Sexy Sixers New Day Challenge-- Week 3

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'!!!

Morning gals!

Lorna...great to hear from you girl!! And good job getting in those workouts! I never did try Zumba but heard it was lots of fun so hope you enjoyed it!

Cathy...ugh taxes...didn't want to start thinking about doing those yet.

Well...last night I was BAD and munched big time! I ate a bunch of cinnamon chex while watching Greys and Private Practice! Darn! And I've been doing so good!! Plus I had a heavy dinner and a short workout (Shred level 1) so I ended up going over in calories by like 400! AH! Today will be better!! I promise!

Plan:
B-Honey Kix, skim milk, coffee w/sugar free creamer
S-Banana, cereal bar
L-Turkey, 1 oz. cheese, spinach and honey mustard on light wheat bread, light yogurt, baby carrots
S-2 clementines
D-Italian chicken...maybe mixed in a salad or with brown rice and broccoli...I haven't decided yet
S-chocolate rice cake with 2 tbsp. cool whip free

Exercise:
Shred level 2...I think and maybe an ab workout as well

Have a great day ladies and a fabulous weekend!!
