    Awesome!!! I'm so happy for everyone for ANY success, even if it's just maintaining that can be a success too!!

    So far I started my day off with my bootcamp class this morning && now I'me ating some shredded wheat! I have my 5k tomorrow which I am NOT ready for at all!! I haven't had enough time/energy to train as much as I wanted to and I will PROBABLY end up walking most of it, but WHATEVEr as long as I finish, right?! And hoepfully it will be a milestone and encourage me to push forward and one day be able to conquer it!! :D

    My feel good for today is going to be hanging out with my friend Sara and going to one of our favorite places for dinner, it's called Treehuggers cafe and it's a little organic/vegetarian friendly restaurant that has a LOT of great, healthy && different options!! She's leaving me && moving to Chicago on Sunday... so it's pretty bitter sweet!! && i have to make sure i go to bed nice and early because 5K registration starts tomorrow at 7:30AM YIKES!

    Awesome job everyone!

    How is everyone doing?

    I'm doing pretty well this Saturday! My sleep schedule is so off because my days are starting in the evening on one day and end the morning'/afternoon next day! It's making me bonkers trying to keep track what day I'm in!

    So does anyone have any great websites for healthy recipes to get fresh ideas on meals to make? I'm so bored of the foods I'm eating!
  • AmerTunsi
    AmerTunsi Posts: 655 Member
    Wow just reading that made me feel like i burned some calories .. so you certainly did chasing the 5 kiddos!

    GL tomorrow, I'm positive you can do it! Maybe you need to set an alarm to remind yourself to eat lol.

    Good Luck Ashley!

    I too have so much respect for you to even try it! I attempted the C25K last week and I couldn't get through the first day!
  • katieeweiss

    Sarah, try Allrecipes!! They have a healthy section, but I personally just look around until I find what I like. We all know that a cheesy, salty recipe isn't as healthy as one full of vegetables with a healthy fat like olive oil or something lol.
  • Hi everyone
    Went to a wedding yesterday someone from work-if I say.Jeremy Kyle or maybe for our US friendsa jerry springer youunderstand why I had to drink my bodyweight in vodka....didn't eat much though

    DAY 11!

    I hope everyone is having a healthy weekend. :-) I am! My new bike is AWESOME!!!! And... my bike shorts (the kind with the padding) FIT!!!! I'm so surprised, I got them before I was pregnant. (So like 10-15 lbs lighter.) But THANK GOODNESS, because the seat on my bike HURTS lol.

    I'm going to try not to overdo today (on exercise) because tomorrow I'm going to start p90x! Aaaaaaa! Wish me luck. ;-)

    I'm so proud of everyone for their progress!!

    I did p90x before my wedding,and I lost 27 lbs in 4.5 weeks. It works fast, but if you dont actively change your habits when you are through, you gain it all back! :sad: Good luck girl! Just keep up you strong willed personality and you can achieve anything!

    hi everyone!

    Busy weekend for me. I was definitely not perfect with the eating (and a few miller lites here and there), but I will try to make up for it this week.

    My sister came back from a two-week vacation and her first response to me was "wow Katie, you look great! Did you lose weight?" Makes me feel so good to hear that.

    I'm nervous that I am going to lose steam. For the last few years, I start eating healthy, working out, lose five pounds or so, and then lose steam and go back into my old lifestyle. Once the pounds stop dropping (even for just a few days), I give up and lose all steam.

    This group is good for us all to keep our motivation going strong! I would love to hear from the twenty or so folks that haven't posted much (or at all) in our group. It helps to hear what we're each going through or exchange a good exercise routing or a good recipe or stuff. Don't be afraid!

    Anyway, that's my post today. Tomorrow is a new week. And AUGUST 1st ALREADY! How is that possible?

    Good luck everyone and keep your goal in mind!

    Chelsea, by habits do you mean eating healthy and regularly exercising???

    Katie, great job! I can't wait for people to notice i've lost weight... it'll be awhile since we live in WA and everyone we know lives in PA lol. There's always Facebook!!! ;-)

    I'm a little early today but ya'll are ahead of me anyway. IT'S DAY 12!!!! Have a happy Monday ladies!!!

    How is everyone doing on exercise minutes? Remember our goal is 240 this week! Since Thursday I've done... 214! (The new bike helps...)

    MONDAY IS MY FIRST DAY OF P90X! WISH ME LUCK!!!!

    Hiya, its a new month, this month i have a holiday that need to make sure that i don't go off track and gain back all the good stuff i have started last month. The kids have been off on school holidays which has been really difficult with trips to cinema and lots of temptation, i have buckled and given only to feel terribly guilty later and when the kids are off i can't get to the gym, i can't believe i'm saying this but i miss the gym bad. Have tried to make up the excercise minutes by taking the kids swimming and for walks but its not like my old workout regime. :sad:

    Hello fellow 20in6er how is everyone going? You've all gone very quite - are you will with us or have you given up...

