Happy Birthday @leanstrongsexy
Happy birthday! !!0 -
Good and Happy Thursday!
I wish you all a great day!I So far in this second week we have some friends struggling including myself. Don't let set backs take over you! YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU BELIEVE!!! We are in this together, to help each other and encourage each other. I believe in each of you, do you want to know why? Because you are here. You are here trying to make those changes needed to become a healthier YOU. Love yourself enough to know you are worth it and you CAN achieve your goals. Please don't let yourselves be discouraged and stay strong...stay the course!
With that.....The challenge question/fact for today....
Tell us something you like about yourself?1 -
Something I like about myself....well...Physically, I like my eyes. That's pretty much it. But lately I've been telling myself each day that I love myself completely. My legs for walking, my arms for carrying my baby, My back (which is what I hate most) for staying strong and keeping me up as I care for my family....and my whole body gets me thru workouts each day. Thank you body
Other than physically I like that I am always staying positive. In all situations I can just say well....look at the bright side. I love helping others and motivating them and showing support when they need it most. I like this about myself. But still there are certain things that can affect my positive and happy mood; the weather, PMS, and anything surrounding my mom.1 -

Struggles: sweets and pizza this week. Excuses: 1. I was at my Aunts and she wanted pizza and ice cream and who can say no to theire Aunt who is home bound. 2. Its my birthday week and I have been indulging. Thursday will be my last day to indulge.
Successes:
I know I am really late posting this but I started new job and have been really busy. I hope to do better this week AFTER my birthday.
Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have an awesome day. Enjoy yourself1 -
Tell us something you like about yourself?
Man, I used to really struggle with this, I'm my own worst critic. But I remind myself that if I don't love my body at the start, I won't when I reach my goal weight. So now I like my body, even with all the extra "padding," because of what it is capable of now and the ways I know I can improve it in the future. I still have those days where I pick myself apart in the mirror but not as much anymore.

Yea, I'm struggling a bit today too after what I thought was a good day of eating and exercise...didn't get enough sleep (5-6 hours) so retaining some water, and then this morning, my scale read three different weights - one super high (147), one super low (143.2) and one only mildly high (145.2). Think I'm going to wait until I hit the bathroom before I believe it...wondering if I need another new battery. Argh!
Something you like about yourself...
Physically, I too like my eyes. They have a cool shape, and people tell me they are very 'deep' because they are such a dark brown.
Personally, I love my analytical mind. It does get me in trouble since I can be a bit of a nit picker, so people misinterpret my observations as snarky when I am just trying to be helpful. However, I love that I can find patterns in just about any sort of data and am a great researcher of information (sort of like the dude in the movie A Beautiful Mind, but I'm not insane, er, I don't think).2 -

I'm struggling this week too! Yesterday was the worst. Long story short: I had to spend time with my husbands ex wife who has been nothing but rude and mean to me since the day I met her. She was nice yesterday but it made me so upset/mad being around her that I went home and ate an entire ice cream sundae and a couple bowls of chili. Disappointed in myself but staying on track today!
What I like about myself: I like my caring heart. I'm always looking for ways to help others.1 -
Something I like about myself....
Physically, I like my boobs and the strength in my legs (even if they are a bit chunky...its mostly muscle).
Otherwise I like my ability to self motivate and strength of mind.2 -
Can I still join in on this?2

Total LBS lost this month:
Weekly Goals: 1.) Abstain from my trigger foods (Sugar, Flour, Caffeine, Alcohol, Sweeteners, Processed Foods, etc.)
2.) Continue with meditation (12 day streak currently)
3.) Continue going to the gym 3 days a week.
4.) Tracking my impulses wrt to food addiction and cravings.
5.) Reading my mission statement 1st thing when I wake up and right before I go to sleep.
Struggles: 1.) Dealing with the emotions of my work and being more mindful of resisting the urge to binge when I get emotionally high or low. 2.) Staying persistent with the "I will" habits I'm trying to form (Meditation and Gym). Accepting this is a constant struggle and not a light-switch that I can just turn off.
Successes: Posting this here and wanting to become a member of a community where I can help others achieve their goals and get support in my battles.
I'm really looking forward to this.4 -

We still have people joining us and I think that's fantastic. Everyone is welcome! This is not a competition but a place to share our successes and struggles and a place to help us keep accountable no matter what our goals. Some people have only posted once or twice some have been coming on daily to answer the questions/facts and weighing in each week. I thank each of you for joining us and for helping us stay focused. Much love to each of you. Xxx3

