Sixers Love Yourself Challenge - Week 3

good morning ladies...

tamm......lots of places to look at in one day. i love looking at places. but, after awhile they do become all one. good luck.

no pain yesterday and so far so good today. going to get my hair trimed this morning. than taking myself and DH out to lunch. i want chinese. DH gave me a funny look. not suppose to eat greasy or fried foods for right now. we had big screaming fight with son at the dinner table last night. he got his notice he has until may 1 to move out. he keeps putting things off and hasn't been saving any of his money. he could have had close to $1000 by now, if he was more careful. he spends like drinking water. anyway long story.

shanell love boos new hair cut. can't beleive donny let her cut off that much. did it get donated to locks of love?

later gater.

Congrats Katie! We all seem to be trying something new and out of our normal routine this week. It does feel really good to try new things! That might be a good weekly goal to add to the next challenge. Trying something new wether it be a new food, a new activity, etc.

I went to my normal Weight Watchers this morning. I was down 1.6 which makes sense as I was down 2 yesterday from Tuesday and since I cant weigh in naked like I do at home the extra .4 was my clothes. I still need to lose another pound to be down to pre-Christmas weight.

had to hunt for us this morning......didn't do well yesterday. will do better today. doing a workout this morning.
off to do it.
later

Deb, thanks for thinking of asking me that, a form of accountability, I LOVE IT! Actually, yes, I plan to go every saturday morning to the free class. The instructor also holds a class on Monday and Wednesday evenings that I would love to go to. However, my schedule isn't going to allow for that, though I am trying to figure out how.

Ladies, last week I picked up a funny little book called "The Sound of One Thigh Clapping: Haiku for a Thinner You" by Meredith Clair. This little book is hysterical so I think I will be sharing some of those little haiku poems in my posts. I think you will enjoy them as much as I. Here is the first:

"Chocolate passes
too quickly over the tongue,
preferring the hips."

Ladies, I think I have decided that I want to run a 5K this summer. Now, I am not a runner, never have been. So I know I need to begin training NOW. Do any of you have any suggestions for programs, resources, etc.? Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, we enter our last day of week 3... ALREADY!!! It seems like we were just expressing our amazement that week 3 was STARTING! :noway:

Katie, how great that you are going to enter a 5k!! I'm going to look into the dates tomorrow but I hope to complete my first non-walking 5k in the spring :happy: I'm nervous and excited at the thought. It means I'll have to resume my participation in C25K (couch to 5k) that I was so enjoying until I got sick in December. You should consider checking out the website c25k.com because it eases you into a running program that is sustainable and won't cause over-training.

AmyLou, did you get your studying done?

Deb, YAY YOU for getting active even when the mood wasn't striking you :drinker:

Hi everyone else - I hope you've had a great weekend! Mine was really wonderful and I was 100% on track which hasn't happened in a while. Usually they're pretty good but I have one or two moments I'd like to re-do. Nice to have a great one!

Here are my meals for tomorrow (work out will be weight training class at the gym and maybe some running before hand):

1. pumpkin apple oatmeal
2. 3 egg whites scrambled & served on Ezekiel toast w/ salsa
3. protein smoothie (vanilla ice cream protein powder, skim milk, 1 cup blueberries, flax meal)
4. 1 gala apple w/ 1 3/4 tbsp almond butter
5. chocolate protein shake made w/ skim milk
6. yam & black bean stew over black japonica rice (left-overs!)
7. 3 cups air-popped popcorn

Have a great day ladies! :bigsmile:

oh, my for today is that I'm moving more and more into a place where I'm nurturing myself again. I bought some nice natural, organic honey calendula body lotion today and actually used it all over after my shower tonight. I'm gaining a kind of respect for myself that I'm not sure I've known before and I LOVE that.

Good morning!

Katie, good for you resisting the honey bun. And yay on a loss! I've had a loss over the last couple of days too and I just couldn't wait so I updated my ticker. Down to 168lbs. I HOPE I've finally kissed the 170's goodbye for GOOD!

I did my Friday weigh in today. I'm the same as I have been for weeks now... 159.
The bad news, I'm not losing any weight.
The terrific news, I've not gained an extra pound in all my emotional overeating.
Phew.... :yawn: I need a nap.

Where IS everyone????? :glasses:

Well hello strangers! I'm still hanging on to this danged cold, but the coughing is mostly cleared up. If only I could get my nose and sinuses to be well too! I was absolutely shocked this morning when I stepped on the scale, because I'm down quite a bit, can hardly wait til tomorrow to share! Of course, I didn't eat dinner last night (went to take a 3rd nap of the day at 4:30, woke up at 11 PM, ate a bowl of ice cream and went back to bed and slept until 5 this morning), so that may have something to do with it...

Amylou, possibly open the picture in your paint program, then save it as a jpeg. I've had to do that to shrink my pictures to a size that's acceptable on different websites, otherwise they are too big bytewise. Don't know if that will help with the zoom thing though.

Still no exercise, I might hop on the wii fit for a bit. Not sure though... Just made the most delicious protein shake for my afternoon snack. I used my vanilla mix, with almond milk, and added a tablespoon of pistachio SF/FF pudding mix. YUMMMMMMMMMM It was decadent!