    To be honest I'm a little frustrated the numbers arent dropping so quickly (yes I've been naughty & doing extra weight in's but I promise no more until Thursday) but I know I'm putting the right practices in place by getting my eating organised & regular & I'm missing exercising on my rest days so I'm not being too hard on myself - beside I have 62 days until my big trip!!!

    Katie set us the target of 240 min this week - how are you tracking? She's killing it with the new bike (dont over do it young lady :wink: ) so far I've logged 60min *4 woohoo with another 60 min boxing session to go... How are you going? Reach out if you need help yeah - there's no point in struggling on your own.

    Great attitude Shelley & Katie, its the start of a new month & a new start right... Take it one step at a time, one day at a time.

    Hey everyone!! Thanks for the positive encouragement for my 5K I did it with success! (finished in 40 minutes! - faster than my training time!)

    I am SO tired/not feeling too great today... woke up Sunday with a sore throat and just feel icky - I'm hoping it goes away soon! Well I had a CRAP weekend for sure - I went over quite a bit on Saturday AND sunday with calories - but I'm not going to beat myself up about it, just start fresh today && hope for a good rest of the week!

    I'm happy that everyone else is doing great so far && working out awesomely! I'm proud of all of you!!

    Can we talk about the fact that it's already AUGUST - what the heck?! Only 14 more days till my birthday, EEK!

    Saturday and Sunday were a bust. I eat over my cals and no exercise. But this morning I hit the ground running. Cleaned house, did a online workout and packed my goodies for the day. I am ready to hit the gym after work and log a total of 90 mins exercise for the day. I believe that I can make this week still count.

    Hi everyone!

    I hope everyone is having a great day! It is the start of a new week and a new month! I know August is going to be such a great month for us as we finish up this challenge!

    I have been putting in my minutes, but for the past few days I have been so wicked tired! I could fall asleep anywhere and anytime! Then yesterday I woke up and had gained a pound, I didn't freak out about it, but today I woke up and fuond I lost that pound plus 2.4 pounds more...so I did freak out with excitement! I'm going to put all that energy and excitement into my workouts!
    I'm starting the 30DS this evening and I'm a bit nervous about it. I have seen so many MFP members get great results and I hope to be one of those people in 30 days! Wish me luck!

    Ashley congrats on your 5K in 40 mins! That is sooo awesome! I hope that you are feeling better so that you can enjoy that milestone and rock out the rest of this month .. not mention your b-day!

    Charmaine- You certainly can make this week count! Each day, each meal in fact, is an opportunity to get back on track and focus on our goals again. You have 4 days until our weigh-in and that is a lot of time to make things happen! I hope you had a great workout this evening!

    Shelley, isn't it a strange feeling when you actually miss the work outs? I think it shows that we have really turned this into a lifestyle change and it isn't so temporary. i hope you and your family enjoy your holidays and don't fall into too much temptation!

    Aoife, we are still here.. just not all of us it seems! i am like you in that I weigh myself far more often than I should! For me I want to see how my eating, drinking, and exercise habits affect my body the next day. Like if I don't drink enough water, I can seriously feel and see a difference! However, I do get frustrated when I don't see the drop and think about all the work I put in and how it should have dropped! i guess that is why NSV's are so important! Keep at it .. and thanks for all the energy you bring to this thread! I do appreciate it so much!

    DAY 13!!!! Can't say much more because I've got a fussy baby who is STILL awake!!!

    I loved reading everyone's posts today!!! I did my first day of p90x and as a feel good (you remember those, right??) I took a niiiiiice bubble bath. ;-) See you tomorrow gals!

    Hiya,

    This morning I was feeling really dishearted about my weight and that I can't get to the gym, I got some really lovely supportive messages from my fellow MFP pals and went home for lunch and over my usual bowl of soup I spoke to my boyfriend and told him my feelings, he was really understanding and said go to the gym after work tonight and I'll have the kids. Really super excited to getting back to the gym I need it.

    Sarah, yes your absolutely right i'm worried about going on holiday and indulging, I love holidays but there is a downside, I will make sure I take my pedometer and do lots of walking.

    Have a fabulous day, on happy excited camper!

    Hey everyone!

    Hope you all had a good day! I'm pretty beat still from my workout yesterday, and I gotta do it again here soon! I am so ready for summer to be done! I hate working out in the heat, and I hate too cook anything because it is just too hot! Any who, I'm not sure what my feel good will be today ...a bubble bath does sound good!

    DAY 14! Last day before weigh in!!!!!! How did everyone do today? Thanks to everyone who's been active :D

    P90X is HARD! Awesome.... but HARD. I'm afraid my weight won't go down because of all the muscle-building stuff they focus on, but hopefully I lose a TON of inches!!!! Today my feel good was taking a nap with my little babe <3

    Keep on it, ladies!!!!! I believe in ALL of you!! Thank you for your participation and encouragement!