Tell us something you like about yourself?
Physically: This is something that I'm struggling with at the moment... I like my smooth, pale skin and the contrast it creates with my dark eyes and hair. Yeah, that's probably about it... I'm hoping this will improve with time.
Otherwise: I like my musical and theatrical abilities.2 -
What do I like about myself?
Great question! We really should ask this of ourselves more often.
I like my legs that are very muscular and defined. I also like my hair which is still naturally blond even in my fifties.
I like my artistic abilities, and my confidence.2 -

TGIF !!!
Sorry I am running late with my post today, I've been out walking lots trying to catch up with steps. I'm tyring to win my fitbit weekly challenge. I haven't won one in awhile. I have to say my timing has gotten better! Nothing like a full bladder to get you moving lol. I hope you are all having a successful Friday and that you are succeeding in all you do. Just keep yourselves moving, eat right, stay hydrated and the weight will take care of itself.
Question for today....
What did you eat today??1 -
For breakfast I ate avocado and 2 eggs on an english muffin topped with some salsa + coffee with a tsp of honey, Lunch was left over Pepper steak Stir Fry that I found on Skinnytaste.com with some avocado , for snack I had skinny over night oats from the same website, and for dinner I will have turkey meatballs with zoodles also from Skinnytaste. Trying to keep it light for dinner as tomorrow is weigh in day.1

Friday weigh in for me! Not as much as I wanted, but I'm dealing with PMS bloat...argh! At least the scale is still moving in the right direction, and frankly, I almost never lose on PMS weeks, so it is a mini-success. Hope to have some better numbers next week..

Weekly Goals:- Cardio at least 4 times a week / 24 hours in June challenge
- Strength training 1-2 times a week / Kettlebell 2 times a week
- Planking challenge daily
- Eat within my macro ratios and under my calorie goal daily / Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily
- 7-9 hours of sleep per night
Struggles this week:- Didn't get any strength training in this week - neither kettlebell or bands, but did lift/carry a bunch of boxes.
- Still struggling with sleep.
- PMS, water retention, bloated...argh!
- Started to break up my plank challenge sets this week, though they want us to do it in one set.
Successes this week:- 2 NSVs - I am starting to see a cut line at the top of my abs to about half way between my chest and my belly button. Have never had a center line like that even at my fittest. Thinking the planks are helping with that! Also got into a size smaller shorts yesterday. Still a smidge tight, but was able to sit down in them without the snaps on the waist popping!
- Even though it wasn't as much as I wanted to see, I still lost a little weight this week. Actually, it's probably one of the few times I've ever been able to lose anything during PMS week.
- Got to Day 16 yesterday in the plank challenge.
- Did pretty good getting more veggies and fruit into my diet this week.
- My house is mostly clean (it's been a disaster for months), and the spring cleaning has had me more active this week (in hours, not calorie burn), than I've been in months - hips and legs are so sore from climbing step ladders, bending to pick up things, carrying/moving boxes, etc. One more day, and I should be done with the inside! Next up, the garage and garden.

Just having an altogether crappy week! Little or no exercise (recovering from a stress fracture) and eating just over my deficit. Grrr.
Gotta grip this!!

Stress fractures are the worst, and so hard to work out with one! I ended up wearing a boot on my foot for about three weeks last year due to one...it wasn't fun. I feel for you!
You know what though, a week is just a blip. You can't change the past, but you can make smart decisions for your future! Draw the line in the sand and move forward. You can do it!!2 -
What did I eat today?
I usually have 2 eggs, oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, but i kept it to 3 eggs this morning and that was it
Lunch I had a bowl of Onion Soup
Keeping it light today because Mexican and Margaritas are calling my name tonight!2 -

Omg it's already weigh in day tomorrow I've been sick the past few days and my baby also has his first cold which means very little sleep. Didn't eat well, didn't move much and didn't drink enough water. I just hope I won't have gained.. 1

What did I eat today?
Meh, I didn't eat super great today...
Breakfast: Cappucino (wasn't hungry)
Late morning snack: Vanilla protein powder smoothie with berries and Almond Milk
Lunch: missed due to paddling for an hour between storms
Early snack: Chocolate protein powder drink (when I got home)
Late afternoon/early evening snack: Corn chips, fresh salsa, cheddar and jalapeno cheese stick, almonds (after walking back from the local market to get some veggies)
Dinner (planned): Baked chicken breast/tenders, zoodles, spaghetti sauce, glass of wine
BTW, of course after I posted, I ended up going to the bathroom for a third time and then stepped on the scale (late am) and yep, it finally dropped (and has been lower than I posted all day today)...I swear it knows when I'm weighing in for record and bumps it up just to annoy me...I'm saving the difference for next week.
