I am so excited it is Friday. I am very ready for a 3 day weekend. That sounds like you did a great workout lobster888. I hope to get a run in tonight. I am going to visit my sister and doing happy hour. So, I really should get a run in, but not sure I will.

The long weekend is great, but BBQing is happening so I gotta really pay attention to what I grab. I think it will go well.

Have a great weekend Beach Beauties. Our first weigh-in is Monday. So, if people still need to send weights do so. I will have everything compiled for us.

Hey Ladies:
I have made great choices this week regarding what I am eating!! My weigh in's are on Fridays... so I will use that on Monday. I am so excited because I am down 3lbs since last Friday (Weigh In). I need to work out more to tone my problem areas, but I am feeling good about things right now!

I am so excited for a 3 day weekend!! I hope that everyone has a great safe weekend!

lobster888

bballgrrl34 Hope you get your run in this evening. I weigh in on Fridays so I can use that for Monday - It's 134.4 almost a pound - that will give you a head start on the list.

I am little nerve about trying to fit in my exercise and eat health this weekend because we are going out of town for a country festival. But , I am going to try very hard. So, my goals for Sat and Sun. (monday won't be a problem) is to walk as much as possible and hit the gym at the hotel. I am bringing healthy snack and lots of water.

mom2toby - thats great about your good choices this week and it show on the scale yeah!!!! That should keep you motivated for the weekend!!!

I want to join! Since joining this site a week ago today I have lost about 3 lbs, which is alot for me in a week! I would love to lose 10 lbs which would put me at 115. I also need some motivation not to eat really bad when I go on my vacation to Maui in 2 weeks! I dont want to get home and have gained back all the weight I worked so hard to lose! So Im hoping to stay strong while Im there too...

I'm so happy I joined this group. I have actually logged on to mfp for more than 5 consecutive days now which didn't happen in the past lol....Everyone seems to be doing so well and its really motivating so I'm so happy I joined but I have to confess I had a good week eating well but no exercise at all...I was just reading so many of the entries and all the exercise everyone is doing and it really has motivated me to start exercising too!!! so i'm going to go for a brisk walk right after i post this entry!! Have a good weekend everyone

hooah_mj

I love the motivation on this thread....we're keepin' it real and it's wonderful to read posts like the one above

I had planned to head to the gym @ 1pm (right now, actually), but we just finished up 4hrs of pre-summer lawn weeding, clipping, mowing, raking, and tree trimming! Ouch, but how pretty it looks out my window...I love a pretty yard :bigsmile:

So I got my workout in for certain....all cleaned up now & surf this awesome site.

Be Well All :flowerforyou:

I didn't exercise today so that's my rest day. LOL I got in my Power 90 in over the weekend and just reviewed it - so I am ready to start tomorrow June 1st. Yeah!! I am really excited - considering ordering the supplements - any opinions??? all welcome... yes no maybe ???

Excited to see the weigh ins and everyones progress !!!

Hope everyone had a great day!!!

oh yeah - the country festival (First one ever in Tiger Stadium, LSU Baton Rouge LA) was awesome - Keith Urban is the best!!!! Just in case anyone was wondering LOL !!!!!

lobster888

Hi Beach Beauties,

I have not been every motivated these past few days. I don't feel like working out and I am hungry all the time. I am not quite sure how to get back on track. Like today I ate my after noon snack with lunch. I am not quite sure what I am gonna do til dinner. Which will be out with a friend after work. Not a good choice. We are getting $1 sliders. Also, my lunch was huge. I think the biggest thing that I need to do is go back to make food on the weekend and having healthy lunches already made instead of throwing things together in the morning before chasing after the bus to get to work.

So I know I can start making a change today, but it is already a little to late to change what I already ate and what I plan to eat, but when I get home today I will prep for tomorrow lunch and make sure that I have healthy snacks. I think the long weekend away from home really hurt me, but I will get back on schedule with everything.

My gym hours have changed to ending at 8:30 instead of 10:30 so it is a little more difficult to get to in the evening, but luckily the weather is getting nice so I could go for a run outside. I am sorry for my whiney venting but I just needed to put this in writing more for myself than anyone else. I had to put it out there so I could recognize what I really needed to work on inside of stressing about it all day without coming up with solutions. So, I am setting a few goals for myself.

1. Drink 10 cups of water
2. Make my lunch tonight
3. Do some sort of workout even if it is just a walk around town

I guess that is where I will start for now. Don't want to set too many and get overwhelmed. So thanks for reading. I normally try and keep posts shorter. Good luck everyone and it is great to have this group as motivation and support.

lobster888

Hey bballgrrl!!

Don't be so down - I think everyone had a tough weekend and then we have to get back on track. Good for you for setting a goal for today to get there instead of throwing the whole day as a wash. I always try to have quick healthy options for those on the go days. Lowfat soup, can of tuna, natural peanut butter and triscuits are some of my pantry quick meal favorites. I am sure you have some. Of couse there is smoothie and a subway close for those really on the go days for me. Keep positive and don't stress about the day. Try to reach your goals and move forward.

