Sexy Sixers New Day Challenge-- Week 3

Bumping for whenever i can get on the scale. I have the flu big time, in addition to massive menstrual symptoms (even though I had that visit LAST week) so I'm barely standing these days, let alone on a scale. Hopefully by Friday, I'll be able to pull that sucker out of the closet and give it a try. We will see.

Congrats on all the losses (AWESOME CATHY). For those gains, hey, it's a new year, so start kicking some serious but as we have Valentine's Day around the corner and chocolate in our midst.

Good morning ladies!

Jennifer...I wish you the best of luck. You do have to do what's best for that little girl of yours. I can totally relate to that! A child totally changes your priorities in life...and in a good way! You will be fine...I know it!

Cathy...you poor thing! Hope you get everything figured out soon!

Well...I had a good night last night. My legs and abs were SO sore so I did a upper body workout. Changed my dinner plans all together and had Tilapia, baked red potato and broccoli, cauliflour and carrots with a little italian bread crumbs...YUM! Also had 2 chocolate rice cakes in the evening with some sugar free hot cider. Ended up going over in calories by 2..oh well!

Plan today:
B-Oatmeal, light grape juice, coffee w/sugar-free creamer
S-Banana, breakfast bar
L-Tuna salad, 6 reduced fat crackers, baby carrots, light yogurt
S-2 clementines, 100 cal, pack almonds
D-Honey Lime pork chop, salad (romaine, spinach, cucumber, tomato, broccoli slaw, chow mein noodles, spritzer dressing)
S- Raspberries with cool whip free

Exercise:
Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones (55 minute workout)

Have a great day all!!

Amy...oh boy with the potty training!! Good luck!! We bought Kadence a potty for Christmas and she has lots of potty books. She is becoming more aware of when she goes in her diaper and she's starting to tell us. So...we're hoping she decides to try the potty out early!!! (maybe before 2...we shall see...). But she's only 16 months today, so we aren't pushing her at all yet. We just want to be ready whenever she decides! Keep us posted on how it's going.

Cathy...glad to hear it's not broken. Just take it easy and DO listen to your body...it will tell you when you're pushing too hard!

AmyS...good job on logging! That's always hardest for me also!

Well...I am almost finished work, then getting the oil changed on the car...then home to make some yummy dinner, exercise, and then some reading in a bubble bath!! I can't wait!!!

Have a good evening all!

Kristin-- that is awesome! We did that with wyatt around the same age ... getting him used to what it was all about! ... I would have tried earlier but i could tell he just wasnt "ready" .... until TODAY! ;o)

Cathy- Awwwwww so the meds you are on make you feel BAD if you over-eat?? .... Im glad your finding something that works for you!

AFM:
Day one of potty training was a success!
No accidents!!!!!!

Im proud of him!
We shall see what tomorrow brings!

We all ate baked chicken, roasted red potatoes with olive oil drizzled on top, broccoli steamed! )
Baby and Us weere very happy

Have a healthy day tomorrow!
if im not on much its cuz im busy with the babe!

Thanks ladies. God had confirmed to us many times that this is the right choice. It just breaks my heart to think this may be the last time I see her.

Hopefully once we get settled I can get into a workout routine....and reading routine! I didnt get around to reading breakfast until almost one today this baby of mine keeps me busy I know reading is very important, I just have a hard time being able to do for myself while caring for her. She is demanding.

GOOD morning!!

Had a GREAT workout last night!! Did my 55 minute Jillian Michaels workout. Burned a little less than on Monday (only 432 calories rather than 480) but it felt good! Then I took a bath and read my book...SO nice!

Plan today:

B-Mix of Total and cinnamon chex cereal, skim milk, coffee w/sugar-free creamer
S-Banana, breakfast bar
L-BIG salad...YUM! with light yogurt and hard-boiled egg
S-Apple, string cheese
D-Penne pasta, fire roasted garlic tomato sauce, italian turkey meatballs, probably also with a small green salad
S-??? Something while I'm watching Greys Anatomy!!

Exercise plan:
I don't know yet...either a shred workout or a lower body workout...or maybe both! Don't know yet...but for sure one of them!

Have a FABULOUS day gals!!

Good morning!

Logging my food in the morning seems to really be keeping me on track! I can edit before the end of the day and then submit it at the end of the day. This week is about getting the eating in line....next week is going to be all about getting in the exercise. We all seem so very motivated!

And the scale is steadily moving DOWN for once! Yahoo! (I cant help but get on that thing everyday)

Have a wonderful day!

Cathy Thanks for asking the wedding plans have been on hold with the holidays and such. We are starting to get back to it. Yesterday and today are the first times I have tried to workout. I have just been walking. I still have some evening swelling with my ankle. But I need to start using it...And I need to start working at getting into my dress by September. How is your foot doing?

Kel

Time to try and do catchup ladies. Sorry, but it has been one crazy week(s).

Kel - You will have no problem with that dress. You can kick it until September for sure. All the excitement alone will get those endorphines running.

Cathy - I look at my eight-year-old boy and can't imagine him gone, but am already preparing them that Papa and I are moving away if they don't and they get to keep the bills after a certain age. I hope you don't get too stressed out between now and July. How is your foot? Great job on getting to the gym. You are definitely an inspiration!

amy_36 - Great job on the logging. It really does make a difference doesn't it. You're doing great this challenge.

Kristin - I love how you plan everything out. Definitely makes me re-think my day sometimes and make better choices. Great job on the Jillian Michaels workout. I hear they are killer.

Jennifer - Sorry for the tough decisions you are making. But like your grandmother who sounds like the kind of woman who no doubt put her family first probably no doubt understands the sacrifice you are making. And to have such a great relationship with her means you have some awesome family tales to pass on to your little one.

Sandy - You are a wonderful reminder of my water intake. Because of your postings, I have actually been more conscious of my water this week and have been passing up the diet soda. So thanks.

amyls8711 - Gonna be time to have a "Pee Pee in the Potty Party!" Since we don't celebrate holidays, we find any excuse to celebrate, so that's what we did. What an inspiration! So now my almost 3-year-old niece is starting to get inspired. For me, my daughter decided one day, after multiple months of coaxing, that she was ready and never looked back (within a week or two of being 3). Our son was more "hit and miss" - pun intended. I know you are doing great!

Lauryn - How is your world?

Tiff - Always super busy I'm sure. Thinkin of ya girl.

B - If you are out there, miss ya.

AFM:
Finally got back to the gym yesterday. After a week of lice outbreak, flu, strep. Then Wednesday I was flossing my teeth and a thin sheet layer of my tooth broke off. What the.... Just from CLEANING my tooth? I didn't feel any pain, just frustration at my widdling tooth? Called the dentist and got in there immediately yesterday morning, wondering if my calcium intake was really that bad. Happily, it was an old bonding that had come off, and she replaced it for free. I told her she would be surprised that it was probably the best news I had heard all day. So afterwards, I went to the gym and got back on the treadmill after 3 days of being sick. Actually got my hour run in, although it was grueling. Then did kickboxing with a friend last night and this morning it hurts to sit down. Thank goodness for Zumba this morning and just "fun" exercising.

Have a great day ladies. Keep up the water intake, keep down the sweets, and keep on truckin'!!!
