    Rowing -hmmm, must try harder. I still have to dig out the weights, but will try with a couple of tin cans this evening.

    Reading labels - think I'm doing OK there. I still need to work out for myself what my sugar intake should be - I'm often over but it is (usually) because of fruit.

    Me time - not much chance of that this week (OH away on business) so I'm counting computer time and the early night I squeezed in last night.

    Everyone seems to be doing so much exercise, I feel such a slacker.

    Worked out with my trainer today. Did enough tricep exercises to totally kill my triceps! Getting ready for the storm. . . got peanut butter and V8!

    Did my yoga/batwing elimination workout (weights) in the morning and spent 4 hours walking around the city tonight (with a little bit of shopping of a brief respite for some water). Rewarded myself with a light Starbucks and some very rare mint chocolate chip ice cream.

    Bought myself a new bathing suit. Spent a little too much, but it is super cute. =) Hopefully it is tight enough now I will still be able to wear it next summer if I get smaller!

    Have a great weekend everyone!!

    Rows completed for 3 days so far. Having a break today as I am travellinh to my mums house.

    Have been really looking at labels and have managed to stay under my 1200 calories for ever day (except Thursday, that was a pretty crappy day). Yesterday was my daughters birthday, so I really restricted what I ate during the day so I could join her on her birthday meal. She wanted chicken keiv and roasted potoatoes, but when I looked at the label, the calorie, fat and sodium content were so high I couldn't justify it so I substituted my chicken for 100gms of turkey breast. Even with a peice of her birthday cake I still ended up 300 calories under my goal.

    Have been spending about half an hour every night curled up with a good book. Loving it!

    I'll admit I didn't do the rows today. I've been feeling kind of cruddy but at the same time I've been cleaning the house like a loon. Daniel's sister is back from Germany and well the ironic thing is the house we live in used to be hers before she moved and I know she'll stop by and I don't want her going what a mess! LOL.. She's a sweet lady I like her but I also know she likes a clean house and I want to be able to show that I can take care of it!

    Me time - I went grocery shopping!

    Food - Yeah I didn't eat much but that's also because I haven't really been feeling like eating today.

    You all have a great night. Chat at ya tomorrow. I gotta finish up the cleaning and laundry and then I'm gunna sleep.

    Hi ladies! I'm taking a break from the exercise today; don't want to but I need to. Will get back on it tomorrow. I haven't been shopping again since last weekend so not reading labels. I guess I could read the labels on the stuff I already bought. :huh: I'm planning on getting my mani/pedi on Sunday but guilt may override that. I have to help my mom tomorrow so hubby has to take care of the baby so might feel bad leaving them alone on sunday again. :ohwell:

    I hope all you ladies on the east coast have a safe weekend! If you'd like to send some of that rain down south I won't argue!!! :wink:

    wooo hoo did my rows today! also had SUCH a cheat day its not even funny (check out the diary if ya want), but i am not ashamed at all. I needed a little cake and bread for my sanity, so I'm also counting that as my "me time" :) back on the wagon tomorrow and hunkering down for Irene! unfortunately that means working out on the "dreadmill" all weekend instead of running outside :( anyway, stay safe all you others in Irene's path! and everyone else, have a great weekend!

    Motivation high today. I've done my rows (2 sets of 15 each side), did 30 day shred, level 1 day 1, under my calorie quota with in excess of 5 fruit and veg, 10 glasses of water drunk, had me time walking the dog for half an hour this evening and now me time on MFP. Doing well - long may it continue!

    You are ON IT, buddy! I see I am the slouch in this pairing :embarassed: Well, I better get back on it! One hour of morning Wii games and rows & evening walks for thirty minutes. Tweeked my caloric/exercise goals and happier with how it is working out, even tho my calorie limit is lower :huh: Keeps me in line, I guess. Getting closer to 8 glasses of water on average. It's all good :bigsmile:

    Everyone seems to be doing so much exercise, I feel such a slacker.

    me too! working 60 hours a week just sucks the life out of me it seems. no time for excuses to myself though, just gotta make myself get up and out of bed earlier in the morning :yawn:

    we can do this! and btw, i also want to make my Mii stop swelling up :laugh:

    I went out to eat last night too...bar food. I ordered a grilled chicken breast sandwich no mayo and removed the bun and just sliced away at the chicken. It came with fries, I shared them with a friend and just nibbled on a few of them! Eureka!

    Hey, you're making your own progress. Keep at it. :)

    Also, I love your "cute and fluffy" quote. Stolen!

    WHOA! Good for you! I have this kind of discipline in week 1... I'm hoping to continue this for a year.

    Good Morning all you lovely Bombshells!

    I'm ready for the day. Slept in until 7 am. Hey, that's an acomplishment for me. Usually I'm up at 5:30 am.

    Went grocery shopping yesterday since work cut our hours. :mad: I got to start searching for a new job. Surprsingly, I was able to get a quite a bit for only $80.00 however I still lack fruit and yogurt. I forgot them. I'll go and look for them either today or Monday.

    Plan to get my rows in today early along with my walk. It's gunna be awful hot here so I may have to pop in the DVD instead of going out.

