Sixers LOVE Yourself Challenge Week 6 (final week)

Hi everyone! I'm still here lurking... School is picking up as I approach test week- Next Friday! The test is 100% of your grade! So needless to say, I will be spending most of my time studying and working out. I will be on to post when I can, especially next week so I can get in on the next challenge!!! I am still doing my a.m. workouts and a p.m. I woke up late yesterday and did 15 mins taebo bootcamp in the a.m. * proud that I STILL got it in *AND later did 2 hours of gym exercises! I did lots of stuff treadmill arc trainer, weights, dancing, spin class-taught by me/attended by me and BF lol- I got a great workout in! Was proud... NOw... RESULTS would be nice!

I That I was able to bench press 65 pounds yesterday!!! And I did 12 pull ups. *With my BF helping my legs a little. still VERY difficult though!


I hope everyone continues to do well! I read your posts and want to write an individual response to each of you but I MUST study :noway: Chat with you LAter Ladies!

WOW! 12 pull ups!!! that is great! Keep up the great workouts and you will definatly see results!!!! Good luck on your exam!

Well I had to take my daughter back to the dr yesterday. Last week she had a real high fever and they gave her a shot of rocephin and then she was doing better. Tuesday she started to run another fever although it wasnt all that high and then it went up yesterday so I took her back in. They tested her and she has the flu. My poor baby. The gym wil have to wait until Monday I guess. I usually like to go outside on the weekends and walk/jog if the weather is nice. I will do my ChaLean when she goes down for a nap and maybe something else also. I will have to see.

BTW... I really hate cleaning ( as long as it means to clean our body and not my house ) Im up for the name LOL.

Connie, I am with you here, LOL! I HATE to clean! But love the name!

Wow Cathy! That yardwork sounds more like a grueling trip to the gym to me. Way to go! Rest well, tonight!

Ladies, I was able to get up and head to the gym early this morning because my husband is off on Thursdays. It was so marvelous! I got to work out for an hour and ten minutes, then shower, then sit in the sauna for just a bit, then off to work. I had so much energy today. Then tonight the fam and I went back to the Y to swim. We only got to go for about 15 mins though because turns out a swim club was using the lap pool tonight. Oh well, think we will head back tomorrow afternoon.

So, Sixers Spring Clean, is that cleaning our bodies out by meeting our water requirements? I love the name!

Good night ladies!

Oooh Amy, I like that because I am really struggling to get all my water on most days. And I have noticed that on the days that I don't get enough water, I tend to over eat. BTW, how are you feeling?

Hey ladies!

I apologize profusley for my MIA status once again.. things are soo crazy with school and the personal life :blushing: My ex has our daughter every other week, and on the weekends I work, so I am getting alot of "Me" time- it feels like I am actually a real 23 year old without a kid!! Crazy! I miss my baby tons and tons though, and its not like she is with a stranger, its her daddy whom she absolutely adores!!! And when she starts the state funded prek this fall she wont be able to stay with him during the week at all, she will be back with my FT so I can take her to school!

So Ive been making sure to hit the gym- Wednesday was my off day- went to dinner and a movie with 2 close friends..watched "He's just not that into you" Sooo cute! Tonight I have my 2nd date with a guy I went out with about 2 weeks ago- Im REALLY looking forward to it!! So Ive been spending any extra time I have at stores looking for something great to wear! As you all know my fav store in the malls is Express..well I tried on their editor black pants..and the 14s were wayyy too big.. and they run SMALL!! I was sooooo excited. I tried on the 12s..they were a little loose too!!! :noway: I was in disbelief!!! So I get the 10s and try them on..well they fit PERFECT in the waist but were too tight in the legs for me! Im really weird about things being too close fitting now, so I went with the 12s. They fit more comfortably in the legs, though the waist is a tad too big. But I was soo excited!!! Talk about motivation for the gym!!

Weighed this morning and was down to 165.0lbs. Hopefully this will hold til our final check-in!!! Im not working alot this weekend, so I will have time to spend at the gym or at the park if the weather continues to be soo fantastic!!

