***Question of the Day***

The weather is finally starting to take a positive turn! What are some healthy activities you will engage in?

My Answer:

Gardening! Okay, maybe not full on gardening (I live in the city), but I am excited about growing herbs and veggies this spring. I am doing a potted garden that I will leave out during the spring and summer and bring indoors in the winter.

Keep Shining Diamonds!
Jamaica

    Congrats to all!!! I love this time of year....I am super busy with the farm so I am outside almost all the time. We just got a new jogging stroller so I can get outside the walls of the gym. I wasn't sure If I was going to like it but so far so good. Does anyone have a dog?? I have a miniature pinscher with bounds of energy and she gets longer walks now too.

    Hello Divas!

    So, today's question of the day is a selfish one to be sure. I injured my back last weekend and am now struggling with how to get some physical activity in without hurting myself. It's just a muscle pull, and I plan to pretty much rest all week, but I just feel terrible about doing NOTHING at all. This week is important to me because I am ONE little pound away from a very important 20 pound milestone!

    Any ideas? What I can I do to get my heart rate up... even a little? I haven't a pool nearby (at least, not one with water in it this time of year).

    Keep shining!

    I can only think of swimming, walking, and maybe some bicycle kicks while laying down.

    Hey Ladies,

    Week 6 is no time to slack off! I hope you are all communicating with your partners and sticking to your plans! You deserve the success you seek... so work for it!

    Question of the Day:

    What has your weight stopped you from doing? Will you do it again once you slim down?

    My Response:

    My weight has absolutely stopped me from wearing 2 piece swimsuits! I used to be so thin that it didn't even occur to me that some people didn't wear them! I can't wait to feel confident in one again.

    My Response:

    My weight has stopped me from wearing most of the clothes that I use to wear and feel comfortable especially bathing suits. I'm excited to be able to go shopping and love how everything fits and also feel confident on the beach in my bathing suit.
