Question: How many of you eat your exercise calories?! Thanks!... have a great day!

    Epic fail today - perhaps due to the snow and lack of things to do but downed a few too many potato chips.

    Thats said - portion control is a great idea...

    Are any of the rest of your gust getting snow???
    We have about six inches right now and it didnt start til about 8pm. Wonder how much we will end up with.

    Did a great bleacher run with my mom yesterday then went and saw "Blind Side"... GREAT movie! I'm going to the gym in a bit, I'm home at my parents house right now making christmas cookies with my mom, we can't eat them though cause they are for the neighbors which is a good thing!... hope you all have a great day!

    Hey great idea for the portion control. To answer the question about eating exercise calories, I hardly ever do that. I know that people go either way with this topic but I don't like to. I feel like if I just worked out hard why eat the extra. Now if I am hungry and/or my body tells me I should eat I will, but it is never the full amount.

    Good luck everyone!!

    Thanks for the responses about exercise calories guys!... I just got home from spin class and lifting weights, really good class this morning!... ok so for portion control I don't think we need anything specific as long as we aren't portion controlling everything as in thinking we can have EVERYTHING lol I'm mainly going to focus on portion control for those holiday dinners!... :smile:

    Have a great day!

    I totally agree! Like everyone else finals kinda kicked any hint of healthy eating, I was eating at weird hours, sitting around studying all day and not being healthy like i wanted! No changing that though, I'm on break now & am hoping to be a bit healthier since I can choose what I eat and cook when I want since I don't have classes.

    I've got a crockpot too but need some recipes that are handy and healthy. I'll be student teaching next semester for school, and with being gone from 6:30 am until 5:00 pm, I'll need all the help I can with making cooking easier! Does anyone have healthy/easy recipes? Pass them along please :)