Hope your day gets better and smile - you are beautiful!!!!

lobster888

Hey - Where are all my Beauties?

Let's check in today and see how everyone is doing? (not a weigh-in just a where you are check in). I completed day three of Power 90 Yeah! My eating is pretty good but I think I snack a little too much.

So my goal for today is :
1.) to pay attention to my snacking-
2.) try to get in more fiber
3.) watch my salt (again)

Hope everyone has a great healthy day!!!

amillionmegs

Hey everyone!

Bballgrrl I am so happy you posted what you did... I have been having the same problem. Attempting to eat a healthy lunch, but throwing something easy together last minute (and not enough) then starving by the time I get home from work and making something easy and not so healthy for dinner (ham sandwhich or soemthing).
The past three days I've been having michalenas for lunch with a few cookies, as well as snack throughout the day like banana, apple or nutrigrain bar.
I don't feel like what I've been eating is healthy... at all.

I'm thinking about making a meal plan for the work week or something in adavance, then buying/ preparing it before the day I eat it. Do you wanna think of a weekly workday meal plan? I mean they dont have to be the exact same, but at least throwing some ideas out there for each other?

as a side note, everyone is doing awesome! The mini goals are looking great! Mine is to eat healthier lunches :)3 days until our next weigh in.... Its crunch time!!!

bballgrrl34

Hi Beauties,

I like the idea of checking in. I am doing a lot better today and ready to really get on track. I made my lunch last night and packed my snacks for the day. I did go for a 20 min run last night. I was still over on my calories, but I am fine with that. I am going grocery shopping this weekend and that will help with healthier snacks. I set my alarm this morning for 6 to go for a run, but failed miserably. It was just too hard to get out of bed. Luckily I have a basketball game tonight so that will be my exercise. I plan to walk after work as well.

Goals:
1. Stay under calories
2. Drink 10 cups of water (forgot my nalgene so gonna be harder)
3. Relax and enjoy watching the Celtics beat the Lakers!!!!

Looking forward to hearing how everyone else is doing!

lobster888

Good Morning Beauties,

I got up this morning and did my 4th day of power 90! I also managed a walk last night (35min.) Today is order lunch out at work, I have to try to make a healthy choice - I do have a back up - but the temptation is there!!! Aslo, tonight I am going to a benifit for someone at my church. I am going to eat before I go so that I can make healthy choices or not eat.

So my goal for today:

1) Make a healthy lunch choice
2) Make a healthy choice at the benifit.
2) Drink lots of water!!!

Today is Friday Beauties, so I was thinking - I have a harder time following a healthy meal plan and exercise over the weekend. Sunday use to be my cheat & rest day. Now I only have one cheat treat on Sunday. (maybe a snowball ?) So maybe we could set our goals for the weekend today. I don't know - maybe make me more accountable on Monday mornings. So, I also changed my weigh-in to Monday. That should help me - LOL.

So, my goals for the weekend

1) Weigh-in Monday morning
2) Only one cheat treat on Sunday
3) On my rest day from power 90 - do something - walk, ride my bike or something light.

Hope everyone has a great healthy day!!!

Hello Beach Beauties,

I did well today. I walked from my job to my place today. It was an 8 mile walk. Pretty long, but nice. That was a enough of a workout for me for the day. So, it is way too late to set goals for the day, but I did well. I had my 10 cups of water, stayed under my calories, and worked out. One thing I really want to get back into my routine is doing abs. Which is really important since the group is called beach beauties. I want to wear a bikini in Jamaica in August and not feel like I have to suck in the whole time. I think I may be consuming too much alcohol while there to concentrate on sucking in I kid. Kinda. hehe

So goals for the weekend:

1. Some form of workout both days
2. Drink 10 cups of water each day
3. Clean my house (counts as a workout of some form!)
4. Rest up for the up coming week.

I think that will do. I hope everyone has a great weekend and meets their goals. Look forward to weigh in on Monday. Good luck! I would love to hear from more beauties. Let us know how you are all doing.

lobster888

Where are all my Beauties?

Hope everyone is doing good and staying motivated - kinda hard after a holiday weekend but lets get back focus!!! I did my power 90 day 5. Yeah!!! I have also decided to start South Beach diet. I need a change of my diet to rev things up. I have done the low fat counting calorie for a very long time and think I am in a rut!! Also, I hate to admit it but I am a sugar addict!!! Even if it is all healthy sugars (fruits and natural) !!! I just consume too much. So I am going to switch things up...

If anyone needs a pep talk ---- I am kinda motherly - worried about my Beach Beauty Babies and hope they are doing O.K. !!!

Hope everyone is having a great healthy weekend!!! Weigh in on Monday. My first Monday in a long time - but since Sunday is no longer my cheat day - I should not fear it >>> right???
