Perfect 10 Buddy Club 12/8/08

Good morning!
Im still out of town but wanted to check in and say hi
So far Ive done really well sticking to my routine, although my morning walks are a bit more intense. My sister lives in the "sticks" lol and all the roads are full of hills! Im used to walkin on flat level surfaces so this is a challenge (but it feels great )
Take care everyone and I will try to check in again soon:flowerforyou:

good morning to all
i started my my morning right, with the full wokout of Billy Blank's Bootcamp. The baby was crying when i had ten minutes to go of the 55mins, but i did not stop. i gave her extra love and attention when i was finished and she is asleep now, so i'm going to do Jari Love's Ripped to the Core, i feel so good after a weekend of nothing but rest.

All the best to everyone with your goals today it's a new day so don't get down on yourself for what you did yesterday:drinker:

Hello everyone

I hope everyone is having a good day so far.
My goals today is to get my work caught up and go exercise after work.

If I get work caught up thats will lesson the stress and hoping to get my Christmas shopping finished this week and all will be well. I can then go back to focusing on my food intake over this holiday sesson.

I'm back from my girl's weekend in Chicago. I had a wonderful time. Ate at some amazing restaurants, saw Wicked and shopped the Magnificent Mile. More importantly, after spending the weekend with 6 women and watching their different struggles with body image (one has lost over 160 lbs and still is unhappy)...I feel more compelled to celebrate each pound lost and enjoy the journey instead of resenting it. I know that every day that I stay committed to healthier living, I will look better & feel better...even if no one else notices it right away.

Hope you all had a great weekend and here's to a new week of good decisions.:drinker:

Okay - breakfast update.

I had whole wheat silver dollar pancakes (WITH butter and syrup), an egg and a sausage link. Totalled to 850 calories. Ouchie. Thats okay though because it was more like a breakfast/lunch and I intend to work extra hard tonight on the treadmill. With luck, I can even still have desert after dinner tonight.

I truely never realized how easy this would be, ladies. I NEVER feel deprived. I eat whatever I want - simply watch the portions and work it off when I happen to go over. I can live like this. I can live, not diet. I'm just feeling amazing today. :smooched: I was talking to DH on the way home from breakfast today and I just said 'You know, six months from now I'm going to look totally different.' For me, its no longer an 'if I can' its an 'I will do this.' So much weight and stress has been lifted off my shoulders. I love my lifestyle now, and I think its only going to get better.

Kelhun - That is a great philosophy. Each pound lost is an achievement - heck, each pound NOT gained is an achievment!

I hope you are all doing wonderfully and meeting your goals today! :flowerforyou:

Hi everyone.

Been a busy weekend and an today was very busy at work too so just have not had time to check in and get my mfp fix. Glad to see everyone is doing well. We have a Thanksgiving tradition. Before we eat we each take a candle. The first person states what they are thankful for lights thier candle and then lights the next persons candle. Each person takes a turn saying what they are greatful for and then lights the next persons candle.