    Did most of the cleaning yesterday! The house is looking better. I got to work on the dining room and bathroom and that will take care of it all but will wait until Daniel goes onto work. Hard to clean when he is here.

    For dinner I'm going to be making Chicken Pot Pie Soup from SkinnyTaste.com.

    I love that site. I may be using a bit more from now on. :laugh:

    Have a wonderful day girls!

    I suggested a poem read to Misty "The Don't Quit" poem. If you all haven't read it before go on and do so.

    http://www.thedontquitpoem.com/thePoem.htm

    I've found it helped me out a lot this week.

    You all are beautiful wonderful strong woman and we can rock this! I hope after this challenege is over we continue staying in touch somehow. :heart:

    Thank you so much girl!!! That is what I needed to hear this morning.....You are doing great and I am proud of you :) I have learned in the last 24 hours that 1. I have amazing Betty's on my side 2. I cant let someone dictate my life for me by names I chose to call BS and move on and keep doing what I am doing, just makes me stronger & more out to prove them wrong :) And yes I hope we still keep communicating after this, but you never know we may keep Bomshel Betty's going and going like the Energizer Bunny..lol....talk to everyone soon :)

    Ok sorry I didn't log in yesterday. I did get my rows in but didn't make it to the gym. I did a lot of cleaning and rearranging in the house, so I did burn calories, but I also didn't eat the best. So not sure!

    Today I have been to the gym, worked out for 2 hours and burned 1291 calories. NOw trying to decide what me and the hubby are going to be doing with the kids. Me time was at the gym and also being on here. Accomplished rows! 8 pound weights 2 sets of 12. Also did other weights at the gym too.

    Really wondering if i"m going to even have a loss this week. Afraid I might have a gain! Really going to start working harder. my buddy is doing really awesome, I should be following her lead, but I"ve been having so much running to do for the kids starting school that I haven't had time to do things for myself. This will get better this coming week. So even if I have a gain this monday at weigh in it won't stay long because I'm going to be kicking into high gear for now on. And concentrating on myself!

    Good for you, I unfortunately do not think I've had as much success! Do plan on changing things up this week and having big number off of scale next week!

    Good Evening you beautiful Bombshell Betty(s). I did had such a great day today and was able to do my rows and my abs( 8 min abs) and LOTs of cardio doing a zoo trip with my mom, children and best friend.

    So I have been thinking lately about some things...... one thing i love about MFP is i feel like i am not on a diet. I had to do a change in life style. Before when i was on a diet i would cut sweets/meat/carbs/preservatives from my diet and i felt like i was punishing myself while i was on the diet for being fat. Well since i have joined MFP i have enjoyed all those little treats that i have once enjoyed but did it in moderation. Instead of having an entire pizza i will have 1 slice, instead of having an ENTIRE bag of chips i will have one portion. Instead of eating the ENTIRE tray of cookies I will have just one and i work it into my calories for the day. And i have learned how savor every bite. I enjoy food sooo much more now then i did when i was just shoveling it away. i also look for new ways of improving my life. new ways of making my life a little more active every day. Instead of sitting on the couch waiting for my daughter to bring me a toy for us to play with, i crawl around on the floor with her and all her toys. And because of this mind set change i have lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks and i feel AMAZING!

    Good for you!! I feel exactly the same way! I feel like I'm finally learning moderation, which is something that none of the other diets I've been on have successfully managed to teach me. I'm actually (*gasp!*) starting to like exercising again too! :)

    Hey my beautiful bombshells! I haven't done my rows today. Working out was hard, but I did it, just not in its entirety. I could really use the day off tomorrow, especially considering that I have to work for 12 hours. Ugh. Anyway, watching my calories is going really well. I'm hardly ever hungry! Just been eating at least something small pretty consistently. As far as me time, I'm going out for drinks tonight with some old friends and I'm channeling my inner bombshell to step out in style:

    I'm going to get my rows done in a few minutes.
    I read the label on the jiffy banana nut muffins and decided only to eat half a muffin instead of a whole one.
    For mind and body I am going to relax and watch a movie with my husband tonight.

    I'll be weighing in and filling out the form on Monday!

    Well my darlin' Bombshells it's been another Saturday.

    I did my rows, yay!

    However, I ate way past my calories and my sodium. Darned pizza craving. Do I feel guilty? No. I know I wanted it, I ate it, logged it, and I'm moving on. Tomorrow is another day where I can make my good choices. If nutrients were Gods and Demons, sodium would be the Devil indeed.

    I see you all have had a lovely day!

    Dinner that I made was real tasty. Chicken pot pie soup! Kind of ironic since it's almost 100 degrees outside. LOL. Didn't even miss the bread/crust. Got plenty of leftovers too!

    As for me time I'm gunna catch up on my book and do my journaling for the exercises in it before Daniel comes home and then I'll spend some time with him and go on to bed. Got to work tomorrow.

    NoMereButterfly - Looking gorgeous and I love the necklace!

    Anyway I'm off to let the soup in the pot cool and containerize it once it is that way and got to put my sheets back onto the bed.

    I may check in one last time before bed time!

    Love to all. Stay safe and I'm thinking of ya all!

    I finally was able to get a good workout in today. It seems for the last few days I have been too busy to do more than an hour. Now I have to make time for sleep!
