Hello ladies!
QOTD Tuesday: What is one of your favorite smells? Why?
The smell of fresh rain when it hits the dirt. It reminds me of the days of chillin' on my Grandmas porch.0 -
QOTD Tuesday: What is one of your favorite smells? Why?
For me it is fresh laundry and fabric softener, I just love getting into bed when the sheets have just been changed. I also love the smell of my Mum's perfume, I smell it on me when she kisses me goodbye and on my son when she looks after him. She is such a precious lady!
Water challenge going pretty badly for me.... do you guys only count pure water? I drink way too much coffee (I know I can't count that) and today I have been worse than normal !0 -
Favorite smell is freshly baked bread - we used to come home from school and the smell of fresh bread filled our house. To me it reminds me so clearly of my mother's love.0

QOTD Tuesday: What is one of your favorite smells? Why?
My favorite smell is the smell of fall. It's hard to explain but Bath and Body makes a candle fragrance called Leaves which is pretty close For me, fall means the start of football (Go Browns!) as well as my birthday. I love the fall chilly evenings with the windows open, wearing a sweatshirt and snuggling under a blanket. I love taking my labs for a run in the woods with all of the colorful leaves.0 -

I love the smell of Thanksgiving dinner cooking...it is such a special time for our family because we all get together and cook and eat and fuss and fight and hug and laugh...it is just a good time!0 -
QOTD Tuesday: What is one of your favorite smells? Why?
Well, a lot of my favourite smells have already been said - vanilla for sure (my favourite "flavour" of candles), the smell right after a warm summer rain, and the smell of laundry after it has been hung outside in the spring!
I also like the smell of coffee and cinnamon - makes me think of a warm house on a cold winter day!0 -
QOTD Tuesday: What is one of your favorite smells? Why?
I would say that one of my favorite smells is the smell of pine. I like to use pine to clean and it also reminds of things being clean. I also love the smell because it reminds me of Christmas. I dont purchase a Christmas tree but I purchase pine cones to place around the house.

This is going to sound really weird...but I love the smell of men's old spice deodorant. lol. It's just a nice manly smell. It's better than cologne in my opinion.
And it's funny how certain shampoos or perfumes can remind me of a certain time in my life.0 -
Oh, and I LOVE the smell of Lavendar! So relaxing!
****************************************************************
By the way, I will be out of state for some training for my job Sept 12th-16th. But I think I should be able to use my phone to check the message board and check in with my partner. I just may be late on the weigh in. Prob won't have a scale at the hotel, so I might have to weigh in first thing Saturday morning. Is that okay?0 -

Well...first off...Weekly Challenge: up to 67 oz of H20 today!!
My favorite smell - saddle leather...to this day it can still bring me back to 9 years old and my first lesson horse, a big chestnut warmblood named Bert...the MOST forgiving horse I've ever had the pleasure to ride :-)0 -

LOL it's TRUE!!! I love the smell of gas too!!! I think its because it reminds me of my daddy, he was a mechanic and always smelled of gas and oil :-)0 -

So funny - I actually use men's deodorant. I like Axe and Old Spice -- basically anything they market to guys to attract ladies? You know they must have focus groups of ladies smelling them and telling them if they like the scents or not.
In the beginning it was just because I'd stay over at my BFs but after the first time I wore it to work and kept looking up and thinking "Mmmmm who smells like BOY....oh tis ME!" I was kind of hooked. So we both just use the same one.0 -
QOTD Tuesday: What is one of your favorite smells? Why?
My grandmother's (we call her Honey) perfume, and simply the scents I associate with her. I am really close to my grandmother and always have been. She is a beautiful, loving, elegant woman and I have always said I want to be just like her. She has worn the same perfume my whole life and she sometimes sprays gifts and cards with it. I wrote a poem about her a few years ago and I mentioned some of the things we associate with her. The first stanza went something like, "Her scent is like just-picked flowers or the sugar water she puts out for the birds. Her scent is like Honey, because that's what we call her. My beautiful, eighty-year-old grandmother who got her first kiss at twenty-one, and that was from my grandfather." (She's eighty-eight now and still as beautiful and elegant as ever.)0 -

My favourite smells are probably strawberry and cinnamon. No reason, I just like them. I also love the smell of the ocean.0 -

I love the smell of spring, tomorrow is the first day of Spring here and as I was walking to pick my son up from School today I could smell that lovely fragrant flower smell in the air, it just put a smile on my face , that and the fact it means that the cold weather will soon be gone, yay!!
Also love the smell of freshly washed and dried sheets on the bed, oh and cut grass!!0 -
QOTD Tuesday: What is one of your favorite smells? Why?
There are a lot of smells I really like! I like the smell of the ocean. When I fly somewhere on holidays and I get of the plane, I like it when I get off the plane and the first thing I feel is all the hot air and the smell of the ocean!
Something else I also really love is the smell of good food, I like it when I come home to my mom and the house smells of food and also when I cook myself. I often smell the food before I taste it. It is delicious, when it is freshly made and with a lot of herbs and spices.
I also like the smell of christmas, including Christmas Tree, Candles, Christmas cookies.0 -
Wednesday QOTD:
What is one habit you hope to pickup or drop during this Challenge? (i.e. water intake, eat less carbs, get more protein, etc)
My response:
I have a terrible time drinking my 64oz of water so I'm hoping to make this a habit. I have a 52oz Bubba Mug that I want to start filling up every morning (around 8am EST) and have it empty before I leave work (5pm EST) plus I normally drink a 16.9 oz bottle of water while i'm at the gym. If I can manage to make this a habit, I will be getting 68.9oz of water a day Mon-Fri...not sure how to get it during the weekend :grumble:0 -

My Response:
I hope to gain more patience and realize that I will not always have a good week and to stick with it and NOT get discouraged!0 -
Always understanding and being aware of PORTION CONTROL!!! That has been a huge hurdle over the years for me because my idea of a "portion" has always been distorted. I am doing much better with this since I've been on MFP and hope to make small portions all throughout the day my new normal.
Have a great day!0 -

Usually I don't eat breakfast before I leave for work! I hope I can change this during this challenge!0 -

I need to drink more water. I really don't like to drink water, so we shall see if I can make it a habit to drink the right for me.0 -

Since joining MFP and tracking my food I have noticed that my sodium intake is way too high. I am usually always on the go and like to eat quick meals which are higher in sodium. So I have started making changes in my diet to decrease my sodium intake.

I've been struggling with my water intake for awhile. I always carry around my nalgene filled with water and I have an android app that reminds me to drink regularly, and I still can't seem to make the 8 cups. I usually manage around 6, so I'm going to continue working on that this challenge.0 -

While I drink a lot of water (8-10 cups a day), I usually flavor it with propel. I am trying to drink more plain water and hope to continue to do so during this challenge. Also, four months ago I drank diet pepsi from morning until night. Now I am down to one 24 oz bottle every morning. I would like to get down to one 12 oz bottle a morning (but I'm not willing to give it all up - I still need my caffeine to function at 7:30 a.m.! I know some of you probably feel that that is still bad for me, but it is one vice that I am keeping right now.)0 -
Wednesday QOTD:
I would say that the habit I hope to pick up is just really being aware of what I am consuming and no having to look it up every time. Also recognize that since I do strength training and work out a lot I should consume more protein0 -
I would like to gain more exercise.0