Well got to get ready for class! I'll do personals tomorrow when I check back!!

Have a fantastic day ladies!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Ladies,

Done with mid-terms and I think I did pretty well. Yeah! I'm excited about the new challenge and our weather getting warmer. I must make weight loss my priority to lose the weight for this challenge. I did it before I can do it again. I can't wait to get my bike out again and just start walking outside. The tredmill is nice to have, but I really love to be outdoors.

Laruyn, At least you have not given up, so just keep hanging in there until you get through this difficult time you are going through. I hope you get your tredmill or something to use for exercise. Maybe even a few small weights if you don’t already have them would be a good investment. Good luck on getting re-committed to the healthy lifestyle we are all aiming for.

Connie, How about getting a reverse osmosis system for your house? I hear it cleans all bacteria out of the water.

Tamm, It is exciting and stressful moving and to stay focused on top of all that is a hard thing to do. We will do better next challenge right?

Amylou, Glad to see you are getting right back on track so fast from your little gain. I am at Baker college and they do have a weird system. They have 4 sessions of classes are 10 weeks long, and this is week 5. I will not continue here, but Anatomy & Physiology are tough to get into and this was the only place I could get into the class without waiting another semester.

Katie, It is nice that your aunt is coming to help you out. I’m sure she would want you to take some time to take care of yourself by going to the gym.

Cathy, Good job on the willpower staying away from that cake. I am still so jealous that you can work in your yard right now. I can finally see my grass for the first time in months. And its snowing again this morning, but probably won’t accumulate.

Pedal, It has really been a long time that you have not been feeling well. Bet your glad this is the end of it. Have fun with the kids today.

Katie, You have done a fantastic job at losing weight and all your hard work has paid off (shopping for clothes and getting into a size 10 WOW!!) Have fun on the date.

Have a great Valentines day

Well, I am down one more pound this morning. I am happy with that, but bummed that I am still two pounds away from my goal for this challenge. But, I did have such a fabulous workout yesterday and did pretty darn good with food, too. So for this, I am proud.

Deb, I am with you, so jealous about anyone being able to get outside. I, like you, can finally see a little bit of grass, but there are supposed to be some flurries today. I hope that is all it is. Sometimes when they say flurries, it turns into great big snow banks :ohwell: Can't wait for some fun in the sun! :glasses:

Didn't make it to the gym this morning, I slept instead. But, I should be able to make it this afternoon with no trouble.

I am so proud of all the hard work everyone has done. Katy, I can't wait to slide my size 10s on again, currently in a 12 and they are fitting much better than they were. It will come, I know.

Pedal- so glad you are on the upswing of things.
Connie- hope your kiddo is better.
Dr. Tamm-how are you?
gonabfit- did you get all that studying done?
Lauryn-how went the reweigh? how are you?
SBB- glad the workouts are going well
Kristin-hope you are having a great time
AmyLou- I have had a bit of that same battle with the scale this week. I remember one night, I got on the scale just before going to bed and it said 173 (which woud be a one pound gain), then when I got up the next morning, and yes, after peeing first, it said 174. Somehow, I gained a pound in my sleep? It will drive you crazy if you let it.
Amy-hello
Cathy-you should def take it easy and yes, ask Shanell where she has been, we miss her!

Ok, did I miss anyone? I hope not. If so, I apologize. Have a great day, ladies.

Katy, good on you for making the most of your 'me' time! And you continue to amaze and inspire me in your weight loss. Just amazing woman!

Cathy, good idea letting yourself heal before tearing it up again

AmyLou, have fun skiing this weekend!!

Katie, thanks for the warm words!

gonabfit, I haven't managed to say hi to you yet but HELLO!! Nice to "meet" you - how cool that you and your sister can do this together!

Hi everyone else Congrats on seeing some losses this morning - that's great! I forgot about weighing in so I'll have to check the damage on Tuesday. Looking forward to a new challenge right along with getting back into the swing of things :happy:

BBL!

ps ladies. i am going to be changing my name... fresh start (silly i know... but it is a mental thing :laugh:) not sure what it will be but i'll let you know!!!! :bigsmile:
