    STRONG IS THE NEW SEXY
    day 10!!!
    4 days till next weigh in and 21 days till we're all 10lbs lighter! sorry i've been AWOL think i'm coming down with something so took yday as my rest day! i'm back today though so let the cardio and toning begin!!!
    very interestin article in women's health about how strength training helps you lose more than cardio!!! so will be taking my strength training very seriously even though i dont use heavy weight, like p90x and tracy anderson, i defo believe in using you body weight as your resistance! very intersting article, cant get the link up but its sooo worth a read!!
    lots of thinspiration from fbmandy and maggiwatson!!
    please remember and weightloss is progress no matter how small!!!
    so! skinny ladies!! let the fun continue!!!

    Had a good couple of days with boot camp and walks and seeing results measurement-wise! I wore a dress last night that I had never been able to wear. Still had the tags on it! One size smaller!!

    I am getting a cold again though!!!! I hope it's just a day thing!! Will need to drink more fluids and stay warm.

    I have a 14km fun run on Sunday. Hope to jog most...walk the rest :) The end point is beautiful Bondi Beach.

    Thanks Maggie!! Eating healthier food has definitely made a difference. Also portion size.

    Question for all...eating back calories. Do you do it?

    Feeling a lot of pain today after yesterday's 14km fun run. All good pain though :)
    Will be off to boxing tonight...will take it easy but definitely want to keep going. My trainer will be measuring me tonight so keen to see measurements since my weight really isn't dropping by too much.

    Good luck to everyone with weigh-ins!! We're all doing so great with the food and exercise!!!

    I've been super sick this past week. I am completely nervous because, that means my range of motion has been minimal. I was rushing out the door this morning so, bright and early I'll weight in tomorrow. I hope this bug didn't set me back!

    I've been thinking about this challenge alot. My cousin/best friend has an emergency gallbladder surgery on Thursday last week. I was at the hospital with her all day and night and the next day and night too. I spent the weekend at her househelping her with kids and so far this week doing the same, she cannot lift over 15lbs and has a 3 year old and infant). SO, what that means is I've had no exercise other than running around like crazy and have been living off mostly fast food or unhealthy food. Good news is, as of today I haven't gained anything though I only lost .3 last week. Hoping for a good weigh in Friday!
