Sixers LOVE Your Body Challenge--Week 1

Today I love my eyes, not the bags under them, just my eyes! I have hazel eyes...I love the way they change colors depending on what I am wearing.

I have hazel eyes too and love how they change with the colors I wear as well. Sometimes they are bluish, sometimes brown, other times green. Can't beat that and no matter what weight I will be at, they will always stay that way.

Hey All! Updated my info and ready to go!

Okay so today, I LOVE my hair- the texture of it, the thickness of it. I just am really happy with it besides the length

I am a fan of Off The Map too! I need to take myself to the gym tonight though so I will have to watch it later this week or this weekend. Love DVR! How did we ever survive without it?

I feel myself getting better and better with this food logging and working out. Today I brought lunch and then decided to eat something else. In the past I would just bag logging for the day....today I changed it all and still came in under goal. I will have a hard time eating my exercise earned calories. I am thinking of experimenting for one week and not eating them back.

Have a good night everyone!

Today I am struggling with the body love. Actually feel a bit weird today, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks really enjoying seeing a slimmer (albeit on slightly) me. And I looked in the mirror this morning and saw the fat monster again looking back at me. I haven’t put on any weight this week, in fact I think I have probably lost that nasty pound from last week. But still… the wibbly wobbly monster was lurking and making me get sad all over again.

BUT I put it down to no exercise this week…. Not necessarily affecting me physically, but mentally. The happy vibes have softened. SO! I have hidden my scale (well the boyf has) and I am hoping my leg feels better so I can at least do a bit of exercise tomorrow!

So to love……. I love my brain. I love it for being so clever and devious! I love it for loving the exercise that I think I hate and I love it for reminding me that I need to pursue this and I need to keep on going.

I also love it for realising that there is actually nothing wrong with my body at all, and that this diet and weight loss is not the be all and end all of my life right now. But its something I can focus on and achieve in a healthy, happy and intelligent way.

(and I love it for starting this post in a right hump and finishing it in a much better place)

Hi Ladies,

I have been MIA for about 2 months now and would like to rejoin the group. I am sorry for my lapse just not very motivated lately but trying to recommit to improving myself.

I love the challenges for each week so here is today thing I love about myself

I love that I my daughter is a priority in my life and that I am willing to stand up for her no matter what. This may sound silly but she was just diagnosed with Apraxia and I am having to make sure she is getting all the therapy she can and needs,

Have a great day Ladies

Week 1 Day 2

Today I wore this cute pink tee to the gym and when i saw myself at the huge mirror anddddddddd i loved my curves , i could feel my muscles toning up too !

I love everyone's responses. They are inspiring and fun to read. Some make me tear up, some make me laugh...you are a great bunch of people!!


So...today...I'm having a hard time with body image. Ate salty/bad last night...really wanna get on track today. Bad cold, cough and sick children...just one of those days I wish I wasn't doing daycare and I was able to wrap my 10 year old up in a blanket and lay behind her all day comforting her (and getting some TLC myself so I can recover). First time I've worn sweats while doing daycare in almost 2 years and I'm not feeling guilty about it. Ugh. So...body image? Not so good today cause I feel frumpy and very blaaa.
So...I would maybe say I like my eyelashes. They are long and dark. I've gotten compliments on them from strangers and that's always a great feeling. ((((cough, cough...)))))

Have a wonderful day everyone!! I'm going to hybernate!

Maria

What do I love about my body today... well so far we got the hair, teeth and ears this week so let's move away from the head for today...

Ummmm.....I love.... my blood... okay, I know it just keeps getting weirder....

I am donating blood on Friday which is what made me think of it.... I love my blood because it can help save the lives of others and it is so easy to do. Canadian Blood Services is even bringing a blood donor clinic to my workplace which makes it even easier... All I have to do is walk across the hall and donate... done...

I just have to hope my iron and blood pressure is high enough. I am slightly aenemic and tend to have really low blood pressure so sometimes I can't donate. I take iron pills but my body doesn't absord them well even when taken with Vitamin C which is supposed to help your body absord it.

Keeping my fingers crossed and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

good day.

i don't have anything to love today. i am still battling this sore throat. i think i may need to go to doctor. i don't have a cold, just sore throat and left ear hurts. i think i may have a slight fever.

well off to get some soup. sorry to complain.

later

Just like a marriage we are here for you 'in sickness and in health'. Hope you feel better soon. I am wondernig if you have an ear infection which can affect the throat.

Take care,
Datenshi

Good afternoon!!

I worked out again day 3. I am loving every part of it! I have even been really good about logging in my food each day. I hope to see some results next Tuesday!

Yes the weekly challenges have been awesome, I can't believe were are on day 3 and we have already made it to 4 pages. I think that it is good for everyone. Coming on here everyday is making everyone feel more accountable for everything!

My love for today is my hair! It doesn't matter the length, the style or the color, I always love it. I have always had shorter hair, and when I met my husband I started growing it out. It is now almost to my bra strap, WOW it is the longest that it has been in at least 10 years. Just last night though, I was telling DH that I am thinking of cutting it. Maybe in like another month I will do it. It will be like a new do for my new transforming figure, hehe!!!

I am so sorry Tracy for the news on your daughter, at least you now know what it is she has...weren't you before trying to see what it was that was going on with her? I have been going through some struggles at home with DH losing his job and DD just recently used scissors to cut her eyebrows and eyelashes(she's 10-I think she is rebelling against all the stress in the house). The only advise that I can give you is to take a deep breath and remember God will only give you as much as you can handle. And guess what? This is your challenge in life, this is not a bad thing, this is only a stepping stone to make you stronger for yourself and your family. You are a MOM, you were build strong to take whatever comes your way!!

And to everyone else, I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Lauren
