Beach Beauties

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.

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!!!

Tues: Elliptical & Yoga
Wed: Zumba & Elliptical
Thurs: Zumba, Elliptical, & Weights
Friday: Elliptical

Sat plans: Yoga @ 0900, Weights, Zumba @ 1100

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

Great work everyone. Keep sending in the weigh-ins. Everything may be posted a little late because it is Memorial day and I am BBQing with friends and family. So, everyone enjoy the beautiful weather and hopefully the day off.

Hey Beach Beauties,

I did pretty well meeting my goals on the weekend! Had two drinks yesterday : ( but other than that managed pretty well for being out of town. My snacks from home really helped. 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 !!!!!

Good Morning Beauties,

We are in our second week of trying to lose those last ten pounds. We need to stay focus and set our mini goals. What is everyones goal for today?????

MIne is :

1.) to watch portions

2.) to add in more water

3.) reduce salt - (something I have trouble with)

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!

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.

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!!!

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!

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.
