Amigas Fuerte - Strong Girlfriends

MOrning Buddies!

Went rollerblading yesterday... 500 calories logged :bigsmile: However, I still went over on my calories and didn't maintain the deficit. :grumble: These dam cookies are going to be the death of me :laugh:

Nicole - You are really close to your "Goal size" Buddy keep up the Awesome work :bigsmile: I'm curious now as to why you are baking so much... sounds like you got a bake sale or something :laugh: Hope you guys get some sunshine with those 20's... brrrrr :noway:

Sandy - Glad your energy is returning... just in time to take care of little Gabby. It's harder for me to get my water in while at home, but at work I'm constently drinking :ohwell: Just remember how youthful your skin looks when you are hydrated I've been really slacking since Thanksgiving it seems :noway:

Amanda - Hi Girlfriend. Hope you and the family are well and no more MIL drama You are so dedicated to your workouts I know you are doing just fine with your calories :happy:

I need 2 more workouts this week to fulfill my 3 workout minimum I might just go rollerblading again today and then do Zumba tonight and that will have me covered. :happy: Let's see how that goes :indifferent:

Today is my last day at work till January 4th :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I will try really hard to check in daily because that seems to be the only way I stop myself from going ridiculously over in calories :ohwell: . I wish I get to a point where I don't have to log everything everyday... i guess consistent exercise would allow me to do that. :ohwell:

Passion, Dawn, Amy, Suzanne - :flowerforyou:

Well, Amigas I hope you are Loving Youselves... cause we are HOT MOMMAS!

hey buddies! didnt get a workout in today cause i had a bunch of last minute xmas stuff to do. wont be working out tonight, cause my sister in law (also named nicole:grumble: ) is in labor, so we will be heading to the hospital to see her. im all done with my baking....thank god!!! i did really great with not eating much of the treats!! i only ate 4 truffles, 3 cookies, and 1 caramel apple in the last 3 days...not good, but not bad! i am so glad for this goody season to be almost over.:laugh:

Hola Amigas!!!!!

Well Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope your Holidays were wonderful! I have not done bad but not great either. Just not the healthiest choices not really going over board. I have worked out 1 1/2 hours a day all week in hopes of equaling it all out lol. I am waiting on my new Polar FT40 that I got online!!! I can't wait to see what I am really burning!

Passion- We all have times like that. That is great that you are ready to get back up!!!!

Sandy- Did the girls enjoy Christmas? I hope that your rest time was great for your body BTW it was not my family that had H1N1 already I know Nicole's family did. I think you can only get it once a year like the regular flu.

Spicy- Wow 1600 calories burned WTG Girl!!!! What did you do about the presents for your son?

Nicole- Did the kiddos have a good Christmas? You are one strong woman making all those desserts and not eating much of them! Keep it up girl!

My mom is in town until wednesday and then her and my dad are coming back on like the 8th for My birthday and my youngests birthday. Other then that same ol same ol. Oh and Jeff is feeling MUCH better!!!

Sandy hope these restdays rejuvenated you to come back to normal at least by the new year I'm planning on coming back Full Gear on January 4th the first day back to work. Hope the babies are better 100%.

Nicole - You are still going strong momma :happy: Keep it up for me too, cause I've been slacking :laugh:

Passion - Most of us are on the same boat

Happy 2010 Amigas!!!

Well life has been busy here. A couple of days ago my son woke up in the middle of the night throwing up and then having uncontrollable diarreha (sp?). Then last night it was my oldest daughter the poor baby has it BAD. Just waiting for my little one to get it. I think today MIGHT be my turn My stomach is just feeling blah. Hoping I don't throw up. Other then that we have just been hanging out here at home and starting to take down our Christmas decorations. My husband and I have decided to move out of our house and back into the city (we live out in the country). So I think we will be moving around June. So starting to look for a place and things in order. Today is my first day of push circuit on Chalean! I can't wait it was really time for a switch for me. Still waiting for my heart rate monitor to show up I am really interested in seeing what I really burn doing Chalean.

Nicole- You are AWESOME girl!!! I have my fingers crossed for you for survivor there is no way I would survive on that show! Good luck with your first day of school I am sure you will great

Sandy- Glad to hear that you are starting to feel better! My family has that stomach bug I am so excited about the Biggest Loser next week!!! It will be amazing to watch them all and I am looking forward to those twin brothers that together they way almost 1,000lbs. I am so in for a challenge too I need something to kick my butt!!!

Spicy- I am so HAPPY for you girl!!! Enjoy your time with your Man and your time off work I am sure you will be right back to working out and logging your food

Suzanne- Welcome back!!! I agree with Sandy one step at a time, you can do it girl!!!

Make it a GREAT day Amigas!
Amanda

Happy Monday Lovely Ladies!

I have to start Fresh with logging because there is no way I can remember what i ate and it really doesn't matter cause I was still at 148 this morning :ohwell: :happy: Although I feel very comfortable with my weight, I don't want to lose my new "lifestyle" and like Sandy mentioned... I don't want to get too squishy :laugh:

We watched "It's Complicated"... most of it :laugh: It was cute...

Sandy - Glad to hear you have fully recovered from that "bug" :bigsmile: We must do something to get us back in the swing of things. Are we still on our "toning" mission. How about we do challenges like. Workout ___ muscles per workout. For example:

Week 1 - Upper Body: in addition to 20 minutes cardio, we must do 3 sets - 2 muscles, your choice to allow for recovery.
Example:
day 1 - 3 set Triceps, 3 set Biceps
day 2 - 3 set shoulders, 3 set Back
day 3 - 3 set Chest, 3 set Abs

Week 2 - Lower Body: in addition to 20 minutes cardio, we must do 3 sets - 2 muscles, your choice to allow for recovery.
Example:
day 1 - 3 set Hamstring (deadlifts, leg curls, etc.)
day 2 - 3 set Quads/Thighs (lunges, squats, step-ups, etc)
day 3 - 3 set of Glutes ( think these are similar to the thighs/quads)

You decide which 3 days between Monday - Sunday... It's less intense than we usually do, but I really don't want to make exercise a "Job". If anyone has any improvements or suggestions, they are more than welcomed :bigsmile:

Amanda - So sorry you're babies are going thru another illness. Hopefully, they will be back to normal soon. :flowerforyou: How was the new Chalean? Good you have something new with the New Year.... I can't wait to know what your HRM shows too :bigsmile: What's taking so long :laugh:

Suzanne - Nothing like the New Year to put us on Track... If you notice. January of 2009 is when I joined mfp :blushing: 1 quick, year later and I'm HAPPY with my weight :bigsmile:

Nicole - Hey Miss Survivor :bigsmile: How was your first day of school? I'm imagining it was today. I hope it's all you expected it to be :bigsmile: Have you figured how you will still have time for Exercise? Thanks for keeping our Thread Recent :bigsmile:

I have my gym gear with me and expect to start Fresh and New....

2010 Goal - To lower Body Fat from 29% to 24% :happy:

Anyone else Dare to Write their 2010 Goal :flowerforyou:
