Sixers Love Yourself Challenge

I've had a long week. Family drama. Sorta. meh.
I didn't work out today. It's my TOM and I'm ravenously hungry all day long. I am eating whatever I feel like, including that Butterfinger candy bar earlier.
I do NOT do this often, so I'm not gonna beat myself up over it.
I'll shape up a little tomorrow and Sunday and then back at it again on Monday.


Today's 'Love Myself' Reason: Because even on a day like today, I still have a fairly positive attitude, at least outwardly. And the doom and gloom is nothing a NAP won't fix!!!

xo Sixers!

I am sooo tired! So much going on ... gotta do better next week with planning the meals.. I stayed exactly the same! no up or down... Well I am gonna shower and watch tv and be in bed by 10! Talk about your wild and crazy Friday night! Talk to you soon!

becky

becky watch those wild friday nights, they can be hazardous to your health:laugh:

Well I did weigh myself this morning and I have not budged in over a month and according to this morning I was down 2 lbs. I was so happy. Im not going to make it official though until Monday. Im afraid that it was just a fluke and might go back up but I have been working my butt off lately.

On second thought, here is my meal plan for tomorrow. THEN "good night"! :bigsmile:

1. oatmeal (rolled oats) w/ 1 tbsp almond butter, 1/2 banana, agave nectar & skim milk (I'm out of pumpkin :frown: but I'm sure this will be good too )
2. vanilla ice cream protein shake made w/ skim milk
3. 1/2 sprouted grain bagel w/ hummus & alfalfa sprouts
4. gala apple & 10g brazil nuts
5. left-over sweet & sour meatballs w/ brown rice & broccoli
6. luna bar
7. 2 cups air-popped popcorn w/ 1 tsp olive oil (I've really been having a rough time getting all my fats in on days when we don't have salmon!)
8. organic turkey burger slices w/ red pepper, skim milk cheese & salsa wrapped in lettuce leaves
9. homemade blueberry vanilla power smoothie before bed

work out: 1h 15m cardio class (last 15m is strength training).
Busy day tomorrow! Have a GREAT weekend sixers! Try to keep in on the wagon - it's WORTH IT!! :drinker:

Hi Everyone,

Cathy, I'm jealous that you are able to go to yard sales this time of the year and you have the "gym" running through your blood. We are getting more snow ( I don't think it has stopped since early December) and the temps forcast for next week are all under 20 degrees. Have fun today.

I got up and on the tredmill this morning and am working on getting my water in today. I am so glad I got that done early and earned a point on my new reward system.

I did not get to my daily meal planning though. I have been working on weekly dinner planning and want to clean out my freezer so some of the meals may not be so healthy. Last night I ended up ordering pizza. The day got out of control and I did not have time to make my planned dinner, plus I had my family & son's girlfriend hovering around waiting for me to get their dinner. They are so spoiled; I need to come up with a solution to get some help with cooking dinner.

Hope everyone is doing good:happy:

I've been floating around. I'm staying close on track because I'm determined to make goal this year no matter what. I feel bad because I haven't exercised since Wed. I wanted to go for a walk yesterday, but when I actually had time I realized that I actually forgot. Weird I know, but true. Today hopefully rain will hold off so that I can go walking today. I don't like to do work out videos when everyone is awake because they sit there and watch me.

I've been tracking my calories and have still kept off the pounds from Friday's weigh in. Hopefully I can lower it by Tuesday's weigh in.

Hope everyone is doing well this weekend. Later. I have to go grocery shopping today and finish doing my laundry, yuck! :laugh:

Hello Cathy! I'm here, I'm here, keeping you on track! lol... I'm so glad someone is good about coming on here and keeping track during the weekends. I really become a slacker!

Shanell and Cathy, hopefully the family drama (even if it's not directly your family) is mellowing. It can really get everyone tense, and all that stress can lead to munchies. At least in our house!

Heidi, good for you for realizing your love of sweat! It's a huge step isn't it, when you start to love the exercise and how it makes you feel.

Lauryn, Yeah for positive attitudes in the face of drama and not beating yourself up for things.

Becky, don't think I'm not noticing that you're not loving yourself in your posts!

Connie, way to break the plateau! Woo Hooooo

Rhiannon, you always do the best job planning. I always kind of wing it, so I envy you your planning abilities.

Deb, I can understand frustration about everyone waiting for dinner. As if they can't get something together themselves! And cleaning out the freezer, we did that over the summer. As it gets lower and lower, it gets harder and harder to find stuff to cook. Don't forget to write something you love about yourself each day too!

DrTamm, i couldn't imagine looking for a new apt. over the internet. Sounds scary, so I wish you luck with it. And congrats on the new job. Finding a job is an accomplishment when so many are losing theirs these days. Great job making it a goal to find something each day you love about yourself. Remember, I'll be nagging if you don't... lol

Today, what I love about myself is the fact that I know when I'm crabby (and don't we all) and I remove myself from everyone, so I don't say something I'll regret later. It saves them and me bad feelings.

On a good note, I find I'm down quite a bit this weekend, even after eating out at an itallian place that has their garlic bread dripping butter..... Yum. I recently bumped up my daily calory intake, and for the first couple of days I went up, but now the weight seems to be dropping off again. It's a very good thing!

I forgot my love for today. I love that I'm really motivated right now on getting skinny and healthy this year.

I got my grocery shopping done and just came back from my walk. I did crunches, the plank, and push ups to help with abs and arms. When I put in my reps and how many, I don't get any exercise calories for it. Weird considering I feel it and my tummy hurts and arms feel like sgetty when I'm done. Any who, here's what I'm eating today. Gotta eat a big dinner because didn't really eat much through the day like normal with the weekend.

B- Big bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar and butter
L- Sweet potato with cinnimon and butter
D- Turkey loaf with mashed potatoes and corn
S- Diet Dr. Pepper frozen bar

On a good note I haven't drank any soda yet, only water. YAY!!!!!

Anyway's, later.

Thanks, I'll try that.
