    Tuesday QOTD: During our weight loss journey a lot of times we focus on what is wrong with us. Name one body part of yours that you love and do something today to enhance that part and let us know what it will be.

    I will go with my hair. I shaved it off two years ago after spending most of my life chemically straightening it. Now it is wild and slightly uncouth... like me!

    I will LOVE ON IT by moisturizing it with shea butter (the fat from the African shea tree for those of you unfamiliar) and braiding it tonight. Tomorrow I will rock a nice BIG curly afro :-)

    This is a good question! It is nice to focus on the positives! I'm going to say that I like my feet. :) I think I'll do an at-home pedicure then prop them up this evening and give them a rest. :)

Name one body part of yours that you love and do something today to enhance that part and let us know what it will be. If it is your lips, put on some juicy lip gloss. If it is your booty, throw in some donkey kicks or squats to your workout today. Whatever it is LOVE ON IT TODAY!

    For me, I love my thighs, hips, and behind! (I know that I said one :wink: ) I will do some dead lifts today to get some lift going on.
    I would have to say my eyes... and going to play them up with liner and shadow i usually don't usee :D
    The "EYES" have it! __eye_02.jpg

    And several votes for feet too! (I love mine, just wish smaller!)

    I'm going to say my calves - they are probably the most toned part of me and pretty muscular from all the running I've been doing. So I ran this morning, and tonight I'll do some extra calf raises and slather on some vanilla-scented moisturizer.

    I love my legs and calves so I wore a sun dress that would show them off and I'm definitely getting on the treadmill so I can make them look even better!

    Qotd tuesday... For me my fav body part used to be my eyes but now I would say my bum! My husband has told me i have no bum left but I am gonna take that as a compliment. I am on day three of work after maternity leave and today I am wrapping my lovely bum in a skirt instead of my usual jeans.

    I would probably say my waist. Even when I was much heavier I still had a small waist (well compared to the rest of me :tongue: ) I guess I am the classic pear shape, I hold most of my weight in my hips, thighs and booty, but my waist is quite defined, I used to always wear long baggy tops to hide my bottom half. So today I put on a close fitting top to show off my shape and my Husband said to me "what did you do with my wife" haha.

    I'm another who had an ex-husband who was less than kind about my weight, so I completely understand what that is like. Luckily the second time around I met someone who appreciates my curves, he keeps telling me not to lose too much off my booty, lucky he is not a boob man coz I lost those about 20lbs ago :laugh:

    When I was 16 I worked in a hotel in Germany during summer holidays. Close to the hotel was a small shop (ice-cream-man) that made and sold ice cream and shakes made of ice cream. And I absolutely loved their jogurt ice cream.

    There is a small Scottish ice cream shop near my town that makes delicious ice cream. It's homemade, fresh, awesome... The banana is my favorite. Now that I'm watching what I eat, they make a wicked lemon sorbet!

    (I love going, because we have dinner at the seafood restaurant next door, which sits on top of a dock on the river. Then we get ice cream. Its beautiful AND delicious!)

    Oooh this is a tough one... I'd have to say, it's a toss up between Ben and Jerry's cookie dough, or Maltesers ice cream.

    Yum...

    Now that I'm being healthy, I love frozen yoghurt.

    Mmm... There's an ice cream shop where I grew up and they serve homemade ice cream. Anyone who leaves the area and comes home to visit always ends up back at this place. So delicious. They even make their own waffle cones, and you smell it as soon as you drive up.... Mmm.. Must stop daydreaming about it. :laugh: My favorite flavor was mocha almond... still is. I can't wait to treat myself to it again one day.....

    Chocolate cake batter ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery. If you saw my post a couple of days ago about how I used to make cake batters just to eat them, then the best ice cream I've ever had shouldn't be a surprise :)

    Hmmm...for me its a tie between my eyes (I had laser surgery a year ago and love them now!) and my hair - which I always hated growing up because of the natural wave in it....now I love it since it just takes 2 minutes to do in the morning - so I popped in a hair band today!!
    Wednesday QOTD(Jul 20) : I know we are trying to be healthy. But what is the best or favorite icecream you had in your whole life

    Oh Ice Cream - how I love you! My brother owns a drive in restaurant, and I worked there in my teens, and worked a bit in my late 20's as well....30 ish flavours of icecream!!!! Ahhhh - it was heaven! I would say of all my favourites was a kind called Carmel Pecan Fudge - it was carmel icecream, pralined pecans, with a think, gooey ripple of chocolate fudge running through it! YUM!!! I could make a meal of it :embarassed:

    For me it would have to be a Haagen Dazs vanilla & milk chocolate ice cream bars...outside of that the only ice cream I will eat is Strawberry...LOL!

    Well actually it may be an oreo flurry from Sonic..if that counts!

    Without a doubt, it's huckleberry ice cream. I happened to see it while on vacation in Oregon at a tiny stand on the side of the road, and again when I visited the Tillamook factory. I'm seriously tempted to drive down to Oregon with a huge cooler just to get more of it. Tillamook does make a commercial version, but it's just not the same. If summer ever arrives in British Columbia, I'm going to try making homemade huckleberry ice cream.

    OK. Well, I do like ice cream but I like hot fudge even better (LOL) so I'm going to say Dairy Queen's Peanut Buster Parfait. I haven't had one for decades, but I keep remembering the layer of hot fudge and peanuts on the bottom! For store-bought variety it's a tie between French Silk or Cherry Garcia.

    I have a definite winner, which is honey nutmeg ice cream. I have only eaten it a couple of times from a shop in California called Ici. (French for "here"...as in the ice cream is made here in the shop). Words cannot describe how delicious it is!
