Bombshell Betty's (closed group)

Just did my weekly check in --- :bigsmile:

I have no problem with walking from the furthest parking spot. I go to school and it takes me about 10 minutes to walk to the front of the building. Exercise don't seem to be to bad. It will be a good challenge.

1. Green apple for me everyday for lunch.
2. Unfortunately their isn't a farmers market in my area, so this is something that I can not do. I wish I had one though, they have the best stuff.
3. Me and my son have play time everyday. I always make sure to get in 30 minutes of just us time. I really don't see him a whole lot with school and everything else crazy in my life.

Im eating healthy and exercising at least 4 times a day now. 5 am wake up call not so much fun, but it will be worth in the long run.

Check it out!

Cool, thanks for video!

To Leela: That is awesome on your weight drop! Some serious effort on your part, I am sure...

Doing the exercise challenge best I can - can't get up and down off the floor because of my hip so have to do them on the sofa.

Nutrition challenge is easy - I always eat something green every day! (I'm a spinach nut)

The last challenge is hard for me. We'll see how it goes.

So my weekend was good, I ate out on Sat but I was good and had sea bass, then it all went to pot when I hit the budweiser! Didn't do much at all on Sunday as it was very cold and windy and also I was so tired as we'd had a late night on Saturday.

I'm full of motivation today and even though I only lost a pound last week I'm looking forward to seeing how all us bombshells did in week one. Hope you all have a good day and that things are looking up for those who are feeling down - I know they are for me and part of the reason is this lovely group of ladies!

Oh and my aunt came to visit at the weekend and brought me a gorgeous uk size 10 dress, it's black, calf length and 20's style flapper, it looked on the small side but it fit me like a glove - can't wait to wear it

looking forward to this weeks challenge!! but i had a question for the fellow bombshells...i am stuck in a miserable plateau, just wondering if any of you have found ways to break through plateaus before??

any advice would be much appreciated

when I hit my plateau (it seemed to go on for almost 3 weeks), I decided to try to 17 day diet and it has really revved up my metabolism and I have been moving in the right direction every since.

J, I soooo want a LBD for new years. I'm trying to sculpt my back, arms and shoulders so I will look smashing in it. Make sure you post the pic when you wear it out. That's so motivating.

I will, I'm going to wear it on Saturday to my friends hen party (batchelorette) Can't wait to wear it x

Yesterday
I only went to the gym yesterday and I parked far away only because there are never any close parking spaces.
I didn't complete the core exercise challenge, getting ready to do it now.

For nurtition, I exactly did have green peppers and onions in my eggs before reading about it. Also, I had a salad yesterday.

I need to find out how to get in touch with lower farmers. I know there are a few around here. I'm going to try to make some phone calls about that one today.

For my mind/body/spirit challenge, I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with my MIL and I felt so much stronger and empowered once I got off the phone. I need to learn to let things roll of my back instead of carrying them around with me.

I'll be back later to report my progress from today.

Nutrition:
My green food today so far has been key lime flavored greek yogurt. It was pretty darned tasty!

Oh and when I make my tuna burgers for linner (lunch/dinner) because I'm all about multi purposeful food for more then one meal I will have a pickle and maybe some green peppers (if the green peppers are still good), I have salad mix too so I could always toss my tuna burger into that and have that too. Oh choices choices!

The boyfriend better not gobble all them up either. He ate almost nearly all my tuna burgers last time! He's asleep right now and I have a mess of dishes to wash which those will be done on the four hour break because I'm gunna be starting work soon here in about 40 mins.

As far as farmers there's plenty of 'em around here, I should talk to one sometime. But I'm painfully shy in real life and get embarassed easy.

Exercises:

No haven't done them yet today. I did them yesterday though. I know it says only 3x a week but I think I may do more then that. We'll see.

Mind/Body/Sprit :

I want to get back into journaling whether it be on here or on paper.
I also want to learn yoga and meditation, any advice on that?

Love all you Bombshells!

Hello Bombshell Betty's, Hope everybody is having a wonderful day today! I actually can say that I am. Went to the gym today for 1.5 hours. Burnt 916 calories.
Exercise challenge complete, I parked far away from gym, I also did the ab routine!
Nutrition: Complete had green lettuce for lunch.
Mind & Body: I repeated the quote to myself this morning. Also have been thinking about joing tai chi for getting in touch with my inner child.

Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow, hoping to have some weight & inches off.

Luckily, in small villages around Greece, most produce (and meat, for that matter) at local supermarkets is totally local. But, I often go to the manabiko when I am downtown to pick up some uber fresh fruit and veggies.
