Bombshell Betty's (closed group)

Hello fellow Bombshell Bettys!

Week 2 status update:

Good news: I lost 1 pound last week. Bad news: I didnt move a millimeter in my measurements. grrr.

This weeks Challenge:

Walking: I do a lot of walking already. I get off 5 stops early on my tram ride to work and walk the rest of the way, So in honour of this weeks challenge, I am going to go for a 30-45 minute walk in the evenings (using my hand weights from the rows).

Green: I love broccoli - I eat it 5-6 times a week . But I will make a concerted effort to eat green fruit this week (usually on only eat mandarins, berries and bananas) - so here come apples, grapes,um... any other green fruit suggestions?

Farmers Market: I already shop every Friday afternoon at my local produce market

Crunches: Havent done them for years, but I used to like doing them - excited to start these exercises, but not looking forward to the muscle aches afterwards

Hi Ladies!

Well I've lost a bit more weight this week so that's looking pretty good!

As for the exercises a lot of those ab moves are in my videos and classes that I'm taking so those are covered!

I've been trying to make an effort to add more green foods into my diet. For example, I included celery and green onions (does it count if there is green in the name?) to my new swedish meatball recipe. I'm also apart of a local co-op that lets me order fresh fruits, vegetables, breads and meats from local farms. I love getting foods fresh!

For my inner child, well I already indulge her a bit too much! My favorite way to get in touch with her though, is by playing in the park with my dog. I do like the idea mentioned of coloring books. I just may have to go get some!!

I made it to my workout - kickboxing. It was a good class. I really feel good. I had a hard time going. I wouldn't have gone in fact if I hadn't been in the red. But I forced myself to go & so glad I did.

Water - check.
I parked in the furthest spot at the gym.
Greens is still an issue. I had some green onions in my eggs for breakfast, but that's it. I ate some fruit though. That's gotta count right? I am so bad with the veggies. Well, the green veggies at least.

Hope everyone is doing well tonight. Will check back in the AM

Quick check in - I had greens in my sub at lunch; that's about it. I didn't have such a good day today. I parked in the same place at work but had to park close at dr's (the only other place I went) because I was so LATE for my appt. No crunches tonight - sorry. Too tired and going to sleep soon.:yawn:

Hello! Should be asleep, but not yet..... I realize I have got to get this week's ab workout in!! But, I am doing well with the green thing. Don't know if I will make it to a farmer's market...maybe Saturday? Inner child, where are you?????????? lol.....But, I can say your mantra for this week helped me avoid a piece of cake at work today! Thanks Misty!

My dinner tonight:

Bombshell Betty's Green Veggie Stirfry (serves 3)

1 med zucchini, sliced thinly
1 med broccoli head and stalk, chopped into florets
1/2 cauliflower head, chopped into small florets
1 medium onion, finely chopped.
1 small green pepper, sliced
3 medium sized mushrooms, sliced.
1/3 of a quarter head of green cabbage, finely sliced.

Stirfried in about 2 tablespoons of oil.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chili flakes to taste.

Delicious!

I really don't make the best food choices. I eat what we use to eat, just modified & smaller portions. I don't know if I could do this if I had to completely change my eating habbits. I am not a big veggie gal. I have given up on a lot of my favs... fried chicken, chicken fried steak, big breakfasts with hashbrowns & bacon.

I don't blame you one bit. I also have not given anything up. I eat what I want when I want, but when I do it, I use more portion control than I use to. I've tried dieting in the past when I've given things up and yes I did lose the weight, but I eventually would give in to temptation and binge, then I would gain all the weight back plus some! This way I am working on losing weight in a way that I can maintain for the rest of my life becuase i'm not giving anything up! Good luck to ya!

Well today I decided was going to be my day off of exercising and calorie counting. My body is a little too sore from doing circuit training yesterday. I am going to get back in it tomorrow with re-starting Chalean Exteme! I did park farther away from the doors today though. I also ate alot of green vegetables. For my inner child I cried when my little man got onto the bus today for his first day of kindergarten! I also watched him in his first night of tai kwon do class!

I will catch up with you all tomorrow!

Hello Betty's! Home today taking care of a sick baby so no parking far away. I did eat my greens though (pear and broccoli). I haven't done crunches yet - maybe before bed. I did alot of walking today ---

I was able to get my exercise done and parked far away. I only had 1 green, spinach, but I had some other colors!
